    Favorite pie?

    Mincemeat - hands down, great at Christmas Alton Brown has a recipe that's good enough - Mincemeat Pie. My Grandma had a better recipe that had venison in it but I can't find it at the moment :(

    Backlash over hunt

    National Academy of Science - unless how we produce crops changes (more intensification instead of extensification) by 2050 it is predicted we will have to clear another ~1 billion ha of land. The high yields we currently benefit from rely on modified crops, chemical fertilizers & pesticides...

    Backlash over hunt

    The ability to have the variety of foods necessary for a healthy vegetarian diet on a large scale is part of the reason wildlife habitat is being destroyed. As for need - what part of the world are you talking about? This is only true if the person has sufficient land. And many of them do hunt...

    Backlash over hunt

    I strongly disagree. Some hunters - not all, and I would say only a minority - are uncaring. We also have conservationists that are uncaring about how their actions impact people and communities.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    This is just as true for leaving it out.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    I'm with you on this regarding hps and what they may or may not represent. I don't understand why liking hit points and not liking damage on a miss is so hard for some to understand. In previous play test packets they had the variations of DoaM that weren't automatic and/or required a minimum...

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    That's not what you asked tho. I'm not defending 4E here - it's not my favorite system by a long shot, but it did, eventually, have targeting objects language and then included stuff like "Objects don’t have any universal resistances or vulnerabilities, but the DM might rule that some kinds of...

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    The July 2009 Player's Handbook update has the following... Target [Addition] Player’s Handbook, page 57 Add the following sentences to the end of the first paragraph: “Some powers include objects as targets. At the DM’s discretion, a power that targets a creature can also target an object...

    Is there anyway to stop receiving notifications that I have been quoted by people who are on my ignore list (and just those people)? They are on my ignore list for a reason.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    First, I've played a lot of 4E - epic levels and all that, and am still in a regular game. Second, I am not a fan of damage on a miss powers/abilities. That being said, I have the following comments The powers with damage on a miss in 4E, IMO, did have one definite downside with the way the...

    Pathfinder 1E Current Pathfinder Players: Are you considering switching over to D&D 5E?

    Hmm - given the demands on my time I've rarely had more than one game so that default didn't seem strange to me. I'm bummed I no longer have the luxury of enough time to have multiple games . . . I always did like the snow up there - down here they are usually far enough between that they...

    Time and player availability. Also, how's the weather up there?

    Did the playtest surveys ask about this particular mechanic specifically? (I've had a bunch of RL stuff to deal with and didn't get a chance to fill out the last survey).
