    D&D 5E Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    I do think leaning into the Princess thread is probably the way to go. Originally I had an idea of the Princess already being in possession of a stone, but I like the idea of her having ulterior motives for her trip. The Charisma stone would be a good choice too. Side question, what color makes...

    D&D 5E Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    I don't think it's burnout.. I'm enjoying DMing, and I'm looking forward to getting to play together again. I'm just a loss for where to go. With that said, we are looking forward to the new Baldur's Gate update with cross-play so we can all play together.

    D&D 5E Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    This is a good idea. One of my players has offered to run a one-shot that they say should only take 60-90 minutes. Maybe we'll get together and play that, and then either before or after, we can have a session 0.2 where we level up the characters to 5, or anyone has the opportunity to re-roll...

    Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K Show Is Happening

    Warhammer is one of those games that I've always wanted to get into, but just struggle to commit to. I already spend enough money on Magic: The Gathering.. And these minis aren't cheap. That's also only considering the monetary investment. I don't really have the time, nor the desire to get into...

    D&D 5E Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    I'm posting this under D&D 5e, as that's what we play.. But this could largely be in the general TTRPG thread. My group have kind of been on Hiatus, due to the holidays, family obligations, and what not. Everyone has been itching to get back to the table, and I think we're hoping to get to it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's weird. I had some major gastro issues several years ago, and I've had a colonoscopy, and a few endoscopies. There was one time where I didn't actually fully lose consciousness. That was pretty miserable. But generally you go down, and wake up pretty easily. Feel a little groggy after but...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Weird sodas are hard to come by. Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, Ohio is a good stop. I think there are other locations as well. I was in Indianapolis and they had a shop called Rocket Fizz.. Looking at their site they're a franchise.. So you could be the change you want to see in the world.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    We should probably chill it on the CEO talk. It's going to very quickly border into political territory and I'd very much like to keep our Pineapple Pizza discussion open and in tact. Some places put cinnamon on their Hawaiian pizza. I like it, but it's not something I'd want all the time.

    Also, if their numbers get too numerous we see negative downstream impacts on the parked car population.

    D&D General Folks Who Came Back With 5E: Did You Stay with 5E?

    I'm not sure if I count. When I left D&D I also left TTRPGs for a while. I learned the game in a short campaign in 2e. We very quickly jumped to 3.5e and played that for years. We were heavily invested in the edition. When 4e came out we were all pretty excited for it actually. We ended up...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I've been playing a lot of paper Magic: The Gathering lately. I'm getting into both Standard and Pioneer so I've been purchasing a lot of singles.. My girlfriend was questioning all the envelopes showing up in the mail, and I put her at ease when I showed her the pack slips and how most of the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There was a thread on one of the D&D subreddits a long time ago where a DM was asking about some weird annoying thing a player was doing, and someone asked them about how their relationship with the players were. The DM admitted that they didn't consider any of the players friends. Rather, they...

    D&D General Matt Colville: "50 years later we're still arguing about what D&D even is!"

    Ever since finishing Of Dice and Men and Slaying the Dragon I've been interested in getting another book about D&D history. I think this has solidified my choice for the next one. I really enjoy reading old magazines and what gamers thought back then. It's pretty easy to find almost the entirety...

    WHAMMAGEDDON 2024

    I lost very early on.. I imagine most of you fogeys are too old to be spending time on TikTok but in case you do play with the app from time to time, be warned. It's a popular track used on videos there at the moment.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I always appreciate seeing a heated/charged/divisive comment get ignored and the top move forward to a new page or two without anyone taking the bait.

    D&D General “‘Scantily Clad and Well Proportioned’: Sexism and Gender Stereotyping in the Gaming Worlds of TSR and Dungeons & Dragons.”

    It always saddens me a little bit when I see someone asking for representation, only to be hand-waved away and be told "Everything is fine the way it is." These ladies wrote into Dragon. They said "Hey. I'm trying to be apart of this group, but I struggle to see myself in the art", and the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh but wait.. I don't think you've heard about my formula yet.. I think I've perfected it.. You take the average HD of each party member, multiplied by the number of players, and check that result against the reference table for the corresponding terrain and time of day....... You know what...

    WHAMMAGEDDON 2024

    Since covers are fair game.. If anyone needs to get their fix and needs a suggestion I'd recommend Steven Page's (Of Barenaked Ladies fame) version. It's available on YouTube. If you subscribe to his Patreon you can also listen to his back catalog of livestreamed videos. During covid he went...
