This thread is making me crave a nice filet mignon.

See, that makes sense to me. Insisting on "pink or no pink" as the only options? Not so much.

My vote is public. But has anyone encountered this thing at restaurants where they ask you "pink or no pink?" and not the standard "rare, medium, well" gradations we've all been using in this thread? I have once or twice, and find it annoying. A server explained that it was supposed to be...

I really think that any time anyone mentions "6 to 8 encounters per adventuring day" they should have to pay me a dollar, and if they leave out the word "adventuring" they should have to pay me five.

Not sure how to vote. I use 2014 5e + whatever I like from all the books after it and all the editions before it. My next campaign will be a homebrew 5e ruleset.

I am blessed with two groups that remain engaged throughout. So this is not an issue for me when I DM. But I will say I personally find it hard to remain engaged when it is not my turn as a player in an online game. I just find it easier to remain engaged when we are all at the table.

I think the West End Games d6 Star Wars TTRPG mentioned this, and I am never got into extended universe (which to me is everything but the films themselves - save perhaps for a couple of recent shows), so not sure if it ever explicitly came up elsewhere, but I think of the Empire as following an...

None of my breaks (ranging from 6 months to a few years) have been intentional, but they all ended up being a needed re-charging.

Serkis is good, but Robert Ingliss's unabridged reading is unparalleled and includes all the appendixes read aloud (in voices when appropriate).

I really liked Best of Dragon IV best, personally. The other ones had some cool stuff, but I think I used the NPC classes and the 1/2 ogre from IV the most.
