Which one of you was in charge of making sure that I knew that Mike Mignola had published an Elric graphic novel?!?!?!

[Eric Fabiaschi @fabiaschi]

Mike Mignola's artwork for "Elric: The Dreaming Cirty" Issue #1.

@TimothyImholt All the ounces.

Apparently the 17 year old will be playing her senior recital on a piano that is worth $500,000.

No, that is not a type.

Noice!

@dragontimeDM I've never played any of the Mork Borg variations. How do they compare to ShadowDark?

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

@mikemearls I would love to see that, too, and now that Patrick says that it feels right. I played a good bit of 3.5 and enjoyed it. 5e pulled me back from dabbling in Pathfinder.

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

As a 5e(2014) player with D&D roots back to 1980, I think I agree with this. I like a little attrition, but 5e focuses on that too much, with too much “starting power”. I’ve been in games where resting was just like stopping at the gas station to fill up the tank.

[Mike Mearls @mikemearls]

Attrition-based encounter design. 5e assumes you go through 23 rounds of combat per adventuring day. The tension comes from saving your best stuff for late in the game.

@CorpseKings I still own a couple of my original Endless Quest books.

@DieinPlace Pretty sure this is the prologue to a dystopian, post-apocalypse story of some kind or another.

@osgamer74 Let me see if I can find Saint George's phone number.

There a Conan stories in which he does not "win" (does not beat the bad guy), but instead challenges and escapes with his life. I think that's how a Conan vs Cthulhu story would have to go. Conan might find a way to banish Cthulhu, or stop his current machinations, then just barely escape with his life.

@DungeonNoir @AgrivarDragon I don't think he has a YouTube account. I wonder if StartPlaying (the platform he is using) has a PPV feature?

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

One of my best friends is running a workshop on how to run classic Greyhawk in 5e. That's basically what he has done for my gaming group's 9-year running campaign and he has absolutely nailed it. I've played since 1980, many edition, and I have REALLY appreciated the way he has made 5e(2014) feel like classic D&D (yeah, it's still hard for characters to die :-) )

Link in the comments.

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

@DungeonNoir @AgrivarDragon If he gets enough interest in this session I'll talk to him about running it again on another day.

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

@AgrivarDragon @DungeonNoir Awesome! Kyle is an absolutely amazing DM.

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

@TheRedcapsNet Tell us about the good ones. Just tell us the names of the bad ones.

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

You aren’t kidding! He has woven a single, cohesive, exciting campaign that started with B1/B2 and has included Ruins of old Greyhawk, the G series, Expedition to Barrier Peaks, Hand and Eye of Vecna, Castle Amber, Adventures in Blackmoor, Temple of the Frog, City of the Gods and others as well as some awesome extras like Baba Yaga’s Hut and Labyrinth of Madness. I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of others. While doing this he has managed to weave in a personal “end goal” arc for each character.

@shapesandlines Why do we do these things to ourselves?

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

That time I ran the Warrior's Dash with a foam sword and shield.

[ThatSteveGuy @ThatSteveGuy]

Upon further review, I have an axe, not a sword. My wife is just out of frame. She has the sword.
