<ahem> UMACKSHULLY Stranger Things, Season Five, Episode Four, the sorcerer class with it’s innate spell casting ability wasn’t introduced until third edition. So I would assume there will be a time travel episode thirteen years in the future to explain their knowledge of this. <sniiiiiiifff>

Fucking hell Travellerdom, get a grip. Looks like I have to get out the meme for crotchety American Grognards when they get way too preoccupied about WotC for some of you. Sure the news is a bit “jumping of the shark” but don’t demean yourselves dropping to that level.

Not sure it this was a regional thing, an 80’s latch key kid thing, or just a cheap parent thing, but did anyone else take the time to grate some cheap cheddar cheese on to a paper plate, and then just eat that as a snack? 🤔😅

Today we give thanks for our UK friends, who took one look at their most zealot, sexually repressed, self righteous prudes and said, “You know what? Let’s export that problem.” And the rest is American history. 🦃

Just a short parental pride side bar:
My daughter’s art assignment, to create a “disguised turkey.” Ink and crayon. Very cute. 😊❤️🐰🦃

Shadowdark. I’ve read it, I’ve played it, I’ve enjoyed it. But for the life of me, I still can’t quite wrap my head around the massive presence it’s generated. It clearly works for a lot of people, so why doesn’t it hit me the same way?

Recording our first episode tomorrow, focusing on Character Creation. We’ll be looking at how my son’s group approaches D&D, preferred methods and changes, how older editions differ, and his highlights from Traveller, CoC, DCC, Cyberpunk, Mork Borg and more.
Questions for him? Drop them here.

This is obviously a british publication, and so while I would have never come across it back in the day, looking at this cover and what was offered there in, I wish I had. 🤘🏻😊

80 pounds. 80 pounds down since New Years 2025. It is the holidays, so I will try to remain resolute, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my holiday Lion Bar. I mean, a world without Christmas Lion Bars is not a world I want to be in. 😅

You’ve got to admire the unabashed optimism and hubris when a creator stares down 50 years of system design the way someone across the bar sizes up a leather clad outlaw with a confirmed body count and whispers, “I can fix them.” 😉

When it comes to releases and likewise preorders of TTRPGs, do you prefer a general date with a very good chance of it being pushed back, a vague amorphous period of time of it’ll drop when it drops, or just stop with the potential chain yanking and just announce it when it’s actually available?

After interviewing many RPG designers, I’ve noticed a trend. Quite a few have taken the technicolor tour through their own subconscious. Now, I can’t “officially” recommend the practice, though based on their output, it’s hard to argue to ignore the Venn Diagram of results. 😅🍄🤪
