    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I have a PMP, its a fancy distinction you can get as a "project management professional". Its nowhere nearly as distinguished as passing the BAR, but has a 2X higher fail rate.

    What kinds of games do you like, and why?

    Dont know. I just look on from my battletech games in awe as they are like a surgical team.

    What kinds of games do you like, and why?

    There is a local group that plays TI every Saturday… twice. They have a once a year weekend tournament.

    D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+]

    I miss alignment. I do not miss class abilities tied to alignment that can be taken away arbitrarily.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Thats ok, here in MN folks forget completely how to drive in snow between seasons. The first few snow falls are a doozy.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mearls has some Interesting Ideals about how to fix high level wizards.

    That’s not the real story it wasn’t about popularity. It’s been noted they choose Pathfinder because they liked it better than 4E mechanically. They moved to 5E afft we’re launch cause they liked it even more.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mearls has some Interesting Ideals about how to fix high level wizards.

    You got that backwards. Casino Royale was Bakarat when written. Texas Holden exploded in popularity so they change it for the Craig film. I am curious why critical role used 5E if it sucked so bad? They never used 4E.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Not sure about basing before or after. Though, I got some varnish I like. If using a brush I like this. If using airbrush (preferred) I like that.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mearls has some Interesting Ideals about how to fix high level wizards.

    During PF2 playtest just about everything I liked got chopped and all the stuff I didnt was touted. Sometimes you are just the odd man out.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mearls has some Interesting Ideals about how to fix high level wizards.

    I think folks put a little too much stock in, "you are gonna upset somebody, so you might as well go for broke" kind of perspective. In the status quo take you will annoy some folks who want big changes, the latter you really need to knock it out of the park or you are gonna lose your base. At...

    RPG Evolution: The Quest for the Table

    That is likely. Also, its a social outlet where we talk about life, family, etc.. It reminds me of my old man after his softball games. They would talk a little about the game and upcoming games, but it was social hour mostly.

    RPG Evolution: The Quest for the Table

    The after wargame chat and cool down is definitely a thing. We often end up in the parking lot for 30-60 min after close tailgating. Its interesting because I dont ever do this with RPGs. I tend to see FLGS as community places and expect them to be kind of noisy. Which I suppose is why I dont...
