    Max number of days you can provision for?

    The problem with using Pemmican as a measurement. If you eat salted meat as your only meal for more than three days, your gut is going to let you know by a) horrible constipation b) irritable bowels c) intestinal cramping d) all of the above e) hypoxia of the intestines. The longer you go...

    D&D General Obscure one hit wonder monsters

    Deamons. Yugoloth were supposed to replace them but they never quite had the 'charm'. I mean Anthtraxus the Diseased was just sooo cool.

    D&D General Hasbro activist begins proxy fight, urges Dungeons & Dragons spinoff

    Okay so there is a limit to my knowledge, but, look at it this way. Hasbro has bought every major US gaming and toy company over the last 40 years. Hasbro currently owns the licenses for Hasbro, Milton Bradley, Avalon Hill, Ideal, Kenner, Marx, Mattel, Wizards of the Coast amd several others...

    Defining Religions in Your Campaign

    I never use real world religions as part of my game, however, if I am using a regional/national INSPIRED setting I always reiterate, this setting is inspired by but does NOT recreate or represent a real world religion and is a fantasy representation. Yeah it's kind of like a Surgeon General's...

    D&D General worst (real) advice for DMs

    I concur, we once had a cat that a fiend when it came to jumping on the table and rolling nat 20s. The party made him a mute fighter named Sir Slays-A-Lot. He lived up to the name.

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons-Inspired Musical Announced For This Summer

    As someone that lived through the Satanic Panic in the 80s. I would say it was somewhere dur8ng the 3e/3.5 rebirth. I watched attendance at GenCon go from roughly 15k in 2007 to roughly 40k in 2014.. I believe the attendance in 2017 was close to 58k. THAT's an incedible amount of growth...

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons-Inspired Musical Announced For This Summer

    LMAO No, but it is socially acceptable. And that is my point, we are no longer pimply faced, Coke bottle bottom glasses wearing, Satan worshipping, virgins. I mean sure, there are some of those, but there are actually....GIRLS that play D&D. lol.

    D&D General Running D&D Games for "Non-Gamers"... your experiences?

    It depends. Usually, if I know I'm running for non-players I tend to give them the 69 cent version of the game. Pre-rolled characters, and a mini dungeon. Kind of like a con style game. And then do Q&A afterwards to gauge interest. On the other hand, I was running a group of VIP wives in...

    D&D General When did the DM screen appear?

    It was the cons that kind of pushed the idea of a 'portable' screen into the thought stream. Doors, sheets, hiding under the table, etc. was just silly and if memory serves someone saw a random table where the DM basically just built a 'wall from the open books' and it was like, HEY!!! No I...

    D&D 5E (2024) What would your ideal rest mechanic look like?

    The idea that a rest 'mechanic' was put i to the rules at all still makes me cringe. If you were going to stat out a 24 hour period you needed 8 hours sleep for the mage + 4 hours spell prep (12 hours) and then 12 hours of travel/ explore/ etc. And hope to hell that that 12 hour rest period...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there a general theory of party construction?

    I remember running with a party of 5 clerics as the only thief in 1e. We were damn near unstoppable. Clerics could wear any armor, heal, turn undead, ward and had good hp, saves and combat abilities. I took care of the clandestine activities and they kept me alive long enough to get wand and...

    D&D General What version of the Basic D&D/BECMI starter set did you first own?

    Imagine playing with just 6-siders (my first three sessions) But that's what imagination was for. Moldvay was the first version I played (and ordered) but I got the Metzger version when it arrived. (It was a prize from the Olympic Sales Club for those that remember that fine org.) I got that...

    If it's "crunch" that you want, where do you want it and why?

    Why would you stop listening to the Eagles? One of the few bands with talent. But, your example is pretty spot on. Rolemaster had so many charts and tables for combat that it took a slide rule, ENIAC, and an entire accounting firm to properly run. (not really but still). And the more books...

    Why do Americans pronounce centaurs "centars"???

    So, this got me thinking... Do you pronounce Alpha Centauri al-FHA kehn-TOORI? Legitimate question. Because I've always heard it as al-FAH SEHN-tah-ree in all the programs and lectures.

    Metal School

    Stevie T. has been doing a whole series on Metal from different countries on his YouTube channel. Bloodywood was the first band, Voice of Boceprot is pretty good (Danny you're gonna love the solo). But I highly suggest you check them out.
