    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    The needs of the many outweigh the greed of the few (or the one).

    The Best Meal You Ever Had .... The Great Meal Discussion

    "I never had a meal like I did when I was drunk. Jesus, does anybody?" - Stephen King, probably. 53 year-old me still swears 21 year-old me was right about the Fat Cat -- with or without chili -- which is one of the greatest sandwiches on Earth and certainly New Jersey's most important...

    The Best Meal You Ever Had .... The Great Meal Discussion

    I'm going to have to think about 'best meal'. Snarf's rule #4 about 'no external circumstances' is throwing me. If it weren't for that, I'd pick the Icelandic-style hot dog I had at 1:00 AM from the famous hot dog stand near the harbor in downtown Reykjavik, eaten while being serenaded by a...

    Go check out TheGlimmering site. Maybe I misunderstood. Scratch that, I hope I misunderstood.

    Wait a minute. The (discount) pre-order price for a single NFT PC is $276 (US) at the current MATIC token exchange rate?! Did I read that right?

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    First of all, thanks for wading into this pool of (mostly) skepticism and snark to give us your firsthand experience working for the company. Can I ask, though - who is this meant for? Since the pandemic lockdowns, both my groups have moved online, using Zoom and Roll20, respectively. Both are...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Another potential benefit of this endeavor: Dan Olson's "level goes up" video. Also, since some (lucky) people are making money now from NFT's made from literally anything, why not grab a few of your old character sheets, mint them on OpenSea, and roll the proverbial (percentile) dice? Then...

    But is it Stalker long? (regardless, it's in my HBO queue)

    On the plus side, this will fail.

    Picard season 2 (spoilers maybe unmarked)

    Hit it! Why does anyone want to fight the Nazis? What are the Allies motivation? The probes made Agnes stronger (presumably tougher, too, since she didn't injure herself). Rios notes how strong she is later in the episode. They generated an EMP. It's in the dialogue. And why can Christopher...

    Payn's Ponderings... Top 10 Essential Albums

    This might be the best description of Steely Dan's music I've ever seen. (sings "Deacon Blues" and "Kid Charlemagne" quietly, to himself) Yes, can confirm. It is.

    OSR I never should have picked up Old School Essentials…

    So how is OSE different from a system like Labyrinth Lord? My group is switching to 5e for our next campaign, but we enjoyed a 2-year LL game during the pandemic and I can't rule out going back to a simpler system in the future.

    Picard season 2 (spoilers maybe unmarked)

    “How does somebody move to another country and get a job?” isn’t as difficult a question to answer as you’re making it out to be.

    Picard season 2 (spoilers maybe unmarked)

    This episode turned Star Trek into Cloud Atlas: the same set of souls reincarnated through the ages, playing variations on a theme. A bit jarring at first, but I think I may love it. At the same time it turned into a heist movie were they send the roboticist in first, instead of the ex-spy...
