    Kansas City Chiefs Release Hour-Long D&D Actual Play Video

    I found younger women much more open. It was women my own age or slightly older that were hypercritical. Growing up I got the sense that kids were expected to become mature like adults ASAP. Then, be a serious adult the rest of your life. Fun was for kids, enjoy it while it lasts. Im glad that...

    Kansas City Chiefs Release Hour-Long D&D Actual Play Video

    I've fortunately never ran into the "D&D is satanic!" issue in any capacity. As a Gen X-er it was more folks thinking you were a stunted adult for playing kids games still. I think that view has greatly diminished with millennials and Gen Z. One cool thing about sharing at a work an even older...

    Kansas City Chiefs Release Hour-Long D&D Actual Play Video

    I didn't for a long time. Particularly, when I was dating. A lot of the professional women would go icy cold when I told them I was a gamer. So, for a long time I played crouching cougar, hidden gamer. These days though im pretty open about it and my team finds it fascinating to hear my...

    Spoilers Stranger Things Season 5 - SPOILERS

    Vecna/Henry always underestimates his foes which begs the question why doesnt he learn from his mistakes? I'd say he is super powerful and angry more than being a super genius. With Max, if you think about it she was trapped in his mind and her body back in the regular Hawkins. She was no threat...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Seems like saying that once is boundary testing, saying it repeatedly is looking for a fix as you say.

    If he had just a couple of well timed comedic relief moments, id have really enjoyed it. Its true, there might be more to the story behind Argyle's write out. I just dont think "too many characters trying to focus more" makes a lot of sense given what we have so far.

    Spoilers Stranger Things Season 5 - SPOILERS

    Just read about Surfer Boy Argyle getting cut from the show. They said he was part of the California side story and that they wanted to focus just on Hawkins. I'd buy that if they narrowed the focus back to the main group of kids. However, we got Murray, Rockin Robin and her GF Vicki, Wheeler...

    It seems like they slowly been putting Steve on an island so its not too sad if he dies, though I think that would be very nasty to Dustin as has been mentioned. My guess is they team up and save each other to make it out by the skin of their teeth.

    CRPGs as the foundation for a TTRPG Campaign

    I have been trying to insert RPG elements into my Battletech games for sometime. I have long been a fan of the 2001 video game Mechcommander II. It has an intriguing plot that takes place on a planet thats is contested by numerous factions. After each mission the story progresses as does the...

    Spoilers Stranger Things Season 5 - SPOILERS

    One thing ill say is folks are being pretty hyper critical of this final season. Maybe thats just my perspective as I havent taken this show that seriously since season 2. Its morphed from a sort of supernatural horror story to a young adult scooby doo weekly Rube Goldberg device thing. Which is...

    Maybe, likely Hopper and anybody adjacent to the main cast. Though, Hopper and Mike living and El dying would be interesting.
