    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Here in Michigan--particularly up in my home base of the Upper Peninsula--poutine has become more popular in the last twenty years or so. I don't recall it being much of a thing at all (especially compared to pasties) when I was a kid, but now it's pretty commonplace and popular up that way.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Any recommendations for OSE stuff? I love what OSE's done with B/X, and the Advanced Fantasy rules are exactly what I want. However, it seems like every time I find an intriguing 3rd party product to use with it, I do a little digging and find it's produced by--or friendly with--chuds. And boy...

    I'm doing them with a parallel grip in this phase, which is generally easier for me than a more pronated (sp?) grip. I tend to feel a bit more mind-muscle connection with a neutral grip, too: it feels more natural to drive my elbows out in front and then down and back, that way.

    Ozzy has passed. Pour one out for the Prince of Darkness.

    I first got into Ozzy in 1986, when I was 10 years old. My cousin--the same one who would get me into D&D later that year--gave me a taped copy of Blizzard of Ozz. It was my first taste of heavy metal and the occult, and I can honestly say it changed my life. Rest in Power, prince of darkness.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    I voted "homestyle," but honestly it could be just about any of them depending on the day. No wrong choices here--and yeah: I'm including sweet potato fries. They can be good!

    OSR Healing tweak - proportionality

    What you describe about older editions' per day healing used to bother me until very recently, but I think I see it differently now. I think it has something to do with looking at hit points as combat efficacy versus meatbag points. In older editions, hit points were really the thing that...

    This is exactly where I'm at these days. The minimalist/essentials program I'm on now lets me train to "beat the log book" each week without getting fried. I'll sometimes add drop sets to push the volume a bit more. That said, I also like that I don't generally feel like I need a deload week...
