    Can't really argue, and I like The Doors. Most of Morrison's lyrics are high school poetry level. He's still iconic - what a frontman!

    D&D General 1e feel for 5E

    That sounds about right. I think the main appeal was that you got to roll lots of dice!

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Speed paints for the base with a bit of highlighting and dry brushing after.

    D&D General 1e feel for 5E

    1e recommended FOUR methods: My group sometimes used method I, and more often method III.

    D&D General 1e feel for 5E

    We did that in 1e - that was a pretty common practice. If you're really going to make it like 1e, the party has to have a ton of hirelings. Basically, minions you can hire for cheap that will do anything you ask without question. That's how so many of our 1e characters survived to have long...

    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    It’s a good movie but far from the best of that year or Scorsese’s career. But AMPAS likes to recognize icons that have been overlooked, so it was a good excuse to get Marty his Oscar. Not to mention all the heavy hitters in the cast out there lobbying for it. Kinda like Dicaprio for The...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    Except...as far as I can make out, that experiment is about seeing if people would recognize Henry Cavill the actor, not if putting on a pair of glasses will prevent people who know you extremely well from recognizing you. I only wear my glasses some of the time, but I've never put them on and...

    The Bondsman (Prime)

    Not as unhinged, but yeah.

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    Yeah, you're right. Still, I would like it, if only for cultural reasons - would make traveling a lot easier. Now if only we could adopt EU attitudes towards public transit... The downside is that means higher prices, almost for sure. Significantly so, most likely. It's hard to see any way out...

    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    Yeah, I think it was more this - as the podcast makes clear, Gygax seemed oblivious to the idea that he could ever lose control of TSR...which is why he eventually lost control of TSR. Still deceptive, and I'm definitely not defending him on this, but I think in his personal narrative it was not...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Last chance to back: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/archon-studio/dnl7-porthaven I'm a huge fan of their work, and they always overdeliver, on or ahead of schedule.

    Last Chance for Dungeon and Laser's "Porthaven" KS

    For miniature collectors and painters: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/archon-studio/dnl7-porthaven It's been very successful and is now in "overtime," which means you can still back and get a pretty sweet set of stretch goals - I am buying two core sets which, with SGs is well under a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Stealth Errata

    Yeah, having the word "invisible" in there still needlessly complicates things.

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Hmmm...I think it kind of depends on your job. I do kind of think of teachers a subculture, and I suspect that's true of quite a few professions. My dad and father-in-law, not to mention my spouse, for a time, were fisherfolk, and that is very much a definable subculture, IMO!

    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    Everyone is the hero of their own story. His attitude seems to have been that the basic concepts all came from him, so all those other creators were essentially riffing on what he gave them, which put him in a different category of creative ownership. The Arneson situation obviously complicates...

    D&D 5E (2024) Stealth Errata

    Yeah, they should just add "hidden" as a sub-condition to invisible, and then just refer to "hidden" in the text, so it reads intuitively. This is why emphasizing natural language rather than creating key words/jargon is a better approach! Me, I just basically ignore the RAW for stealth and...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    Glad to see they are following through on this, now that the three core books are published. It's a vital resource for 3PP.

    Me either. It’s just donuts and cheap coffee.

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    Wait...that was the season finale? Man...that sucks. How long until season 2? Great to see Karen Page back! And Punisher, obviously (though his plan wasn't exactly the best). I hope season 2 brings back Jessica Jones. She'd fit in.
