I would probably allow either skill to be used. Heck, I might let someone try Athletics to burst their bonds (though the DC might be higher).

I do not think of people as fixed beings, for we change in ways small and great throughout our lives. But there are some things that resonate deeply within each of us no matter other changes. If I had to pick one edition to play for the rest of my life, I'd be hard-pressed. I'd probably choose...

Beagle's I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons was spectacular. Magical, profound, and whimsical. Now I'm reading Winter of Magic's Return by Pamela F. Service.

What I love about wasabi peas is that they are a self-regulating snack.

1,000+ pages in, it remains important to remember that this all began with LaNasa trying to take legal action against Wizards of the Coast, not the other way around.

A sadly arachnophobic no. I can recognize that art as great, but I don't want to be staring at a spider every time I need to crack open the DMG.

I finished up John Jakes' On Wheels. It was an adrenaline-fueled and dark vision of the future. The central conceit is perhaps far-fetched, but the story is carried forward on its own momentum. And I can't help but feel like it was an influence on the first Mad Max movie. Now I'm onto I'm...

Arguably one of the least-appetizing types of pizzas I've ever seen. When I look at that thing, I am for once thankful I am lactose and gluten intolerant. When I was a little kid, I didn't like melted cheese (I was a weird kid, what can I say. Slices of cheese were just fine.), so the only...

Altoona-style pizza has entered the chat:

On the converse, my group is loving Cyberpunk Red. Combat is fast and impactful - one player said that they approach combat very differently compared to 5e, when a short rest can undo most of the aftereffects of battle. The biggest hiccup we ran into was netrunning outside of combat, but I...

My twin brother is a big Firefly fan. So I got a lot of evangelizing on it back in the day.

Finally finished The Sword of Shannara. There's still a large amount of nostalgia in re-reading it. But it really is a lot of book. Not just in page count (it's going to be a long time before I pick up a 700+ page book!), but in terms of plot. It crams events from the entire LOTR trilogy into a...

Interesting. When that would have come out, I was solely running in a homebrew setting.

Until 3e, I barely ever bothered with published adventures. From BECMI to 2e, I just wasn't good at bringing at running them. I started to get the hang of it in 2e, but still didn't use them much. It wasn't until 3e, particularly with Necromancers Games' modules, that I finally got the knack of...

In my last DCC campaign, the Wizards went almost the entire campaign without accruing Corruption. I was so excited when during the last few sessions, boom, face on the back of their head!

Divorcing it from my favorite characters, I'd have to go with the Ral Partha three-stage progression minis and the Mirliton Demogorgon mini (painted by me here). It's weird and eldritch and weighty, perfectly evoking the demon lord.

Dwarf, easily. My beard would be even more majestic. And I really could use that +2 bonus to Constitution, which assuredly ended up being my dump stat in real life!

The DCC Corruption artwork is one of my favorite zero-to-hero (err, eldritch monstrosity) progression illustrations:
