    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    For some variation, look no further than the Palladium alignment system. Palladium Fantasy is, itself, basically a mass of house rules grafted onto D&D anyway, so the alignment system is also more detailed. Principled (Good) Principled characters are, generally, the strong, moral character...

    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    I have seen, somewhere, a D&D house rule which used the MtG Color Wheel instead of the standards, with the nuance of two-color "alignments" as well.

    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    I was just wondering, if you were to add a third axis to D&D alignment, what would it be? Nature/Civilization?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I live in New Jersey, one of the smaller but more densely-populated States, and our costs are also high. So, the excuses are just that, "excuses."

    Things the Report button is NOT for

    My main participation on the site has become my, uh, "contributions" in the Pineapple Express thread, so "pointless" is apparently my middle name. But I take your point!

    Things the Report button is NOT for

    Is it not permitted to just message someone (even a moderator) and ask about a ruling? Have we gotten to the point where the first response must be to report to an authority? I'm asking because my autism expresses itself as an inability to properly gauge proper social responses.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I mean, I knew the answer when I typed it. The Cable Monopolies have done a number on us.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You know, when my wife moved in with me ten+ years ago, she convinced me to cut the cable. We have Netflix, the Max/Hulu/Disney package, and Amazon Prime (about $50 a month total), and they STILL cost less than my cable package did ($125 a month, and no premium channels, just the basics). Either...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I mean, I feel a lot of empathy for people who thrive with a lack of something. But, on the bright side, the Dad jokes write themselves!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    This particular one is from Better Off Ted, which really deserved more seasons. As time goes by, Veronica Palmer seems less and less like a parodic archetype of the worst qualities in managers, and more and more like an accurate portrayal of a regular middle manager.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    We have large, very new houses, sitting vacant in my vicinity. Not a huge number, but enough so it's noticable. As far as I can tell, they are all bank properties, and they hold onto them despite the pressure to sell, because it artificially raises the prices of all the other houses due to...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, of course they had brainrot. They were Lovecraft fans! QED! /s I am, in fact, a huge fan of Lovecraft's writing. And probably have brainrot, as well, but those two are probably not related...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There is a very good chance it was never a real listing. There are a lot of market speculation games going on in the real estate market by huge US banks. And since their reach is worldwide, the effects will be felt elsewhere as well. Some of the listings that look too good to be true are just...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, I thought of, like, ten jokes about it, thought then through carefully, and used exactly none of them for good reasons. Saw this coming.

    Thank you! I hope you enjoy your dumb take, too! It's an elfgame, we should all enjoy our dumb takes! Life's too short to do otherwise!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I can't stand people like that. It's why I'm so glad that Hero System 6th Edition is so good -- it's objectively better than all the others. No opinions required!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    "So, no actual experience with AI. I see." frowns into paper "Okay, as a test of basic programming skills, please solve this problem in 30 minutes. Please show your work." reads from paper; it is obvious I don't understand what I'm reading "Consider the following yes/no problem: given an...

    I got a recruiter email asking if I had twelve years or more experience using AI tools. I weep for the future of my profession.
