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

    But that assumes there's a case that needs to be put forth at all. What should she care about the feelings of a bunch of nerds carrying on and fighting issues from the last century? The misinformation spread around by the Gary loyalists and rumormongering gamers is taking up less and less of the...

    How Much Do You Care About Form Factor/Book Size?

    I'm pretty size agnostic as long as they aren't too big and heavy. PF1's Core Rulebook was a lot to lug around so I thank them for being PDF-pushers so I could put it on my much lighter iPad. I don't want to haul a coffee table book around just to game.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is it possible to balance the six abilities?

    I don't think the idea should be to link a mental with a physical, per se. Rather, they can be paired as offense vs defense. Like so: PhysicalPrecisionMental Offensive AbilitiesSTRENGTHINTELLIGENCECHARISMA Defensive AbilitiesCONSTITUTIONDEXTERITYWISDOM The defensive abilities are used...

    GMing Mistakes You’ve Made in the Past

    Yeah, fool for trusting your players to handle things in good faith rather than take advantage of your mistake. You may look back on this as being a bit cringey, but your players were the ones who were dicks.

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    And I wouldn’t rule out the social pressure of expectations they would do something to recognize the 50th anniversary.

    Virginia Giuffre, 41, accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (whom she met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago private club) for sex trafficking, has died by suicide in Australia. Virginia Giuffre, who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, dies aged 41

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's easy enough to adapt the toxic waste:New Jersey: : lawyers:California joke... Why does Australia have the worst venomous animals and Britain have the worst TERFs? Australia chose first. Only a smidge more seriously, that wouldn't be a bad idea (particularly since the food has gotten a lot...

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    So.... the kids today are like us? I mean how many of us older people like current hit music the same way we did with the music we listened to when we were kids? How many of us feel that the version of Scooby Doo we watched as kids was better than later versions? It's all the same generational...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    I think that's part of the point. There are many levels at which gears are turning to bring us to the Rebel Alliance - and there are points at which they intersect such as Cassian Andor himself. Some are quietly but achingly turning in the halls of privilege like the Mothma estate on Chandrila...

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    I think there's substantial backward compatibility and I think it was a worthwhile goal. I'm currently running two games with 2024 rules and PC classes/subclasses but 2014-based adventures. I'm using updated monster stats from the 2024 Monster Manual. Things are working just fine. It's just a...

    D&D 5E (2024) What would Olive Ruskettle's class be in 2024?

    For all the fuss they went through back in the day to deny her being technically a bard but her calling herself a bard... why not just make her a bard?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I do have more people on my ignore list these days. I find there are some people who get on my nerves a lot faster now than, oh, say, a decade ago before ... <waves his hands around at "all this">

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps | New Official Trailer

    Maybe they're going for that Jack Paar end of the talk show spectrum rather than Dick Cavett?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Just checked in on one of those threads (you know the ones). I have my settings configured to show me 20 posts per page and there were only 3 visible to me. Yep, glad I'm not following that thread.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 - Do magic weapons bypass resistance now?

    I can see what you're getting at here - you don't want to present the PCs with a challenge that can't be overcome. But I also agree with jgsugden here: If the only solution your players (or you) can think of is an appropriate weapon for ablating hit points faster (or at all), then you've got a...
