Art's gonna be subjective... I really enjoyed a lot of 3e art. I find likeable art in ... well, every edition; even if I don't like every piece, every edition has had a lot of art I enjoyed for one reason or another.

I'm apparently completely ignorant of The Forge that folk are referencing (I only know of the FoundryVTT The Forge 😅)... Is it that the terms were originated by TF and TF is poison, or that the terms were afterwards poisoned by TF? I'll have to google what TF is in the first place...

What's the issue with using those terms to describe design philosophies?

I really liked the 3.Xe mock book covers... I just thought they looked really cool, and I guess it promised "a tome of adventure" or something. Just aesthetic appeal. I like cool art inside, the outside looking like crazy weird real-books was appealing to me; OPEN THIS TOME AND REVEAL ANOTHER...

YMMV, but with all the additional cool options, features, "stuff," in A5E.. some things, especially some combos, are gonna be busted, and it's gonna be up to you (and your players) to address them. I've had to do this a number of times... largely with the berserker, but some maneuvers as well...

I think it's easy to say this, and dismiss such things- but that doesn't mean that it isn't worth the attempt or the discussion. Examinations like this can be productive, even if you don't agree with them. But to say "it's too complex for you to understand or see the picture of, so don't...

But it's headed in a definite design direction Post-Xanathar's (IMO), and that direction may not be the one he imagined or desired.

I wonder what the alt cover Volo's and Xanathars are going for nowadays...

I'd say the only thing to remember is that donning/doffing a shield takes an action... the druid would have to be carrying (not wearing) the shield, then when the fight starts they'll drop the shield, BA shift, and action strap on the shield. Technically it'd take an item interaction to free the...

I'm not sure where you're getting that idea- freezing foods generally does not destroy "a lot of the nutritional value."

Yeah it's something I only learned a year or two ago- my wife's diabetic so it was very interesting to compare her blood sugar response to fresh rice or oatmeal, vs. the food after it'd been in the fridge or freezer overnight. Basically, refrigerating or freezing already-cooked starchy foods...

They're not in danger, they're posing for the camera.

I mean, it was a joke (make up for lower vitamin C by just eating more fries!) but... is that right? I thought the GI of most oils were zero.

Perhaps, but freezing cooked starchy foods (potatoes, pasta, rice) also drastically lowers their glycemic impact... so if that's a concern, you can now eat more fries to make up the difference!

OK so Nathan's aren't just crinkle-cut, they're jumbo crinkle-cut. So like, crinkle steak-fries. it's a significant difference, IMO. But they're my favorite.. I still appreciate ones regular nice n' crispy fries, though!

Nathan's Fries.. I'm not sure what they'd be classified as? I really enjoy sweet potato fries as well but I almost think they should be a different category.

I think LMoP also acquired the (deserved) reputation for being a particularly good starting adventure. Not sure why the others didn't take as well.

Always nice to see that there are folk even more crotchety than yourself.
