The American colonies were in an odd place in that they were established by royal charters rather than any act of Parliament. When petitioning Parliament proved to be ineffective, the colonists tried petitioning George directly. And they'd suck up to George, telling him they're loyal subjects...

At least here in the United States, to observe a holiday means you participate in it.

As an American, my stance was it's sometimes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which had connected them to another. I didn't really get a in depth education about the subject until I was an undergraduate and it was the first time I had gotten the British perspective on...

As an undergraduate, I remember getting into a rather heated, uh, let's say debate, with an Englishman over whether the Colonies were justified in breaking away from Great Britain. I haven't watched the documentary yet, but I intend to.

Don't overthink things. When you're creating a setting, start with some generalities and don't worry about having all the details filled in unless you think it's important for the next scenario. You said you like creating things like maps, which is pretty cool, but don't feel as though you...

The vest laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. My original plan was to put Chewbacca in the hatch and maybe add some Ewoks to the base. This is a captured AT-ST used against the Empire. But given the cost of Legion Ewoks, I decided against it. Instead, I will be able to switch our...

If I had a DM introduce this rule into their game I'd quit. I dislike equipment degradation in most video games and would absolutely despise having to keep track of it in D&D. This rule would absolutely suck the fun out of D&D.

We usually did turkey on both Thanksgiving and Christmas in my family.

I don't either. But you don't save up your copper pieces until you have enough gold to purchase the ship, that's boring. You steal it from a rival kingdom, accept it as a gift from the queen when you announce your intent to save the princess's fiancé from the Isle of Lemure, do a favor for a...

D&D was built with the treadmill as a core element of play. PCs go on adventures to gain experience and treasure, allowing them to become more powerful, which allows them to go on more difficult adventures, gaining more experience and treasure, and so on, and so forth. It's worked for World of...

This is where we have philosophical difference. For me, D&D is a game of high adventure. We're kicking down doors, fighting vicious beasts, battling evil wizards, winning the <ahem> "hearts" of beautiful NPCs, plundering the treasures of lost civilizations, etc., etc. We're not poring over...

If it makes you feel any better I'm ruing the day. Ruing, I say!

I'm currently at the tail end of a Greyhawk campaign I've been running for a year. As commonly happens, we reached a point many levels ago where gold ceased to have any meaning. The player characters couldn't purchase better equipment, finer food, or a nicer home, so treasure was essentially...

Observe it? I own it. I am death to turkeys. My typical Thanksgiving consists of me overeating and then napping. It's glorious.

The recommended starting level for 2024 is level 3. So it will take even less time to get to level 4. Less than 3 sessions.
