    D&D 5E (2014) Is D&D 90% Combat?

    Since 3e...yes. 1e and 2e was more role-play friendly due to the rules light(er) format..... Of course that also meant it was rife with possibility for abuse...

    D&D 5E (2014) Take Out Hit Points and Replace It With... (wild ideas thread)

    I'm going to take a lot of flak for this but.... Vodka shots. Combat becomes much less desirable the second time you wake up with a hangover after game session. Just saying.

    D&D 5E (2014) Empowering Races

    I find the best way to empower the different races are solar panels.... What?

    D&D General How many mechanical features does a race need to feel "right"?

    My last campaign I wrote a whole character creation book that essentially separated racial bonuses into two categories: things that are included because of biology (darkvision, size, etc) and things that included because of culture (weapon preferences, racial dislikes, etc) Kept the first group...

    D&D 5E (2014) Goblinoids in D&D 5e: Their Origin, Story, and Tragedy (+)

    So first let me say, great summation. Your info is well researched, well formatted and thoughtfully presented and a great resource for anyone who is running ethos as written. Second, it's completely useless to someone like me, as are all the arguments that all (insert race) are...

    D&D General worst (real) advice for DMs

    One thing to remember, extremists are rarely standing on a pulpit screaming at the top of their lungs their hate. Oh, sure the most infamous ones do, but the majority are more....sly. A little comment here, a remark there. Of course once a person has their mind set, the Mandela Effect can be...

    Kamila Valieva - Olympic Figure Skating

    Not exactly, the last Olympic games had 26 teams, the teams this year were most likely affected by the two year COVID absence. This Winter games are light in participants in most sports.

    D&D General Fanatics & Zealots: How to Use Extremism in Antagonists and Villains in Your Campaigns (+)

    Extremism is always a touchy subject and in the current climate of anything that may be seen as slightly offensive (not discounting those that are very offensive) makes this a mine field that many are going to just completely steer clear of... Which is a shame, because it's a trope of...

    Kamila Valieva - Olympic Figure Skating

    Yeah, except the player's association and the owner's collective wanted to garner exclusive merchandising rights but wanted the individual countries to pay for everything (my personal opinion is COVID was a false flag) I would say it's almost guaranteed that it's over as a thing, but who knows?

    D&D 5E (2014) Doctors & Daleks - Cubicle 7 Brings Doctor Who to D&D 5E

    There is an old joke that makes its rounds at cons. What does every games designer say daily?? You want fries with that?

    Kamila Valieva - Olympic Figure Skating

    That has, for the most part, disappeared. The problem was back in the day when you had the CCCP their state program could 'consistently' beat the pros from around the world. Now the only sport that really has pros still competing is Basketball, because unlike other sports, the professional...

    New Kelvin Timeline Star Trek film goes into production late 2022

    I honestly was shocked when I read this posted elsewhere. Given the last time another movie was floated it lost funding and the actors walked away over pay disputes. I can't say it WON'T be made, but until it's finished I wouldn't hold my breath either. Call it a gut feeling. Also, the still...

    Which is funny because Curling is the one sport that has expanded the Olympic games to athletes outside of the standard. Last Games there was a 61 yo athlete on the ice in Curling. Frankly I'd rather see the X-games crap removed.

    Kamila Valieva - Olympic Figure Skating

    @Snarf Zagyg has the right of it here. The CSA said she should be allowed to compete due to the mental strain it might put on her.... If you watched her epic breakdown AFTER she lost, I would say an upheld suspension would have been a more positive mental state for her to process. Unlike...
