Marsh also gets a bit short changed for his contribution to TSR's Marvel Superheroes RPG. Interviews with Jeff Grubb show how instrumental Marsh was in taking Grubb's design, refining it, and presenting it in a really clear way. Indeed, Grubb has credited him as basically a coauthor. The...

Offhand, my tops are probably pretty typical for the milieu: The Shining, Alien, and The Thing. That said, my favorite at the moment might be Us. I know it doesn't get the love Get Out does, and I'm puzzled by that. I find it to be a deeply disturbing movie with its own dream logic. That is, I...

I enjoyed Champions in 2014. I assume I'd enjoy the 2024 version.

I've liked that one in the TSR-era editions where leveling largely requires double the last level's XP. For example, a 4th level Fighter (who needed 8,000 xp to get to 4th) going to 5th level would have to gain 8,000 xp more for 16,000. To get to 6th, he'd need to reach 32,000. This has the...

This was the QUICKIEST response to Ugandan death magic I've ever seen. Well done.

Probably somewhere in Cormyr? It's civilized, has a strong sense of order and a strong military without being overly autocratic. Arabel or Suzail, perhaps?

I need to talk my wife into letting me do this. I'd like to imagine playing Skyrim and getting my cardio in. I'm just as likely to injure myself in the doing, though.

The timing of this reply is Uncanny (15) for me. While I've been unimpressed with my read through of the MMRPG, I literally told a friend the other day that I feel like I need to watch a session to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the recommendation! :D

Younger. I was in that sort of second wave of 80s kids that hopped on with the Mentzer box set and only tasted 1e for a hot minute before 2e was released.

I'm winding down a "cut," having dropped 11 pounds in the last ~2 months. I have one more week on it to get to my goal body fat percentage. That coincides with a "deload" I'm taking on my training to get my elbows, knees, and shoulders to heal up a bit. Then I'm on to a slight (~200/day) caloric...

I've never had a gym with one before, and I've heard great things. As a Man of a Certain Age, it would be nice to try. :P

I'm deeply curious how you feel about it. Seriously.

10kg is awesome!!! Great work!

Thread necromancy time: How's everyone's routines and dieting regimens going? How did the summer work out (har har) for you?

A million times this. The natural fit for a Barbarian is probably Guide, which is the closest thing to Outlander in this version. And it's a terrible fit: no Strength bump and Magic Initiate may not work for someone who doesn't want magic as part of their character. Do you want your Fighter to...

I suppose I can see the merit of both approaches (let them rest vs. limit rests). I'm just a bit tripped up because I don't recall in the 2014 PHB a mechanic for recharging some--but not all--of an ability on a Short Rest. I believe the new Druid has something similar with Wild Shape. If you...

"You can use this class’s Channel Divinity twice. You regain one of its expended uses when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain additional uses when you reach certain Cleric levels, as shown in the Channel Divinity column of the Cleric...

I enjoyed M&M 2e, but as I got older, I found it to be crunchier than I like. Steve Kenson is a S tier designer, though, so when he put out Icons: Assembled, I was all over it. It's become my go-to for supers: it really marries a lot of what I like best about M&M with a skeleton that is clearly...

You've all ruined me.
