    D&D 5E (2014) Which played-out D&D trope needs to die?

    My family was killed and I was powerless to stop it. Now I'm an angsty loner with no feelings and an unquenchable desire to kill everything I encounter. Even though I'm a loner, I'm going to hang out with this group of random people. I say offensive things because that's what I, the character...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which played-out D&D trope needs to die?

    The rats are actually townsfolk who have been polymorphed into rats by the evil innkeeper. Free the rats. Kill the innkeeper.

    D&D General Why do we Round Down???

    Superman III. There was no Superman IV. And there certainly was no Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, where Lex Luthor steals a strand of Superman's hair from a museum and uses kryptonite to make an evil Bizarro knockoff (Bizarro Bizarro?) called Nuclear Man, culminating in a terrible fight...

    Anyone in the market for a new house?

    It's near the Washington/Idaho border. That makes it a hard pass for me, seriously. When people usually think of the Pacific Northwest, they think of Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland. But there are a lot of militias, white supremacists, "3 Percenters," and Sovereign Citizens. It's only a short...

    What If...?

    Ok... so there's the Sacred Timeline. And anything that diverges from the Sacred Timeline gets pruned. And anyone pruned goes to the End of Time. One would assume that Captain Carter and T'Challa Starlord are Variants. So shouldn't they be at the End of Time? Or have they been eaten by Alioth...

    Anyone in the market for a new house?

    There's no one in the armor. It is a haunted suit of armor. Jinkies.

    Anyone in the market for a new house?

    10 acres is a lot. I mean, it's a lot of lot. That's a big lot to deal with. I have 2 acres and keeping up with that is hard enough. So I'd pass on this because, at that much land, I'd really need several vassals to help manage that. And then there's the hassle of my lordly obligations of...

    What If...?

    Who says he does? After all, it is called "Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of MADNESS!!!!"

    D&D General Why do we Round Down???

    I dunno. Seems like a bad idea to me. I mean, what's to stop someone from coming up with some spell that takes all those fractional HPs and stores them in some secret Bag of Holding?

    What If...?

    I got that too. But... She followed some incomprehensible being of limitless malevolence into its dimension where time and space mean nothing. In those scenarios, there is no happy ending for the hero. Even if they save the world, it comes at the cost of their sanity. When the captain of the...

    You're despicable.

    NEED ADVICE: Call of Cthulhu - "Best" Edition For Newcomers and Long Absent Players

    Lost in the dusty recesses of my waning memory, I have fond recollections of my misspent college weekends, playing RPGs across the spectrum. This was in the early 90s when there was an embarrassment of riches when it came to gaming. Our default was Vampire. But we also had Dark Sun, Saturday...

    What If...?

    One would think that being trapped in an extradimensional space with an eldritch horror would have returned Captain Carter insane. Kind of a "lose all sanity points" event.

    The local county fair?

    D&D General Why do we Round Down???

    I think you mean that that is more than half as long as you have been living. If 20 years is more than half of your life, then you will be dead within 10 years.

    D&D General Why do we Round Down???

    I have now decided to play D&D at my next Seder. And this will be one of the Four Questions. "In math class, we may round up or round down, depending on the dividend. Why in this edition do we only round down?"

    What If...?

    Back to the main topic... Overall, I liked it much in the same way that I like Breyer's French Vanilla ice cream. It's good. Not the greatest. Not breaking any new ground. But definitely good. The animation was very good. It could have stood to have been stretched out a bit but there are...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Peek At Witchlight's WARDUKE!

    Maybe he has a southpaw advantage. Like putting a lefty against a right-handed pitcher.
