    What are you reading in 2025?

    So I'm not the only one that gets stressed reading for pleasure? These multi 700 page books have about made me quit reading fiction for pleasure. But then I circle back to sci-fi and fantasy of the 60s-80s and feel better. I am currently reading The Postman by Brian (inspired by the post...

    Spoilers What do people get wrong about Tolkien?

    Some people (GRR Martin) should know that the professor was writing mythology not historical fiction and as such tax tables in the Fourth Age are not really called for.

    Spoilers What do people get wrong about Tolkien?

    While I haven't confronted anyone over the point, I'm pretty sure a lot of people totally misunderstand "Not all who wander are lost".

    Yep my grandad did that and used buttermilk. Absolutely horrid. But it was a great for him.

    My mom made a chocolate gravy that we would put over biscuits. Man, only on special occasions, but it rocked.

    D&D General The Player's Quantum Ogre: Warlock Pacts

    So I don't disagree with using setting logic/versimilitiude at all. But the player should have the main hand in their character backstory. See my warlock is not making an opened pack such as give me power and I will obey you. It's I beat a devil in a fiddle contest and won a thread of its...

    D&D General The Player's Quantum Ogre: Warlock Pacts

    Whenever I DM a warlock I absolutely have that conversation up front, and I don't intend to ever give ultimatums from the patron anyway. For D&D I tend to have convs with all players because of character creation has enough parts that I don't know what is important to which player. For example I...

    D&D General The Player's Quantum Ogre: Warlock Pacts

    I agree. I just have not seen many post in the 5 ed era that show willingness to go after the other classes like I have seen about the warlock. But again agree this is almost certainly an online thing and doesn't really occur too much in the wild.

    D&D General The Player's Quantum Ogre: Warlock Pacts

    I think a lot of player concern/pushback comes from online people seemingly licking their chops at playing "gotcha"with the warlock players. As in the patron telling the warlock "burn down that orphan or lose all your powers". Hahaha I doubt that really happens but the way some people post...it...
