Fair point! Either that, or he had a change of heart sometime between publishing The Hobbit and publishing The Fellowship of the Ring. :P

OH... that's where the geese thing came from! Anyway.

That might have bothered Tolkien as well! That's honestly so effective for worldbuilding. A couple of years ago, I started playing the Shadowrun video games. I had no experience with the RPG (besides listening to the podcast NeoScum). The existance of "soykaf," a coffee substitute, was brutally...

I was a big time reddit user. My account is over 13 years old. The site's been going downhill since at least 2015 for... reasons I could get into, but that might be getting into the weeds. It's a bummer to see the site going down because it'd be more profitable to ruin it. I know it's just a...

So, understanding comes in NOT understanding. Like a koan! :P But really, if it wasn't a specific reference, it's also just the vibe of the board I'll get a handle on. :)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. And in nuTSR's case, absolutely nothing in the middle.

True! I'm surprised there isn't a Profession to represent that kind of background. Still, there are some standby cleric-like spells in the Animism school, even if it doesn't quite work the way a traditional cleric would. A part of me thinks it's weird for clerics to go dungeon crawling in the...

Thanks, all! I'm sure the bit about geese will make sense in due time. :P And I think forums have less of a tendency to implode than other platforms, so I'll be happy to settle in for a good while. :)

I just started getting into camping, and am slowly building out my kit to go backpacking. I just went on a trip to Harriman State Park in New York, which was an absolute disaster. Can't wait to go again. :tongue: I'm still a real amateur. As far as advice goes, I can at least suggest going...

I just pre-ordered the game! It just seemed to do a lot of stuff that I was looking for in a sandbox game. The fact that it's recognizably D&D-like in many ways, but also a class-less, level-less system with a gentler and limited power curve just seemed perfect. Plus the presentation is...

Hello all! I'm here per recommendations from the RPG board on reddit, looking for a new place to go. It's nice being on forums again, since some of my earliest memories online were RPG forums in the early- to mid-00s. :)
