    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    I heard of Sammaster (and Ghost because I read one of those books). No idea who the others are. I should note: The last book of the Cleric Quintent came out over 30 years ago. At what point does old content become obsolete?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I had no idea we had so many legal experts who are also scientists, doctors, philosophers and physicists in the forums. Truly we are blessed to be amongst such Renaissance thinkers. Truly I am humbled; I’m just all up in here with my naughty word opinions.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    I’m sorry, but who? I get that you might be deeply entrenched in the lore but are you really expecting every designer to make rules or design decisions based upon every character ever to be in a FR novel. What’s the goal here?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It’s simply not enough for some folks to run their own games, with their own world, and their own rules.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    As for unintended consequences, the rise of the GLP-1 medicines have also started to have an impact on restaurants and the way people order food. Lots of smaller plates, shared plates, people ordering less and so forth.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Even worse, when they're used by celebrities and influencers who just want to look good in a short period of time and only need to lose 10 pounds.

    DC Studios update

    I think the approach of not being wound so tight or beholden to a big overarching theme or storyline has been really good for them.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh yeah, there are people actively working against any chance that I would ever play the game they're advocating for. One I've realized that every thread they start, no matter what the stated topic, seems like just a trap to turn discussion back to their favorite game.

    Guess we’ll see when they actually release the books.

    D&D General Players Decide when to Level Up

    Dang. I mean, as a player, I like to walk around with my PC a bit and enjoy each level and the abilities without feeling like I’m rushing.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    I think they should just simply focus on putting the best ideas they have out there and make use of the characters without concern for the past. Their worst mistakes IMO are when they attempt to rationalize rule changes as world shattering events. That’s unlikely to happen this time, so they can...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    Everything I’ve read online and my past usage of other services, local NFL games meant exactly that - you received local games to where you lived. It’s the whole blackout concept. I mean, they specifically call out out of market pre-season games but not regular season games. Don’t get me wrong...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    What am I missing here? (this is from their website) - NFL+ includes access to: Live local & primetime regular season and postseason games on your phone or tablet NFL Network Live out-of-market preseason games Live game audio (home, away, & national calls) for every game NFL library...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    From what I understand, NFL+ is still just for local and primetime games, but if you are out of market, YouTube + Sunday Ticket is your only option there. So say you are a Green Bay fan, and you move away from Wisconsin, but you want to watch Packers games because well - you're a fan, sorry...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    Just read an article that if an NFL fan wanted to stream all of the NFL games, it’d cost them about $1,500 a season across YouTube TV, and then all of the individual service that have carved out this game or that game each season. And there’s still no option for a fan of one team to simply see...

    D&D General Players Decide when to Level Up

    I’ve been a part of a group that did this too and it really works very well. Ultimately it tracks according to what our DM usually was thinking anyways with milestone, and he liked how it tracked with the big accomplishments. Completing a major task felt like the time to level, and lo and...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    I think part of it is not just whether a game designer can create a fantasy species that is suitably alien to not simply be a human with pointy ears, but it also must be a species that people are interested in playing. I suspect the farther you get away from what people know, the harder it is...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    To be fair, while not difficult to get sodium bromide, this guy had to special order it off the internet, and it was likely labeled as a cleaner or disinfectant, not a food product. This sounds something on the level of my doctor told to me to lose weight so I ate nothing for a week.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Ed Greenwood is not the only arbiter of Forgotten Realms canon, nor has he fully published his version of his world. Not all of the 300 novels that you mentioned previously were written by Ed Greenwood and they don’t all exist in his world. In fact, if I recall, his vision of Moonshae is very...
