    D&D 5E (2024) Essential Fighter’s Handbook

    If the book used the special to A5E or other 5e variant rules by default I probably wouldn't buy many - I mostly play 5e24. But having a sizeable number of things for these other systems too would be just fine. ----- By default Cleric would be the one that will likely tempt me no matter what...

    What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

    More old cop shows... Watched the first two episodes of the "Murdoch Mysteries" (from 2008-present, set in 1890s-early 1900s Canada). WIth things like Tesla in it, I really wanted to like it, but the acting and scripts just didn't do it for me. I might jump in later and see if that changes...

    Eggses!

    My standard order is "pink in the middle". To which they sometimes ask something like "is that medium rare or medium?", to which I reply "I have no idea, which is it here?".

    Eggses!

    The devil whispered in my ear, 'You're not strong enough to withstand the storm.' I whispered in the devil's ear, 'I love your eggs.'

    Eggses!

    I would be surprised to get one ordered sunny side up that didn't have mostly liquid yolk. (It feels like one would specify hard for that).

    Eggses!

    Sunny-side up if as a side with hashbrowns or corned-beef hash. Omeletted if as a main for breakfast. Deviled as an appetizer. Also when making a bagel sandwich microwaving to make the scrambled ones works quick and easy (and doing it in a coffee mug or pyrex measure makes them just the right...

    Today I learned +

    One of our local private schools is named for someone truly awful (even after accounting for why the school was founded). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond_School_(South_Carolina)

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm always impressed how the radio westerns (particularly Gunsmoke [1952-1961] and Fort Laramie [1956]) portray the bad that happened in terms of racism and sexism and genocide and the people who were committing it, but made it clear those people were the bad guys.

    Spoilers Wonder Man all episodes now streaming

    [Not aimed at @Hussar , but building off of his remark.] I'm guessing everyone has things like this that are different from other folks. (How many bad experiences before a restaurant goes on a bad list? What research do folks put in before they pay to get a book or pay to see a movie vs...

    Spoilers Wonder Man all episodes now streaming

    Binged it last week. Me and the other half enjoyed it, and she was particularly disappointed at the end that that was it. (Am thinking it is in my top few MCU TV shows - after Hawkeye, and somewhere in with Wanda-Vision and first Loki). There was a brief time decades ago where Wonder Man was my...

    What's on your shelf?

    On the back wall... Short case 1: Classic fantasy on the top shelf and Nero Wolfe (and related) on the bottom. Short case 2: My favorite Glen Cook on the top shelf (rest elsewhere). Some more Rex Stout and some other great mysteries, plus fantasy anthologies on bottom.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm guessing that my work shelves' books are not nearly as general audience interesting as my home shelves! If you start (or necro) one I will contribute.
