I have spent ages…ages…making a modular foam dungeon that has been used a relatively few number of times (want to change that!) but the point is going to my game room and working on it and looking at its progress give me little hits of dopamine that give me positives to think about…when I am...

Tell them about the overjustification effect and intrinsic vs extrinsic rewards! More about that than economic systems…it’s this way for many things.

Ah, hit post when you did. Interesting theory

I am slow on the uptake. What are your suspicions? Not being obtuse on purpose…just trying to follow along

I have rethought this whole session 0 x card stuff. I don’t worry about it because I play with friends and family. One friend had a real life tragedy that I would not bring into the game. I keep thinking: if a theme in a movie bothers you; don’t go. Don’t change the movie for everyone else…...

They surprised 3 in 6 from 1e…given how poor MS and HS was in 1e, this was not an insignificant nod in that direction. I think they always were supposed to be sneaky and alert in the woods like Aragorn…

The question before me is whether I want the new phb or not…I don’t know. What I do know is that the revision whether to my liking or not is not exploitative. 10 years…is 10 years. And I am also sure this won’t tank. It’s going to do pretty well to fabulous and I am thinking fabulous by...

I meant what I wrote

Qft. And I am very on the fence about the new phb: I am not sure I will buy it. But at a certain point it’s about acknowledging reality. The chassis is popular for sure. I am still going back to it again and again… So 2014 or 2024 I am in one way or another…

Hey Man U can in fact drink too much water if you try! Water…uh…coors Intoxication. It’s in medical journals

I am drinking rum and tonic because i accidentally asked my wife to get bacardi instead of seagrams. cheap gin is ok with me too… i know. low class!

I enjoyed the hobbit movies. I like coors light. IPAs are…ok sometimes

Well the bad news is that after a decade of rigorous play no one has realized that the game sucks and promotion alone has dazzled and tricked them; and now into the second decade of popularity people are scammed unwittingly again. Any additional million sold will finally reveal the truth. They...

There are worse ways to help kids grow. I swear D&D got me into my profession and helped my GRE score. A lot of reading bored me to tears but there I was just a kid learning high Gygaxian… For vocab, not sentence structure ;)

It is a sickness I have trouble shaking into 5e…I feel compelled to “earn” advancement and to not fudge rolls for character creation and so usually start at 1st. It’s a hangover from my AD&D days which is ironic! Considering what u said about Gygax starting at 3rd!!!

Whoops. Reading is fundamental! But as a side note I play a blade pact celestial warlock from time to time and it’s closer than the old school wizards I played in AD&D 1e days of yore! Which for me did not end until 2000…

I think Gandalf played like a celestial patron warlock…

I carried daggers and darts. Occasionally a quarter staff but usually the former and let the fighters hold the line. Administered potions and cowered…the feeling of achievement at 5th level was palpable to the table. Sleep was a great spell… One thing I liked about this fragility was no one...

I am particular who I play with as player and dm. I mostly play with friends and family so it’s kind of easy. I have never had a weird objectionable/upsetting experience at a con. Keeping it roughly PG-13 seems to work for me…I don’t have rape or related things in frame. If people cannot...

I don’t default to this but I want To move in this direction. So much more immersive. Thinking about that and then maybe say roll a d20 and narrate outcome…
