I once played Paranoia at a con in a 3-hour slot. Everyone had died within the first 25 minutes - all 6 clones for each player! :LOL: We just took a 10 minute break and started over! Great fun tho

I found TOON to be like Paranoia, fun but not great for playing more than a one-shot at a time.

I think @Ancalagon also frequently sings its praises.

My 2006 Honda Civic had 230,000 miles on it in 2021 when I finally got rid of it. The engine was in great shape and would have run for another 100k, I think. But it would have fallen out of the rusted bottom of the car before then. 😂

This thread has taught me that old speakers (and many old receivers/amplifiers) last forever (or so my Yamaha speakers and Onkyo receiver confirm).

I play it however the person who taught it to me says it works.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I find this fascinating and funny because I totally disagree with @tetrasodium’s perspective but also do not look at my D&D games as “a story” like @Scott Christian.

Ah. I get you. I basically run my games that way too (I never think about how many combat or other types of encounters the party has in an adventuring day outside of what makes sense for the environment and the situation). And while I was aware that 5MWD did not literally mean "5 minutes," I...

I have allowed it as long as it doesn’t break other rules (like limits on spellcasting per turn) and it has never been a problem. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Definitely not worth a feat.

I am always confused when people talk about the 5MWD in 5e since you can only have one long rest per 24 hours. I am sure finding a place to rest or having to wait a whole day before starting a long rest to even be possible can be achieved in occasional adventuring environments (given time...

I used my iPod until last year when it finally died for good.

I’ve tried Bluesky but it just wasn’t the same. The moment is gone. I can accept that but I still do miss it.

I miss high Twitter. Back when I had a place to put every random thought without supporting a wannabe fascist or be shouted down by mouthbreathers. Tho to be honest, most of those thoughts were just ones that I knew would annoy my wife or that she didn't give an ish about. For example, I was...

One way I make the distinction between Gods that grant spells to clerics and powers that make deal with Warlocks in my setting, is by establishing an upper echelon of 13 Gods that can only do the former, while all the Undergods (including archdevils and demon princes and others) can make deals...
