    Advice on megadungeon factions?

    I think this would be a good time to implement clocks. The factions all have their own goals and agendas, now you need to determine whether they advance them or not. Maybe every day or something they have a chance at advancing their clocks. Let them all have a chance at the same time, but the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Ohio also produced 7 (Kind of 8) presidents. which puts them at second place as far as President producing states. If Ohioan's weren't trying to flee the planet, they were instead so distraught that they tried to take their grievances all the way up the ladder and fix things themselves!

    Today I learned +

    I know this is an American Pie reference, but it's spot on.. Every year there'd be rumors and stories about which kids got down at band camp. Late night bus rides back from competitions was even worse.. Get any group of like minded young people together and it's going to happen. I was friends...

    I know.. That was one of my first thoughts as well.. I wonder if Bezos has floated the idea of incorporating a company town around some of the larger Amazon distribution centers.

    Today I learned +

    Here's what I learned this week... There's some construction on my commute so I was routed through a section of Pontiac, Michigan I'd never been before called the "Modern Housing Corporation Addition Historic District". In short, around a hundred years ago General Motors built a factory out...

    Spoilers The boys Season 4 (spoilers)

    I finally finished it. I don't know. It's weird. It just feels off from the rest of the show. Overall I liked it, but not as much as I liked the previous seasons. Sister Sage is a great character. I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel bad for Firecracker. She got what she wanted only to...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Have you gotten to the point where you're putting a lunch box sized cooler in your freezer?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Take a break. No need to jump right into a new game. Wrap it up, be glad it happened, and try some other stuff. I'm personally a big fan of modern yoyoing. It's my favorite hobby, if you're looking for recommendations.

    Bombarded with spam threads?

    Yeah, it's annoying. I report them, and the account, and then ignore it so I don't have to see them anymore. I just hope we're not blowing up the report system every time one comes around and accidentally making things worse for the mods.

    Critical Role Is Critical Role Scripted

    I guess I should have qualified my statement. Naturally not all home games strictly, and rigidly play by the optimal choices. I'm personally a big proponent of "Doing it for the bit" or eagerly biting at hooks, and going for drama over optimization.. I haven't always been that way, and I do...

    Critical Role Is Critical Role Scripted

    I think this is the big point that confuses people. Players in CR have slightly different motivations than players in casual home games. There's a very popular Magic: The Gathering Commander show called "Game Knights" that get's the same accusations, and they've talked about it in Q&A videos...

    D&D General Do You Use a DM Screen?

    If the guard does really really well, or really really poorly his bonus may not matter if there's like a 10 point delta between the player's roll and the DMs. Also.. If they're not actively looking anyway, what does it matter if they're hidden? Yes. Always keep the players guessing. Am I...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I love "Bardcore". What's really fun is to find generic minstrel music to play for ambiance, and then switch it over to a bardcore playlist and see how long it takes the players to notice. It's fun to be in the middle of the roleplay scene in the tavern and one of the players gets a weird look...

    D&D General Do You Use a DM Screen?

    I've seen table top lecterns before.. I'm not sure how mobile I'd consider them.. I'd imagine they're still pretty heavy and a bit bulky.. Just browsing the web it looks like a few places sell telescoping lecterns on microphone style stands.

    D&D General Do You Use a DM Screen?

    Haha. It might be a little bit of stolen valor.. You can buy them new on Amazon.. It's not like I'm still sporting my OG Trapper Keeper from the 90's or whatever. I'm approaching twice that age... But I guess here on EN World being 31 still puts me in "Young Whipper Snapper" range, relatively...

    D&D General Do You Use a DM Screen?

    I have a couple, and I really like them from a looks and vibes point of view.. But I've been using them less and less. A couple of sessions ago I started with it out, and ended up putting it away mid session, and last session I brought it, but didn't set it up. I DM out of a trapper keeper, and...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm a contractor working in a manufacturing plant. Our company makes us use a virtual desktop from site-owned computers (Which has it's own mess of problems) but they were down all morning. They finally started working, which means I have to work :(

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    But what if they're out there doing something heinous? Like putting pineapple on pizza? At that point would avoiding them even be possible? I think I'd be legally obligated to go tell them how wrong I think it is..
