Peas are good. But lima beans might as well be the devil’s dingleberries.

Oh, yeah, there is. Hash browns are potatoes, maybe with onions and seasonings. Add in something else, particularly a meat, and you've got a hash. Use a binder with hash browns, like egg, and suddenly you've got a potato pancake.

Cooking them with their skins on will also reduce the amount of nutrition in their flesh lost to the cooking process. Vitamin C is particularly susceptible to being lost to cooking. Chilling potatoes after cooking has been found to decrease the glycemic index by up to 25%.

I can see where he's coming from for some of it, but it's still a fairly D&D-heavy perspective in some cases. For example, Mike's second generation is largely D&D's Hickman Revolution. But some other games had already been wrestling with similar ideas while also being third generation...

Had to do a lot of sitting around this last weekend, so I started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I've been enjoying it so far a couple of hundred pages in.

My daughter will definitely be thrilled by that. Karlach has become a favorite of hers.

Unfortunately, while that "armor piercing" rationale reflects the idea that no matter how good your armor is, it can't negate the attacks - it also negates any other penalty or non-armor based environmental factor that might be in play like cover. And that still kind of rankles. You can't sweep...

Or, you know, if you're on a hot streak with the dice and a player is paying a brutal price for it... ease off. Ignore the crit results. I mean that weretiger had a 50% chance to miss the ranger but rolled well enough to beat the odds and go 4 for 4 instead of a more expectable 2 for 4. Or you...

Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died. https://people.com/malcolm-jamal-warner-cosby-show-dead-54-11775980

Five Guys burgers are good, but if you have peanut allergies, they aren’t for you. My favorite fast food is Culvers. But I live in Culvers country so they’re common around here.

My players are aware that these effects exist since we’ve been discussing rules. One of the PCs is an orc and we went over how her relentless endurance differs from death ward. So they know, intellectually, they exist. But for a particular encounter with such a risk, I might hint at it and let...

"Honest" randomness? So's a 1d20, a 1d6, and so is 4d6k1. They're ALL equally random, they just have different distributions. And, since at least 1979, the distribution for 4d6k1 has been pretty dominant for generating adventurers. And yes, because it skews a bit higher with its mean and lower...

You've definitely identified one of the most a corrosive attitudes running through society.

I can definitely see the point of this line of criticism. Having to pick specific weapons to be proficient with in 1e, the addition of weapon specialization in 2e, weapon focus/specialization feats in 3e... all of these tended to push fighter-types into narrowing a character to the point where...

Well, let's unpack this a little. 3d6 vs point buy and 4d6 vs point buy are pretty different comparisons. Both point buy and 4d6 are methods that will tend to insulate a PC from very low stats. And with 4d6 being the long-preferred convention (since 1e days), offering up 3d6 is going to seem...

We didn't get an awful lot of overall playing in because we ended up in a single combat for a couple of hours. It took a bit longer because there were a lot of enemies on one side (20 hobgoblins, 2 captains, 1 warlord) against 6 level 5 PCs. So I set it up to be a reasonably tough encounter...

The justification works pretty well for me. It's his really big mainstream breakthrough. "Eat It" took him from Dr. Demento's show right to Top 40 radio.

Recently finished Hodag Days by R.L. Baranowski. Started reading Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab.

THE BEST GEORGE HARRISON SONG!!!! Thanks for sharing.

But how will I know it's a unique file if it isn't an NFT?
