    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, if you do get kidnapped by Bigfoot, remind him he still hasn't given me back my 3.5 DMG...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I had a 4E warforged druid who was fluffed as a genius loci that had decided it had had enough of being a war-torn battlefield and grew a tree up through a suit of armor, grabbed some nearby weapons, and set out to share its pain with the folks who'd despoiled it. All of the animals it turned...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Damn... I really need to get back to painting my lighthouse again, but priorities have been reprioritized and another project has taken precedence. (I have a plan (we all know how that goes, lol) to do it as a night scene lit solely by OSL from moonlight (about a 70-degree angle) and the lit fire.

    Today I learned +

    A teenager, sure. But I've never been a dumb teenager - my problem was being too smart for my own good. :p (I protested my mother's smoking by blowing up her ashtrays with homemade firecrackers when I was ten...)

    Today I learned +

    Right around the time the whole "Snek." thing got big on the internet, I had to restrain a mid-teenage girl from continuing to chase a snake while going, "Snek. Snek. Snek-snek-snek-snek." like she was going to get it to turn around and come lick her hand... She was chasing after a damn timber...

    D&D General Do you track ammunition?

    Personally, I always track my own character's ammo. As a DM I only do it when it could be a valid concern - the aforementioned weeklong trek through the jungle with no chance to resupply, running battle fleeing from a gnoll horde, nine-day seige, etc.... I always let my players know when...

    Okay, who hacked the security cameras at my job? :unsure: 🤬:rolleyes: That's basically me and Idiot Coworker Jim...All day, every day.

    Dragonlance novels humble bundle

    Even though I'd love to have the entire collection available, I am absolutely certain I would never get around to reading all of them just as matter of available time, nevermind whether or not I was still interested in it after rereading the original trilogy.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Fun AI Experiment: Ask it to honestly admit all the things it did wrong and did-but-wasn't-supposed-to since the last time you asked it a question... :p

    Tv in gaming table and general gaming table advice

    Part of the warning is because they design most technological things in a particular orientation and thus they're sort of like swords - used correctly the sword will do its job easily, but try hitting something with the side of the sword and you could easily shatter it. Not being built for use...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I thought the tv show Penny Dreadful did an excellent interpretation of the monster - the monster is clearly lashing out at Frankenstein because he's almost too human, and feels things too deeply, and yet is also keenly aware of his own monstrosity and moral failings... Erikson is a hell of a...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Unrelated to anything on the boards... If more people listened to me, there'd be less people I have to listen to, <bleep>ing about how their poor life choices have screwed up their lives without ever realizing that it was their stupid and careless choices that led to them being in their...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm sure it wouldn't take much effort to find generic 1/24th scale printed parts - you can get stls or prints of just about anything... Including actual Car Wars-type cars in various scales.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh no - I was building and modifying 1/24th scale plastic car models from companies like Revell and Monogram, and mounting guns on them from models of helicopters, fighter planes, tanks and smaller-scale naval vessels... :cool: Of course, this was back in the day when those models were like $5...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was introduced to it back in college in 1990 - one of my buddies had a metric-<expletive>-ton of the stuff... I sort of inherited his collection for a few years, and eventually picked up some stuff of my own. It was mostly 1st and 2nd Edition stuff - a lot of the box sets like Tanks, Boats...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I never looked into Gaslands since I was pretty sure I'd never get a chance to play it. Back in the day, though, I used to build Car Wars vehicles out of plastic models - I'd steal guns and stuff from military models and mount them on cars.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Ye gods, I loves me some Car Wars... :cool: I still tell people about the Existential Blue Crayon Gun.

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    I've been playing Potions: A Curious Tale from Stumbling Cat on Steam... It's disguised as a silly little young-adult magical-schoolgirl game, but it's actually a fairly entertaining oldschool-NES-style lite-rpg... I originally bought it just to support the independent creator (It's only $20)...

    It wasn't bad, but it sure wasn't the first one, either.
