    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    We do prime rib or leg 'o' lamb. Sometimes we will just do a ham.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ditching the Treasure Treadmill

    It may seem odd that PF1 remains my favorite fantasy RPG, but yeah 3E pretty much made me hate gold and magic items. Precisely the need to improve your stats and defenses which meant you often sold immediately interesting items for power ups. Magic items that do more numbers instead of cool...

    Battletech RPG

    I’m a huge Traveller fan so I support this. I actually been using the CE module in Foundry VTT for years to run Traveller games. Be interesting to see Mongooses version drop at some point.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Its the easiest thing to make on thanksgiving too which why the can is so odd. My recipe is super simple and not too different from yours. Ingredients; A pound of cranberries, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar Jar of Orange marmalade (I start with a healthy spoonful and then add to taste)...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    My favorite holiday really. Just a great meal with family and friends. I like stuffing and make many kinds like traditional, East coast with clams, White castle burger.... Oh, and cranberry sauce with actual cranberries and not the jello from a can stuff. (though im not put off if folks...

    New "Stargate" series announced

    See, I didnt think it needed a villain. Really it needed situation of the week. The separatist group was a great example of the kind of tension they could introduce. The maneuvering of Dr. Rush and Eli was interesting. I think all the ship is alive and spiritual fate type stuff really lost the...

    D&D 5E (2024) GMs: How long should it usually take to go from level 1 to 4?

    Even modern built games like PF2 the XP system is merely a tracking piece. 100XP for an encounter, do X amount of encounters and level up. It annoyed some folks how basic the math worked. I know folks who really enjoy XP, like Lanefan, want granularity to show progress independently based on...

    Friday Nonsense: Funniest Gaming Fails

    I got a doozy for y'all. Its Battletech but I dont care because the story is stone cold hilarious. The set up; Battletech is crunchy and then some. Memes galore demonstrate how many charts exist to adjudicate just about any situation. Most of the time a game runs pretty smoothly. Though, once...

    Killing Eve

    I’m with the folks that think it was good, dipped, and mostly recovered. I don’t think it bothered me so much as it is way down the list of shows that start great and go to crap.

    Oh right so anti-casual it has more players than ever. Queue “because it was named dropped on a tv show!”

    D&D 5E (2024) GMs: How long should it usually take to go from level 1 to 4?

    Thats not really any different with XP. They just beeline to activities that reward it. Often, at expense of what ought to be interesting to their character. When an XP opportunity exists is always GM whim too. Unless you declare "this woods has 117 XP within it" every time they travel.
