I have never really liked Barbarian as a class name. Named thus to grab Conan fans' attention, and as time went on, does't really describe itself well. If we get technical, a barbarian can be anything, not just a strong man/woman who flies into a rage. I am not sure. I voted Berserker, but I...

Yeah. You were just harping on SA stuff. So is it a stretch to think that listed items aren't potentially problematic? Because they totally can be. SHOCKER!:eek:

Can't we use our individual flavor of common sense as DMs and just ignore a rule or ruling? As has been done since time began? (D&D time obviously) Also really? Someone is handing out +3 shields? Holy heck! No thanks. A +1 shield in most of my worlds is already hella powerful.

Oof. Yeah. Maybe he used a Monkey Paw or a magic lamp. Regarding his comments. The US does have really good medical staff and treatments. If you are fortunate enough to be able to afford them. And if you are the leader of the US? You certainly are getting a tier above what the average citizen...

I want people to have what they think is fun. But maaaaybe, and just hear me out here... we are coming to a point where Psionics just aren't that popular anymore? Could be that in 6e or 7e, there just isn't even this discussion? Who knows. Seems like such a small group of us want or need them...

Is D&D made for horror like other games which are more focused? No. Can a DM or an adventure create a sense of horror for the characters/players as a theme? Yes. I think you can do so through storytelling and world crafting. I also think this can be done with minimal house rules. You can...

A smart phone is pretty necessary for me at this point at work. And while I can get some of the phone covered through work, I still only get a new device every 3-4 generations of phone (not iphones shivers) Which comes to about one every 3 years or so. I certainly know people and colleagues...

So wrong. We don't know that. And we don't know the second point either.

Personally, if I had asthma, going to a football game during a pandemic without my own protection is probably the last thing I am going to be doing. That being besides the numerous ways it was stated that masks were required. I mean... she was told to leave. I guess she thought she was calling...

They are dumb. And this was for my future nephew. Understood as another venue to get some more gifts or money from people you know. Luckily, most of the people didn't come. And some that were invited didn't come because they actually tested positive. Luckily one of those being my cousin, has...

Psionics is not a huge draw to me. Too many bad experiences and players who abused the unbalanced nature of the powers in past editions. Though, I did play an Ardent in 4e and that was kind of fun. Much more of an empath I felt than the old school psionic users. Then again, 4e was a horse apart...

Yeah. You could end up like that Lt. Governor from Ohio that got booed for telling fellow Republicans to maybe where a mask if asked. He even had some Trump masks to offer up. I am not sure that really helped his career, even if it was the correct thing to try. In my opinion. Who knows though...

Makes sense. I know I had heard it would take some time, and that was pre-pandemic. That is a bit of a bummer.

Recently, I have been forgetting about Regeneration in some monsters. I have lucked out, that the fights are still pretty challenging, but when I have looked back I have a real face-palm moment.

Here the governor just extended the state mandate out to November. We have been seeing an uptick in cases, that's for sure. However, I have 100% been to places in my state where the pandemic doesn't exist and you won't see a mask anywhere. It is a decidedly creepy feeling. Especially when...

Being supremely lazy, when is this second season set to hit?

I have never once (perhaps through sheer laziness) gone after a character's family. Things or goals the character wants? Maaaybe a well liked NPC the whole group likes? Never though a character's family. Maybe I am just not thinking evil enough?

Yeah. I too was thinking about making a thrower. Do I want daggers (so iconic) or like just a pile of thrown axes or tomahawks (also really cool)?

Yeah, and then you have a party like mine, where three of the characters lost wives to various villains. Three. I prompted none of them to do this for their backstory. Out of 5 players, only one has any living relation. Oddly, only the players with actual wives chose this for their character...

Could be. It is also what tavern leagues are for. Makes sure business is generally fair/competitive. Plus we certainly see that level of cooperation from other real world industries. I only meant that seeing that many bars in a small town wasn't plucked from thin air. It can totally happen...
