I missed out on the premium Monster Manual; I procrastinated until it wasn't available directly. I've been kicking myself ever since.

I'm back to it tonight after a week off. I also stopped taking creatine over that break, so I'm curious what my strength levels will be when I go back. I'm feeling pretty confident with the Upper/Lower 4x/week split, so I'm excited about that. Now that I'm on the other side of Thanksgiving...

@Scribe: dang, dude! Congrats!

I've planned for an entire week off (which is good, as I was pretty fried). I'm already itching to go back, though! Happy Thanksgiving, all.

I know it's not scientific, but I'm not surprised with the results tbh.

I'm sorry, man. That sucks. Hopefully it's just a momentary twinge.

Oh no! Did you have any indication something was about to happen? Like, what was the context?

I've been waiting for the Necrotic Tome and Demonomicon (or whatever they're calling them) for soooooo looooooong. I'm really hoping this stuff lands before May.

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to answer. It's been such a treat to get a preview of something I'm really looking forward to. :)

You have the right of it, Weiley. You'd think as a writing teacher I'd be able to explain myself more clearly. Curses!

@Nikosandros, I have yet another question if you'll indulge me (again!). Does the Fighter combat dominance option (multiple attacks versus creatures under 1 HD) apply to race-classes like Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, etc.? Is it ever made explicit in the text one way or the other?

Nice work! It sounds like you have a plan of attack and that you're being very deliberate in balancing it with the WFH situation. Re: the bug, yeah. I'm still constantly blowing my nose from the cold I caught a week or so ago. I suspect this is going to be the story for the rest of the winter. :/

Hmmm…wasn’t getting notifications on this thread. 😕 Feeling pretty good on the four day split. Pull ups stalled out in the second set; I’m hoping it’s because my form was a bit tighter compared to last week. Most everything g else went up. Upper 2 Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at 5:34 PM Bench...

As I've gotten older, I find prep to be the most odious part of DMing. I think it's a large part of why I moved away from 5/5.5e back to B/X (by way of OSE). I use published adventures in a published world (Known World). If I can spend less than 15 minutes of prep for a session, I'm a happy guy...
