Today we covered my favorite chapters of Fellowship, and I have to tell you: as well as the movie adapts these parts (it does pretty well!) it does not BEGIN to scratch the surface of the emotional heft of the events. Let Gimli take Frodo aside for a moment of quiet mourning!!!!

Wikipedia snippet:

On March 6, 2026, Lycos announced that their services, specifically Angelfire and Tripod, were experiencing temporary outages in a note on their frontpage.[6] Later that day, the message was updated to say "To our users of Angelfire and Tripod. We apologize for the service interruptions. Unfortunately we will be shutting down in the next 30 days. Please move your hosting to another host as soon as possible."[7] The message was removed from the homepage shortly after, without further official statement from the company.[8]

Of the different types of dungeon rooms, "Special" can be one of the hardest to write towards. This list of sub-categories of special rooms has great prompts!

What do we REMEMBER as true?

I had a game where the amount of gold the players were long term searching for was either half a million gp or a million gp. I don't think we ever decided, and no one remembered.

I think there are two more levels to this, though.

Canon can be tentatively established, when the DM fully admits they are only an equal participant. "I don't know. This guy knows and he tells you, but I need to get back to you."
