    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Adults in the their 20s having apartments like that one in the city is probably the bigger one for me, but why quibble? :LOL:

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

    Yeah, I never had a problem with Ravenloft on this score. It always felt like a setting that could “reset” itself and feels like it doesn’t betray any lore than might have been put in place. It lives outside of normal time in my mind. Dracula dies and is resurrected multiple times in movies, and...

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

    This was a headache that TSR jumped into with both feet. From the Dragonlance adventures that were literally a railroad retelling of the novels to the Waterdeep trilogy of adventures - they loved to make sure that PCs were never quite as powerful or important as the precious IP characters.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    You can always elect to take a lower strength than the 8 if you really want to have a weaker character.

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

    That’s time for even an already ancient great wyrm to conceivably die and for a whole country to move on (again, I don’t know the whole story of Cormyr from those books).

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

    I can’t speak to how Soth or his history was portrayed in SotDQ, but the Cormyr books, Azoun, and the black/purple dragon are 25+ years old at this point, and none of these characters ever reached the same heights of popularity as Drizzt or Soth. It’s like Strahd in Ravenloft. WotC has come back...

    D&D 5E (2024) Can a Warlock who swaps out Pact of Chain keep his familiar?

    Personally, I think it’s part of the pact, you change the pact, you change the terms and conditions, and you lose the familiar. But it’s probably not a big deal but I would only allow it as a one off, not as a constant loophole.

    Yes. It's irrelevant. Okay?

    And the CHA penalty is no longer a thing, and hasn't been for a long time.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    Yes, it's weird to talk about dwarf sorcerers in context of 1e when sorcerer wasn't a class whether you were human, dwarf, elf, halfling, or any other race.

    Sorcerer wasn't on the menu for anyone.

    Dungeons & Dragons Teams Up With New Holland For New Beer

    Gotta be honest, that's not something that I would try without having a taster first. Too many highly specific flavors that could be good - could be bad - not gonna plop down my money to find out blindly.

    D&D 5E (2024) Representing afflictions in D&D 5e - which do you think work best/least dislike.

    I'm actually pretty agnostic to this but I like it when it's varied, and has an impact on the game. I don't even mind the bookkeeping aspect of ability score drains because in the course of doing the calculation, you realize how nasty the affliction really is, and as a player it motivated me to...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    Those are three really big problems and to bring it back to D&D and related games specifically, the game’s origins are not based upon the type of fantasy and sci-fi that is out there that bucks this trend. That will take time and concerted effort, and I think that’s only just begun. Those...

    I remember this place we used to order from called Zorba’s that the crust was like a whole other meal in itself and it was awesome.

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

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Cue up the 20,000th time we've had this same discussion only now it's going to revolve around a new word, badly applied.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    To overgeeked's point, it's all just innocent fiction until it's also supposed to be simulation of the "real world" which leads a game designer like Len Lakofka wanting to insert their thoughts about how female characters should have to roll smaller dice or derive scores from a different table...
