Elizabeth Kolbert: A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who wrote two great, fascinating, and brisk reads on climate change, The Sixth Extinction and Under A White Sky Fetch The Bolt-Cutters by Fiona Apple: Hands down, the best album of 2020, Fiona Apple's latest album continues to surprise, as...

Also, if you are building for Skyrim, then the GPU isn't where your power should be coming from. Skyrim, like most Bethesda Games, is more CPU intensive than anything. Additionally, it's not optimized for multithreading. So buying an i9 series Intel chip is a waste of your money if that's your...

You clearly haven't explored the endless timesuck that is modding Skyrim. Now that's a game that, in spite of being a decade old, has an active modding community that has updated the assets to 4K graphics, added all new scores and sound effects, and created hundreds of hours of new quest lines...

The solution is to cancel the streaming services that aren't named "Netflix" or "Disney +"

Another industry booming in the Age of Corona.

A caveat regarding graphics - Gaming GPUs are not just good for gaming. They are also good for "mining" cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Ethereum. As such, when they hit shelves, they're immediately bought up. For this reason, buying high-end GPUs right now is prohibitively expensive. There are...

Red Sludding. Hailing from the mind of Lord David, the ruler of the demiplane of Cronenbourg, this creature is just like a black pudding. Except that it reproduces like a red slaad.

As stated, a scroll is single-use. And the wand is good for about 2 or 3 charges per encounter because most recharge at sunrise, not on short rest. And at the last charge, it has a 5% chance of breaking. Of course, the caster could also use a magic staff as a melee weapon, bopping enemies for...

Martial classes are probably going to have magic weapons around the time the party starts facing off against monsters that are immune or resistant to mundane damage. Meanwhile, the pajama-wearers are expected to not need weapons. So unless the caster has a +1 bow, he's going to be next to useless.

This. Wizard: Well, I'm out of cantrips. That's okay. I'll just pull out my trusty crossbow. Good thing I have a 14 DEX... Okay, Mandalf pulls out his light crossbow and fires at the slavering wight. Yuss! 16! I roll a 3. So that's 5 damage. DM: No. You do 2 damage.

Question: Do you track arrows? Do you track wand charges? Be honest. If you are not tracking arrows and wand charges, are you prepared to track cantrips? Let's say you have 2 casters with cantrips in the party. You (or your players) will now be tracking cantrips, spell slots, and ammo (and...
