O Lolth, you are so big. So absolutely huge. Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you. Forgive us, O Lolth, for this, our dreadful toadying and barefaced flattery. (George Barr, AD&D adventure GDQ1-7 Queen of the Spiders, TSR, 1986, revisiting a scene first seen in module D3: Vault of the Drow)
Saney, what do you think, Tom has come back completely and will no longer disappear as before??
Mostly? I don’t think he’ll fully disappear as he did, but it will be a scaled back presence. He will, of course, be mostly posting stuff about his work - like the backstage photo last night. I doubt we’ll get holiday snaps.
Of course, if there’s not much to post about, he’ll be quieter (it may be more quiet when he’s working on the Loki series, as there will be secrecy surrounding it). And it seems like IG is his primary platform, followed by Twitter, with FB last. IG is of course editable, there isn’t a character limit, and you can delete or shut down comments if you want.
That’s just a guess, of course. I’m prepared to be surprised.
And now, for @mottlemoth, an Englishman on a horse!
When your D&D character stumbles into a star war
I wish to register a complaint.
Encounter: 10 zombie pirates and an ex-parrot (Tim Sell illustration from Mike Brunton's AD&D adventure "The Great Paladin Hunt," Imagine 26, TSR UK, May 1985)
This was the GamesFair '85 AD&D Team Competition Module. It combines two classic D&D themes: the party are prisoners trying to escape without most of their gear, plus silly humorous references. Before walking into Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch, they can meet Orbil and Wilva, wights, who crash their flying contraption.
Could do worse though
Tim Kirk’s box art for the first printings of Greg Costikyan’s Swords & Sorcery, SPI, 1978. The game was known for its use of puns and in-jokes for the names of many of its characters, locations, and spells — including “Tim the Enchanter” and “Gygax Dragonlord” seen on the cover. Some characters like Loki Hellsson and X the Unknown are mentioned in Ares 5 and SPI’s 1980 Citadel of Blood, and Linfalas with his pi logo also appeared in some art from that game.
