    Streaming Services: First 2023 POWER RANKINGS (And what's up with Prime?)

    Wow, that David Zaslav guy sure is popular. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/david-zaslav-booed-boston-university-graduation-writers-strike-1235497440/

    D&D General Deep Thoughts on AI- The Rise of DM 9000

    The voices seem a bit off but it's certainly interesting.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    And stray from the MCU formula? Blasphemy!! ;)

    He did but I think whacking someone with your lute is really stretching what a weapon should be.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    I enjoyed the movie but was baffled why Pine's character never had a weapon.

    Which of these six is the best H.P. Lovecraft story?

    It's been so long since I read them but I went with The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I remember loving that story

    Comedy and comedians…

    I don't watch much comedy but recently I have watched a bunch of Ricky Gervais. Hysterical!

    It's time to make fetch happen: Barbie Teaser 2, Now With More Gosling

    I never would have thought I would have any desire to see this movie but it looks like a riot. I won't see it in theaters, but I will see it.

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    Luckily, I have Oreos and I believe I shall have some soon. :) As I said in my prior post, we obviously are defining our terms differently and since that's the case this will just become a circular discussion (well, already has). I'll bow out instead of continuing, and if you get your hands on...

    WotC may have sent the Pinkertons to a magic leakers home. Update: WotC confirms it and has a response.

    Sorry Snarf, you are usually pretty good at adding nuance to the topics you engage in on these boards but here, in part, you failed on that front. You give a brief summary of The Pinkertons, even if it started a bit snarky, which does help to add some history to the conversation (did you Google...

    WotC may have sent the Pinkertons to a magic leakers home. Update: WotC confirms it and has a response.

    "I apologize for sending people to your home to intimidate you and to demand you return something that you didn't steal. You should just be grateful we didn't choose a more civilized, polite manner of contacting you and straightening this out with a conversation first because man, polite...

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    Obviously, we have different definition of cookie cutter, and I think yours is also different than the poster you originally responded to about this. If there are two wizards in my campaign and one has a 16 intelligence and the other an 18 intelligence then assuming each is the character's...

    I think you are really bending the intended meaning of "cookie cutter".

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    What?!?! You're saying people talk past each other on the internet. That's just crazy! ;)

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    There may be a semantic difference between unlucky and unfair but I doubt many younger players, and some older, are going to look at it with that level of nuance. Player A will just see that his highest roll is a 15 and Player B has a 16 and an 18 and feel like it's unfair. In the end it is...

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    I have done some reading and maybe figured out what a stat draft is and if it works for your group then great, but I don't think I would ever implement it. Everyone's group is different but depending on the group dynamic this seems like it could be a really bad idea. My current group has some...

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    I wasn't aware that the standard array was a thing. Is that a 5E thing (which I don't play) or has it been around longer and I just ignored or missed it? While that seems to go a long way towards achieving balance it seems really boring to me but, of course, your mileage on that may vary.

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    I understand that completely. When my players choose to roll I always tell them to keep in mind that some of them will be over-powered and some under but they shrug it off, even when I tell them I may or may not compensate for that in game as the DM. Sometimes they just think the randomness and...

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    How many of you have your players roll their characters rather than point buy? When I run a D&D style game its usually Castles & Crusades but spent a looong time running Pathfinder 1E and D&D before that. I always give my players the choice and while they usually chose point buy it isn't...
