Picture Monday: This is something you wouldn't have seen 30 years ago - D&D has become ubiquitous again and often replaced the regional fantasy RPGs. Because this picture could have been taken anywhere (it's in fact a picture I took earlier this year in Antwerpen, Belgium).

Picture Monday: This might just look like a German translation of a Werwolf 5E sourcebook, but I want to point out that "storyteller" is in the feminine form here. We discuss the issue of gendered nouns and pronouns in many episodes, especially for translations.
