In the case I referenced, I'd known these people for decades. One of the players involved was my oldest gaming friend, who I'd met when he was 16 and I was 18. I still get twinges when I think about it. But it was the right decision. That's obvious in the rear-view mirror.

Of course Dobies run toward zoomies from everything I understand (can't say much; our first dog ran to the zoomies, and would sometimes circle the living room hitting the floor only once in the cycle. She was a Belgian Malinois who hit 70 lbs at her peak, so this was, to say the least, alarming.

The problem is, of course, that sometimes getting away from it also leaves you with sadness, regret and the like. That can make it hard to bite the bullet, and sometimes it takes until getting away from it becomes clearly the lesser evil. I learned that when abandoning one of my two gaming...

You apparently get some very odd results when you have a puppy that was, essentially, raised by an adult cat. They apparently tend to grow up thinking of themselves as a big clumsy cat...

Its always amusing to see as you watch a cat pouncing on a GSD that outweighs them by a factor of six, the turning around and nose-flipping the cat halfway across the room, and then an hour later the two of them asleep with the dog curled around the cat. But like you said, its a thing of early...

I'm only halfway there with you. I mean, honestly, I find 4-hour sessions too short, so much less than that and I'll just take a pass. Which is probably no different than the people for whom its "face to face or nothing" but I'm not going to blame the rest of the world for my having what may...

I've seen cases where they did, but only when the cat(s) and dog(s) grew up together.

I suspect even were I more of a cat person, trying to introduce a kitten into a house with a GSD/heeler mix and a GSD/bull terrier mix would be, shall we say, a bad idea.

Yeah, back when I did a mix of freelance and contract editing, I hit that more than once.

Yeah, but at the end of the day, only a subset of end users want to do "new and unique" all the time. Even superhero gaming tends to run on villain books, and that's about as one-off centric as 95% of the hobby ever gets.

Of course that only works if you can cook a cheeseburger worth a darn.

Does "Its the only thing that doesn't involve cooking at home" count? Because I know of at least one interstate support town (which is to say a strip with a gas station, a pizza joint, and a couple other non-food places, along with a scattering of houses) that's like that. You can argue...

Is it bad that when I just glanced at this, I thought it had something to do with a particular Helluva Boss episode?

Depends how you count it. I personally think I'd call the things that happened to the Central American civilizations in that category.

Not like design trends don't have precedents usually, especially at individual tables.

If true, I wonder how much of that is the reach of 5e Advantage/Disadvantage.

I'm not sure about the second part, but at least as a priority, I think the first is pretty true--because the kind of fiction they're trying to capture isn't particularly concerned about that, either.

I updated both laptops yesterday, and so far mine seems okay, but if its a timebomb problem, it might well.

Not like there haven't been studies proving that, but apparently nobody believes them.

Yeah, I have to remind her of that.
