This is what I'd attribute it to as well. When you go to Walmart or Target they sell TONs of board games. You probably won't find anything really obscure or indie, but they have loads of what you could consider the "Gateway Drugs" of the board game world, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, etc...

I started out sharing a set with the table.. It's not the worst thing in the world. Usually only one person is rolling at a time anyway. Plus I'd bet most of these kids have phones where they could get dice rolling apps, They could use a deck of cards.. Red cards are 1-10, black cards are the...

I say this nearly daily.

Personally I'm just a fan of eating my day old pizza cold.

I think if I were in charge I'd only try to hire one big name actor for it. Perhaps cast them as the villain. Maybe Christopher Lloyd would make a good lich in a family friendly action-adventure flick. Following in the theme of flashing back and forth from the "Real Life Players" to the "Heroes...

I'd knock off The Princess Bride. Replace grandpa reading a book to his grandson with a group of kids playing D&D. Have one kid be the reluctant one who didn't want to play, and ends up being the hero in the end.

My first apartment didn't have a microwave, and that was rough. In a way it was kind of nice, because I feel like reheating things in a pan or the oven probably led to higher quality left-over meals.. But it was a drag to have to use the stove anytime I wanted to heat something up.

*Shamelessly stolen from twitter.

I've downgraded my interest from "cautiously optimistic" to "I'll believe it when I see it". I think it was just last week that the news was the show is dead. Now it's got a new showrunner? Even if it does see the light of day, I wonder how it will shape up?

I love these pictures.. And then you compare them to the 100gb+ flash-drives piled up precariously in a bin next to the register as an impulse buy item at Micro Center.

Why waste time and energy with four strings, when two work just fine?

This is something I'm going to try and start doing. In a previous session my players mentioned that I don't let them roll enough dice. I think it's a problem that has come from trying to solve another problem, mainly that I don't make them roll for simple things. Player: "Can I climb over this...

Ya know.. That's kind of a hard line for a BBEG bent on world destruction to drop. "All around the world.. Statues crumble for me.. "

If I've learned one thing from spending years on hobby-centric forums, it's that there's a whole heap of people in any hobby... Who spend too much time complaining online about their hobbies on hobby-centric forums. If I've learned two things from spending years on hobby-centric forums, it's...

They often have things like Game Knights Live at MagicCons, which are fun shows.. But unless the Queens in question already play Magic, it's probably a harder sell. You can get someone who has little to no experience in D&D, but is willing to play along, and have a fun D&D session. MTG is much...

My Impreza can break 30 but I have to try really hard.. Be very conscious with the shifting, and drive like a saint.. My record on a road trip is 33. If I drive in a way that allows me to keep up with all of the death wish having loons that populate Michigan's roads I get more like 24mpg.. My...

I've never been to WaWa, I think I lived on the wrong side of PA. But I've been to quite a few Sheetz (Which are finally expanding into Michigan.. Hopefully they bring Yuengling with them) and a lot of them wouldn't be bad spots to hang around at.. Especially if the weather is nice. A lot of...

I don't think we're going to see a massive amount of stand-alone charge stations.. But I can certainly see a future where every grocery store, every Wal-Mart, restaurants and other businesses where you're likely to spend half an hour or more start to install two to a dozen chargers in their...
