Younger. I was in that sort of second wave of 80s kids that hopped on with the Mentzer box set and only tasted 1e for a hot minute before 2e was released.

I'm winding down a "cut," having dropped 11 pounds in the last ~2 months. I have one more week on it to get to my goal body fat percentage. That coincides with a "deload" I'm taking on my training to get my elbows, knees, and shoulders to heal up a bit. Then I'm on to a slight (~200/day) caloric...

I've never had a gym with one before, and I've heard great things. As a Man of a Certain Age, it would be nice to try. :P

I'm deeply curious how you feel about it. Seriously.

10kg is awesome!!! Great work!

Thread necromancy time: How's everyone's routines and dieting regimens going? How did the summer work out (har har) for you?

A million times this. The natural fit for a Barbarian is probably Guide, which is the closest thing to Outlander in this version. And it's a terrible fit: no Strength bump and Magic Initiate may not work for someone who doesn't want magic as part of their character. Do you want your Fighter to...

I suppose I can see the merit of both approaches (let them rest vs. limit rests). I'm just a bit tripped up because I don't recall in the 2014 PHB a mechanic for recharging some--but not all--of an ability on a Short Rest. I believe the new Druid has something similar with Wild Shape. If you...

"You can use this class’s Channel Divinity twice. You regain one of its expended uses when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain additional uses when you reach certain Cleric levels, as shown in the Channel Divinity column of the Cleric...

I enjoyed M&M 2e, but as I got older, I found it to be crunchier than I like. Steve Kenson is a S tier designer, though, so when he put out Icons: Assembled, I was all over it. It's become my go-to for supers: it really marries a lot of what I like best about M&M with a skeleton that is clearly...

You've all ruined me.

"2" I understand the desire to minimize our collective complicity in corporate misdeeds via selective purchasing, 100%. When the initial hubbub around them trying to pull the OGL happened, I dutifully pulled my Beyond sub and explained why in the exit form. They corrected course, so I've let...

There are worse ways to play and learn. I kinda love this.

I think you're trying to kill us.

I like "Exarch" and "Paragon." I think "Exemplar" is also appropriate.

I'm running my group through Quest's version of Lost City, and we're having a great time with it. I'm curious to see if they simply flee the ziggurat or if they try to interact more with the City below. I've run the first few levels of the original with B/X. While I enjoyed it then, I have to...

As ever, I find myself agreeing with you. If you happen to have an opening for disciples, goons, and/or henchfolk, I'd like to forward an application. For me, however, what I find lacking in the DMGs is less about general advice and more about what I'll haltingly call "content" (what was that...

Brief synopsis of Snarf's latest batch of posts And I am here for it.

I'm running our first session of Infinite Staircase today. I'm doing away with the Staircase conceit and adopting more of the "in medias res" conceit of old pulp fantasy. We'll use Xanathar's downtime mechanics between modules to purchase stuff, but otherwise we're focusing on the adventures...

What kind of split are you doing?
