    You Can Now Pre-Order My Little Pony TTRPG

    Considering my 7 year-old is primed and ready for TTRPGs (and my 3 year-old is an expert dice tower architect), I'm sold.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Based on the 80s D&D Cartoon?

    Nice bodyshaming there! Did it ever occur to you that Venger has NO horn and that his "horn" is, in fact, an anomalous bony growth caused by a congenital condition? If we embrace and celebrate our differences, there would be a lot less Evil out there. ;)

    What is it that makes goblinoids different from non-goblinoids?

    From a GM standpoint, RAW, you are only required to do the funny screechy voice for goblins, not non-goblinoids.

    Ms Marvel trailer

    Yeah. It's really annoying when Marvel tries to engage audiences that aren't always placed front and center in every single other movie. A girl superhero? Ugh... And she's a POC? Like I would ever care about that. And she's Muslim too?! Great... they're probably going to shove the whole...

    Max number of days you can provision for?

    Eat enough hardtack and you take -1 to your Persuasion and Intimidation checks. It's hard to convince someone to see your way of thinking when you don't have any teeth left. On the other hand, you can use hardtack as a hammer or as sling ammunition.

    Live Music: What Are Your 5 Most Unforgettable Concerts?

    WHFS was a great alternative radio station here in DC back in the 90s. They ran this festival every year for a bit over a decade. Bennett was unbilled. During the day, there was a rumor that he was going to open for The Ramones. LOLOLOL. Yeah right. Tony Bennett is going to open for The...

    Live Music: What Are Your 5 Most Unforgettable Concerts?

    5. 3 Floors of Ska (Knitting Factory): The headliner was The Specials. Also playing were the Boss-Tones, Mustard Plug, Hub City Stompers, and Westbound Train. I drank about a dozen Red Stripes, danced for about 4 hours, and couldn't move for two days. 4. Les Paul (The Iridium): Worth every...

    Your "Unique" Expressions

    "Well there's your problem." Because I'm the one in the house fixing and/or solving things. And my daughters each now say it too.

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    This episode, along with 3 of the others, was directed by Robert Rodriguez. Arguably, he is an auteur director. That said, he likely has to work within Filoni's and Favreau's vision and certainly within Disney's parameters. But he likely had a bit of latitude. The problem with Rodriguez is...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Yes. And I don't seem to have any recollection of that, Senator, and it all depends on what your definition of "is" is.

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Luke is told that by an inveterate liar. Obi-Wan also said he didn't know Artoo.

    I will never forget the wisest words ever uttered as pertains to Star Wars:

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Finale thoughts: Terrible. Just terrible. Robert Rodriguez should not direct Star Wars. The strongest point, again, was Cad Bane, a longtime baddie, and he didn't deserve the short shrift given. The weakest point, again, was the Mods. Every shot they were in seemed that much cheaper...

    WotC WotC Makes Over $1B In 2021!

    The problem is changing over systems that are relied on by hundreds of millions of people on a daily basis. For example, right now, DOD is doing maintenance on the Active Duty lookup webpage. Meaning it cannot reliably be accessed. Why would that be important? Because in many jurisdictions...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    What I loved about BoBF Ep 6 were the parts that weren't just nostalgia. The Cobb Vanth bookends were amazing to watch. Similarly, the cameo I enjoyed the most in Ep 5 was BD-1. To quote Kylo Ren, let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

    So the spoiler of the week is that... It will be interesting to see whether this will turn out to be true.

    WotC WotC Makes Over $1B In 2021!

    I still have a fax machine (though it's internet-based). I last worked at an office that used WP in 2013. And several of the proprietary programs I use DOS terminal instances.

    Yes. That's not the Max Rebo Band. It's the Max Rebo Cover Band.
