I wonder if a lot of terrible is that way because they aren't trying to get better.

I think I'm more than happy to give four sessions to it without huge expectations if it is being "reasonable" (doesn't need to be great, but has to be better than bad after a session or two and showing improvement if not good yet), and to continue if its trending well. Or similarly give some...

This popped up on BlueSky this week... and has got a bunch of answers from that site's denizens. Some of the answers reshared by Shannon Appelcline included: I don't think I have four that far from D&D and each other that I played more than two sessions. If you had to pick four what...

I don't have to keep replying, I don't have to keep replying...

I completely agree they should get a chance! If you have time for four gaming sessions a month, how many months of gaming will you use to give someone enough sessions of practicing and failing to be good enough? (Is there some set amount it takes people? That it is reasonable to take? That it...

I can generally manage to commit to one consistent night a week. And there are two groups of people I've played with in recent memory (including the current one virtually and the 2nd one in person) - each with a couple DMs if I'm not doing it - that I have had to choose between when there is a...

Finding people who can schedule you in and allow you to do that as much as needed, feels like it might be hard though...

That thing where you're missing a sequence of posts... but based on the ones you can see it is probably for the best because the ones you're missing are obviously totally not helpful.

Started rereading Nero Wolfe and had forgotten it starts off about beer. So, trip to the store to restock a little. The shop on campus is definitely responding to changing tastes - something like 20% of the former craft space given over to seltzer expansion and 10% given over to ciders. Much...

The BritBox activity this past month... All caught up and no new ones in the immediate queue (or evermore): The Inspector Lynley Mysteries (Seasons 1-6 - 2001-2008) Lynely (Season 1 - 2025) You can really tell the change in styles going from the older series to the newer one in terms of...

Covered, chunked, peppered, and topped is my go to if I'm at Waffle House. (Cheese, ham, jalapenos, and chili) Greek potatoes can be awesome, and there was a place at UIUC that used to have great Irish Nachos made from waffle fries. My favorite might be a double act - French fries with mashed...

DMG might be my favorite gaming book of any type. (Which is different from being a great book to use playing a game ..). But it has a bit of absolutely everything in it, from types of government to magic items to random thoughts on world building to all kinds of game rules I must have read...

"British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie" Maybe it's different for those with/without Thanksgiving? Or those with/without Boxing Day? Or maybe it says something about the people who respond to surveys...

FTFY :)

I am neither in IT nor an IP lawyer, but I have a PhD so (judging from some others) I might as well be qualified for both. On the other hand, I don't have the money for a BMW...

Didn't Roosevelt want it even earlier than it is now? (I want to say it didn't particularly bump sales when he changed it?) I thought Lincoln picked a late Thursday in November? (And then there was an issue when it fell on the last day of the month iirc).
