The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Cadence]

Spoilers!

Could have had a three if you'd used Tasha's or One instead of picking the wrong race in DnD2014!

Not sure where to put this, and don't feel like starting a separate thread, so it goes here.

The Rehearsal was absolutely amazing. I've heard people try and describe it ... "cringe comedy," is a phrase I've heard, but that's not right. It isn't remotely that. The closest comparator I kept thinking of when I was watching it was probably the movie, Synecdoche, New York. But while that's close, that's not it either.

More like Synecdoche crossed with Review (with Andy Daly) with just a bit of Nathan Fiedler's previous show (Nathan for You) thrown in.

The less you know going in, the better.

You know you are off to a stellar start when you post a new thread with 8 paragraphs about a thing, and the first post says its not a thing.

Me, when I see the guy who blocked me yesterday ended up banned today.

I counted and it was actually 15 paragraphs. Which, given the OP, it's actually remarkably restrained

Heh. My daughter might be doing a home stay in Regina in March.

She’s never really seen snow.

I’m rather looking forward to it.

Years ago, at a Rocky Horror mini-con in Allentown, PA, it started snowing.
The wind was going pretty good, so the snow was literally blowing sideways.
One of the guys from one of the CA casts was standing by the window with his head tilted all the way over, watching the snow, and asking, "Is snow supposed to do that?"

And my internal monologue was all like, "Y'all ain't from 'round here, is ya?"

They say that people aren't defined by their friends, but by their enemies.

Which is my great regret in life is that I didn't have a chance to meet Fred Roger before he passed, because I'm sure I would have found a way to pi*s him off.

I have no doubt I could have gotten Mother Teresa and the Pope to try to kick me in the junk if I really wanted to...

I prefer to be defined by my lack of enemies - I like to think of them as "volunteers to help keep me entertained".

If you don't see me on the boards for a while it is because I am working on my screenplay for a dark comedy where playing D&D is friggin' miserable no matter what you do, and the whole point is for everyone involved to do their best to aggravate and enrage everyone else who plays and they mostly succeed simply by talking about how they play or like to play.

So... You're basically transcribing the video I did of my last gaming session?

I know that fighters aren't wizards, and I see how they have been structured to play differently than wizards: with different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities to let them fill a different niche in the game. How is any of this a problem? There are several threads in play now about "fixing" this "problem" and I don't see it. What exactly are we trying to fix?

But there's no way I would post this question in any of those threads, though. No sir. I've already seen what happens when people ask such questions in there.

And as a corollary-

Zeno: I want a good fighter!

Achilles: But there is a good fighter. I like the D&D fighter.

Zeno: No, I want an awesome, super-cool, superhero fighter. Like anime.

Achilles: Okay. What do you mean by that?

Zeno: I want a fighter that isn't constrained by regular fighter stuff. I want a fighter with a blade that booms, and that can jump like a spell, and can do all the cool stuff that spellcasters do, but is also a fighter!

Achilles: Have you tried an Eldritch Knight? Magic Initiate? Multiclassing with a dip? You can just add a few spells, like, oh, booming blade. Or jump. And then you have your fighter and all your cool effects, just like a spellcaster! You can totally have your anime cake, and eat it too!

Zeno: NO! I want a fighter, not a spellcaster. I don't want to ... CAST SPELLS.

Achilles: sigh
