    House of the Dragon spoiler thread

    I think maybe she was thinking she killed Aegon and his dragon, and she thought if she could kill Vhgar, or at the very least cripple here she'd give her side a major advantage. Like trading a Knight or a Bishop for another Knight and the enemy's Queen. You lose a piece, but end up advantaged in...

    Today I learned +

    You know.. I forgot to mention it in the Quentin Tarantino thread when I was gushing about how much I love Django Unchained.. But I went out and purchased that soundtrack as well. There's a James Brown X 2Pac mashup on that track that is so good. It's going to be on repeat for me all weekend now...

    User Name and Avatars: Origin Stories

    Cable companies are the worst. Where I lived in Central Ohio, it was Time Warner, and then bought out by Spectrum. They were always great to me. When I called to get my cable connected the lady told me about about how the government was providing a grant for home broadband (This was in the midst...

    User Name and Avatars: Origin Stories

    I previously had Spectrum(Which is a TimeWarner subsidiary) and paid $30/mo for the first year and then it went up to $45 the year after for just internet. It was a drag. With that said, I had zero complaints about the service. I never had an outage, and always got great speeds. I moved to a...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    No.. You're not.. Many have come in with that mindset, and also apparently the mindset of "Is reading the original post necessary?"

    What Actors In Specific Roles Are A Joy To Watch for You?

    I love Carey Elwes.. I've found myself re-watching movies I'd seen in my youth and noticing that he's in them. "Glory" is the recent example. I was visiting my parents a few weekends ago, and my dad had it on the TV and they were pointing out some of the big names in it like Denzel or...

    D&D General Don't Point a Loaded Beholder at a Player Character You're Not Willing to Disintegrate

    I like this option. I'll be using it for sure. The pit is already there. In the adventure there is an underground grove where the actual villain of the story resides. I was thinking about how far it should be. Per the adventure it's 80'.. Which I might shorten to 50'-60'. It's still deep...

    D&D General Don't Point a Loaded Beholder at a Player Character You're Not Willing to Disintegrate

    This is a really good idea. I like tiers of success, and this is a good way to use it. I can make the risk of just plummeting to the bottom low, but still possible.. Maybe if they roll under a DC8.. And then scale it up giving them better and better positions the higher they roll. This is a...

    What Actors In Specific Roles Are A Joy To Watch for You?

    Karl Urban has impressed me in EVERYTHING I've seen him in. I remember watching Dredd and being super impressed. I was like "Dang.. Who is this guy and why have I never seen him before?" so I look him up on IMDB and realize, I have seen him before.. A lot actually! A lot of people meme about...

    D&D General Don't Point a Loaded Beholder at a Player Character You're Not Willing to Disintegrate

    I originally was going to title this with an expression about firearms, but decided to make it more on-brand. I want to ask a question, and ask for some advice regarding how to handle purposefully deadly encounters. Spoilers ahead for the 20 year old adventure The Sunless Citadel. If you're...

    House of the Dragon spoiler thread

    I also have not read the books, but I've dug into some wikis and stuff.. Vhegar was the dragon that one of Aegon the Conqueror's wives flew. So that means she is at least ~4 generations old. And I think that box of eggs, was indeed, the box of eggs. The colors match at least.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I like this one. I love pineapple, but loathe coconut, so it's always nice to see a dish that trusts the pineapple to stand alone.

    House of the Dragon spoiler thread

    It's wild that I could feel so bad for CGI dragons. I'm looking forward to more intense dragon fights.

    I've heard that someone can subsist entirely on something like 5 or 6 pints of Guinness and a glass of whole milk. Apparently the Guinness fell short in the calcium or vitamin D department.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, I did notice it was often used for negative notes. I was very active on a sub for yoyoers and one example I remember was one particular user who just really, really hated a particular yoyo company. So I tagged them with a note that was simply "Hate's YoYoCompany". It was nice because...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Reddit Enhancement Suite, a chrome add-on for Reddit has this feature and I really loved it. It of course was very helpful in smaller sub-Reddits. It was also a lot of fun when you were just browsing the main subs and randomly came across someone you tagged.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    So are you suggesting, that when the authors put together this book, which covers the extensive history of the origins of Dungeons and Dragons from 1970 to 1977.. And they were going through all the old first hand articles, letters, postcards.. and choosing what to include... They should have...

    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    There's a popular twitter post that get's shared around the internet that I love. I can't share it as it would essentially be using an image to circumvent the vulgarity filter, but the essence is "The internet is the only place where you can say 'I like pancakes' and the top reply will be like...

    Your name often makes me think of one of my favorite PS1 games, Hogs of War.
