    D&D General Who was your first character, and do you still play them?

    Back in '99-'00 I was a kid playing EverQuest on my older brother's account. I played a Woodelf Druid named Panzan. He made it to level 14 or so, because I was bad at the game, and as a kid venturing into higher level zones scared me. Panzan existed in EQ2 as a WoodElf Ranger through much of...

    Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Machine Announced

    Last fall my girlfriend and I took a weekend trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan and there's a bar there called The Pyramid Scheme we visited. They had probably two dozen pinball machines, and we played a few and had a couple drinks. I was kind of surprised by a John Wick machine, and my first...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    So I just spent a while reading over a dozen pages in a thread. A thread chocked full of people fighting both for and against pineapple, and it's place on pizza. I was going to write a reply there, but felt that it didn't really add anything of value to the thread, so I didn't.. Then I came...

    WHAMMAGEDDON 2024

    That's super impressive.. I haven't worked in retail in years, and I'm only now beginning to feel like I've healed to the point where I can enjoy listening to Christmas music again.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My girlfriend is a voracious reader. She's the kind of person who will read multiple books at the same time, bouncing back and forth between them. Books take up a lot of space. We've got some Ikea bookshelves.. The big 4x4 cube shelf, you know the one.. Is totally full. Like books are double...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The girlfriend and I went to a new dinner spot over the weekend. The place describes themselves as a "Whiskey Park"... Unsure of what that means. It was one of those spots that's essentially a sports bar, but they're trying appear more upscale than a sports bar. Regardless, we got some pizza...

    Spoilers Wicked Thoughts and Reviews

    I enjoyed it. My girlfriend enjoyed it a lot, which is what really mattered. She's been hyped for this for a very long time now. I've never seen the musical or read the book (Though when I was in high school, our 10th grade marching band show was Wicked, so I knew a lot of a music going into...

    Did the nerds win?

    I'm going to go out on a Positive/Glass-Half-Full limb here. I think the nerds did win.. And by extension so did many others. I think Parmandur is on to something here. The internet made the world much, much smaller. I was talking to my family about this recently, but the negative side of it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Say hi to Snarf for us if you run into him on EN World Vacation.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Dredd 2012 was stellar. It does remind me a lot of The Raid as well.. Which now that you've brought it up I really want to watch it again.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I just got a text message from a friend. His sister is an artist and did a kickstarter for these cute pins that look like ghosts made out of food. I backed it over the summer and totally forgot about it. Apparently I didn't get the email for the final information update and she couldn't ship...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    This is rad.. I don't have a 4K blu-ray player but I may have to invest in one for this. Demolition Man is a movie that holds a special place in my heart. I was a young teen in the mid-late 2000's and I randomly caught it on TV. Stayed up really late to watch this movie.. I think it might be...

    Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K Show Is Happening

    That's honestly been the biggest turn off for me.. I don't like painting. And I know myself. I'd get ADHD brained about it, and spend 48 hours straight painting half the army, and then the hyperfocus would wear off and I wouldn't touch them again. I got a bye round the other night at Magic so...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    I do think leaning into the Princess thread is probably the way to go. Originally I had an idea of the Princess already being in possession of a stone, but I like the idea of her having ulterior motives for her trip. The Charisma stone would be a good choice too. Side question, what color makes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    I don't think it's burnout.. I'm enjoying DMing, and I'm looking forward to getting to play together again. I'm just a loss for where to go. With that said, we are looking forward to the new Baldur's Gate update with cross-play so we can all play together.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    This is a good idea. One of my players has offered to run a one-shot that they say should only take 60-90 minutes. Maybe we'll get together and play that, and then either before or after, we can have a session 0.2 where we level up the characters to 5, or anyone has the opportunity to re-roll...

    Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40K Show Is Happening

    Warhammer is one of those games that I've always wanted to get into, but just struggle to commit to. I already spend enough money on Magic: The Gathering.. And these minis aren't cheap. That's also only considering the monetary investment. I don't really have the time, nor the desire to get into...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    I'm posting this under D&D 5e, as that's what we play.. But this could largely be in the general TTRPG thread. My group have kind of been on Hiatus, due to the holidays, family obligations, and what not. Everyone has been itching to get back to the table, and I think we're hoping to get to it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's weird. I had some major gastro issues several years ago, and I've had a colonoscopy, and a few endoscopies. There was one time where I didn't actually fully lose consciousness. That was pretty miserable. But generally you go down, and wake up pretty easily. Feel a little groggy after but...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Weird sodas are hard to come by. Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, Ohio is a good stop. I think there are other locations as well. I was in Indianapolis and they had a shop called Rocket Fizz.. Looking at their site they're a franchise.. So you could be the change you want to see in the world.
