Re: The thread for happiness/spreading your joy
3 years ago my wife lost her engagement/wedding ring. She thought putting it on the floor while cleaning the shelf was a good idea. Right when I was vacuuming. We spent weeks looking for it and had deduced that it was picked up by the vacuum and was long gone in some trash dump.
Fast forward 3 years and our son found it 2 days ago! No idea where he picked it up. Picture coming later.
*edit*
Here it is!

Release Infinity Engine Open Source. please!
I want to make an official request for this. IE is one of the most amazing things to happen to rpgs and the most amazing thing to happen to AD&D. It's letting it go to waste not letting the community continue its development and allow for the creation of new adventures, with no Beamdog resources spent. If you guys are going to make games like Axis and Allies, please let us have the engine. I did make a thread about it before, but it was in the wrong section, and this is REALLY IMPORTANT.
Re: All you wanted to know about the next Beamdog's project
Maybe Beamdog could consider to make an Icewind Dale III? That would be something to look forward to!

Re: The Politics Thread
I remember reading a Churchill biography lately, and it recounts him being violently attacked by a (male) suffragette once and other member harassing and disturbing his election campaign speeches more than once. If you google suffragette and violence you find a lot of additional examples - though to be fair, I looked mostly at the UK here.

Today was the first time I encountered British skeletons. You can tell they are British because they formed an orderly queue before attacking Jaheira.
Re: Unpopular opinions
Totally popular opinion: Forgotten Realms needs to be purged for violating historical events, records and mythologies. The gorgon sisters already filed a lawsuit, for the D&D cow monster known gorgon inflicts them with inmesurable psychological pain. Not to mentioning the harassment they receive when other entities from ancient Greek call them bovinae themed slurs.

Corethief XXVIII and his friend Yoshimo - FINAL update!
Well, we had laid a full set of traps for Thaxxy, and it did get him to near death, however Thaxxy didn't die first - Corethief XXVIII died 1st to level drains. We couldn't quite finish Thaxxy off. Back to the drawing board!

Re: "Maybe this time" [NO-RELOAD THREAD]: "The Tale of ONE MILLION visions"
Wyrme checks her list.
Escaped from the chateau. Yep
Caught out by Del. Nope, snares got the better of her
Tanova. Not encountered her
Rayic Gethras and his golems. Dealt with more carefully this time
Gaius. A backstab sorted him out and his buddies fell to snares and backstabs
A host of other delights. Wyrme has acquired her own thieving stronghold and liberated the ring of Gaxx for her own use. One oil of speed was used to finish off Del's minions, and a second used to kill the sea troll underneath the temple district.
The extra speed certainly helps so Wyrme heads into the Planar Prison in search of hasted boots. She might just have managed it if she hadn't tried to backstab the mage nearest to her. Enemy true sight conspires to keep her visible and she is unable to defeat Aawill and co.
(I checked a couple more times and fleeing north or east of the party makes for an escape where a bounty hunter can come out on top)
Wyrme chats with Winthrop, taking a small break as another character leaves town instead.
---
Claude the shapeshifter got as far as wishing he didn't run into Lamahla and the amazons. One of his two woodland beings became confused while Claude got himself held in melee instead of standing back to cast spells. He had the greenstone amulet by this time but was only really considering use of it against the trapped tome container in Durlag's Tower.

Another day or so later Wyrme puts her tankard down and picks up her gear for another attempt.

Re: The Politics Thread
As no-one else has posted about it, I'll mention the normalization of relations between Israel and Bahrain/UAE. I think this has a lot to do with ganging up on Iran, but overall I still welcome it.
While I'm clearly not a supporter of Trump overall, I think his willingness to try new approaches in foreign policy (as with North Korea) can be a good thing. There's been no sign for many years now that a comprehensive settlement between Israel and the Palestinians is possible, so I think it is worthwhile to try radically different tactics. Those may of course not work. However, there does appear to be a new potential path to peace if Israel does not continue with its proposed annexation of territory and program of extending settlements (as they have apparently promised as part of the deal). If normalizing relations between Gulf States and Israel shows clear benefits to both sides over time it does seem possible that many Palestinians would wish to get their own share of available benefits.
I’ll bite.
What the hell did Trump sign when the other three nations signed the agreement?
Besides hosting, I can’t find any commitments that the U.S. is making in regards to this agreement.
~
That said, and I said this previously when this was first announced, I do not trust any of the players sitting at this table to keep their word.
This is all about a single nation, Iran, and their enemies coming together much like in WW2 when the Allies teamed up with Russia to defeat the Nazis. Once the threat is gone, this time Iran, I would not be surprised if hostilities between Israel and the rest of the Middle East flourish, especially if they continue to bomb the Gaza Strip, or worse continue spreading their settlements breaking their agreement.
Much like US/NK summits, this is still wait and see and it’s significance is greatly overblown until all parties prove that it isn’t.
