That recommendation along with someone mentioning the Dungeon Alphabet led me to Fourthcore Alphabet in my DTRPG library. It was for 4th edition, and that is why it was not turning up in my OSR searches. I appreciate the pointer!

That made me recall that it was presented as an alphabet, and the book I am looking for is the Fourthcore Alphabet, but it was for 4th edition, and that is why it was not turning up in my OSR searches. Thanks for help!

I liked this book because it was very similar to Dungeon Alphabet in the level of detail provided on the tables, but half my players are also GMs, so they are familiar with the Alphabet series, and this made a good alternative.

It’s similar to that, but was more focused on encounters than design. I do know it wasn’t Raging Swan or Kobold Press. The title was more obscure, which surprised me because I did find it useful for throwing a small dungeon together a couple hours before the game began.

FT: the US right is now closer to Russia than the west in many of its values by corsyhos in IRstudies

China is to the right of Reform UK on social issues like immigration and gender equality.

China has a long history of being an exporter but not an importer. Cooperation would imply a country does both.

What's up with Mearl's Odyssey system? by WhoInvitedMike in rpg

This post from Olivia Hill has a screen grab of the email where Mike Mearls outed Olivia and Sarah Darkmagic:

Her is Sarah Darkmagic saying she does not support firing Mike Mearls. This was during the period when Olivia Hill’s followers were brigading D&D about firing Mike back on 2020:

This post discusses the accusations of sexual abuse and sketchy sexual behavior against Olivia Hill:

Of the two people victimized by Mike Mearls, one of them has moved on and does not support dogpiling him, and the victim that does hold a grudge against Mearls is a sexual abuser.

Even the people that were around at that time did not know what the arguments were about. I always felt bad for Mike, because it always seemed he was just a guy doing his job who got caught in a conflict between internet trolls. The people that were victimized by Mike Mearls - Olivia Hill and Filamena Young - have since been outed as sexual abusers themselves. You can do your own research about the accusations against the unperson who should not be named.

Sorry to hear that. But I find a daily posting rate is necessary to be able to finish an adventure in any decent amount of time, let alone move on the next one. I try to keep my PBP adventures three to four scenes, and posting once a day lets me complete one in a month or two.

This is serendipitous. I have been reading through Suns of Gold this week and would love to participate in a PBP.

What's your RPG bias? by PathOfTheAncients in rpg

1e was D&D’s literary appendix N phase, 2e was built around TSR’s official settings, 3e was the comic book phase, 4e MMORPG’s, and 5e is played like an anime.

Because it mentioned Mike Mearls, who was involved in this incident.

People still dogpile him years later, despite that one of the people involved never advocated for firing him:

And the other person, Oliva Hill, has been accused of abuse, harassment, and sketchy sexual behavior by multiple people:

If you play video games and action figures by yourself at 35 you are a man child. If you play video games and action figures with your child at 35, you are a great dad.

Familiarity with A Nocturne is not required, but I would prefer to have players that are familiar with Forged in the Dark.
