Any food-oriented city (or region) with a chip on its shoulder is similar in it's chauvinistic claims - being from the upper midwest, we hear it mostly from Chicago rather than NYC. But, the one major thing NYC has going for it with its water is it is generally soft - naturally. And that's...

Since there are no gods to visit such appropriate retribution, the duty falls to us. Who must I smite?

I've done something similar. It's great that the internet is around to enable this kind of thing. Back in my day, <pulls pants up to armpits> I had to look for a Series Replay published in The General to see how some of the wargames I was interested in played out.

Lin Codega has been covering this on their posts on Bluesky. They were able to determine that Itch.io, without notice, shadowbanned a lot of titles including anything marked "adult" with its codewords by blocking them from search results. A term like "adult" covers a lot of territory well...

Honestly, if that were my experience, I absolutely could (and would) judge the system based on that. This wasn't simply a one and done - it was giving a full three strikes, including a weekend-long go at it as one of those three. How much misery does someone have to endure before deciding a...

At the very least, if they have the power to deny processing payments, it really be for actually illegal material or activities appropriately vetted, not merely claimed as objectionable by some groups or special interests. There may be some challenges in doing that for commerce that crosses...

You've got some good points in how you're characterizing the editions, but I don't think I'd really agree with this one. There weren't many years to accumulate additions to 3e and make them official. Plus, too many of the changes weren't additions - they were changes in approach and...

My kids love it. My elder daughter (27) and her roommate are WAY into KPop and they've recruited my younger daughter (20), who has watched the movie at least 3 times already. And then I find that their little cousin (8) has found it and it's her favorite movie on Netflix - I think she's seen it...

That is exactly what is going on, particularly through the courts with an unusually friendly SCOTUS usually taking the religious side through its current majority.

Peas are good. But lima beans might as well be the devil’s dingleberries.

Oh, yeah, there is. Hash browns are potatoes, maybe with onions and seasonings. Add in something else, particularly a meat, and you've got a hash. Use a binder with hash browns, like egg, and suddenly you've got a potato pancake.

Cooking them with their skins on will also reduce the amount of nutrition in their flesh lost to the cooking process. Vitamin C is particularly susceptible to being lost to cooking. Chilling potatoes after cooking has been found to decrease the glycemic index by up to 25%.

I can see where he's coming from for some of it, but it's still a fairly D&D-heavy perspective in some cases. For example, Mike's second generation is largely D&D's Hickman Revolution. But some other games had already been wrestling with similar ideas while also being third generation...

Had to do a lot of sitting around this last weekend, so I started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I've been enjoying it so far a couple of hundred pages in.

My daughter will definitely be thrilled by that. Karlach has become a favorite of hers.

Unfortunately, while that "armor piercing" rationale reflects the idea that no matter how good your armor is, it can't negate the attacks - it also negates any other penalty or non-armor based environmental factor that might be in play like cover. And that still kind of rankles. You can't sweep...

Or, you know, if you're on a hot streak with the dice and a player is paying a brutal price for it... ease off. Ignore the crit results. I mean that weretiger had a 50% chance to miss the ranger but rolled well enough to beat the odds and go 4 for 4 instead of a more expectable 2 for 4. Or you...

Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died. https://people.com/malcolm-jamal-warner-cosby-show-dead-54-11775980

Five Guys burgers are good, but if you have peanut allergies, they aren’t for you. My favorite fast food is Culvers. But I live in Culvers country so they’re common around here.

My players are aware that these effects exist since we’ve been discussing rules. One of the PCs is an orc and we went over how her relentless endurance differs from death ward. So they know, intellectually, they exist. But for a particular encounter with such a risk, I might hint at it and let...
