[imagine the expression of disappointment with some of my fellow gamers that I just deleted]

Except the human brain sometimes sees or interprets patterns when there isn’t one (or not the one that seems obvious). Apophenia

Personally, when it comes to Supers games, I prefer a rules-light game that does not use a grid (minis are ok for general positioning, but not required). I say this because the setting for a superhero game can not only range over the space of many city blocks (or whatever) given flight, and...

Maybe it is just impossible to read any thread without coming away with a distaste, if not for pizza itself, than anyone who talks about eating it, no matter how they prefer it.

The learning curve is not too bad and if you already have experience with Publisher, it should not be too difficult. The thing I would be sure to check on is making sure boxes snap to others, but using copy/paste to create multiple boxes of the same size helps. Tables work well too. The...

I think Owlbear Rodeo is perfect for groups that still prefer playing paper and pencil style but have to use the internet to play because of time or distance. The two online games I am involved in still use paper character sheets.

Me and a few members of my gaming group picked up our PHBs at Gen Con. We were so psyched and we played 3.0 (later with some 3.5 stuff thrown in) for 16 years.

Me too! (See previous post)

I homebrewed level drain away for HP damage that can only be restored on consecrated ground (through rest or magic) long before 5E ever came out (back in 2E days) and I still use a version of this in 5E.

Hey when nothing current seems very interesting or valuable I start perusing older threads!

No Dragonborn in my current setting. Lizardfolk are the alternative choice (and according to some of their cultural legends they are descended from dragons). They have tails (and splayed feet) that grant them Advantage on any skill check or saving throw to keep their balance. Their claws give...

It is amazing that I definitely didn’t know what all those Latin initialized signals meant as a teen, but it didn’t matter because despite their ubiquity I somehow never noticed them. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Almost my entire history at ENworld are people saying that the very things my D&D groups are doing are impossible or game-breaking in whatever edition we happen to be playing. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Currently my one in-person game is played downstairs in my basement game room (I am actually in the middle of drawing up plans to redo the whole thing to make it both a better crafting space and gaming space. I have a toddler but she’s always been a great sleeper and has no problem going to...

I am actually in a current 5E game where there is some times a 1 or 2 level disparity between PCs, but advancement is so blazingly fast, I have never even noticed. Heck, to be honest, I would prefer much slower advancement even if it was just my character and everyone else wanted to keep the...

This is actually the most astounding bit to me, because I did not remember. . . actually, since I am not sure I ever even knew that, "not remembering" is not even that accurate (we only ever played that nat 1s were an auto miss). But do remember all that other stacking specific powerful magic...

I find discord not as user friendly for reading back or posting specific threads in a clear way. Plus discord is constantly trying to push add-ons and upgrades. Annoying AF. I do use it for some specific D&D campaigns but anywhere beyond a handful of people for a very focused use make it...

I think I need a smaller and more focused non-discord place to discuss D&D and other RPGs.

Whew! I nearly posted in a thread but then suddenly realized the conversation was pointless AF.

Not sure about the current owners but when my wife and I checked out the Goonies house in 2013 the owners were pretty generous with letting people look from the outside (there was no filming inside the actual house, if I remember correctly ) and take pix but soon after i learned the few rules...
