    DDAL Polymorph and drop monster into a pickle jar.

    Pickle jars are an excellent, short term method of carrying polymorphed monsters around. It delays your problem for an hour, and makes for a very interesting mine / time bomb. Eventually, however, you are going to have a 25 liter creature in a half liter jar. This ends poorly for the jar, and...

    D&D General 7 Golden Rules of Dungeon Master Etiquette

    I concur that this is a well done list! I have quibbles, but they're only quibbles, and reflect more my and my group's style than any substantial error. Well done!

    Suspension of disbelief and education

    After we watch something medical, my son likes to turn to me and ask "how much of that was technobabble and how much real"? He likes to guess how much of reality is bent or discarded to make the story work.

    Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

    Excellent question! I found the character development scenes between the time twins trite. After the first couple of scenes I fast-forwarded until there was interaction with any other character or some action. Based on earlier in the movie, I predicted that certain scenes weren't going to be...

    Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

    So, today, I watch The Flash. Had to fast forward through some parts, not good. And then we get to the scene where the giant Kryptonian is smacking soldiers four at a time with the find side of a missile. Just like Sauron. And, then, all the other movies that I happened to see that Rebel Moon...

    DnD while married/relationship - any advice

    If your spouse doesn't game, Have them understand the time commitment. Give them space so they can engage in their own hobby with the same time commitment. Clean up after yourselves so you don't impose. Pay attention to them so they don't feel neglected. (Had to tell a couple friends this...

    Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

    As time goes on I am noticing the trend of movies becoming collections of interesting, even compelling, scenes. These scenes are strung together in a narrative which would capture interest if the scenes were coherently tied together. But, they're not. The robot guard is very interesting. Their...

    What Should the Bard Be?

    For me, bards are the masters of communication. They can bring communities together or tear them apart. They can make deals that must be honored. As a very important byproduct of that, the have phenomenal memories and retain with great fidelity information stored as poems, songs, even paintings...

    D&D General One Less Warlock

    I am so sorry for your loss. I have almost lost two of my children, one from disease, the other depression. Terrible texts sent and received, chilling words from physicians. I don't know the loss, but I have known the fear of it. I am so sorry.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is animate dead considered inherently evil?

    Much like Slytherin house isn't evil, but all the dark wizards have come from Slytherin house. As far as myth and legend concerning the innate evil of animating dead, you have the zombi myth of Haiti. The malevolent bokor, magicians, create them to use as their personal slaves. There is also a...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    He mailed feces to Tenkar?! Being mentioned in a legal communication, and footnoted, I guess it's true, but I'm still incredulous. I can't believe someone would do something so petty and stupid when you have legal action against ... the recipient of the package. He's running out of feet to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is animate dead considered inherently evil?

    That's a modern mindset. Which is fine, we're modern people. And you can change the rules however you please, that's the great thing about this game.
