TTRPGs for the win. EVE Online since 2017. Add in a dash of sports for flavour.
Forever DM since 1983 - AD&D 1e. Canadian! 🇨🇦

Finished securing all of the orange spines, but still have not been able to obtain T1-4 at a non-insane price
Would crawl a mile over crushed glass to lay hands on a copy of the T1-4 book at a price that wouldn't require me to remortgage the house.

Call me crazy (many do), but this looks kinda insane. Anyone remember this? How many of my cats would I have to sell to get a copy?

From Dragon 83, March 1984. #DnD #ttrpg

Been loving this game since 2017. I play every day.
Brace yourself, Winter Nexus is coming!

The storms return on 9 December running through the new year to 12 January. The new Perseverance ice mining Destroyer is up for grabs, along with some new challenges and fantastic rewards.

In my unending quest to populate a games room that, to date, exists only in my mind, I've decided I'd like to start putting together hard copies of The One Ring RPG. Do I go with the original Cubicle 7 set (beautiful, expensive) or the current Free League offering? (Also beautiful and expensive)

Dearest family members,

To save you some time searching for a gift for me this Christmas, there isn't a single Free League RPG that I wouldn't shed a few tears of joy upon finding under the tree. Not a single one. Pretty please.

Love, Dad

The Blue Jays signing Dylan Cease is making it very, very hard for certain people to continue pushing their ridiculous narrative that no one wants to play in Toronto. #mlb #bluejays

Got the 12 K's right anyway. Knew he was in for a monster night!

One win to go!

Ladies and gentlemen, I will be picking up this little man on Sunday. He does not yet have a handle. He needs one.

What do you think this little child should be called?

Power doesn’t come from crowns—it comes from courage. Sending strength, solidarity, and safety to the No Kings movement today.

As a new DM in the early days, I really had a hard time understanding why a PC should be awarded experience pts simply for picking a few coins up off the ground. It took me a while to accept the rationale, despite the logic of GP = XP being clearly explained in the DMG.

Hey, if anyone on here happens to be a friend of Steven Erikson, or is actually a Steven Erikson burner account, would be great if you could let him know there's a whole community of us here who would love to see him on here.

So, yeah, thanks in advance.

Re-upping this, if you know of any great Canadian #ttrpg follows (or if you ARE one!), let me know -

Like 80% certain I'm just going to do a box break on these and see if I strike gold on something rare. These sealed boxes are actually decreasing in value at this point, so what do I have to lose, lol?

#fabtcg
Still can't make my mind up - do I keep sitting on these sealed boxes of Flesh & Blood - Monarch (foolish impulse buy - I know, I know... 😏) or open them and see if I can find something cool? They're not doing much, value-wise.

Still working hard on pulling this project together, so any support in the form of ISK or ships/items would earn my everlasting and infinite gratitude. Name in-game is "Tommy Temagami". Thank you!

#EVEOnline #mmorpg
A shot in the dark, but if anyone has an old/dormant EVE Online acct (ie. has no use for their ISK or assets anymore) and would be willing to help, I'd be grateful to hear from you - I am working on a major project and every little bit moves me closer to my goal.

If you can help, please hit me up!

0-for-4 so far in 2025.

Ok, here's my wish list of #ttrpg to buy, learn, and play in 2025 - really hoping I get to try at least a few of these!

Old Gods of Appalachia - @montecookgames.com

Steven Erikson deserves a place alongside Tolkien as the greatest fantasy author of all time.
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

City system for #DnD that I've created for my own campaign and that has been slowly evolving over the past year. My wife watches Sister Wives, which gave me the idea for Evermere's unique system of governance. Strange but true.

Noticing many more listings of AD&D 1e items on eBay that are perfect-bound reprints, not original items. Even more annoyingly, they're usually listed for the same price as the originals.

Beyond the fact that these are a proper pain to filter out, is selling reprints even legal?

Next on the list of targets:

T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil
OP1 Tales of the Outer Planes

It's been great reconnecting with the AD&D 1e material that was such a big part of my life back in the '80s. Working to rebuild the collection I had has been such a nostalgic ride. Pure joy.

Postscript: this stuff is costing me infinitely more than it did in 1985, blergh
I did it! The very last orange spine I needed to rebuild the collection that disappeared from my dorm room in 1988 is now winging its way to me. Feel free to bask in the glow of my boundless happiness.

Now I get to start assembling 1e modules and supplements!

Heading out for Warbler Walk no. 2 of the year - bit cool today, but no wind, so activity will likely be lower but what's there should be easy enough to see. 2025 warbler list to date:

Pine
Palm

I won't be mad with anyone today based on who you vote for, but I will be less than impressed if you choose not to exercise your franchise and sit this one out.

Vote red, blue, orange, green, or that weird off-blue-turquoise thing the BQ is rocking, but dammitall, VOTE! 🍁
