    D&D General D&D Book Prices Are Going Up

    Ok, I have no idea what you are talking about. At no point did I say Amazon workers are asked to carry firearms or any of the other strawmen you introduced into your argument. I recommend you go back and reread your post and my response. The topic was wages and that is what I addressed. Since...

    D&D General D&D Book Prices Are Going Up

    What's the housing situation like if you earn $36k/year? Can you afford food, regular doctors/dentists visits (let alone an emergency), a social life and whatever else qualifies as a basic standard of living on that wage?

    D&D General D&D Book Prices Are Going Up

    Actually, it should tell us as much about what a teacher makes as it does an Amazon employee. Crap wages are crap wages regardless of the job. I have friend who is currently working in an Amazon warehouse and, based on prior conversations with him, I think he would disagree with the premise that...

    Streaming Services: First 2023 POWER RANKINGS (And what's up with Prime?)

    I'm guessing it has more to do with paying residuals than a tax break but I could be way off base.

    Wow, that David Zaslav guy sure is popular. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/david-zaslav-booed-boston-university-graduation-writers-strike-1235497440/

    D&D General Deep Thoughts on AI- The Rise of DM 9000

    The voices seem a bit off but it's certainly interesting.

    And stray from the MCU formula? Blasphemy!! ;)

    He did but I think whacking someone with your lute is really stretching what a weapon should be.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    I enjoyed the movie but was baffled why Pine's character never had a weapon.

    Which of these six is the best H.P. Lovecraft story?

    It's been so long since I read them but I went with The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I remember loving that story

    Comedy and comedians…

    I don't watch much comedy but recently I have watched a bunch of Ricky Gervais. Hysterical!

    It's time to make fetch happen: Barbie Teaser 2, Now With More Gosling

    I never would have thought I would have any desire to see this movie but it looks like a riot. I won't see it in theaters, but I will see it.

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    Luckily, I have Oreos and I believe I shall have some soon. :) As I said in my prior post, we obviously are defining our terms differently and since that's the case this will just become a circular discussion (well, already has). I'll bow out instead of continuing, and if you get your hands on...

    WotC may have sent the Pinkertons to a magic leakers home. Update: WotC confirms it and has a response.

    Sorry Snarf, you are usually pretty good at adding nuance to the topics you engage in on these boards but here, in part, you failed on that front. You give a brief summary of The Pinkertons, even if it started a bit snarky, which does help to add some history to the conversation (did you Google...

    WotC may have sent the Pinkertons to a magic leakers home. Update: WotC confirms it and has a response.

    "I apologize for sending people to your home to intimidate you and to demand you return something that you didn't steal. You should just be grateful we didn't choose a more civilized, polite manner of contacting you and straightening this out with a conversation first because man, polite...

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    Obviously, we have different definition of cookie cutter, and I think yours is also different than the poster you originally responded to about this. If there are two wizards in my campaign and one has a 16 intelligence and the other an 18 intelligence then assuming each is the character's...

    I think you are really bending the intended meaning of "cookie cutter".

    What?!?! You're saying people talk past each other on the internet. That's just crazy! ;)

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    There may be a semantic difference between unlucky and unfair but I doubt many younger players, and some older, are going to look at it with that level of nuance. Player A will just see that his highest roll is a 15 and Player B has a 16 and an 18 and feel like it's unfair. In the end it is...
