There’s a video of a guy standing on a balcony or walkway, messing around with a taser/stun gun. Predictably, he manages to shock himself. And because of the resultant convulsions, someone looped it into a techno video. I’d post it, but there’s so many “man tases himself” videos out there, I...

I haven’t read it, but I’m very familiar with the content. Facepalms incarnate. I’m thinking it’s some kind of grift, TBH.

Yep. They’re dead wrong, but they’re armed & stupid. Haven’t seen that one, but I’m glad he’s gotten pushback…and a tasing. I think the stupid ones comprise the bulk of the ones you see in the police & court videos. I don’t know that the “masterminds” ever do anything dumb enough to get in...

That’s been typical of the past few years, but this year, we might not have hit 30. We have TONS of stuff left. I didn’t even do a complete refill of my black pot.

Saw this today:

Pan sear + oven finish is pretty common in the restaurant industry, along with pan sear + sous vide, grilling and pan cooked. I don’t know that anyone does 100% oven cooking.

Zero Hour is fast approaching, but no visitations just yet. I’m ready, though: https://imgur.com/gallery/this-is-candy-ZclO1EL

…when that couple on the other end of the tavern gives you this look…

A rivalry that should have been immortalized on Celebrity Death Match or Epic Rap Battles.

For no good reason at all, I’ve been binging on Sovereign Citizen case videos on YouTube for a few days. It’s astounding stuff. Each arrest or court appearance involves a collection of legal jargon turned into such a massive blob of meaningless gobbledygook that it boggles the mind. Some of...

One of the guys I gamed with the longest played a human wizard 90+% of the time I played D&D with him. From AD&D to 3.5Ed, his PCs spell lists were identical. His 4Ed wizard was a departure- he was an elemental specialist. IOW, he’s a real-world version of Brian Montgomery VanHoose from...

Floyd Rodger Meyers has died. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/fresh-prince-bel-air-child-035721090.html

There’s probably others, but The Fantasy Trip was an early rules light FRPG from Steve Jackson Games. It was played on a hex grid with flat cardboard game pieces. It was a little more wargamey than AD&D, and had fewer options, but it was still robust enough to run straightforward adventures or...

Mod Note: My peeps, this thread is racking up an oversized amount of reports, usually for excessive snark, stirring the pot, and other uncivil behavior. MOST of it hasn’t risen to the level of requiring moderation. But we have to investigate every report. Which means that it takes time and...

In the time before ubiquitous cell phones, I had one player who showed up 24 hours late. (He had the wrong date on his schedule.)

I was a fan of the original Fuzzy Knights of the Round Table- an homage/spoof of Knights of the Dinner Table. It launched in 1990, and it was collected in a series of trade paperbacks in 2002 or so. KoDT holds a warped mirror up to the RPG hobby, with tales of munchkins, power gamers, and...

Definitely. The lecturers noted that there may be client agreements that limit or bar the use of AI, and that trumps your firm policies or individual preferences. The lecturers also pointed out things that surprised me, like that some of the larger firms are developing their own in-house AI...

Over my 48 years in the hobby, I’ve played a wide variety of types. But if I had to pick a #1, I’d guess that warrior-casters of some kind are what I play most of the time in fantasy RPGs. The rationale is that martial skills always come in handy and magic is a hallmark of fantasy. I play...
