    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Kpop Demon Hunters was really cute, and they did some interesting world building. I think it would take work but I could see it actually being an alright set.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Mine too. Fall is the best time of year. Comfy sweaters, dark beers, good food. Plus, we never get to eat turkey and stuffing the rest of the year for some reason. We should have a second Thanksgiving in May, so we don't have to go so long between them.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    I don't know about that. Thanksgiving is still a hugely popular holiday in the US. It's one of the few ones that lots of people still get off. Even some of the poor retail and service drones are lucky enough to be off that day. (Though usually unpaid) Things change over time though. I think...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I'm an active M:TG player.. I'm going to the LGS tonight to play Pioneer. There's a few misconceptions going on here. Lorwyn has sort of gotten the same treatment as 4E D&D. It was largely panned at the time. For one thing, it came out late 2007, right at the dawn of a recession, and it also...

    General video game discussion

    I really enjoyed Witcher3. I played through it on PC, and was kind of eh of the idea of it on Switch. A friend of mine played through it that way though and thoroughly enjoyed his experience. It's impressive that they were able to make it playable on the Switch. I really need to dust off my...

    General video game discussion

    From the 1st to the 12th of this month Monsters and Memories did their longest open beta test so far. It's an old-school inspired MMO that borrows heavily from games like EverQuest. I hopped on for the second week and played a Gnome Elementalist up to level 5. It's... Okay... I think it's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    This is what I was thinking. My first thought was "15 bucks for a small supplement isn't bad at all." If it included more of what I wanted (Or if I hadn't read this thread and known that it lacked the content I had hoped for) and it was a PDF instead of Beyond I probably would have snapped it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sure, someone, somewhere in the business will need a computer.. But we're talking about a single position here I think. Someone wanting to disconnect with tech could potentially be that server working their low-tech job and not also be the person handling orders and invoices.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    We bought a house this Spring, and our inspector used an iPad. He was able to go over everything with us there at the house from it, and then emailed us a nice collection of photos, and even a slideshow covering everything he went over during the inspection meeting. Tech is making it's way...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, maybe a little mom and pop style restaurant. There's a few of those near me. Just got pizza with my partner and her parents Monday and the waitress took our order on a little order book and gave us a hand-written receipt. Cashed out at a traditional cash register.

    D&D 5E (2024) GMs: How long should it usually take to go from level 1 to 4?

    I voted for 5-6, but was considering the "When I say so" option. It seems like a lot of folks here share, or have similar mentalities to my own. I like to consider my campaign as happening in "Chunks" or "Episodes". I'm kind of hoping it pans out like Diablo 2, honestly. A set of quests, all...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    This thread makes me sad. I was looking forward to this product but it seems like it's lack-luster. Lorwyn is a largely beloved MTG plane because it had an interesting theme, and really wonderful art. I recently found a foil Spellstutter Sprite at a game store and it inspired me to put together...

    Various Solutions For Tabletop Dungeon Terrain

    A 3D printer calls to me like the Green Goblin mask.. And this post certainly hasn't helped.. I may use a portion of my bonus this year for one.. My girlfriend is going to be so annoyed with me

    Various Solutions For Tabletop Dungeon Terrain

    I've goofed around with some little makeshift things. Take some gift-wrapping paper with 1in grids on the back, and wrap stuff with the grid facing out. You'd be surprised what you can make by wrapping weird bowls, or toys, or boxes, and then coloring with some markers. Another thing I did...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I find myself doing that more and more these days. Often times I find myself going "What's the point?" I find myself putting in a lot of effort and restraint to try and contribute to a good-faith and well meaning argument or discussion, and I stop and ask myself "What are the odds of this...

    Anticipatory Grief

    I sorry to hear your news. My partner also works in the veterinary field as a tech. It seems like such a challenging field to work in. Pets are such a strangely special thing. They are so impactful on our lives, despite only being part of them for a relatively short while. I'm sure you've...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I also enjoy brutalist architecture but yeah, I don't think it works for cars. It's interesting, because I also find myself missing the era or more squared cars. Old pick up trucks with squared off angles looked sharp. I learned to drive in an early 90's Lincoln town car and I loved the long...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I worked at BestBuy when I was younger, and a guy came in asking for advice. He and his wife were young parents and had filled up their phones' memory with pictures and videos of their new baby doing baby stuff, and they didn't want to pay extra money to expand their iCloud storage, and he heard...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    As someone who has worked in retail, customer service, and sales, this is one of my favorites. It really does hold true in a marketing sense. The idea being that say you are selling two products. A, and B. You feel that A is the stronger, and better product. So for your first run you produce...
