    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    No way man.. I'd 100% lose an appendage in the first hour

    WotC D&D Historian Ben Riggs says the OGL fiasco was Chris Cocks idea.

    Man.. I really liked Ben's book.. And I was really looking forward to a potential sequel. He kind of teased it at the end. But everything I've read from the guy outside of the book as been a bit of a turn off.. Even if he's not wrong (In the case of the Gygax Sexism receipts), he's kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development"

    The leaders, and the team can understand these things as much as they want.. I was more thinking that it's going to be harsh that probably every game review will inevitably compare it to BG3. Every YouTuber, every streamer.. It's like finding out your girlfriend's Ex was a body building, fire...

    D&D General Shocked how hard it is to get new players now-a-days

    Are you willing to run a game? It might be worthwhile to offer to run a second table at the comic shop if they have room/would allow it. Stealing 4-5 players off of a 10 player group would probably be just as beneficial for them as it would be for you.

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development"

    The bar is so high now, that both Larian's next game, and Baldur's Gate 4 will really struggle to match it. They will both live in the massive, overwhelming shadow of BG3 and hopefully can succeed despite that. The article is funny though, because it's talking about actual, tangible effects...

    House of the Dragon spoiler thread

    A lot of moist squishing, and peeling noises, along with resetting the leg bone.. Just makes for easy heebie jeebies.

    Good alternatives to proper miniatures?

    I've also just used spare D6s.. Which is helpful. You can place them numbered side up to differentiate them. So the die with the "1" facing up is the Goblin Shaman, and "2" is the warrior who already took damage, but "3" is the one that hasn't been hit yet. etc..

    Good alternatives to proper miniatures?

    I am tempted to buy an order of those Meeples. I can't find them now of course... But I purchased a package of "Peeples" which are kind of like the Meeples but plastic, and with round heads. I really like them, but I need to find a way to number them or something. 10 red goblins is fine.. But...

    House of the Dragon spoiler thread

    The bed scene with Aegon was pretty gruesome. I think the thesis of the episode was supposed to be "War is Hell, and Dragon War Doubly So". We had the scene of the dragon head being carted through the streets, and then Cole gushing about his shellshock to Allicent.. (If he's Sir Criston, does...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I've never actually played a Bard in D&D. My first BG3 character was one however.. And I think the next time I get to opportunity to play one I may roll up a bard. But yes.. Words can be deadly.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Hah. I'm going through my semiannual two-week mine binge at the moment. Found a seed that spawns you on a cute little island. I cheated in two tree saplings and have been going from there.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Right? Another one recently closed in the same area, and I think they put up this one to replace it. It's smaller and in a strip mall rather than being one of the big traditional stand-alone stores.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yesterday the girlfriend and I went to go check out a new Barnes and Noble that had recently opened. They had "The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons 1970-1977" on the shelf with all the D&D books. It's massive.. Like a textbook really. Sadly it was plastic wrapped so I couldn't thumb through...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The mobility scooters I can excuse. If you need one, I won't fault you for leaving it behind. I almost died a few years ago, and spent a couple months hospitalized. During the time after I was released I was considered "Temporarily disabled" and one of the biggest things, was just energy. My...

    House of the Dragon spoiler thread

    I think maybe she was thinking she killed Aegon and his dragon, and she thought if she could kill Vhgar, or at the very least cripple here she'd give her side a major advantage. Like trading a Knight or a Bishop for another Knight and the enemy's Queen. You lose a piece, but end up advantaged in...

    Today I learned +

    You know.. I forgot to mention it in the Quentin Tarantino thread when I was gushing about how much I love Django Unchained.. But I went out and purchased that soundtrack as well. There's a James Brown X 2Pac mashup on that track that is so good. It's going to be on repeat for me all weekend now...

    Cable companies are the worst. Where I lived in Central Ohio, it was Time Warner, and then bought out by Spectrum. They were always great to me. When I called to get my cable connected the lady told me about about how the government was providing a grant for home broadband (This was in the midst...

    I previously had Spectrum(Which is a TimeWarner subsidiary) and paid $30/mo for the first year and then it went up to $45 the year after for just internet. It was a drag. With that said, I had zero complaints about the service. I never had an outage, and always got great speeds. I moved to a...
