So, I passed on the CBC link below to my supervisors at my internship (we support autistic and other non-verbal learning disabled students) and they loved it and want me to run D&D for a group of the students.

I'm debating using the Cantons material since I know it well. It will also speed up the 5e-ification of the Cantons, because that is the edition I'll be using. Any assistance in that and/or working with players in an academic setting would be apprecated.

    You could always run something super classic - like B2! Also this is really good.

    I don't know that it would help at all, but Cole Long made 5th edition versions of all 3 of my main Cantons characters. You are welcome to take a look. Just scroll down a bit, and the 5th ed. versions are tacked on at the bottom.

    How old are the kids? We should talk about gaming in an academic setting.

    They are college age. It's a program that helps kids on the spectrum adjust to college and then transition into adult life on their own.

    Well done, Dennis.

    Also, I think that you should convert the HC to TNE+FFS.

    To that, Robert Parker, I say go choke on a chicken bone.

    C'mon, Dennis, you know that you want to figure out how many sandestins that'll take to make a laser pistol.

    I can make firearms using FFS. Laser weapons break my head.

    My hat's off to you for successfully designing anything in FFS. I stumbled on a cheap copy a while back, but every time I flip through it my eyes glaze over.

    The T4 version is even more incomprehensible.

    From the creators of Mutazoids? Color me shocked.

So we are playing the Feral Shore next week (I really want to commit to getting back going forward in this year with the eventual retirement of Revoca). Here is the recap and update y'all wanted (the linked piece being an updated version of my previous update, make sure to read the stuff here in this post).  Recap The Feral Shore is currently three months behind Revoca in the space/time continuum. Players can take the opportunity now to conduct a week of downtime activity before the session next week. (Some sites in the Weird bend time so I am not going to overworry integrating the two play groups.)  What Happened Last Session and During Downtime: 1. The party killed Milos the creepy hedge wizard of the Deermen in the wooded river basin to your west. Total treasure hauled out (and this was never posted) from furnishings and ancient coins totals 3,100 gold suns and a collection of three filigreed and magically-balanced spent-uranium throwing axes (+1 and an additional 30' of ran...

So with the random murder of the entire badgerman patrol plus plans to commit ethnic cleansing (again) now that negotiations have been utterly torpedoed, I'm starting to feel like we've shifted gears from being inspired by The Eyes of the Overworld to like King Leopold's Ghost or something. And while I can see the dark humor in the entire business, it's really not what I want to stay up late playing through.
