    Not sure it's wise to use Prague's astronomical clock on the cover of a rpg book. It's a major touristic attraction and someone must own the rights to its use. I hope they did their homework. Info on the clock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_astronomical_clock (I've been there. It's...

    Sweet Tooth (Netflix)

    4 episodes so far. It gets darker with each episode. You have to get past the first episode which might seem too 'innocent' to some.

    Black Widow

    You're not general public. You're a 'geek' and a D&D player so you don't qualify. :p

    Black Widow

    As someone who doesn't know who Taskmaster is in comics, the movie is perfectly fine. It was a good twist when revealed. The general public doesn't care if there was a mirror fight or not.

    How do you layer your pizza?

    Thin crust, basil oil, sauce, bacon, mushrooms, marinated artichokes, red and yellow pepper, diced onions, pineapple, no cheese. I've become lactose intolerant over the years. Comes with age apparently.

    The opposite of OSR

    That is exactly how I've been doing it since 1981. We discuss and come to an interpretation that satisfies the table.

    The guy was in his early 30s. He was just lazy.

    The opposite of OSR

    Predictable answer. I don't agree with you on this. Sorry I'm not doing this dance with you. Find another partner.

    D&D General What term or rule really confused you, when you first started playing?

    I didn't understand how attacking and negative AC worked. I couldn't put the pieces of the puzzle together. Luckily I met a guy who knew how to play D&D. What term or rule really confused you, when you first started playing?

    No, spells are not an extra-diegetic resources.

    D&D General Tracy Hickman: The third founder of (modern) D&D?

    No. I would say Frank Mentzer is the third designer since he supplied several additional rules to the B/X system which resulted in the Rules Cyclopedia. The domain and the war machines rules to name a few.

    Games with resource management, like plot points, that modify a scene outside the GM's control.

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    If you type Dark Sun 5e in Google you will find a fan product that does that already.

    Black Widow

    In the rapid image montage of her training I saw a close up of an injection with a liquid that could be super serum.

    D&D General Why defend railroading?

    What you are talking about are roller coasters. It linear, it twists and turns, goes up slowly but goes down at neck breaking pace, giving the participants an exhilarating experience. Participants are trapped, they make no decisions and yet they love it. They keep coming back for better and...

    D&D General Why defend railroading?

    Railroads are great. Many paths are possible contrary to popular belief in the rpg community!

    D&D General When Players Refuse to learn The Rules

    I had a player who hadn't played since 2e. He forgot all the 5e rules between games but remembered the 2e rules and was constantly confused trying to do things the wrong way. After several games I told him to prepare before each game because it wasn't my job to remind him the rules every...
