I know Critical Role is what everyone points to for the increased popularity of D&D, but feel like Chris deserves credit as well for laying the foundation with Acquisitions Incorporated.

Agreed. Not religious myself, but appreciate the faithful adaptation.

100%. Perfectly said.

Mostly here to read about others experiences with the hobby. Close second is writing about games I love, especially if I see little mention of them online.

I felt the same way. I guess what really made me nervous was all the other Free League games I owned as well. Knowing they're putting out a rules update PDF I can print out and be "up to date" has me content again though and hopefully they continue that trend going forward (as long as the...

Sounds delicious! I've found I don't like coleslaw on its own, but love it on tacos and sandwiches for some reason.

Oh yeah, our supermarket bread is trash. My friends and I have all been baking on our own. That is understatement! We literally have corn in EVERYTHING. And thanks to the carbon dioxide shortage, our sodas pretty much go flat in minutes now, despite being around $10 for 12-pack. Dr. Pepper...

I'm in the same boat. The new rule changes have to be 1) more substantial than a page of errata I can just print out and tape to the inside cover and 2) markedly better to get another purchase from me.

@Zardnaar Great pics today! Everything looks like "real food" compared to the overpriced, premade, frozen meals the restaurants in my small town serve. Wasn't always this way, but COVID lockdowns really did a number on us. 😢

That's not what I'm talking about though. If someone is that passionate over how a game should be written, then they should write it themselves or find another game that's closer to their vision; not scream at other people how to do it for them. If that means making a 1:1 mechanical copy of AD&D...

Certainly got a chuckle out of me at first for being so over the top, but then made me kind of sad there's people this angry over what other create. If you're that passionate about something, time to get to work yourself and not rely on others.

With actual AD&D being easily accessible and OSRIC already serving as a perfect free clone, I'm much more interested in what Mat's perfect version would look like. If anyone could improve on the old rules, it would be him. Also @darjr , that picture absolutely brightened my evening, thanks for...

I really need to be better about this. Same with keeping bones for stocks and cilantro stems for marinades.

BtB for life! Don't think I'll ever buy broth again. Oh, and if you haven't yet, drop by their webstore to see all the different flavors. I really don't like cook books based on media, but my wife convinced to try the D&D ones. This soup was one of the reasons. Glad I did, because there are...

Awesome! You're going to love it! One of the upsides of eating out being so expensive is it's easier to justify kitchen purchases like these. My step-brother and I love sushi and Vietnamese fried rice. Both cost us around $20 each, so my Zoji has more than payed for itself by now. :D Oh...

That is really interesting, thanks for sharing. I think the verbal aspect is similar to my wife's in that she doesn't have an inner monologue, but can create verbal "lists" (as she calls them) in order to execute tasks. Exactly me. And since most of the games I've played are so grid/miniatures...

@Staffan Too cool! Thanks so much! Just watched it and that's exactly what I was looking for. That first comment from @jazzygaming420 had me rolling:

Practical. I talked to a lot people today and think I have a clearer idea of how they might go about it. Coming from someone who's 100% verbal, 0% visual, this entire concept just blew my mind.

No, not at all. Just curious how they think. Specifically those that don't use an inner voice whatsoever. I was reading about people who thought "thought bubbles" in comics were just artistic license and didn't actually believe people thought to themselves that way. Curious how someone who...

I think you're right. I polled all my coworkers today and this seems to be very much on a gradient. For me, it's pretty much 100% of the time having a conversation with my self while others described thinking as pulling data out of folders. For instance, there's a meeting on Monday. In my...
