    Today I learned +

    It's a generational thing. When I was a teen in the late 00's and early 10's ('Round the turn of the century I like to say) it was seriously uncool to have exposed socks. No-Shows were the norm, and it was often practice that if your parents purchased you crew socks, you'd fold them down over...

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    I think so too.. Dare I say we may start to see a standard revival? A lot of really hated cards are rotated out (Farewell to Farewell and go Wander somewhere else Wandering Emperor!) including some cards I will miss (R.I.P. Make Disappear :( ) With a kinda return to core sets with Foundations...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    I would very much like to read this book.. But it's unfortunately out of my price range. It's something I'll be keeping an eye on incase a sale ever drops it into the $50-$65 range.

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

    Of course, there have been four times my girlfriend has walked in on me playing BG3.. and three of those times were sex scenes. (Funny enough, the most recent was the same sex scene she had witnessed previously during a new play through.) Trying to convince her that there was more to the game...

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    I appreciate it. I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    I moved to the Greater Detroit Metro area with my spouse last year. She's from here. When I first moved up here we talked about that.. That perhaps idolatry as a whole was a bad idea. Funny enough the reason we talked about that was: That man's name is on every other school, hospital, and...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Why does no one care about context? Or nuance? Poor @Morrus here is looking like the Bus Driver Meme from the Simpsons threatening to tap the sign. I bolded part of the clip I took from your paragraph that I find really funny.. This whole argument was spawned... Because WOTC wanted to...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You know... As a kid in the late 90's I remember branded, hard plastic lunch boxes being a thing. I owned a few. I think maybe with Peanuts Characters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on them.. I think they were even Thermos brand, because they usually came with matching plastic Thermoses that...

    Does Your Campaign Have a BBEG? Does it Need One?

    I guess my game currently has like Schrodinger's BBEG. When I started the campaign I envisioned one, and never fleshed him out because I figured I'd have some time to do so. We're several sessions in however, and he hasn't been introduced, and I don't really think the party is on track to meet...

    Why does the BBEG always delegate?

    Or worse yet.. The boxes of self-help books the BBEG self published and is planning to distribute world wide.. They need to stop them before they get to have their promotional Ted-Talk!

    I've been gaming for thirty years. Maybe it's time to hang it up. OR On Simulations and Storytellers.

    It sounds like a tough spot. On one hand, it's good that it seems like you know exactly what you want. I don't think there's anything wrong with opting to not settle for anything less.. You've already realized the downside to that however.. The alternative to not settling.. Is to just not...

    Tarantino Movies, Ranked!

    I want to preface this by saying I'm a poor movie critic. The bar a movie has to clear for me to say I enjoyed it, is very, very low. I've seen quite a few movies, and there have only been one or two occasions where I've walked out of a theater wishing I had chosen to spend my afternoon...

    D&D 5E (2014) When it all goes wrong

    I know you said you're not looking for feedback, but I'm glad you posted this. I'm a newer DM, and I really like to try and analyze my sessions as well.. Look for lessons to learn from and what not. So I'm going to reply to some of the stuff you wrote about mostly as an exercise for myself, but...

    Why does the BBEG always delegate?

    When it comes to business, even though it usually starts out this way... Owner's typically don't want to be the ones running the day-to-day operations forever. The goal is to build something that is relatively self sufficient so that you are able to sit back, and enjoy the fruits of your labor...

    OSR Introducing: The Mighty TBDs. A B/X adventure log.

    Perfect. I hope the fighter's new nemesis continues to show up. Splash damage is fun though.. Maybe give it a %chance to splash for half damage?

    D&D 5E (2024) New DM Screen Revealed By NZ Retailer

    Supposedly guys like Gygax and Arneson would sit behind filing cabinets or full body screens when they ran games. The first time I ran my current game I sat at a smaller, separate card table than my players because I was using a laptop and a TV to display maps and images and stuff.. It was...

    D&D 5E (2024) New DM Screen Revealed By NZ Retailer

    Your table looks like a blast to play at. I love props. What's with the floppy discs? I'm using the Dungeon one. I really like the art on it. Some of the tables are neat, and beneficial for describing rooms you might not have been prepared for.

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    I'm not too sure about that.. Just from the fact that WOTC is really... Really bad at expanding on these sorts of things. They have been apparently trying, and failing to get some sort of MTG movie or show off the ground for years. The D&D Movie, Baldur's Gate 3, Descent into Avernus, and...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I don't have any problems with admitting I'm wrong... But I'll be darned if I let some punk on the internet know that I think they could be right!!!!
