Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 62853, member: 3864"] Excellent title and even better cover image, random notes! [LIST] [*]Your article on TTRPG history is one of my favorite things on here, and it's crazy the amount of influence those original war games had. [*]Damn, you brought the bill's government name into this, like a scolding parent. [*]"What are you saying, armor class zer-Police! Anybody!" [*]Wait, TSR stands for Tactical Studies Rules? I must have read my Dragonlance compilation novel a million times and I never thought to look it up, I always assumed each letter was some fantasy nonsense, like Treant Sorcerer Repository. [*]I love how the dragon has wings like the Sphinx. [*]Sweet Christmas, but the Beautiful Witch has a smaller waistline than the brim of her hat. (Also, I appreciate tasteful mosaic, but can you tell me if the amazon *at least* has only one breast? [*]Maybe Nazgul means The Scarlet Pimpernel wherever Gary Gygax is from. (Also, this is so minor but I love the character, Zorro has two r's, otherwise he's the One Piece character.) [*]Ah, I love that AD&D cover, it reminds me of the cult of Moloch, from Cabiria. It's a 1914(!) movie where cultists throw children into a statue of their dark god, which is an actual practical effect they perform on screen. They just built the whole dark temple. (Fun fact, also the first narrative movie screened at the White House, a year before Birth of a Nation.) [/LIST] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="403px" alt="1738616201916.png"]21112[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [LIST] [*]Most of a wizards power is derived from how many stars are sewn onto their clothes, and they guard their tailors like a dragon's hoard. [*]This is an intimidating number of rule book revisions. I'm extremely impressed how digestible you've made all this. [/LIST] I enjoy all your articles and reviews, but you *really* nailed this one, holy shit. It's an approachable look at a sometimes-arcane subject, informative but you maintain your voice throughout without sounding like a Wikipedia article, and you work the jokes in seamlessly. (Especially the opening section.) Sorry if that's coming off like a substitute teacher grading a paper, I just mean to say you do great work and it makes me want to improve my own each time I read it. [/QUOTE]
