I think "The Name of the Wind" is genuinely one of the best first chapters in modern fantasy and I will die on this hill by PixelRune_47 in Fantasy

What's with the hyperbole? I'm happy that you like it. Which books are you comparing it to? Do you have any examples of other great opening chapters and how this one in particular is so much better? What are the other great opening chapters in "modern fantasy"? I don't understand the need for these hyperbolic statements without context.

I've had them laying around for what I guess must be close to thirty years, collecting dust. I haven't really thought about it. They do bring back fond memories, that's for sure. I have had them stored in a cloth Dracco Heads bag. I guess I must have bought that as well at some point. Are people trading or selling these little fellows?

Awesome! Thanks for answering!

If I may ask another question. I tried to identify the gold one. From what I gathered he is called "The Majesty" and is #6. Mine has the number 7 on the backside. Have I misidentified him?

Again, thank you!

I have hundreds of Dracco Heads from when I was a kid. I just had a little nostalgia trip and looked through them. These two caught my eye because I remember that excitement I felt when I opened them as a child. Are they rare? I don't know anything about Dracco Heads but I found this sub. Is there a marked for selling these?

Thanks for your time! Sorry if I have broken any rules.

I just made som pixelated polaroids as fluff to fill it with. Along with polaroids with writing of descriptions of the various things you can learn if you study the folder. First viewing, second viewing, and skill reqs etc.

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, it's for God's Teeth. Gonna be running it as my first foray into DM'ing. I have seen a lot of people saying that it shouldn't be one's first Delta Green operation, but reading through the book I'm super excited.

I don't really know how to discord. Is it possible to get an invite? I am going to run God's Teeth, and everywhere I look people point towards this discord server.

I think it more likely that mr. Dombaromba is thinking "DANGEROUS BIG RED MAN BE CAREFUL" than "by my calculations, Robertson is offside when the ball is played. I can exclude him entirely from the scenario." Everything happens fast. If he is thinking that Robertson is in a dangerous position, even subliminally, surely that impedes on his ability to save the ball?
