Looks like they touched on Candace Owens April 2025 -

Not sure if I was listening yet back then. Still, it was only obliquely. I think after the loss of Charlie Kirk her status within the Grift-o-verse has reached nigh on, or even dare I say past, Weinsteinien levels.

From proifteering to conspiratory thinking to indignation to griftiness to revolutionary theories, I think she'd score highly enough to rate, no?

What say you, fellow decoder rings?

I'm an old school d&d player. I played a medium bit of D&D and read a lot. Yes, novels, rules, campaign settings, and modules. Lots and lots of modules - little adventures from 32 pages to 128 pages with maps and planned encounters.

I recently got 5E. Besides the starter sets ... where are the modules? They used to have a code like "B2" and tell you what they are: An introductory adventure for level 1-3 characters, and mid-level adventure for characters level 5-9 etc. I like physical books.

I see the starter packs. Heroes of the borderlands is pretty cool. My characters will leave the borderlands level 3, level 4 TOPS. I do not think they are ready to descend into avernas, I don't need a book with Tiamat, Vencna, or Strahd on the cover. And I sure don't want to pay $14.99 for three online, digital one-shot adventures ( https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/adventures/M9C2LVQ?pid=DBM9C2LVQ )

A little secret of TSR is that they sold a LOT of modules, and most modules were not played, they were read. I'm sure I could get a better feel for D&D 5.5 if there were official WOTC adventures for me to read.

Where are the official modules? It seems odd. I checked my look bookstore and my local big-box retail bookstore. Some 3rd party stuff, but the WOTC stuff was like ... a cookbook. A deck of cookbook things. A backstory deck. A bunch of accessory-like things. A few campaign-setting things that tie into Forgotten Realms and BG3 No, like, MODULES. Has the time for that come and gone?
