Shoot. I'm out. I didn't notice but the other half did as we waited in line to be seated for lunch. (It serves me right for thanking the bagel place this morning when the staff switched off the Christmas tunes because it helps me make it longer...)

Wrong thread ..

In line for blue dragon.

Tangentially, there are debates on pickleball and tennis (does the former mess with built up muscle memory from the later and things like that), looks like some types of endurance work mess up sprinting, and it is common to hear that bughouse messes with normal chess playing. Those...

Dunkel Weizenbock during a December sunset at the Bierkeller in Columbia, SC. Not as good as their Weissbier, but good.

Laborious [as in effort requiring] vs. Difficult [as in skill requiring]? As in hard work vs. a hard subject. For a hard class it wouldn't be clear which was meant? (Tons of busy work with picky grading, or a class in a complicated, difficult to understand subject).

At one extreme there is the kind of hard where I could probably do it if after getting brief instructions if the alternative was starving or being killed if I didn't successfully do it, but otherwise nah I can't imagine marshalling the motivation. At the other end there is the kind of hard...

Taking a tangent... Is consuming a wide variety of genres of movies/tv/books/comics also very helpful? Are there some genres that would be not helpful at all? Would the writing styles and interactions in them still be useful in them regardless of the genre? How about activities like writing...

Edmund's Oast Sour Lemon Lime was pretty nice. (So Lime and Lemon+Lime on the good list, Orange and just Lemon not so far).

Depends on if I want the senior member of our household to kill me or not? Our games typically last, say, a year to three years, and end for a variety of reasons (sometimes after much less than a year). And then the question comes up of what to do next. We typically have the prospective...

If several DMs have an idea for the next campaign to try, how do they decide on that? (Ours kind of informally votes I guess, with probably bonus points to someone who hasn't gotten to run in a while - but if it isn't what anyone else is interested in, they won't get bumped above others). Is...

Monday as 5e player: Session number 52 in campaign Tuesday as 5e DM: Lined up for blue dragon

I don't think my hop intake is anywhere close to getting me to a shift... Stouts (many kinds, not usually Barrel Aged or Nitro), Porters, Hefe/Dunkel Weiss, and a few other random things [Pumpkin Ales, Lime Sours] are my usual, but I can enjoy a Modelo too.
