@GrampsToolshed Playing in a screened-in garage, lawnmower, running in the yard. Player misunderstood my “tomb full of ghouls” as a “room full of girls,” and acted accordingly…

@BlackDumpling I literally laughed out loud, probably because it’s when I realized that they’d taken Star Trek away from me, when I found out that Lorca was from the mirror universe. He was their idea of evil.

BLACK DUMPLING™@BlackDumpling·
STAR TREK: The great tragedy of Discovery is knowing that this single character could've carried the entire show through several seasons at least. If he were an "evil" Picard but extraordinarily sly about it, where the audience knew he was a malevolent actor but the crew being wholly unawares. And that going on for years as we watch his schemes unfold and see that he's both ruthlessly competent but fiercely devoted to humanity. A kind of In the Pale Moonlight as a series long arc. It'd be difficult to pull off and it's clear none of the Discovery writers had the chops... but I'm telling you a seed was there.

"I'm standing on the shoulders of giants." "I love our past and where we came from, and I want to make sure we're honoring and bringing as much of that back as we can." -Dan Ayoub, New Head of D&D at WOTC, Gary Con 2026 If this is true @Danayoub, then I can safely say that I speak for the vast majority of longtime fans of not just the original versions of the game, but also the original authors (Gygax, Arneson, Kuntz, et al), in that I was absolutely disgusted by the vile and patently untrue accusations made by Jon Peterson and Jason Tondro against those who wrote and played the earlier editions in the opening Forewords of the "Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons" book. The fact that they literally trashed the very creators and contents that the book *was supposed to be celebrating* was one of the worst decisions that WOTC ever allowed. Please consider recalling all unsold copies and completely scrubbing the names of Peterson and Tondro from the book, replace their libelous text with a proper and respectful introduction, and re-release it. Oh and please make sure that the "problematic" Gods, Demi-Gods, and Heroes is properly added as well since that was a glaring and totally uncalled for omission. Then commission Jeff Easley to paint ALL NEW covers for each and every "orange spine" AD&D hardcover (PLUS Fiend Folio which never got the orange spine treatment) and re-release them with premium stitching and minus the typos of the earlier print on demand scans. THAT would be awesome, and combined with a corrected "Making of" book would be huge steps in the right direction.

@MansplainStuff @amazinggamepro My mom got caught up in the satanic panic, and then we saw this movie and it was so ridiculous, she realized she was being had. Within a couple months I was a first level fighter with a battle ax and banded mail.

@KevinLamb74 I picked this up from Hobby Center a few days before my very first D&D game in 1982. I was gonna cram and beat all the monsters.

@KevinLamb74 I had four wannabe Colberts at my D&D table before the lockdowns. Had. Trust me, you don’t want guys like that anywhere near fantasy fiction.

@DerfDeLear @amazinggamepro We started it, we made it a hit. We shouldn’t have to put TT in front of “role-playing game.” They should have to put V for video.

@amazinggamepro @MrEricWalls I'm guessing that back when he (and when I) started. There was no need for the "TT" to be there, since the lame video game RPGs didn't exist yet.

@gggirl924 Summer ‘87, paid $4/hr to fix picnic shelter. Boss hands us can of rusty nails & says straighten them all day on concrete. I point out: new nails cost way less than my time. He snaps: “You just don’t want to work.” Classic Depression-era mindset—penny-wise, pound-foolish

My grandparents and parents never threw anything out. I can remember straightening nails with my grandfather. My mother would get several uses out of a piece of aluminum foil. Were your grandparents and parents the same way? What do you remember them doing?
