This book sounds absolutely fascinating. I love weird obscure, hobby history. It’s why I really miss the history segments of The Great British Bake Off (even though some people apparently found them boring?). I’ll definitely have to add it to my list of books to get.

I used to love this comic! Is still going?

I was going to guess Rifts because I’ve heard crazy things about their setting, too.

There’s a YouTube channel that focuses on how to make cool atmospheric D&D environments like this. I think it’s called AtmosSeeker? They’re smaller than I think they should be.

That’s so cool!

This is amazing. I’d love to see this. Probably wouldn’t pay, but I’d clap vigorously afterwards.

Thanks for that suggestion! I’ll try to find it, too. Maybe that will help it click for me, too.

Surprisingly perhaps, I’ve never heard anything but good things about him. But then I’ve never actually looked into his personality or life, just his contributions to D&D.

You can probably ask the admin of this instance to give you modding permissions over this community.

I don’t think it sounds stupid at all. PBTA requires a shift in how you think of rpg’s unless you started with that system. I’ve always been told that, and it seems to be true. I’m still kind of wrapping my head around it, myself. I’ve always loved the idea of it, even if I haven’t gotten it down yet, though. I bought Dungeon World, Blades in the Dark, Monster Hearts, and the Avatar rpg Kickstarter with all the extras. I wonder if I need someone else to DM me with other players around who can play it right before I can DM others, because I don’t feel like I’ve quite gotten it down despite all that lol.

Ah gotcha. Thanks!

Wasn’t there already a moviesandtv community on lemm.ee? I just posted there recently. Maybe I should’ve posted to this other one if it’s more active or something.

So that’s what happened to it. Well that’s sad =(

Good idea to lower expectations

That is hilarious. I can imagine it with perfect clarity lol

I haven’t seen these posts, either. But I have to ask, are you this person?

I love it!

Don’t we need more actual historians first?

By that logic, the NY Times should be banned as a source. They’re opinion section is chocked full of basically the pro US point of view and defending Israel (including a memo advocating genocide denial). One-sided coverage, poorly sourced, nakedly biased, it all applies to them, too.

Allowing sources from all points of view, as long as the facts are true, seems better than picking and choosing due to bias. Even these “centrist” institutions have their own biases.

The downside of the fediverse =(
