Some new friends I made have connected me with some other folks who really want to play D&D more often. So tonight I'm running a one-shot, both just for fun and to see if there's potential for a new ongoing group. I'm taking an adventure I created pre-pandemic and adjusting it to be run in a...

For me the top three are: 1) DS9: my favorite Star Trek show. I love the characters, the world building, the big swings, the changing relationships... So good! 2) TNG: the platonic ideal of Star Trek to me. Solving problems through talking and sciencing and empathy! Data is one of the greater...

My theory is that every time someone gets transported, their traumatic memories get cleaned up and sanitized.

I just imagine the Be Our Guest scene from Beauty and the Beast but everything is made of weird flesh.

Back in 3rd Edition we would get incredibly sidetracked talking about the spell Stone to Flesh. "The spell also can convert a mass of stone into a fleshy substance. Such flesh is inert and lacking a vital life force unless a life force or magical energy is available. (For example, this spell...

I'm a forever DM who is really struggling to put together a new D&D (or other RPG) group after moving to Atlanta three years ago. Part of it is the struggle of trying to schedule anything while also having a three year old child. Part of it is that we live in a pretty tiny house with no sound...

For a casual 2 hour game I'd start at the end of the adventure. Narrate how they've breached the fortress walls, fought through the orc and goblin guards, and broke through to the tomb of a legendary necromancer. They see a big obsidian throne with the skeleton of the necromancer sitting on it...

Lil' gnomes. They come out through holes in the wall after the adventurers to light the torches and sweep away the dead bodies.

It is funny to me that games about sex or naked people are being demonized while plenty of popular games provide a million opportunities to hit, shoot, and slice up opponents. Booooo nudity! Yay violence!

On the subject of the supernatural, I think belief is baked into human cognition. I think evolution has given us an insatiable curiosity to go over the next hill, try eating something weird, investigate why something works... But there's a limit to how much we can truly understand. So we fill...

I think there's a difference between discussing beliefs ("Oh, you believe that? Tell me more. What led you to those beliefs? Have you thought about this? I differ because of this...") and trying to prove someone's beliefs are wrong ("What is your proof? Don't you realize it's actually... That's...

I think it's pretty harmless for folks to believe in ghosts, even if I have absolutely no faith in the supernatural. Thinking you will be able to change someone's beliefs through posting on a D&D forum is pretty out there, though.

I do not, in the least. But I know there are a lot of folks out there who believe because it gives them comfort or it's part of their belief system or they just really enjoy ghost stories! So I try not to yuck anyone's ghostly yum.

Gollum wandered into the wrong cave.

This is 100% purely awesome.
