    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Yes. And yes. Though on some level, I have to admire that song's totally naked attempt to get people sobbing (or rolling their eyes).

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    The preachiness of it is just peak-Lennon for me. It's certainly the better of the two songs (as a contrast/compare - McCartney's song sounds like airheaded drivel with terrible synth), but it's not one I care to hear over and over.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    That's fine. (y)(y) I don't know - they took away my executive lounge key.

    Oooooooooo Geeeeeeee Elllllllllll...... Wait, let me say it three times into a mirror for you: OGL. OGL. OGL. BOOOGA BOOOGA BOOOGA! 3 years is not a very long time for really anything to pass, particularly in a hobby where people are talking about stuff that happened back in the 70s and 80s...

    Immersion?

    Yeah, this is why for me immersion is something that groups shouldn't worry about actively trying to achieve. IMO, Immersion happens when it happens. I think it's too simplistic to place blame on something, and actually expect that it's something that can be controlled. I think when people point...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    For me, the Christmas songs I actively try to avoid are any sung by Paul McCartney or John Lennon. Nothing grates on my nerves quite like "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" or "Happy Christmas (War is Over)"

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    True, but people have their reactions to such things. Enshitification happens. We can say it's just about making more video games or a TV series, but it can also be the impetus behind things like Project Sigil, not to mention the OGL decision process. I don't think anyone having my reaction...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I will say that Foxy Shazam did in fact have a big impact on this, but I also have David Bowie, Queen, The Struts and The Darkness to thank for this as well. :LOL:

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    For me, there was one remark made a couple of years ago that just kind of lingers on, and it underscores the whole corporate goal versus being a fan of the game thing - “D&D is undermonetized.” Wasn’t a great moment in corporate leadership or positioning from the perspective of a consumer of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    In other news, Spotify Wrapped just dropped and Glam Rock is clearly my genre.

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    And apparently Dragonborn!? That always throws me for a bit of a loop just based on my players’ preferences.

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    I remember everyone at one game wanted to kill Drizzt when he showed up one time. 😂

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Just venting in that anonymous way. Much better than being directly confrontational.

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    I don’t know if this is what you experienced but what I saw back in the 90s was players could care less about Forgotten Realms lore that came from novels - I could mess with that all I wanted. But Dragonlance canon and lore? Don’t you dare deviate from the Dragonlance story or people would tune...
