I know the rules on all of the odd-numbered pages, but not the even-numbered ones.

Always counting as having Leomund's tiny hut prepared means they can always cast it as a ritual - expanding the number of classes who can cast that poorly balanced spell Even better - it's 1d6+cleric level.

Oh, if only it were that simple.

Max Frankel, retired NYT journalist and long-time editor, has died. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-5338006/max-frankel-new-york-times-editor-dead

Maybe he was aiming it at the demographic that's always ragging on "kids today" wanting a softer game?

There's probably some influence of Critical Role and other streamed play games affecting the amount of roleplaying younger players want to do. But my daughter and her friends were doing it on chat servers years before Critical Role debuted. No rules, they'd just get on and role play. They were...

A substantial portion of Italian sausage sold in the US is sold as sausage links. Typically, an Italian sausage and penne dish is going to be made with the links - just more often cut into medallions than whole.

Grotesquery? Italian sausages, peppers, penne, and some Parmesan cheese - a relatively simple meal but darn tasty and hearty. As well as pretty common. Maybe that contrasts a bit with more refined options since it’s so easy to prepare, I guess. But I’d definitely eat it. Good stuff and not a bit...

I met Jeff Easley at Gen Con when it was still held at UW-Parkside. He was signing copies of the Monster Manual II so this must have been 1984(?). So, hell yeah, I backed this Kickstarter.

I am compelled to respond to polls.

Well, I guess that's not a surprising outcome given recent/ongoing events.

A few years after graduating from college, one of our college friends died. He was an avid Civilization/Advanced Civilization player. When a bunch of us got together afterward, we set him up as a non-player Crete, and none of us invaded the island or sent secondary effects of calamities his way...

D&D modules I've run (or played) more than once and the editions in which I did them: The Keep on the Borderlands (Basic, 1e) Return to the Keep on the Borderlands (3e, 5e) Slavelord series (1e, 3e - technically, I ran A1-3 in 1e and played A4) Giant series (1e, 3e) Ravenloft (1e, 2e, 3e) White...

They say there are no stupid questions... except that one. I mean, what were you even thinking with that question?!?

Since we usually find combat in 5e a lot faster than 3e or 4e, I'm going to go with no - it's not particularly tedious nor, of course, intentionally tedious to get people to rely on their APP or VTT.

Oh, most definitely. I had school mates who would rush out after school to try to get the last bit of time for deer hunting in the afternoon before the sun went down (that also meant most of them had rifles in their cars/trucks in the school parking lot). And in the case of the kid who wanted to...

<reads a post response in a thread and scratches head> THAT'S your take away from what was said previously?!? You sure you're reading this thread?

The online game I’m in started during the pandemic and has some inertia driving it. But it is also reasonably convenient because we don’t have to go anywhere and that has become more important since my wife joined the game because she has chronic fatigue from her long COVID. So, definitely a mix...

Alex is posting about it on the Gamehole Facebook page. They had directed Visit Madison to open at noon but the portal opened it early.

If they said noon, they'd have meant Central.
