I really like reading people's messages on why they're supporting the website. But I can't seem to find out how I can share mine when I'm supporting and every year I'm like: "it must be in the next page" after the payment, and the next page says thank you and that's it. I'm sure it's just there and I'm missing it but would you help me out with this?

Yeah, GW bundled those as a final salute before withdrawing from the RPG (except for some sputtering by Flame Publications - whose main claim to fame is the Doomstones campaign).
Two volumes: the first, as you say, was The Warhammer Adventure, which bundles TEW, SoB and DoTR. The second was Warhammer City of Chaos, which bundled, rather sensibly, PbtT and Warhammer City - so the city book for Middenheim together with the long adventure set in that city. SRiK was not part of such a bundle, and neither was EiF.
Edit: An overview of the different publications, on Wikipedia
I got both SRIK and EiF in the bundle. It may or may not have been due to GW, but it was the whole shebang...

Edit to add: I bought a shrink-wrapped bundle with the majority of it in two-book omnibus volumes...
The Warhammer Adventure (TEW, SoB, DOTR)
A second one not in the DB, but IIRC (I can't dig it out at the moment) includes PBT & SRIK
Empire in Flames as a single.

D&D gods are, well, pretty puny in AD&D 1e/2e and in D&D 3E...
... if you stat it, someone's group WILL find a way to Kill it. Takhisis has stats...

THey have defined stats: as with all the greater kami, all rings 10. And we see Lord Moon and Lady Sun get killed in L5R 4 canon.

When it comes to just Dragons, I'll say Legend of the five rings. They're actual forces of nature Reality itself.

ALIENS you can kill them. Barely. But you can.
Tho' the biggest D-move I made as a GM was WY requiring the ship to recover Jonesy's cryoberth.

First thought: Marvel Super Heroes... Galactus.
tho' many supers games do scale that high; Hero System 4e/5e/6e, GURPS Supers, DC Super Heroes...
wait, that's merely "several" not "many"...
Compared to Galactus, a Tarasque is a "lesser threat"... Even BECMI Immortal 36 are less potent.
But the Mechanoids from The Mechanoid Invasion are, while not singular nor as fast, just as devastating...
Then, considering other threats of similar scale...

If you go to /settings/preferences, it should show you when your Adblock expires. I think this is what you need, right?
Yes, thank you! I never thought to look under Preferences.
