I love this but also I hate this.

Dogs didn't invent the atomic bomb...but then again, dogs didn't invent the atomic bomb.

Honestly? Tiny Hut is extremely problematic in white-room game theory analysis, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen that spell actually get used in the game. And I've been playing for decades.

Well, in the kids' defense, my generation (Gen-X) was famous for having this attitude too. I remember hearing it from everyone when I was growing up--so many lectures from my parents and teachers about "taking responsibility for my actions" and "facing the music," etc. I agree it's certainly a...

Carving a pumpkin tonight? Save those seeds! CleverToasted Pumpkin Seeds Ingredients: 1 cup of fresh pumpkin seeds 2 quarts water 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided use) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil Instructions: Clean and wash the pumpkin seeds well, making...

In fantasy RPGs, I prefer to play elf arcanists of some sort...usually a wizard or a warlock. I like mages who also know how to use martial weapons--you know, classic Sword & Sorcery. It's iconic for a reason. In sci-fi games, I like to play psions (or psychs, mentalists, whatever the word...

Call of Cthulhu would have fallen completely off my radar during the pandemic lockdowns, had it not been for virtual play on Roll20 (it's not the only platform to play CoC on.) We don't play in-person anymore, so the list of games we have the option to play on is pretty small. Call of Cthulhu...

I've only ever blocked like, three people. Maybe four? The most recent one was years ago (during that whole Legacy Disclaimer uproar), and they ended up getting kicked off of the site permanently for their bigotry. I have gotten good at the 'soft ignore,' though: just scrolling past whatever...

Many posts, true...but they seem to be coming from the same 1d4+1 people.

Same here: I learned to play D&D with the red box Basic rules in middle school, but that whole product line quickly went out of print. So for the first few years of gaming, my friends and I had to mash together whatever we could find and make up the rest.

The unspoken take-away, of course, is "...and since you are ultimately going to be held responsible, you should be very careful indeed with the tools you choose, and how far you trust them." There's a professionalism aspect to it, also. If a colleague tells me they used AI to help them write a...

My answer is still "staying with 5E," for the same reason I always give: we already have all of the 5E books, and we already have them in Roll20. Nobody in our group wants to spend that kind of money on a handful of updates.

I've had to attend (checks calendar) three different training sessions so far about AI, and how to use it responsibly within our company. The highlights are: (1) we cannot use ChatGPT (our IT has blocked it, along with several others), (2) we are only allowed to use the company's own AI tools...

That reminds me: share any and all of your favorites, but please don't link or embed pornographic content in this thread (or anywhere else on this site, per The Rules.) Some webcomics aren't suitable for all audiences, after all.

An excellent list, for sure. (I'm especially fond of XKCD, it's also in my daily rotation.) But don't stop there, @Olgar Shiverstone: tell us about them! What are these webcomics about and what do you like about them?

"Ugh, why won't anyone agree with me?!" "Have you tried...actually being agreeable?" "I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO!"

Quick PSA: this thread for discussing, promoting, and sharing our favorite webcomics. If you just want to share a funny comic you found, it might be a better fit over in the D&D Memes thread. Also, many webcomics out there are NSFW and may contain material not suitable for all...

That was the biggest issue my table had with the 3.X/Pathfinder rules. It wasn't just the math either--it was board position, it was order of operations, it was synergy. You would roll a d20 and add a bonus, sure. But depending on whether you moved Here and Attacked, or if you Attacked first...

Look. I'm not here to listen to you spout "facts" or "information" at me, I'm here so that you can tell me I'm right. Nobody's leaving this subject until you do, so get with the program already. Do you need me to repeat myself again?
