    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    From the video it'll take Shadowdark in a more pulpy direction. Level cap increases to 20th level. New classes, spells, and monsters. Deathbringer dice that add a bit more pulp adventure to the mix, it's a resource you can spend to increase or decease a d20 roll or damage. And there will be...

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Nice video. I'm definitely a fan of the dungeon as mythic underworld, without set parameters or locations. The dungeon as a possibly living creature that's malicious and actively wants the PCs dead.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    It feels like a firehose, but I'm glad for it. There's so much content that I can pick and choose what I want to look at, read, and eventually use. I'd much rather than than the opposite. A single core book with no support from anyone, even the publisher. I'm just glad I'm not a completionist...

    They're already at 700% funded. That's wild. Good for them.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Apparently Professor DM is getting in on the action. Instead of a standalone game, Deathbringer will be a supplement and setting for Shadowdark. ETA: Apparently it's both a standalone game and a supplement to Shadowdark. The video was unclear how that would work.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    With how quick most conversations are on here I think it would get lost so I'd just make a new post.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm kind of between those points. I'll try new places but once I have I tend to stick with what I like. So if the first thing I try at a place is great, that's about all I'm ever going to order there. I'll try a bite of someone else's order if offered, and if it blows me away I might try it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I’ll edit typos and grammar but not change the substance of a post. Any time I find it, I’ll fix it. Doesn’t matter how old the post. I feel bad about making the initial error, but never about fixing it later.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Since the best, Tater Tots, were omitted I voted Jo Jos.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    At a guess it’s racism. Depends on which versions of TexMex foods you’re talking about. The white people taco is TexMex and yet it’s the least authentically Mexican taco imaginable. Nice.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Growing up I only ever had Americanized Mexican food or TexMex. When I finally had authentic Mexican food it was like a literal divine revelation. Luckily I took the time to learn how to cook and have absolutely hoarded every Mexican recipe and cookbook I could find. I make a few dishes fairly...

    Pirate Borg -- any of you scurvy dogs have it?

    Yeah. That’s a good point. A ghost of a dead PC would be fine by me. It’s the mermaids and talking animals that seem to cross the line.

    Pirate Borg -- any of you scurvy dogs have it?

    Thankfully they're explicitly optional. It's the only thing I've just outright banned. As much as I love gonzo and weird, that's too much even for me.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    It's a helpful distinction to make in that it is a quick signal for what I'll enjoy and what I'll hate. I'll take genre fiction as entertaining beach read over boring-ass "literature" all day every day.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You can freeze and reheat bread fairly easily. I don’t know if it would work for biscuits. Wrap it in tinfoil and bake at 300°F for 20 minutes. Bread comes out as if it were fresh.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    Yeah. Ads plastered everywhere is the worst. I’ve adopted a rule that if I see an ad for the same thing more than twice in short order, I refuse to ever buy that thing or from that company. Doesn’t stop the enshittification of everything with ads, but ensures the companies don’t make money from me.

    Cthulhu By Gaslight Keeper’s Guide Dives Into The Dark Side Of The Era

    Yes, they are. As of January 1, 2023 all of Doyle's Holmes stories are in the public domain. Nice. I've always been fascinated with WW1 through the early 50s. It seems like a wildly transformative period. Love the music, swing jazz and blues. Love the literature, pulp magazines and comics and...
