Don't summoned creatures disappear at 0 hit points - but you can still incapacitate with like hold monster/person?

I've been watching (possibly too many) British murder mysteries lately. My brain is now trying to imagine a case where someone calls in to report finding a body and says "Help! It's my husband... he's destroyed. Come quickly!" instead of "Help! It's my husband... he's dead. Come quickly!"...

I sometimes look up a map (building(a) at college, Biltmore, etc...) and imagine what I would put in it that would make sense.

I have to (at least temporarily) block folks when I run into that.

For reference, rough estimate of when different technologies hit in real life. D&D General - Technology in D&D, the IRL Timeline, and Pausing It. Also, I would love a Brisco County era Steam Punk meets old west version of the PHB.

I do the same when I play 5e and have no problem with it usually. My big complaint (after getting in 5e mode) is when we would like to go try to revive an NPC or monster who just got knocked to 0 (maybe an enemy to question or ally to save) and the DM has them all just be dead at 0 like RAW...

Right. In the 2024 rules, any DM-favored creature or one with a PC aura who is knocked to zero from bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, whatnot and doesn't die, can rest for 1-4 hours and then an hour more after waking and pop up mostly restored (sometimes), or rest for 9-12 hours and pop up...

Apparently not all species traits are superficial...

Meat points or partial meat points worked fine for me back in earlier editions. I could imagine it as a simplification. 5e feels very different. It seems to imply a lot of differences in physiology vs. the real world and much of my favorite fiction if one can be beaten, bludgeoned, cut, and...

It feels like every series has one or two episodes featuring Amanita virosa. The only thing I might be less inclined to do over there than eating something with white mushrooms in it is going to London while Luther is there.

I am trying not to imagine the kind of case that it would take to draw Luther to Midsomer, Kembleford, or Saint Marie, where they might get a season's worth of body count in a single episode.

Looks like it's giving me the option of upgrading to the current $89.99 annual price (a $20 savings!) if I do it in the next month. Guess I will take that plunge (as they have our household hooked on cozy murder shows...).

Any non-ai powered search engine recommendations, as I keep forgetting to add -nai when I do the Google.

BBC streaming in US, Canada, and a few other places. From selected David Attenborough nature shows to Doctor Who to Sherlock and Luther. Lots and lots of crime/mystery shows. That was my plan when I got on there to watch the end of some detective show that had the earlier season's elsewhere...

Just got the email that Britbox is going up from $8.99/month to $10.99/month. (Now that I know I'm not using it for just one show, I should probably see if they have an annual rate).

If we can justify Amazon Prime and Walmart Plus (w/Paramount) as being free with the other things we wanted, PBS streaming being for the community good, and we ignore the cost of the internet connection itself, then we don't pay too much at all... Netflix with ads, Disney+, and Britbox total...

I had no clue there had been a Law & Order: UK. Haven't seen it, but was looking up where I might have seen an actress in a Death in Paradise episode before and it was in her IMDB list.

We usually get Sweet Baby Rays.

I'm gradually trying some sours to see if there is a flavor I like besides key lime. Pumpkin and jalapeno weren't great in a sour for me before, adding orange to that list. (All three were drinkable, but they aren't ones I'd reach for). Edmund's Oast Brewing Sun Kissed - "[W]e have dumped far...
