    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I wrote my post at 1:30am, Dec 25. My illiterate moment with the playlist was in the evening of Dec 24. So, I was 2 songs away from being Whammageddoned by my own hand! It’s likely my poor writing that caused confusion. 99% of the time I am on ENWorld in bed, on a old laggy iPad, and typing...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    An hour and half into Xmas Day…and I an Unwhamified! I was in the car for maybe an hour, running some last minute errands (I.e. buying my wife a gift) and it did not come up. Came home and decided to put on my Xmas Day playlist, after scanning it, and somewhat surprisingly seeing that Last...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    3am Xmas Eve and still in despite spending 3+ hours in the car jumping between radio stations! And while the lyrics to Do They Know It’s Xmas? might not win any awards, the reasons for making the song were altruistic. That’s what counts in my books.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Took the family out for Greek in Kitsilano last night. As I was perusing the menu, I heard it! But it sounded off, my daughter confirmed it wasn't Wham! It was Justin Bieber singing. Saved by covers don’t count rule. Biers finishes singing, to be followed by Last Christmas! But it was another...

    What's Atop Your Christmas Tree?

    It's far more concerning when it’s NOT Xmas!

    What's Atop Your Christmas Tree?

    I've been asking for the Death Star for years! Tree top is bare at the moment. We follow the Ecclesiastical Reformed People's Front protocol: I locate box in the basement and celery it upstairs; it sits in the middle of the living room for the prescribed 3 to 5 days while I recover from...

    What's the best die type and why is it the d12?

    D12. Longsword damage versus large creatures.

    D&D General Does anyone recall coming across any magic weapons that return when thrown...other than Dwarven Thrower, Hammer of Thunderbolts or magic boomerangs?

    I recall BITD having a pair of dagger sheaths that were enchanted to teleport the daggers back after they had been thrown. The daggers had to be placed in said sheaths for some period of time to become attuned. What I don't recall is if this was a home brew item. If I can find the character...

    D&D General Does anyone else title their D&D sessions?

    I give each session a title when I post the summary to the blog. I always come with the name after the session and I avoid just using a module name , if I can. Some recent ones: Sabotage and Skullduggery Barbecue. Crashers Plot Dump (followed by) Less Lore, More Gore Total. Party. Kill. DM...

    D&D General What to Do with a Dragon Corpse?

    I stumbled on this site: Adult Dragon, Harvesting & Loot, treasure from a D&D creature when I had the same question from my group regarding a defeated wyrmling white dragon. A lot of details for harvesting bits of monsters.

    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    I'm assuming “another game” refers to RPGs. I started playing D&D around 1978. The next RPG I can recall playing was WEG Star Wars, in 2022.

    For those of you who have set up play-by-post games, how do you do it?

    I joined RPOL.net in 2019 and have been playing in multiple games since; currently in 11 active games. I’ve not GM’d a game so I can’t speak to that side of things but from the comments and discussions with the GMs running my games it sounds pretty intuitive to use. From a player’s perspective...

    D&D General How would you feel if Official Adventures only covered 3 levels?

    I miss the old days, when a module would give you an appropriate starting level and it was mostly irrelevant what level you were when it ended. Generally, that would depend on the size of the party ( and the number of survivors). It’s likely true that printing 32 page modules might not meet...
