    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I get that you and Reynard are frustrated but clearly the guy invokes feelings. Calling people immature is not really going to stop them either, not to mention it’s its own form of name calling. Right?

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    Counterpoint: you posted a 35 minute Matt Colville video without any additional commentary. The post is not discussing the ideas of the video - it’s informing people that the video exists. Hence, people will come in and post their thoughts on either the content of the video or their thoughts on...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    The weird thing is that I find his polished videos more like lectures. Very authoritative, very professorial, with a radio commentator kind of bombast to it. It’s not that what he says is something I disagree with - it’s just his approach seems to want someone to argue with him (though when I do...

    Our Physical Fitness

    I think the problem is that YT and Instagram requires the steady stream of content, and at the end of the day, a lot of fitness comes down to: 1) Genetics - not much you can do about it. 2) Effective training - what exercises you're doing, what level of effort. 3) Nutrition - From my...

    Yeah, I watched the whole three hour podcast/video. The first hour was really straightforward stuff, as you said. Then he started talking about his own steroid use and metrics, which I think Attia was kind of shocked by, but for me...I'm not out here trying to be a competitive bodybuilder or...

    Mike Israetel can be funny but he is also way, way out there on some other stuff. I don't know if you listen to any of Peter Attia's stuff, but the show where Israetel was a guest was pretty crazy. I very much have to keep him compartmentalized. I also like Will Tennyson for just the funny...

    D&D General Disease related D&D supplements or adventures?

    Adam's Wrath had a portion of the module dedicated to dealing with a mysterious disease. Also, the mummy adventure in Lords of Darkness (1e product for FR, I think? Maybe 2e.) had a lot of stuff about getting Mummy Rot.

    Big thumbs up for Jeff Nippard's stuff. I've learned a lot from his videos, and his presentation style is just what I want.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I started watching when he was doing his MYMNOS (Movies You May Not Otherwise See) stuff and he streamed, with commentary, the entirety of Casablanca. It took two streams to do it because he was stopping every few minutes or so to break down the scenes, and it was really fascinating and...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I made the mistake of watching some of his Twitch streams for a bit. This video is pretty straightforward.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    He reminds me of my high school English teacher. Man, that dude could act out Shakespeare.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I missing something on 2014 rogue?

    I played a Rogue Swashbuckler to 15th level and there were two times our party had a near TPK with my rogue being the last man standing due to Uncanny Dodge and hiding as a bonus action. If there was a power differential, I never felt it because I was just too busy saving fun.

    It’s this level of ridiculousness that will make this movie a must see. Hopefully.

    D&D General Limiting Utility Cantrips

    Yeah, I find it to be a bad spell as it was written. Why wouldn’t you spam it as much as you can? The concentration and stealth aspects are very situational; there are many, many times that the PCs won’t be in stealth, or needing to worry about concentration. I’m not a fan of spells and...

    D&D General Limiting Utility Cantrips

    Yeah, I actually don’t have an issue with the combat cantrips. I see more issues with the utility cantrips, and really guidance is the biggest culprit for me though I understand that’s been handled in the 5.5 edition nicely.

    On participation trophies

    It also doesn't help that the majority of youth sports leagues are increasingly turning from local leagues into regional travel leagues requiring increasingly high fees to play and "raising the stakes" so to speak for everyone involved - making what should be a time for kids to learn the game...
