About bugleyman
I've been playing D&D since '82 (I got Moldvay Basic for my 10th birthday) and DMing in earnest since '90. I drifted away to other systems in the mid-nineties until D&D 3E brought me back in 2000. The Paizo era of Dungeon magazine was a golden age, but alas, one that came to an end with the release of 4E (a system I greatly enjoyed...until WotC drove it into a ditch). I then played Pathfinder 1E for several years until the system got too bloated for my tastes.
More recently I've been playing D&D 5E (though less of that since the OGL fiasco), Pathfinder 2E, Dragonbane, a little DCC, and various iterations of Cypher. I'd love to try Vaesen next. Unfortunately, my memory isn't what it once was, so new systems come more slowly...

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
― Isaac Asimov
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
― Carl Sagan
