Here's one for that distantly related Canadians south of the border:
OTTAWA β First Nations leaders unveiled today five items repatriated to their communities after being at the Vatican for more than a century, and unboxed another two crates of items with origins that have yet to be determined.
In 1983 Gary Gygax wrote 2 unusual AD&D modules: Dungeonland & The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror.
They look like Alice in Wonderland adventures, but they reveal a lot about how he designed his Castle Greyhawk campaign.

Which is to say, Iβm unbelievably thrilled to say this morning Iβve signed a contract with @mitpress.bsky.social for the trade publication of my next book, an exploration of the first two decades of TTRPG Actual Play.
The rules are at their best when they're like the pirate code, more like guidelines.
May you have a long rest and advantage on your Constitution checks/saves
This is the most reassuring statement Iβve seen re: D&D and AI, mostly bc Chris Cocks is exalting it the rest of the piece: βThere are some brands that the audience, the creators, just donβt want it, so we donβt even have it in our pipelines for our video games or for Magic: The Gathering, or D&D.β

If you demand that bard players be able to sing or play, then you'd better also be demanding your Barbarians kick down the door on their way into the session π€

Had my first experience playing 1e D&D tonight. 100% theatre of the mind and the players seemed to be heavily engaged. I am playing a half-orc fighter who is the strong and silent type. Went from 13 hp to 3 hp in a zombie attack. Amazed at the amount of detail in the DMs descriptions!
The Aurora Tree: Pictured is a visual coincidence between the dark branches of a nearby tree and bright glow of a distant aurora. The beauty of the auroraβcombined with how it seemed to mimic a tree right nearbyβmesmerized the photographer to such a degree that he momentarily forgot to take pictures
Today, I am running two sessions of 5e, interviewing a drummer, and playing as a half-orc fighter in my first 1e game!
That and happy international women's day to all the lady gamers out there!
Letβs settle this: Do you put your dice in "dice jail" when they roll badly, or do you believe in redemption arcs? I have a specific D20 currently serving a life sentence for rolling three nat 1s in a row. #DND #TTRPG #DiceGoblin #TabletopGaming #GeekLife

Greetings, travellers and well met!
I am currently DMing an AD&D campaign and looking to pick up a couple of players.
Gauging interest for an inclusive take on the old rules.
Haters need not apply.
Positive vibes will get the details for an interview and the safety tools.

D&D time! Who's a werewolf? How many undead are in a necropolis? Will the heroes get the Thing?
All this and more!
I may be interested depending on when it runs and how. Feel free to send me a message for more info.
"Instead of respecting my inalienable right to be debated, they justβ¦ blocked me. Like Iβm some kind of annoyance, rather than the iconoclastic and fascinating truth-teller which I know myself to be."
Waiting for D&D to start and looking forward to the warm (albeit wet) weather arriving this weekend.
