The latest additions to my #DnD collection. The slave series, A1-A4. I managed to get them for around $17 each, and they are in excellent condition. Has anyone played through all four?

When I started collecting #TTRPG miniatures in the 1980s, we were all clear on two things: A 25mm mini was supposed to be 25mm *tall* but most miniatures were actually a little taller than that.
We accepted this.
So that's where we in the 1980s. Most #TTRPG gamers used 25mm #miniatures which were really 27-28mm miniatures, and life was fine, because who were we to argue with the nice old man who invented 25mm miniatures?
Jack Scruby died in 1988.
I have a sizable collection of 1970s-1990s #TTRPG magazines, so I checked if any of them acknowledged the shift. Nothing there.
Then I remembered: I bought a box full of "The Courier" (a magazine of historical #miniatures gaming) about 20 years back!
https://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=The_Courier
So, in semi-conclusion: The two most important names in the history of #miniatures scales are Jack Scruby and Toby Barrett, no #TTRPG players (and few young #wargamers) know that, and anybody who tells you miniatures scales are easy and logical is lying to you.
I said "semi-conclusion" because there are details I still need to nitpick!

And this is why I love ocean adventures as Referee, and would NEVER get on a boat, EVER, as a PC.

Apart from Skyrealms of Jorune and Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved/Unearthed, what's the most Roger Dean #ttrpg you're aware of?

> From this it's clear it will include the entirety of 2nd Edition Chainmail, the "Guidon D&D" draft, the first printing of the LBBs (complete with the Tolkien references) and the first three supplements, among much other correspondence and magazine articles. It's a long interview (38+ minutes) but well worth the time spent watching it.

was again thinking about playing Traveller (MgT 1st) or Cepheus Engine soon.
Cepheus Engine has the benefit of being available for free, in files that can be modified. On the other hand MgT has the life events in it's careers, which I always enjoyed for creating a fully fleshed out character.
they are otherwise pretty similar to each other, although I guess the way CE makes characters gives slightly less skilled characters. Hmmmm...

Traveler's notebook for my #dungeonmaster notes is finished! The leather I got a loooooong time ago gave me some trouble. If I hadn't have that one lying here in my stash, I'd have opted for some vegan alternative for sure, most likely some plant based material. Not only that's the more animal friendly way to go, it's also much less trouble to work with.
(Photos show the journal, made from sturdy dark brown leather with gold eyelets and red elastics.)
I made a quick how-to guide to adding a field to a PDF character sheet, so a user can import images.
Players can import their own character portraits.

Over on his Other Side blog, Timothy Brennan has been reviewing each of the versions of the #TravellerRPG
All quite worth reading, but his latest is about the complex and strange Traveller 5 - one of the most curious #ttrpg books ever printed, imho.

It's probably just nostalgia talking, but despite all the advances in #TTRPG graphic design over the years, I've never seen hex maps I liked more then the old Judge's Guild wilderness hex maps.
Brown ink on textured brown paper. There were GM and players versions, both in lovely fold-out four page maps.
A really nice fan version of Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age. Available in high-res versions
