    I only use the meklab and don’t game online with it yet. I’ll look around the discord Community

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    In a recent B5 rewatch I skipped quite a few. Show hasn’t aged well.

    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    Not necessarily, you can cook at very low temps and do a reverse sear that will turn out as good if not better. Im a medium rare guy. Simple salt and pepper is mo go to prep. Smoked a leg 'o' Lamb last week to just over 135 when I took it off. Id say it was between medium rare and medium.

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    That is why I went with Monster of the Week ultimately. I think I could mod it enough to keep it fresh. Though, Masks was up there.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Jax my late friend had an unfortunate run in with racoons as a young boy. Things got very scrappy. Two dead baby raccoons and one very mad mother that did a number on him. Patched up at vet, rabbies shots, the whole nine yards. For years and years afterwards anytime he saw a cat it was straight...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I have, but its been a long time. If you are willing to play online you get a group for anything nowadays. The best analogy would be you can phone or online order a pizza from anywhere but you can only go and sit down at two spots. Some folks refuse to eat the pizza at home.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I guess in my D&D games taking a rest whenever you want isnt always an option. 🤷‍♂️

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I can say that every time the math is tightened (4E/PF2) I bounce right out. Its not a mathematically right discussion, but one of feel which is subjective. I enjoy not knowing exactly how a combat is going to go, and sometimes that means it goes pear shaped. Its more an art approach than a...

    Who's on your geek Mount Rushmore?

    Too cool now maybe. I was beat up in school for liking these guys. They were dorks when they first hit the scene. They were fortunate enough to live in NYC during a very cultural melting pot of music in the late 70's early 80's. They grew into cool through great influences and ever expanding...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    A fair point, id say is related as well. Even games we think are less reliant on math and granular sub-systems, are not all that predictable either.

    Who's on your geek Mount Rushmore?

    Its ironic that Wheddon wrote a line from Firefly about statues begin erected to celebrate people that were really butt holes in one way or another.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Wait...you want tight math and level disparities in the party... Fair enough. Each piece is not of equal value though, but has advantages and disadvantages in the proper situation. They dont just all do the same thing with different carvings as to their representation.

    The Beastie Boys and Biz Markie.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    If true, its rather ironic that the best selling edition ever was designed mostly by folks who dont play it. It sounds like a modular solution and I agree it would be pretty sweet. Too bad those grogs pushed 5E in a design direction that blew the doors off expectations and the solution hasnt...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Isnt that completely represented by Black Widow and Hawkeye tho? Gandolf and the rest of the gang? Eleven and the hellfire club? Its not like this isnt present in narratives everywhere in fiction. In fact, you just convinced me that the everybody balanced is actually not common. Even chess has...
