    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    1927. I checked the dates before my comment. I am not a movie nerd, but I didn't want to be mouthing off contradictory to facts.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    He might have had more of an accent than American filmgoers were going to accept.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I thought it was because he died before talkies came in, but I'm not really a movie nerd.

    That must have been especially satisfying if you were also riding street bikes.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    He's basically the current version of Thomas Edison, which makes the irony of his company being named for Nikolai Tesla ... tangy.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I often describe them as looking like a graphics card glitch, so this tracks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Quick way to fix class balance if you don't use the assumed adventuring day

    No kayfabe here, I haven't had anything like the problems you're describing. Of course, I don't also have months between adventures, the PCs are always in pursuit of things relevant to them, until they get to level 20 and I give them some time to play with their maxed-out toys, then I finish the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That visual makes me think of Delia Derbyshire, for some reason. The fact she did the original Dr Who theme using tape loops just makes me boggle.

    D&D 5E (2014) Quick way to fix class balance if you don't use the assumed adventuring day

    Or just shorten short rests (I actually grabbed an idea from Cypher and have them take progressively longer) and apply some hard narrative pressure. The combination has seemed to work well at my tables, though obviously YMMV.

    ToV Some questions regarding the Game Master's Guide

    Plausibly, but you're actively giving up what are arguably more like core features--though really, I've never seen a cleric in play as anything other than a caster straddling support and offense. (Though the tweak for the Armor of Shadows warlock invocation in ToV is probably what I'd grab for...

    ToV Some questions regarding the Game Master's Guide

    I have not seen anything like either of those two things in anything KP have published for ToV. The latter, you're functionally making a new core class, the guidance for that might be useful, but it's very general guidance.

    ToV Some questions regarding the Game Master's Guide

    KP have published some lineages that gain spells, but I haven't been allowing those (I have a pretty restrictive whitelist). I've adapted some of those features into various lineages (and I think there are some in their sources--especially the Campaign Starter books that came out after the ToV...

    ToV Some questions regarding the Game Master's Guide

    I actually moved to ToV (though the game I'm running in 2014 stayed there, because I didn't wanna change things out from under the players. Just letting you know some of where I'm coming from on this ... Mostly it's stuff like firearms, Dread/Horror (what a lot of older games would have called...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I hate to be that guy, but I think the word you want here is "epistolary."

    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    Sear it as hard and as fast as I can, then make a pan sauce while it rests.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Makes sense. I know less about dogs, but cats need to be socialized to people when they're a few weeks old; I imagine there's a similar point for dogs, and I can see cats being socialized to dogs at the same time.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Absolutely. Cats tend not to do well with even well-behaved big dogs. The difference, like just in size, between a ten-pound housecat and a hundred-pound dog is real--especially to the cat.
