    Yet another "How old are you?" thread

    A lot of us started when 3e and forums were young. My guess is that younger folks moved to modern social media slop.

    Yet another "How old are you?" thread

    Same. D&D is just a hair older. It’s a bit sad. I was in my early 20s when I started posting on Eric Noah’s site.

    Closer to a Xelennial, actually.

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    Yes! It is maddening and often used to support biased interpretations.

    Is "finding the right players" a solvable problem, or just luck?

    I always take prospective players out for lunch. I talk about my style, the game, and just talk to them about what they like in a game. If I get a bad vibe, then I do not invite them. It has never failed.

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    The hardcore Christians I grew up around would never have touched D&D. I learned about D&D from this Christian kid who presented an 8th grade English paper about how it was evil, I had to try it. I grew up near Camp Lejeune so I gamed with a lot of Marines when I was younger and always have at...

    It is much easier for them than actual research and reporting. Social media is the original AI slop.

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    I will wager 99% of the trolling accounts twitter are bots or bad actors working to further divide people. The other 1% are just trolls or ‘beards. I tend to game with a diverse group of people and that includes neuro-divergent and differing opinions. The only people I have real issues with...

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    I have a no politics rule for my gaming groups. I did not need it 20 years ago but it is required now. People used to be able to have constructive conversations and the shared geek culture was a solid binder. Now, if folks cannot be civil and tolerate to one another, then they can find another...

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Bring back 22 episode seasons that cost less than 2 episodes of academy. The problem is that they spend 100 mil for 8 episodes with years between. I am tired of short seasons with no character building or time to get to know the setting.

    He seems middle of the road to me.

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Tachyon Pulse says they had some inkling and shot accordingly. He has been stating that it was going to be canceled all along. I think this means Kurtzman did not get renewed. I am ok with it. He has been very hit and miss since he stopped working with Orci.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond's Development Roadmap Is A Complete Rebuild Of Platform

    I’d check your purchase history in the site to see if that data is available. I know that the new library dropdown is blank if you have no favorites listed and you have to view the entire library to see purchases. The cool thing is they seemed to fix the issue where a market icon appears next...

    D&D Jihad: People Who Are Unwell

    I read this thread and still have no idea what it is about other than the OP was feeding the trolls by giving them the time of day.
