I’ve got a long list of household tasks to complete today, but what I really want to do is prep for Saturday’s D&D game.

How to say someone is being a 🍆 without saying it. ;)

Aw damn! I responded before I saw this. I'm a real Repetitious Robert.

Well if it isn't Pedantic Peter. . . . :LOL: ;)

Nancy is a non-gendered surname. As in the French Philosopher, Jean-Luc Nancy or the Bangladeshi singer, Nazmun Munira Nancy. According to genealogy records, Tennessee had the highest recorded population of Nancy families in the U.S. around 1840. ;) :LOL:

I know you joined the forums in 2023, but I had never seen you before I suddenly noticed you being a Negative Nancy at every opportunity in many threads in which I was interested. Maybe it is just me, and not you. . . but my experience will be better when you're blocked. Take care and have...

Oops! I hate when people do that! I was only trying to agree. :)

But it is definitely idiosyncratic and the ideas are great, maybe even brilliant. It has seeped into stuff in ways big and small. You can't tell me that the hidden religious warrior on a desert world with a new apprentice who is a moisture farmer wasn't influenced by Dune to some degree. Its...

Man, I am literally 54 and I sooooo relate to that - and I have good haircut already!

Oh I like mundanity. Mundanity like anything repeated ad infinitum becomes absurd. It is not a barrier to weird, at. all. :LOL:

I just reread Dune for the first time in about 23 years. I read it at least five times between 1987 (when I first read it for a HS English class and watched Lynch's film version - which I still love) and 2003 (when seeing some of the SyFy mini-series version and not liking it drove me back to...

I am talking about forming an opinion about something in which you are un- or under- informed. In that case, you are using your (lack of) experience to form the opinion that maybe you just don't know enough to have something worth contributing. Edit: in other words, I think what you said and...

I am not familiar enough with non MtG CCGs but when it comes to RPGs, I’d be more sympathetic if it were still 1986 or maybe even 1996. But definitely not in 2026. You don’t have to be familiar with other games, you just have to be wise enough to understand that your own experience is...

Now I am imagining someone who approaches all card games as if they were Magic. Imagine sitting down to play bridge and asking the other players if they still play with Mana Burn. 😂
