    What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

    Just finished Death by Lightning on Netflix, a nice 4 part miniseries about President James Garfield and his assassin. Awesome to see Michael Shannon playing a sympathetic lead. I've mostly seen him play villains, though he's always good. Matthew MacFadyen, Betty Gilpin, Nick Offerman (as...

    But The Back Room in Stockbridge, MA was indeed Alice's restaurant.

    What's the best potato?

    Rosti/latkes/potato pancakes are awesome. I think by "tots" the OP was referring to "tater tots".

    What's the best potato?

    I voted fries, but good roast potatoes tossed/crisped in duck fat are up there, or potatoes pave.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    One of my friends/former partners has lots of small pieces, acquired over time and sometimes as souvenirs while traveling. They're not line doodles, and they fit into themes. One limb has pokemon. Another has food-themed pieces. Another has spooky/ghost-themed pieces.

    Can Someone Explain the Basics of Palladium/TMNT?

    Great job! I never played that much, so I was going to have to dig out the book to answer nearly that well. Definitely one of the things that jumped out from memory was how certain skills could add to your ability scores or other capabilities (like that bonus attack for being trained in...

    Not All Christmas Music Is Terrible (Your Music Links)

    A few of us have sung this one in chorus at the UU Solstice celebration for the past few years. I expect we'll be doing it again this Dec 21.

    Tuesday I took off. Wednesday evening: Smith inclined barbell bench 70x21, 90x9 +80x6, 90x9 +80x4 +70x4, 70x14. Dropped 1 on set one, 1 net on set two, and 1 rep on each of the drop sets on three. Seeming pretty stalled here. I want to keep consistent, but I added the fourth set to try to...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Turkey is synonymous with Thanksgiving in the US. Some folks also have it for Christmas. The Chinese food and a movie thing is an urban minority, originally mostly Jewish folks and some non-religious, or people living far from their family who got in on a good idea. Most of us still do big...

    Was Peacemaker a precipitating event, or is this all you with no credit to John Cena required?

    AD&D 1E Best 1E AD&D rulebook?

    No argument there. Arguably the most useful part of MM2 is the introduction of using d8+d12 for random encounter charts, which is a nice little tweak giving a flat center of equal probabilities to the bell curve.

    TBF most of the monsters you just named originated in modules, and were later reprinted in the FF. Even if the FF did introduce them to a wider audience, the Underdark had already been populated with all those iconic ones.

    There is a lot of cool stuff in there, and yes, the extraordinary Russ Nicholson art. There's a lot of dross as well, unfortunately. In case you haven't seen it before, there's a 1E solo play campaign journal on Dragonsfoot in which the player uses the Fiend Folio tables for all the...

    At least one of the Wax Trax guys streams on Twitch sometimes and I've caught a couple of DJ sets on there.

    That would be cool. One time I just showed up on the day, and let me tell you the pickings were slim! :LOL:
