A #DnD reminiscence:
A friend from elementary school came over 1 day to hang out and said “We’re going to play this new game I got.”
He didn’t phrase it as a question. It was a statement of intent.

I just found out Rick Davies, co-founder of Supertramp, passed away about 2 weeks ago. This one hurts.
Alongside Rush, the Grateful Dead, Yes, Jethro Tull… #Supertramp was in my top 5 musical influences.
“Goodbye stranger; it’s been nice.
Hope you find your paradise.”

I’ve seen this meme making the rounds and a lot of folks taking it out of its original context.
Here’s the thing: this meme isn’t about rules minutia. It’s about play styles and gatekeeping.

Ok, this is f*cking ridiculous. DriveThruRPG has delisted Rebel Scum because of “hateful politics”.

Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope."

Hot #dnd take:
I’m going to annoy a lot of old school folks by saying that “fun house” modules were rarely that much fun. White Plume Mountain barely scrapes by when the DM makes liberal changes. The absurdities are just too immersion breaking for my tastes. What do folks think? #osr

There’s a weird narrative (led by Mike Mearls oddly) on the Xitty site that #dnd5e is somehow failing when the Hasbro investor report clearly states otherwise.
The earnings report states “both the new [PHB] and [DMG] are breaking records for the
best-selling D&D books ever.”

D&D just turned 51.
Dungeons & Dragons turns 50 as of this week. By historical accounts, the very first wood grain box sets were shipped the last week of January in 1974. I also look back to about 1978 when I first learned about #DnD.

I dropped a #chocolate truffle and it literally landed in an open peanut butter jar. I had opened the peanut butter for an unrelated purpose. Clearly, this is a message.
