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?

Alas, no venison for me. The hunting party returned empty-handed. :rolleyes:

Edition war in 2008: "How dare you! This is an outrage! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" Edition war in 2025: "I disagree, but whatever. Also you're an elderberry or something." (checks watch) "Welp, gotta go pick up the kids. Same time tomorrow?"

Bummer...sorry to hear that. I don't know if it's an option you're considering or not, but if you are looking for a different group to play C&C with, there is a small but energetic group of gamers on Roll20 who run Castles & Crusades. If you set up a C&C game and solicit players there, you'll...

Hey no fair cross-quoting me from two different threads! :D For those who might be confused: The first quote was just me teasing my players about that stupid bottle they carry around like a deranged relic. The second quote was from the "describe your last gaming session in five words" when I...

I wonder if it's even more broad? They aren't actually upset about an old edition of D&D or an older game; they are upset that those days are gone forever. I remember when The Isle of Dread was the "cool new thing," and I remember when I was the "cool DM," and my friends couldn't wait until...

Lets Roll Up New Characters (I felt I should clarify: it's for starting an all-new campaign)

I was gonna post this in the "Today I Learned" thread, but it seemed off-topic so I'm dropping it here among the pineapple tidbits. If you didn't already know: LadyTiefling, aka DungeonMasterKelsey, has a bunch of fun random loot tables for just about any occasion over on her Instagram.

Practicing Medicine: I always require a DC 12 Medicine check for administering a healing potion to an unconscious character, since the character is actually dispensing 'medicine' to a 'patient.' Forensics: I also use Medicine to handle forensics: determining how a creature died, how long ago...

I can understand people feeling disappointed about not being able to find new content for the older editions of D&D. I'm in this camp: I love the old BECM rules and the Mystara setting, and it makes me sad that those days are gone forever. I can't understand people being angry about it...

There's avoiding foolishness altogether (like you are referring to), and there's not letting a foolish something get even more foolish (which is what I'm referring to.) They aren't the same thing.
