    I first started about a year ago with D&D 5e, but migrated to Storytelling via Classic World of Darkness (cWOD) and the Vampire: The Masquerade setting, v20 to be specific. While D&D was okay, I'm absolutely loving everything about this, as both a player when I first dabbled, and now as a storyteller running his own campaigns. Character progression in cWOD tends to be limited only by what your storyteller will allow, as you can more or less learn anything given enough time.

    Merry Christmas to you all! May you find great cheer with your families if you celebrate it! For those who do not, however, have a wonderful day regardless as we close out the year!

    I've been partial to the rather earthy "Tildoes" for a few months now. I never fail to grin at it! :D

    Sum of All Fears is great! It paints a terrifying geopolitical picture that's still accurate today, albeit without the Soviet Union.

    You might be right! It's been a few years since I heard this, but considering the subject matter in Sum of All Fears.. I'd believe it there, too.
