It sounds like a tough spot. On one hand, it's good that it seems like you know exactly what you want. I don't think there's anything wrong with opting to not settle for anything less.. You've already realized the downside to that however.. The alternative to not settling.. Is to just not...

I want to preface this by saying I'm a poor movie critic. The bar a movie has to clear for me to say I enjoyed it, is very, very low. I've seen quite a few movies, and there have only been one or two occasions where I've walked out of a theater wishing I had chosen to spend my afternoon...

I know you said you're not looking for feedback, but I'm glad you posted this. I'm a newer DM, and I really like to try and analyze my sessions as well.. Look for lessons to learn from and what not. So I'm going to reply to some of the stuff you wrote about mostly as an exercise for myself, but...

When it comes to business, even though it usually starts out this way... Owner's typically don't want to be the ones running the day-to-day operations forever. The goal is to build something that is relatively self sufficient so that you are able to sit back, and enjoy the fruits of your labor...

Perfect. I hope the fighter's new nemesis continues to show up. Splash damage is fun though.. Maybe give it a %chance to splash for half damage?

Supposedly guys like Gygax and Arneson would sit behind filing cabinets or full body screens when they ran games. The first time I ran my current game I sat at a smaller, separate card table than my players because I was using a laptop and a TV to display maps and images and stuff.. It was...

Your table looks like a blast to play at. I love props. What's with the floppy discs? I'm using the Dungeon one. I really like the art on it. Some of the tables are neat, and beneficial for describing rooms you might not have been prepared for.

I'm not too sure about that.. Just from the fact that WOTC is really... Really bad at expanding on these sorts of things. They have been apparently trying, and failing to get some sort of MTG movie or show off the ground for years. The D&D Movie, Baldur's Gate 3, Descent into Avernus, and...

I don't have any problems with admitting I'm wrong... But I'll be darned if I let some punk on the internet know that I think they could be right!!!!

Kind of... There was a point in time where they were print-to-order. So they put up the listing for one month or whatever and any number of people could order a set, and then a couple weeks/months later they would ship. It was very much like Kickstarter or other crowdfunding then. They've since...

I like this site, a lot.. I feel like we have a lot of good discussion here, and I also love that it seems to be populated by a lot of people who run games, and not just play them. I have learned so much in my time reading/posting here, and I feel like my games have gotten a lot better from...

Agreed. I've never felt the desire to mix muskets or other black powder weapons with my wizards and dragons. I'd much prefer to play a modern or sci-fi game where guns are more fitting, rather than shoe-horn guns into fantasy land.

I have actually.. I've been considering it a lot lately! I love Professor DM's videos about terrain craft, but I'm not sure if I'd ever dedicate that much work to something. I'm far too lazy. JP Coovert also did a video recently about a homemade screen, and I'm thinking about that. He just...

Yeah.. The first one I purchased had pockets so I could insert my own information. I never thought of anything to put in there though. I don't know what information I really want on the DM screen. I have a page in my binder dedicated to names, and perhaps that's something I'd put on there, but...

I love the idea of a DM screen.. Just the image of the classic Dungeon Master, looking out at their table from behind the screen.. All of their secrets stored just out of sight. When I started running my game I purchased a portrait one, but I felt like it was too big.. Too in the way. So I...

You can make room for Michigan too right? I mean we're practically there already. We got the bridge on our license plates and everything. It was really a blast. It was like slipping back in time. We were joking and chatting just like normal. You'd think I'd had only been away a month.. and not 14.

Yeah, Limited has become my favorite way to play MTG these days. I've found a really nice LGS where I live now and I've gone for several events. I always have a blast at pre-release or other limited events, but EDH night tends to be a crapshoot. I find that I tend to perform better at sealed...

Had a nice weekend. A little over a year ago I moved away from my home state to an adjacent one. While I've been able to get a D&D game going with some of my new friends which has been wonderful, I haven't had much luck finding a new play group for Magic: The Gathering. Back home I had a...

I think my spelling ability has only gotten worse as time has gone on. People often joke about how they'd be embarrassed for people to see their search history after their death. I would be too, because 90% of my search queries are words like "restaurant" to check the spelling.

I was always a fan of the "Complete" series books.. Or maybe they could call them "Expanded" I'm not sure what the best option is. I can see the problem in having books 2, 3 etc. It can be a turn off for a new player. When they go to buy the PHB, and see there is a second, or even third one...
