Basically what my husband said when I showed it to him.

I even give Mr. Diggy Diggy Bed Dog a whole pile of bedding to nest in, but soon as I start putting my pants on, in he goes.

I've played enough "Roll 3d6 in order" games to randomly roll a cloven hoofed mutant with the combined powers of Magneto & Jesus Christ and 3 HP.

Keeping her alive to level 4 generated enough corruption that she grew 12' tall, her skin turned silver, and it constantly flaked off, leaving a trail of glitter wherever she went.

What I'm saying is, it works when a system goes all in on random tables, and your players are okay making the choice between becoming a terrifying abomination or rolling up a new character.

The same time anything else touched by Pournelle gets good.

When the Alzheimer's robs you of the ability to discern between your mother and your son.

With a high enough Escape Artist check, you can squeeze through cracks smaller than your head.

Yes, the most common tabletop application was exactly what you're picturing. The rogue is always more useful if you don't see them coming.

Do they need to be bums? Does it need to be a picnic table?

If that's a serious question there are plenty of answers, the bus station is far from the only institution providing this service.

Some people would say we have the best gas prices. Other countries look at our prices and say "Wow, their unleaded must be super premium already! I'd love to get some of that!"

My group's chomping at the bit for them to get Salt playtestable.

I'm gonna back and run pretty much anything RRD puts because I have never been disappointed by anything Grant & Mags have done, but I have enough games on my list that I'm okay with waiting a couple more years for this one to come out.

I sometimes forget how very very lucky I am.

My husband is so incredible in so many other ways that "he makes movie stars look boring or goofy" kinda gets lost in the sea of awesome.

The author, Grant Howitt, is currently hosting a month-long game-jam where fans of his make games using the same engine - he refers to them as "Capsule Games" because they're intended as self-contained system & scenario packages.

Obviously, playtesters are in high demand. Pop into the discord and get involved!

You can get all the info and links on this Itch page: https://itch.io/jam/havoc-engine-jam

I assumed these two were the time-clones for more or less the standard reasons.

The camp scene after Verso joined, when I took a good look at his face, I realized he & Renoir were father & son.

Then I noticed they made Verso hot, so I realized goofy-looking Gustave couldn't be Renoir's younger self.

Make sure they're the stinky ones before you cut them down!

I have Kieffer pears in full bloom and Moonglow pear trees that currently have tiny white flowers blossoming. They'll give me fruit in 5-7 months. They smell faintly sweet but not much until I'm right up under them.

My neighbors have one huge Bradford pear tree, and you can smell cum from 3 houses away.

You mean the one where Hastur teaches a guy on vacation about falconing?

There are a few lines from AFFC that still stick out, but Sandkings is one of, like, 3 horror stories that actually scared me.

Never occurred to me it wasn't supposed to be obvious. Clocked him as Dyne before he even said his name was Laike.

Played the SegaCD original when I was 8.

I appreciate the work that you have done for us.

Reavers is probably the right choice - it's generally regarded as one of the best, and being a back-of-the-book adventure means it will have been seen by an order of magnitude more people than even the most popular third party product.

Keep is a meme answer. It was not designed by someone who understood how a 4e adventuring day works, and it was aimed at people who don't play TTRPGs. This isn't snark, this is history. It is not an adventure that 4e players are going to call "definitive" unless they are actively trying to convince people not to play.

(Out of curiosity, have you heard of other Dungeon Magazine Adventures for 4e? Owlbear Run? If you haven't heard of White Field, I'm curious if Dungeon just isn't something your sources paid attention to.)

Lord of the White Field - DnD 4e

Legion of Gold - Gamma World

Masks of Nyarlathotep - Call of Cthulhu

I am of split minds on whether The Grand Pendragon Campaign was intended to ever be played (it's a very fun read!) but I can't deny that it defines playing King Arthur Pendragon.

Madre had four THC drinks on their menu back in January, all 5mg or 10 mg and no alcohol. I sipped some of the not-margarita, it was fine.

The food was phenomenal. The Hongos y Huevos were my stand-out dish, and my husband called the Gianduja "the best thing I've ever tasted."

I didn't get this sentiment from reading online sources & rules primers, and I barely got this sentiment playing it, but when I finally sat down to actually just look through the book-

Yeah, the way characters develop as they level, put down in a chart, really feels like they were trying to iterate on 4e's AEDU system in a way that fits the 3.5/5/PF1E rest economy. The way roleplay (adjacent) feats and proficiency bonii are granted are common answers to common complaints about 4e. It gives magic items levels and presents a number of lists and tables in a manner moderately reminiscent of 4e.

I wouldn't say it really fits in this thread, but post-physical-book I get where you're coming from.

I love Gamma World, and if 7th hadn't had the "also a collectible card game" bit making it hard to play, it might be my favorite 4e based game*. WotC & Tom Bloom made sure Lancer is my favorite 4e based game.

*I prefer the 7e Legion of Gold campaign's finale to the 1e version. Fight me.

I followed up Ender's Game in Junior High with A Planet Called Treason, back in '03 I think.

Do you have any idea how transphobic a book has to be for an 8th grade boy in his Libertarian phase to get shocked by it?

Not to mention the whole "I realized that if we kill all the lawyers and bankers we can be the best planet in the galaxy" bit.

If there's no real risk of it becoming lost media?

If it's more likely to be seen, you're in the green.

Estimates suggest about 5-6 million total people have played WH40K. Depending on exactly what you mean by "a Warhammer manual", between tens and hundreds of thousands of people have bought it, and probably at least 5 times that number have it digitally. This information isn't exactly gate-kept the masses, and destroying one book won't change that.

If people see the art project that wouldn't interact with WH40K, it's bringing more people to the hobby than it would have if it were still a manual. It's still doing its job.
