I'll just leave this here.

Wow. He’s doing something wrong with those onions. It only takes about 1 hour to caramelize 3 lbs of onions.

I'm pretty sure the other 11 hours or so involve some sort of occult or religious ceremony...

A few big ones, a few survivors hanging on by their fingernails (EverQuest 1, amazingly, is still going, with graphics that are now decades out of date) and a few dead ones that have been resurrected by fans on their own servers.

There are still a fair number of folks kicking around Star Wars: The Old Republic, although it's one of those things where you have to be on at the right time of day. The Galactic Trade Network, where you sell all your items to other folks, however, is beyond ridiculous at this point - really stupid stuff is going for double-digit millions of credits...

Hacking away at the troll is pointless. They just regenerate. Since the use of open flames is frowned upon by the Master of the Dungeon, and acid is right out, I suggest disengaging and exploring a different corridor...

Can't use the Summon Monster spell to redefine the term "Trolling someone"

Shall we play a game?

Did you know that you don't have to play the new OneD&D?

You can keep playing 5E as-written. Or if you're feeling really nostalgic for the way things used to be, you can play 4E, 3.X, or my personal favorite, BECM. You don't need to apologize for stuff you enjoy...hell, you don't even need to explain! And you certainly don't need to win over some arbitrary number of strangers on the internet to agree with you. Nobody can stop you from getting out your old books, calling up your friends, and playing whatever game you want.

I know, it sounds fake...a little too good to be true. But I fact-checked it and it's all real! There's no need to ruin your blood pressure over what other people like.

But FOMO!?

If finding a non-OneD&D game is as hard as finding a non-5E game, then yeah…you either play the new hotness or you practically don’t play.

Which is incredibly amusing when people say the intent is just to clean up the rules a bit to make it easier for new players and not create a surge in book sales. WotC knows exactly what they're doing here.

Considering they’re rolling back 95% of the proposed changes, this revision amounts to a very expensive errata. At least the DMG is getting a proper redo, hopefully. Wonder if anyone will read it…
