It would be nice if people came out strong against how those data centers were approved in the first place. Local govt is often corrupt and moves things into our neighborhoods we dont want all the time. Case in point: the big wedding venue behind my house making the area inhospitable

#ADnD day today. Will my players make progress through B1: In Search of the Unknown? Or will a random encounter kill them off again? (Troglodytes are no joke!)

I was on the upper floor of a small used bookstore today when I heard someone shout "SHE'S MY MOTHER'S SISTER'S GIRL." Me the other three people in the place laughed because the odds of bookworms also being fans of Twin Peaks are pretty high

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 30 Star Wars D6 2e Revised and Expanded This is the version most people like. I admit, I don't mind it at all! I still prefer the other character sheets, though. Here's Rugro, Gamorrean Bounty Hunter. This template was modified to fit the big green guys

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 29 Star Wars D6, 2nd Edition There isn't as much love for this one as for the revised 2e, but I like this character sheet the most. I'm sure I played this version of the game more than any others, too. Here's Iver Sor, cyborged pirate

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 28 D6 Star Wars 1st Edition So much of this game influenced all the Star Wars things today I'm happy that they still keep the "Expanded Universe" alive through "Legends" because it's more canon to me than whatever Disney has done Meet Sere Fasus, Failed Jedi

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 27 Tales from the Floating Vagabond One of the best times you can spend playing rpgs drunk I haven't yet picked up the second edition, but I plan on it. The creator passed away just as it was finished and didn't get to see 2e in print Here's my OC Jett Engine!

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 26 Everway This is one of the first things WotC published, and it never reallly took off. Diceless, using cards instead, but with no real randomized results. I thought it was weird they didn't put numbers on the cards SAGA kinda fixed it Anyway, this is Wolfheart

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 24 Werewolf: The Apocalypse 2e This is the game I spent most of my time playing in the 90s. I spent a LOT of time in the old rpg chatrooms on WBS, particularly the WoD chat. Today's character was designed after my dog, Gunner Lupus Philodox Bone Gnawer

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 22 Gamma World, 3rd Edition This was by far the most disorganized character creation I've ever been through. They had to include a rules supplement just before printing because they rushed it and forgot to include some rules! Well, it still looks fun Here's 3x4

#characterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 19 Ravenloft: Masque of the Red Death A true AD&D 2e variant, not just a setting. 1890s horror, more aligned with the old Hammer films than Cthulhu stuff. Right in my sweet spot. This is the mystic, Lucious Chapman

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 18 AD&D 2e This is the D&D I spent the most time playing, and is probably my favorite. Good balance between dungeon crawling, simulation, and storytelling. Don't come at me. THAC0 was great! Introducing Eryll Blisset, half-elf Thief/Mage (Forgot his AC 10)

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 17 AD&D 1st Edition I used a custom character sheet for this one. I never really liked any of the 1e sheets I used in the past, and this is the sheet I'm currently using for my home game. Here is Kozzer the human fighter

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 16 Good ol' Basic D&D The #OSR stuff usually falls flat with me. It never quite scratches the itch that old games do, and they never feel innovative. Give me the classics any day. Here's a thief I named Wynnstan.

Somehow, I've still kept up with #CharacterCreationChallenge 2026! Day 15's character is from Palladium's Ninjas and Superspies (Revised). I made a Dedicated Martial Artist OCC because that meant I had fewer skills and equipment to dig through. Here's Feng Xiaoshen

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2026 Day 13 Monster of the Week I played this once, and had a good time at first. We found out right away that you NEED to make a specific campaign style before randomly generating characters, or things quickly go off the rails. Anyway, here's Lloyd Finch, The Snoop

#CharacterCreationChallenge Day 9 Twilight: 2000, 4th Edition Captain Shepherd, American Army Ranger Officer I like this edition, but the crunch of the older g ame always felt like it was a hefty, gritty real-life combat game. This one does run a lot faster, though.
