Am I the only one who assumed "everybody Wang Chung tonight" was a directive to perform a dance called "The Wang Chung" rather than the band just inserting their own name into their song? The name means "yellow bell," the 1st note in the Chinese classical music scale. This post is about an RPG.

I just don't go to DriveThru to find stuff. I'm mostly in the Shadowdark space, so I see what is going on in their Discord, Reddit and other corners of the internet. When I see someone not just marketing their product, but also contributing to the wider community, it means a lot.

Thanks for the offer. However, I find this type of cross promotion to not only be disingenuous, but also ineffective.

I love Shadowdark


I just finished GMing my first session and it was everything I wanted. Fast character creation, easy to remember rules, fun! I've been dming d&d for so long that this was so refreshing! My players said they loved it too and they had fun, they want to continue. I couldn't be more satisfied... But what does the Stupefied condition do?

This would be a reasonable explanation, especially because it is from a campaign that was over a year and a half ago.

Welp, this is a new one for me. I can't say that I've ever seen someone just delete their kickstarter account before, especially before I fulfill their reward.
Email from Kickstarter saying that a backer has deleted their account and that I no longer need to fulfill their reward.

The art for the Spelljammer Astrosphinx is fucking rad.
A black and white drawing of the monster. It's lion-like body is rearing up and exposing its humanoid arms with beefy muscles and dangerous claws. Instead of face poking out from behind its mane is a long, horrid, exposed skull with two horns.A monster entry for the Astrosphinx:

CLIMATE/TERRAIN: Any
FREQUENCY: Rare
ORGANIZATION: Solitary  
ACTIVITY CYCLE: Any
DIET: Carnivore
INTELLIGENCE: Highly (13–14)  
TREASURE: A
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic evil  
NO. APPEARING: 1
ARMOR CLASS: 4
MOVEMENT: 18, Fl 24
HIT DICE: 9
THAC0: 12
NO. OF ATTACKS: 5
DAMAGE/ATTACK: 2d6/2d6/4d6/1d6/1d6
SPECIAL ATTACKS: Chain lightning
SPECIAL DEFENSES: Nil
MAGIC RESISTANCE: 25%
SIZE: L (12' at shoulder)
MORALE: Fanatic (18)
XP VALUE: 6,000  
Astrosphinxes are a malevolent breed of sphinx whose origins are shrouded in mystery. Standing twice as tall as a man, the astrosphinx is covered with brass-colored scales like those of a dragon. A pair of huge black bat wings sprouts from its back. The head resembles a goat skull, with tiny pinpricks of violet light in its eye sockets. The head does in fact have flesh; it is just so pale, and stretched so tightly across the skull, that it seems invisible. Instead of forepaws, the astrosphinx has a pair of large, cleaved human hands. The beast exudes a smell of ozone and offal.
These frightful creations, parodies of true sphinxes, speak the language of all sphinxes and the Common tongue.
Combat: An astrosphinx uses its two goat horns to attack with a head-butt, each horn doing 1d6 damage. It can bite viciously (4d6 damage). Its human hands have large claws that do 1d6 damage each. In rare instances (5% of the time), the creature wields a two-handed sword, sometimes magical.
Though the creature has a draconian body, it cannot use its tail or hind legs in combat. It does, however, breathe a cone of sleep gas 80' long, 4' wide at the beast's mouth and 20' wide at the base. Targets caught in the cone must save vs. breath weapon or fall asleep for 1d6 turns. Victims in wildspace in their own air bubbles remain asleep until the gas is somehow flushed out of the air supply. The astrosphinx can employ this breath weapon once every five rounds.

D&D Unicorn art ranked lowest to highest: 5. 5e - Just kind of plain 4. 4e - too horse-like. At least it's doing something 3. 3e - The mane is just too busy 2. 1e - It's a twofer! I especially like the curved neck and mane 1. 2e - More action than any other, though the horn placement seems low

Doing Unicorn research for ~reasons~ and discovered that in the 1930s, Dr W. Franklin Dove of Maine University created a bovine unicorn by placing the horn nubs of a freshly born calf and implanting them at the center of the forehead. It turns out, the same can be applied to goats...

Another look at old school D&D art vs 5e art. Check out this 2e Sahuagin that is both goofy and pretty sick. I love how much personality the art gives this guy. The 5e art isn't bad, but it just kind of suffers from the glossy sameness that is seemingly the 5e house style.

The 3e Hell Hound art fucking RIPS. Compare to the 5e version, which I feel is pretty bland.

The Japanese word for a "rock, paper, scissors" game is "of the three who are afraid of one another." No notes.
Wikipedia screen grab:

"From China the game was brought to Japan. [19] Throughout Japanese history there are frequent references to sansukumi-ken, meaning ken (fist) games "of the three who are afraid of one another" (i.e. A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A). [19]

The earliest sansukumi-ken in Japan was apparently mushi-ken (), a version imported directly from China. [19)[20l In mushi-ken the "frog" (represented by the thumb) triumphs over the "slug" (represented by the little finger), which, in turn prevails over the "snake" (represented by the index finger), which triumphs over the "frog." "

I so desperately want this Ravenloft TV series to be good! My hope is that it is a limited serie that follows Curse of Strahd. Maybe planned as two, ten-episode seasons with a twelve-episode final season. WotC might not make games that I love, but they still have some really fantastic IP.
