    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    As I have frequently said, despite being a part of this community, I often feel like I have no place to discuss D&D and other games I like in a way that I like or feels productive.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    "I know I have been arguing with people for two days and poking at people for having feelings about this thing, but let me just say that I am completely uninformed on this topic and my little Googling after the fact shows me that I really don't actually care about this thing at all, so...

    GMs: What is your prep to play ratio?

    I find this impossible to answer. My prep is very staggered. Some days I can work for 20 minutes, others for 2 hours. I also like prep and world-building so I am always tinkering with stuff for future use, plus I love to paint minis and build terrain, and will often build things specific to...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Don't worry. I scraped something out of my bits box that can easily be made into something on its own - so I have something to work on while I wait for the stuff from Etsy. 😅

    I made a terrible life decision…

    This is the project I have been wanting and fearing to undertake but in regards to the 1500+ miniatures i own.

    I can't decide if this one poster is actually insufferable, or merely exasperating.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    As of yesterday (and for the first time since I started painting minis in earnest in 2020), I have painted every single mini I have to be painted. Sure, there are things in a giveaway box and a some stuff to be broken up repurposed for crafts, but in terms of every mini intend to paint and...

    What Bit Of Fan Fic/Edit/Theory Made a Thing Better or even GREAT For You?

    Oh wow. This is very close to how I handle it. I have been hoping to run this again for the first time in decades, but haven't gotten the chance. I want to run it as a campaign (or a post-retirement campaign for characters from one or more completed campaigns), thus allowing for them to be...

    Subtitles for People That Hate Them

    This is me with any movie in Spanish with English subtitles. I find it very distracting because I can’t help but critique the translation. That said, as someone with some auditory processing issues and some hearing damage, captions are a godsend when I can’t have the TV at a loud volume and...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Really curious if I am just missing what everyone here is alluding to or if it from a thread/poster I already cannot see. Curiosity is my downfall.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That weird feeling when a thread you are following gets merged with a thread by someone you are ignoring, so it literally disappears but you somehow still get notifications of people reacting to your posts in the now invisible thread.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yes (though I think it is more like 3d4-1 people). I think I have blocked everyone who has done this to me, even after being told it was unnecessary and kind of rude, but I may have to start blocking more of those who do it to others.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The subtext to many posts: “Here, let me offer a solution to a problem you never said you had but that I have decided is behind every D&D issue, even the ones you are too much a liar or dunce to admit.”
