There is not, but as those rules are written aimed at newbies, they felt the need to explicitly state this kind of thing. :) Yes, assuming that for the purposes of the rule in question that "fighting" means attacking with a weapon or something other than a spell. Yup. Which would make it...

All good! Not taken as arguing but I appreciate the clarification. Yeah, it's a funky thing and I was assuming search was just giving us different results, not any actual controversy.

Both Tuesday and last night I did my current basic dumbbell work upper body routine for 3 circuits - flat bench, inclined curls, and seated lateral raises all with drop sets. Last night I was determined to hit triceps as well but people kept jumping on the machine and taking a while, so I...

I wonder if it's one which was edited down. I seem to remember (back when I still regularly watched network TV) that sometimes shows would have a longer theme and later in their run it was truncated/edited down. I assumed because an episode ran a little long or the network was trying to...

I was going to write something like Law & Order bass line has entered the chat, but double-checked and the L&O intro is also just under a minute. :LOL:

I've always seen "fighting" here being a specified kind of action. Attacking. So there's no issue casting while engaged, you just can't attack and cast in the same round. Some spells (like Cause Light Wounds) would be impossible to use if you couldn't cast them while engaged. Others, like...

We have a local/regional chain (Market Basket) which doesn't do self-checkout at all. Their 12 item or less express lanes are pretty good. They're known for focusing more on employee wages, development, and careers than other supermarkets. I had the Family Ties theme song leap to mind...

Did you run through the combat sequence step by step with BOTH sides acting in each step, as the example of combat implies, or did you have EACH side separately go through the combat sequence, one side doing everything and then the other side doing everything, as the rules instruct? I've seen a...

Your paraphrase "keep good records of in-game time" is distinctly less strident and directive than "YOU CAN NOT HAVE A MEANINGFUL CAMPAIGN IF STRICT TIME RECORDS ARE NOT KEPT." I think the text supports my description very clearly. I quoted him from pages 12 and 37. I could cite a lot of...

'78-'79 even. Although I've run a meaningful open table campaign while being substantially looser with the timekeeping between groups than Gary describes.

I will be less creative and quote to confirm. :)

Of course. That doesn't contradict my point, though. Even when saying that the DM can change things, Gary had firm opinions on how the DM had best understand the rules before changing them, and what rationale should be used for changes. But putting his name on it as author meant he took...

Well I know that you're thinkin' about me (ow!) 'Cause your curiosity has been piqued I may be 42 inches of sexy But I'm 69 feet of freak -Scanlan Shorthalt

This part makes sense to me. This bit surprises me; I read Gary as extremely prescriptive in many parts of the 1E PH and DMG. He definitely says you can and should customize the rules once you understand them, but he also spells out best practices and modifications to OD&D play procedures and...

This is related to the OP, but formatting like this (short bulleted descriptions and using bold, all caps headers, etc.) are a bit of a different concept than the three motifs and sensory guidelines ideas. I do really like this kind of layout and information presentation, though. Necrotic...

But in the joints? I had a bit of Graston-style scraping done in PT, with one of those dull blade tools, but it was muscular/fascial release work, not to a joint.

Found a couple of quick references. https://pollsandinsights.com/hospitality/diet-coke-a-beverage-with-surprising-demographic-divides/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/hbsworkingknowledge/2013/11/13/gender-contamination-why-men-prefer-products-untouched-by-women/

That was my whole point. Diet Coke is more bitter, so the flavor profiles would imply the opposite demographic split. But the actual split and marketing is based on the naming and branding, not the flavors.

Dr. Pepper Zero is the only canned soda I keep on hand routinely. And 2L bottles of Coke Zero. But 90% of the time I'm having lemon seltzer, so I go through diet soda quite slowly.
