    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sure, I'll try the reset and take the one guy off my IL that I had on there. I just hope my sanity doesn't suffer for it.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I will admit, as a Patreon patron for the Griffon's Saddlebag since he started, I'm very tempted by the Griffon's Saddlebag and Coinpouch items on the Hit Point Press website. But I need these things to be usable and to be able to stand up to the punishment of a four-day gaming convention! I...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Hey, I own some of those. Somewhere I still have the Personal Soundtrack t-shirt. I always intended to wear it to a convention, with the sound box loaded up with ambient sound effects for whatever game I was scheduled to run; the ONE TIME I managed to remember to do that, that game was cancelled...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was tempted, but I couldn't tell anything about the quality. I'm very familiar with game companies making the cheapest possible promotional items, so my paranoia won out. That said, if you guy are still using it it was probably "good enough."

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I have played Hero System since 1984, and while it's gone through editions, it was basically completely interchangeable until the very latest edition (6th), which came out in 2009. So that was 25 years of play. 5th edition is a fine system, and I expect to get a good 25 years of play out of it...

    Psh! Based on the map, you could fit three Ontarios and another Texas inside of Texas and still have room left over!

    "Texan" implies larger, though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Domains of the Valar

    I might have given Varda the Arcana domain rather than Knowledge. It's been a dog's age since I read the books, but doesn't somebody abjure a horror by calling upon her? That's the Arcana Channel Divinity power.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Okay, so it will have previously-unpublished material, that has somehow not been published in the 50 years since the original came out. That's interesting, sure. But the sheer number of times words like "treasures," "genius," and "gems" are bandied about in a short update smacks of hyperbole and...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    And then there's the four "secret" degrees at the top of the Masonic chain: "Keeper of the Silver Gate," "Knight of the Outer Void," "Son of Yog-Sothoth," and "Wizard". ...I may be playing too much Call of Cthulhu...

    Oh, yeah, I did two of his, too. I do, eventually, learn my lesson, though. It still stings -- those would have been great shows!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I meant to post this in the thread about this particular crowdfunding project, but it was closed. Then I remembered there was another one, but that was also closed. So, I guess I'll just post here, changing the names so nobody will know what I'm talking about. $200!!! What‽‽‽ They got $40 from...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Couldn't he also move through solid objects by passing through the fourth dimension? He could just send the crowd of people into the fourth dimension and then bring them back when the trolley has passed...

    Don't know what you're expecting Alan Scott to do. The trolley's yellow! He can't do anything to it!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh, I understood his point. But people frequently make spot decisions based on emotional or physical urges and then justify them later. So, presentation is important!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    See, the real trick is to use Behavioral Economics. You start off by having the "95%" option not as a given, but making a nominal amount of work required; not the amount of work you'd actually need to do to get a 95%, but still something nominal. Then, after a poll which indicates some people...
