As a Ravenloft (and fantasy horror) fan, this peaks my interest.

Thing I always remembered about our 3e games and the rules was that you could Take 10 or Take 20, and unless the DC was extremely high or you were actively in combat, you'd likely succeed. But that whole take 20 thing kind of meant figuring out DCs felt like a moot point.

Oooh, deep cut. I like it.

Every time I read that guy’s stuff now, I’m expecting him to wind it up by saying “Now that I’ve laid out the problem…Here’s the kickstarter for my new game!” On another note, it’s very weird to talk about generations of games and not give any specific examples. Like someone mentioned upthread...

I’ve done that recipe too. Love Ethan’s videos!

Man, I’m sorry. Family fights can be the absolute worst.

Poutine is its own thing, imo. Like yeah the fries are important but all the other ingredients have to click as well.

Yeah, I was really talking about the curly fries. I mean, as far as true fast food restaurants go, their curly fries are pretty good.

Arby’s fries are so damn good, not gonna lie.

I'm stunned that steak fries are getting that many votes.

For me, it’s the original though I wouldn’t say no to a nice batch of sweet potato fries or curly fries. Steak fries are probably my least favorite due to their thickness - I find they can be mushy and more likely to be underseasoned.

It’s kind of cool how so many different cultures and cuisines out there have agreed that breading and deep frying a piece of meat is really damn delicious. Chicken Fried Steak, Milanese, Milanesa, Schnitzel, Katsu - I think almost everywhere has some variation on this dish.

Salt is usually not a problem with fast food burger places. I can see restaurants like a Denny’s or something halfassing a burger.

Yeah, more surface area exposed to the oil.

Oh yikes! When I’ve made them at home, I usually use a combo of black beans, bell peppers and onions as the base with breadcrumbs as a filler, and they turn out pretty good. And I do love a good portobello burger as well.

This has been my experience with 5e. Healing mid combat is at best a neutral type of action because of the likelihood that the creature damaging you is going to at least do an equal amount of damage as you healed. Pressing the fight and trying to end it outright or fleeing to escape always tends...

Mmmmmm...veggie burgers!

To me, that fails to meet my criteria that a power to nearly perma-kill a character should be an exception, not a rule, i.e. used sparingly. Having multiple soldiers possessing similar weapons with that power and limiting access to them, no matter the justification, rubs me the wrong way.

And I’m only talking about within the circle of folks I know who saw it, so I know that’s a limited subset but one I generally trust. I was on the fence - I still haven’t seen it so I’ll see for myself. I know I didn’t like Brave New World for sure.

I’ve heard it was good but also not quite in keeping with the hyperbole.
