“Lo que le pasó a la fantasía, en mi opinión, es lo mismo que le pasó al rock and roll. Encontró un denominador común para ganar el máximo dinero. Como resultado, perdió su tensión, su rabia, su transgresión y se convirtió en una taza de chocolate caliente.” Michael Moorcock

I dont have a quantity of followers. I have a quality of followers. I enjoy that.

U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh Some consider this a classic. I don't care for it. Its too ordinary. Lacks the D&D weirdness... feels too much like Scooby Doo and a missed opportunity to be an Innsmouth... I think this where we begin to see "plot" infiltrate the modules

T1 The Village of Hommlet Greatest starting village. Great seeds throughout. It would be 6 years before we got the "sequel" I have probably run Hommlet a dozen or more times. I've never run the Temple of Elemental Evil.

I like boxed text descriptions of each room/encounter in a D&D adventure. I understand that its setting up the puzzle. I like watching the players listen intently for their clues about whats about to happen or how to safely proceed. What to search? Where's the trap?

I am aware he has been canceled but his writings are some of my favorite books. Maybe celebrate the artist that visualized his Snow, Glass, Apples... Amazing work.

In the room are 3 items: a dagger, a shield, and a red cloak. 2 doors. Behind the 1st is an Owl Bear. Behind the 2nd, 2 skeletons. You need to choose 1 of the 2 doors to escape. You're a level 1 scrub. No spells. No equipment. You know which door is which. Plan?

MDNDLDA! Make D&D Level Drain Again.

This reclaimed lumber is how I like my D&D. Refinished, but not erased. Scarred. Weathered. Full of history.

Blue team is trying to save blue team from the problem blue team created for blue team by doing the only thing that creates the problem for blue team.

— The Red and Blue Buttons: Parables of Humanity’s Enduring Sickness and the Persistence of Collectivism — In a simple thought experiment popularized by Tim Urban, participants face a binary choice: press the Red button or the Blue button. The rule is straightforward: if more

My generation learned the hard way to deal with disappointment. We'd rent videos with incredible Vallejo-esque box art: a vast post-apocalyptic hellscape populated with bizarrely-clad warriors and snarling mutants, everything on fire. Then we'd hit play and it was dogshit.
