Pokerface was great! And we enjoy Elsbeth.

I haven’t picked up any of the Frameworks minis from WizKids because they seemed overpriced, and your post confirms it. Sorry you had to actually shell out to know it for certain.

Yes. I award XP at the end of each adventure or (or more rarely) significant portion of a longer adventure, and there is some downtime. They earn XP every session but I just keep track of it.

I was just looking at my records for my in-person gaming group and realized, I only awarded XP once in 2024 and so far only once in 2025 (with slim to no chance it will happen again before 2026).

Yeah. A great starter module. I haven’t run it since the early 90s. But plan to run it to open my next campaign

I have certainly used the phrase but at the moment I cannot remember a specific instance because it has been literal decades. That said, I have mixed feelings about it because on the one hand, ideally for my style of play I want us all to embody our character and see the world through their...

You're gonna have to work a lot harder to get me to block you. ;)

There's that one person (well, more than one) that just posts sooooo much that even if you block them, their absence makes reading/understanding threads a little screwy.

Fantastic show that surpassed the book like few adaptations have.

I don't care what genre. I just want the characters to all be miserable. 🤷‍♂️

I always say my favorite movies (and tv shows) are the ones that make me feel like I have been getting punched in the stomach for two hours.

That was a pretty f-ing amazing episode of television.

Yes. I only know him from The Bear, but both my wife and I commented that it felt very "The Bear-y" not only b/c of the actor, but because of the themes of familial/generational trauma and not knowing how to function in relationships. There are actually a lot of plot parallels.

I saw Deliver Me From Nowhere (I think they changed it to add "Springsteen" to the title just before release) last night. I am a fan of Springsteen. Not a die-hard like some folks I know who have seen him in concert some ridiculous number of times (I've seen him twice) and listens to bootleg...

No doubt. I guess I my issue is that I always imagined them more as a CR 5 or 6 creature, which admittedly is my own thing. But I think your post brings up the good point that the tactics it employs and making use of the environment are crucial to making it a challenge at any CR.

This is perfect because the party is level 6 + some sidekicks - and mixed with other potential dangers of the area, CR 5 is closer to right for my needs.

I have this book and steal from it all the time. But I did not even bother to check if it had a version of an ankheg. But I had totally forgotten about this video (I have watched most of MC's videos at least twice) and watching it again, his take on the ankheg is on point and definitely where I...

So I have never (that I remember) used an ankheg as a DM (or faced one as a player). The adventure I am currently running for one of my groups suggests an ankheg encounter and I immediately thought it'd be a great opportunity to finally use one and have my group face off with what I thought of...
