    Blog or Newsletter?

    I'm the reverse, preferring weekly-ish to monthly-ish newsletters. I almost never visit a blog unless there's something specific mentioned in a newsletter that catches my eye. So.... Have you considered doing the blog AND sending out a newsletter with a brief recap of whatever you did on the...

    RPG Evolution: The First Nightmare

    Can someone recommend any RPGs that do dreams well, either as a subsystem or as the main focus of the system itself?

    The Ethics of Two Way Ignore

    It's certainly an interesting perspective when a school yard bully says, "That kid ignored me and forced me not to take his lunch money!"

    Reporting suspicious new user bots

    Will do. I'll stick to reporting based on visible behaviors rather than suspicious language. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Reporting suspicious new user bots

    Often when a bot joins, it has a telltale sign that violates TOS (eg, inappropriate links, logos in profile/avatar, hidden links, etc), so it's easy to flag. Yesterday, though, i noticed one join that I'm 99% certain is a bot (gut feeling, based on likely AI gen text), but it hasn't done...

    Trailer Tales of the Shire - Announcement Trailer

    Oh my.... Some enterprising company should make a resource management game focused on running a hobbit kitchen. Stocking, cooking, cleaning during all all the different meals all day, everyday. Feast days, broken crockery, changing seasons, pesky snackers, late deliveries, rampaging party...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    That would revolutionize the whole of modern civilization. And also crash the economy.

    The 10th Level of Hell consists of an infinite dungeon full of nothing but pun-based monsters and traps.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    There could be a [DUEL] tag, wherein each involved poster chooses a faithful second and moves their argument to the mutually named thread at dawn, marches ten paces, turns, and shoots their mouths off.

    Pale Blue Dot, Revisited

    Exactly. I think a focus on insignificance misses the important half of the point. The quote concludes: "To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." Yes, Earth is little, and so...

    D&D General DMs: Do you buy and/or run official adventures?

    I've bought quite a few official adventures across the editions and variants. When I've DMed them, they're almost always heavily modified. I've very often "stolen bits", though such "bits" could range from a single encounter to 90% of the whole adventure.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is RAW on damaging a downed but stabilized creature

    RAW for Death Saving Throws says, "The number of both [successful and missed saves] is reset to zero when you regain any hit points or become stable."

    I see that lemon-licorice cookies are conspicuously absent from that cookie pie chart.

    D&D 5E (2014) Potential Monsters in Quests from the Infinite Staircase Adventures

    To be fair, fruitflies would make perfect sense if found buzzing around the Dessert of Desolation.

    Pale Blue Dot, Revisited

    One of the best scriptures of all time, for all of us. It moves me deeply in ways joyful and sad, every time I read it. Thanks for posting it, it's nice reminder.

    Happy Haggert Hurried Hungry Hitch Hiking Hired Henchmen Hivers.... apply within

    So that's what that was. I thought it was just another little fracking earthquake.

    D&D 5E (2024) How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d?

    I voted 2 for "not very" (assuming 1 means "not at all"). I'm vaguely curious but I don't play much 5e anyway, so it's not too relevant at this point. I'll probably get the core books eventually, but not until a year or more after they release. Tbh, it kindasorta depends on how the nephews'...
