    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    This was the QUICKIEST response to Ugandan death magic I've ever seen. Well done.

    D&D General What's the safest place to live in the Forgotten Realms?

    Probably somewhere in Cormyr? It's civilized, has a strong sense of order and a strong military without being overly autocratic. Arabel or Suzail, perhaps?

    Our Physical Fitness

    I need to talk my wife into letting me do this. I'd like to imagine playing Skyrim and getting my cardio in. I'm just as likely to injure myself in the doing, though.

    Marvel Multiverse TTRPG

    The timing of this reply is Uncanny (15) for me. While I've been unimpressed with my read through of the MMRPG, I literally told a friend the other day that I feel like I need to watch a session to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the recommendation! :D

    Who is older than me? Who is younger than me?

    Younger. I was in that sort of second wave of 80s kids that hopped on with the Mentzer box set and only tasted 1e for a hot minute before 2e was released.

    Our Physical Fitness

    I'm winding down a "cut," having dropped 11 pounds in the last ~2 months. I have one more week on it to get to my goal body fat percentage. That coincides with a "deload" I'm taking on my training to get my elbows, knees, and shoulders to heal up a bit. Then I'm on to a slight (~200/day) caloric...

    I've never had a gym with one before, and I've heard great things. As a Man of a Certain Age, it would be nice to try. :P

    I'm deeply curious how you feel about it. Seriously.

    Thread necromancy time: How's everyone's routines and dieting regimens going? How did the summer work out (har har) for you?

    D&D 5E (2024) Backgrounds

    A million times this. The natural fit for a Barbarian is probably Guide, which is the closest thing to Outlander in this version. And it's a terrible fit: no Strength bump and Magic Initiate may not work for someone who doesn't want magic as part of their character. Do you want your Fighter to...

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 Channel Divinity Question

    I suppose I can see the merit of both approaches (let them rest vs. limit rests). I'm just a bit tripped up because I don't recall in the 2014 PHB a mechanic for recharging some--but not all--of an ability on a Short Rest. I believe the new Druid has something similar with Wild Shape. If you...

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 Channel Divinity Question

    "You can use this class’s Channel Divinity twice. You regain one of its expended uses when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain additional uses when you reach certain Cleric levels, as shown in the Channel Divinity column of the Cleric...

    Favorite Superhero TTRPG

    I enjoyed M&M 2e, but as I got older, I found it to be crunchier than I like. Steve Kenson is a S tier designer, though, so when he put out Icons: Assembled, I was all over it. It's become my go-to for supers: it really marries a lot of what I like best about M&M with a skeleton that is clearly...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    You've all ruined me.

    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    "2" I understand the desire to minimize our collective complicity in corporate misdeeds via selective purchasing, 100%. When the initial hubbub around them trying to pull the OGL happened, I dutifully pulled my Beyond sub and explained why in the exit form. They corrected course, so I've let...

    Weird rules interpretations you've encountered?

    There are worse ways to play and learn. I kinda love this.

    D&D General Developing a Homebrew Pantheon: Another word for "Saint?"

    I like "Exarch" and "Paragon." I think "Exemplar" is also appropriate.

    In-Depth Review of Quests from the Infinite Staircase

    I'm running my group through Quest's version of Lost City, and we're having a great time with it. I'm curious to see if they simply flee the ziggurat or if they try to interact more with the City below. I've run the first few levels of the original with B/X. While I enjoyed it then, I have to...
