That's not actually true. I guess everyone here knows what you mean, but regular people do not. I deal most often with "normies". And c'mon. Four keystrokes are harder than three? How silly.

My group, and my game store, calls it "D&D" and only if there is a danger of confusing anyone we call it the "new books" and only here do I call it 2024. I only rarely need to speak of it as 5e. My comment about 19th edition was mostly to point out how silly it is when people insist that it...

That's part of my point: People who played 3.5 are fixated on the idea of half editions. Half editions are not a thing. It was a gimmick used ONCE, 20 years ago, for precisely one "edition", and part of the community won't let it go. They called 4e Essentials 4.5. They retconned the 2e Black...

Loklafd will ask: Once we have it, what then? Where do we go? And, will the rest of us wait here?

Because that's a fundamentally stupid name. I'd rather call it 19th Edition, which is, I think, what it actually is. (Edit: I'm not actually advocating for "19th Edition".)

No she isn't. She's from New Jersey. She's an American. Her family is from Pakistan. She was created by a Muslim-American and a Filipino-Canadian - not to be a "token" anything, but to represent someone that wasn't represented in comics.

Nah, that would work too.

I sell playmats, and I've never seen one used at any of my many D&D tables. Magic? Every Friday night, everyone has one.

Of course it is! But where is the fun in that?

I thought that we would plan it out in minute detail, arguing all the way, then finally agree, get started, and then suddenly all go our own way at the very first step. Isn't that how it always goes?

Looking closer, Terrin found a rune that was incomplete, but spotted a ten-pound chunk of stone that was lying in the dirt a few feet away that looked like it would complete the symbol, if placed in the missing spot. It was only a piece, of course, and nothing would move the many-tons of stone...

It certainly could be tried!

I fell behind in this thread. Have we planned the organized coup yet?

For those that don't remember: Bjorn (in Frog Form) came very close to being "eaten" (well, chomped anyhow) by the Hydra. My wife rolled an attack that missed! We also rolled randomly to see if it would give chase, and it turned out to be "too lazy". Otherwise, it's possible that Team Lake would...

"Guarding" is a bit strong. "Sitting on" or "Sleeping near" is a closer fit. Effectively the same thing, though!

Honestly, SanFran is too nice to be Baldur's Gate. I think BG might superficially look a bit like SanFran, but its personality is more like Los Angeles. Toronto works, too, like HT says. That would make Ramazith's Tower the CN Tower. I can see it. EDIT: Oh wait, HT said BG is Calgary. Hmm....

Sure, but he set them all along a Western Coast. I'm sure you're right, but they can work in multiple ways. For example, Americans could also consider Neverwinter to be Seattle, if they were inclined. It's true that Waterdeep isn't much like Seattle, so it only works the way I like to...

Probably Seattle. Why wouldn't WotC want to be in Waterdeep? Baldur's Gate is San Francisco. It's even got a big bridge and a rock in the bay.

You gotta check your autocorrect! Hilarious.

My RL family might be from "the Dales" if you go back far enough, but we've been in "Neverwinter" for six generations!
