    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    CNN's markets page itself looks clean, but the articles might have a "Happening Now" banner about current news. AP's hub/financial-markets page has a small line of names of big news stories at the very top and is safe unless you scroll to the bottom - but doesn't have the current market values...

    Hit points as luck

    It feels like luck is a part of them, but having to use them as a resource feels like it might lead to some unintended issues (should sorcerers multiclass as fighters to have more to spend). A few were brought up in the thread: D&D General - Hit Points as a Spendable Resource (Feels bad even...

    Well, I need some. Not sure about the rest of y'all.

    The 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG Contest Submissions

    This got me trying to think of the most verbose entry I can imagine. And so I typed in what I think it might be... But then I thought that might be fun. And then I thought, that can't win, is there even enough time. And then I thought why not try? And now I'm desperately trying to get my...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Walk across campus for lunch, commenting on folks cutting limbs off a tree but having the cones blocking a path where limbs weren't falling. Inept = failure to ept? Deept <- losing a skill? Unept ?? Reept <- regaining a skill? Antiept ?? etc...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm just pondering the horror of being responsible for cleaning and wondering what is worse, the chocolate fountain mode for dessert or gravy fountain mode at breakfast.

    D&D General Homebrew or Premade Campaigns?

    Always homebrew, but I might swipe from other products to plug in.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think most of the dishwashers and cooks at a restaurant I worked at in high school smoked weed on their breaks. I don't remember any of them ever smelling skunky (or smelling noticeably enough of anything to get fired for it). Did they just have good weed, or is the skunkiness a new thing?

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Back around '81-'83 there was a group of 10-20 folks once a week playing in a game that a local comic/record/book/game store owner in Rockford IL ran. They ranged from maybe 7th grade to mid-40s and some had probably played with Gygax before the rules were published, and the players used...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    This thread doesn't say for everything what it particularly influenced in D&D, but has some thoughts on the "core" of Appendix N. D&D General - A shorter Appendix N In particular, see also posts #s 6, 7, and 8 in that thread

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    When I meet up with one of my former students at a conference he often finds us a Chinese restaurant with a menu all in Chinese and doesn't tell me what he's ordered for us. :-) (The other part of the time he'll suggest a Brazilian steakhouse, which invariably doesn't have many mysteries).

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Finished Wesley Chu's "The Art of Legend" (3rd of 3 in his War Art's Trilogy). He was aiming for a Wuxia style story and it feels like he got it to me - although my exposure to the genre is about three well known movies. Like with the other two, I really like the world building and martial arts...

    What's Your Price Limit?

    I can't even get past a bunch of things I don't buy often being stuck in my head with the prices they had 5 or 10 years ago, in spite of using adjustments for cost of living/inflation as examples on class all the time.

    What's Your Price Limit?

    I'm not claiming it is consistent or makes sense, but... I will easily drop $100 (USD) for a single physical book that I want sitting on my shelf even if I won't use it I will be fine paying $50 for a physical book that I want to use in a game I will easily drop $15 for a .pdf of something that...

    D&D 5E (2024) NPCs, and the poverty of the core books

    A druid/barbarian in a game I'm on usually has it ready at least once a day .. ...but it might be an item.

    I have the Avery one listed at the bottom - could definitely tell it was hi grav!! I don't rate the IPAs, Sours, or HiGravs since they aren't in my usual wheel house.

    Virtual Happy Hour (Brews & Spirits, Pics & Reviews)

    Tis the season. Five new (to me) pumpkin beers at one of the four big stores in town. Cautionary Tail Pumpkin Ale by Fat Orange Cat Brewery in North Haven, CT. 8% ABV ale with Pumpkin, Vanilla, and Spices. Lots of spice to start, and then a bit more pumpkin than I would choose. A solid...
