    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Ooooo, that's pretty dumb. Surely nothing bad will come of it. Bikers are notorious for following rules and health guidelines.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rime of the Frostmaiden Gnome Mindflayers

    Ah. A man after my own heart. I too hate all Gnomes. All because of one particularly mischievous cleric of Garl Glittergold. He basically leaned in HARD into the trickery, got a hold of a deck of many things and partially ruined our groups lives.

    D&D 5E (2014) Classes that Suck

    Lol I literally groaned when I saw his post also. I was like "Oh no, not this edge lord again". Okay. To topic. I agree with points on the Ranger, and points on the Monk. Both lack luster in some of their features. Heck, the Ranger in our party could be a ranged fighter, and no one would...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    To ease some tension. I did by the Mystic Odyssey of Theros yesterday. The extra special cover no less with the sexy Hydra. So nice. Didn't have time to properly crack it open yet though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monks Suck

    This is similar to what I have been toying with. It also fits somewhat with my Character and why he is out adventuring. (Long story short, the religious caste is meant to go out on great journeys taking in cultures, traditions, and tactics from the other nations and peoples. Then take this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monks Suck

    Yeah. But it is all still pretty much 'meh'. The dmg die increase isn't as huge of a factor for a Kensei. While speed is nice, I am already faster than any of the other party members. Languages won't play a large part in this campaign, and that is still 5 levels to get proficiency in all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monks Suck

    Nope. I don't think Monks are top dog of anything. I wouldn't use the word suck here mind you. I usually find myself agreeing with Treentmonk's analysis as well. Now, can they still be fun? Sure! I have a Lizardfolk Kensei Monk currently. Not at all optimized, but definitely fun. I certainly...

    Before designing a castle

    Oh great, something else to distract me from work. -_-'

    D&D 5E (2014) What To Do With Racial ASIs?

    Move it all to class and background. Other games do it that way and work alright. Better illustrates where your characters focus came from rather than something lame. Like, "Well I am a big brute, guess I will have to become a soldier rather than pursue my love of botany. Plus, wouldn't being...

    Aquariums

    I like fish. They are cool. And really passive pets. The upkeep on tanks especially if you want a big fancy one for equally big, fancy fish though is rough. We used to have on in our house and it was always unfun to clean. And you have to keep that regimented or the fish can come down with a...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Yeah I was going to say. Not all weddings are the same. Some are pragmatic. Just not as common as today's more romanticized version. Back on topic. Oof... We had 1100+ new cases yesterday in Wisconsin. It is really hard to slow it down when only a few counties are actually mandating masks and...

    Anybody know Starcraft?

    Then you are in luck. They are working on a Starship Troopers RTS.

    Anybody know Starcraft?

    I mean I am not talking award winning here. It is a video game from 1998. Whose original intent was to be Dawn of War, with Space Marines, Tyranid, and Eldar. And what they changed it to is by no means a 'new' story. Creator aliens try to perfect life in some never-ending cycle. Someone...

    Anybody know Starcraft?

    A decent enough story. Especially when you realize how they had to tack that bit on more after-the-fact. Once they lost their license to make a dawn of war game for Warhammer 40k. Can't waste all of those assets. And in the end it became a gamer cultural pillar.

    WotC WotC is hiring Senior Manager for Diversity, equity and inclusion.

    If something like that happened to me, and my contract ended with some bad blood. I would not be interested in going back. Especially not under a totally different role. The stress and potential hidden hostility both from myself and others would just, not be an environment of my choosing.

    Awww. I was kind of hoping when he put on the mask he would like... intentionally muffle the lyrics for like a verse or two.

    WotC WotC is hiring Senior Manager for Diversity, equity and inclusion.

    I mean burnt bridges aside. A designer probably doesn't have that same skill set or experience as someone whose career it has been to implement policy. And while it would be an olive branch perhaps, probably better to hire someone without any direct past biases. Either their own, or ones placed...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    It is my understanding as well that the task of collecting the data was given to a private company and will then funnel that data to HHS under Azar who would then either determine who needs the data or present it. That part isn't clear. I think it is pretty dumb to add additional moving parts...

    Man. Had to look up Tramping. I had a very different initial thought on that activity.
