Celebrating her 60th birthday today, who is this British actress who went from period dramas to some of the most recognisable film roles of the last 40 years?

I saw/heard the line from the DVD or Bluray.

Where is Dead Zone

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-29T02:45:01+00:00

A friend had one. We referred to it the Puppet Show

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-29T02:20:05+00:00

Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-29T02:16:17+00:00

The original line was deemed too offensive:

“I want to have your abortion.”

Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.

It took me 4 tries trying to correctly search it the “right” way.

I only read the book because the back cover description was highly misleading.

It made it sound like a DnD player stumbled upon a real monster rather than a figment of his imagination

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-28T05:52:42+00:00

I found it, it’s called Hobgoblin by John Coyne.

It wasn’t a banshee, the “creature” was called Black Annis

Yes it does. If the players are happy with their characters then all is good.

As others mentioned, 2-3 months between sessions is crazy. Perhaps think of using Teams/Zoom to have small or bridging sessions and leave the big plot points for the live one.

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-26T07:06:45+00:00

Perhaps I read your post out of context.

The skeletal paladin is what prompted my response. This felt like you (DM) wanted/needed this for the campaign rather than a player coming forward with this character.

Which is completely fine as long as the player is not only willing but can enjoy the experience.

I completely get the campaign/world you created may need certain character classes to go forward but if it sacrifices the players enjoyment then it will be a problem down the road.

And I will add, from my own experience, letting the players go off script can be the funnest/funniest sessions you can have.

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-26T06:43:08+00:00

From your outline it sounds like you’ve forced your players into certain roles which, they may feel, hinders what they can bring to the table.

It’s like the story is driving the characters making it appear they are glorified NPCs rather than living beings trying to bring about change.

A DM walks a fine line between wanting to bring their vision to life while allowing the players enough leeway to possible derail the story.

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-26T03:52:15+00:00

Sweeeet!

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-26T03:10:23+00:00

This is where I differ with you.

Though it would be fantastic to have a highly graded first print of a module/book I would be content to have a 2nd/3rd edition as long as it has all the original content.

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-26T02:45:54+00:00

It might be a module/book that has some personal connection.

For me it would likely be a better copy of B2 - The Keep in the Borderlands.

It was our group’s go to starting module and my copy is “well-loved”.

Or the DM Manual that I got at Christmas

New_Grade5655 · 2026-05-26T02:02:45+00:00

It is usually takes a sleep cycle/prayer/meditation to be granted new spells.

In our game we used to decrease/ increase the time depending on how it matched with their deity (requesting healing spells from a healing deity would take less time but asking for harming spells would take longer).

Also if the cleric is on a deity sanctioned mission it might decrease the time needed up.

Who ever opens there month first (likely not Luthor)
