@TerryDodsonArt @HamillHimself @strathmoreart @winsorandnewton @Marvel @starwars @HeatherAntos @cracksh0t I'm still old school pencil and ink on paper. There's something drawing on paper that feels better than digitally (I work on the computer all day at work).

@BigBadMailey @rasmiez @guyfelicella Switzterland has given CHF 6.08 billion (C$10.5 billion) to Ukraine in financial aid. eda.admin.ch/en/support-of-…

@rasmiez @guyfelicella We need to be like Switzerland.

OMG people… Universal healthcare is for CANADIANS. Not tourists, not visitors, and not Americans passing through. Sorry your country won’t take care of you, but that’s not on us.

@guyfelicella He doesn't know what travel insurance is for? Besides, isn't $1000 still cheaper than what he would pay in the US?

Some people use the Force… 🤨 I prefer a well-timed toast and a five-year mission. 🥂 May the Fourth be with you… if you must but let’s be honest; I’ve been boldly going since before it was cool. 😉🚀

@Nerdcognito I've never met a person who actually rolled a 1E bard...

As it should be. (Did any of you out there authentically roll and play an OG bard?)

@DoctorLemma There's a musical about it too! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_from…

Just found out that on 9/11, when the United States shut its airspace, 38 planes got diverted to a tiny town in Atlantic Canada called Gander, Newfoundland. The town’s population at the time was around 10,000 people. Overnight, 6,700 strangers arrived. The population nearly doubled in a few hours. Apparently the town just opened up. Schools, churches, and community halls were turned into sleeping areas. Bus drivers who had been on strike came off the picket lines to shuttle passengers. Pharmacies filled prescriptions for free. The ice rink at the community centre became a giant fridge because there was so much donated food. People invited strangers into their homes for showers, meals, and a bed. The passengers were only there for four days. Twenty-five years later, many of them are still in touch with their Newfoundland hosts. One flight raised money for a scholarship fund for kids in Gander. It started at 15,000 US dollars and has since paid out over a million dollars to local students. A musical was made about it called Come From Away. It ran on Broadway for five years. When a reporter asked one of the Newfoundland women why they did it, she said, “You don’t turn your back on people in need.”

@YoDanno To the Phlogiston and Crystal Spheres which WotC removed from the 5E Spelljammer (I ignored WotC's exclusions at my table).

So where do you want to take the Spelljammer today, Captain? Greyspace? Realmspace? What about Krynnspace?

@Executionotron @BrianNiemeier A lot of artists took photos of models as reference for their work. Larry Elmore had TSR legend Keith Parkinson pose, along with Larry’s wife Betty and daughter Jennifer as models for his "Two For the Road", the cover for the City System boxed set.

@BrianNiemeier A lot of the latter AD&D core books' interior art looked like someone was tracing photos of their buddies at the renfair, but that cover art was iconic.

D&D art used to be a doorway to adventure. Now it's a mirror to the player.

@WarMonitor3 First thought... (from the Battlefield game)

Incredible footage of Ukrainian soldiers using a rifle to shoot Iranian Shahed 136 drones out the sky aboard a Soviet era Yak-52 training aircraft. Insanity…

@Blackmoor_Film Yup, this is why I stopped buying 5E books and instead spend a couple thousand dollars buying older edition books (BECMI, 1E, 2E, and 3E) from eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Not a single cent went to WotC! I still use 5E for my players but I just convert older stuff to 5E.

I was pondering this last night and wondering if I even care. For me, it is a waste of time to be outraged. I do not have a horse in this race. Ask yourself: Do I even buy anything WOTC makes? Just keep gaming with your friends and having fun. Remember: "I consider those people (the older gamers who still comprise half the D&D market) not worth listening to." - Jason Tondro We did listen. We were told to shove off. We cheerily moved on.

choose your fighter

@KevinLamb74 @dorsonkieffer And they expect us older gamers to come back and buy their stuff out of nostalgia?

Good news, Greyhawk fans! In a new D&D Beyond update, The Inn of the Welcome Wench from The Village of Hommlet has just been renamed "The Inn of the Paladin Prince." Your favorite campaign setting, now X-card approved. Game on! 🤡 Credit to @dorsonkieffer for the find.

@KevinLamb74 @dorsonkieffer I'm surprised they used "prince" since it's a gendered title of nobility...

@skepticalone44 @fandompulse Yup! After OGL scandal and WotC telling us older gamers they don't want us I spent a couple thousand dollars buying older edition books from eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Not a single cent went to WotC!

@fandompulse Older players have more disposable income. And they have about 10 years to get our money before we die or are gaming in the old folks home. It likely won’t work. Table top RPGs will largely die with Gen X

Designer Jason Tondro wrote in print last year that longtime D&D fans were "not worth listening to." Now WotC has renamed its Greyhawk supplement to The Shield Lands, and actor Vince Vaughn personally gifted the cover art to Luke Gygax at GaryCon. One year of fan pressure produced a visible course correction. Is this a real change in direction or just damage control?

조심하자. 우린 대통령 탄핵 전문임.

@dosukoibombers It wasn't Japanese exclusive as there were stuff influenced by Chinese culture and folklore as well. The 3E Oriental Adventures was very Japanese centric since it used the Legends of the Five Rings IP. The Forgotten Realms version is the Kara-Tur campaign setting.

AD&Dってこんな和物あったのね。 AD&D一度も触れた事ないけど🐤

@TheMG3D It's a good thing I'm an atheist...

How do you defend this?

@TheMG3D I would like to meet the non-rich who use the government to control you...

Imagine simping for the rich

@Nerdcognito They're finally catching on that the older gamers have much more disposable income to buy D&D stuff than younger generations. After WotC insulted me I stopped buying 5E books and spent a few thousand dollars buying BECMI, 1E, 2E, 3E books from eBay (not one cent went to WotC!)

Original 1979 AD&D coloring album art just sold for $57,500 dollars. Vintage classic D&D pieces hitting insane prices draws WotC & Hasbro eyes, telegraphing their recent moves trying to appease us. More proof the hobby yearns to return to its roots. Agree or disagree? Why?

@esanzi In Asian homes you take your shoes off because they're DIRTY! People would wear slippers after taking off their shoes (we offer guests slippers).

Hosting an event or a party at your home and requiring that guests remove their shoes when they arrive is rude. And weird. And reveals an irrational concern over dirt and germs. If you insist on doing this, make sure the invitation includes a warning!

@CorpseKings Orcs.

What's a cool name for a Race of Hearty Pig Men? 🐷
