ARISE, my favorite holiday thread! It's a whole new Christmas season, and that means a whole new batch of Christmas music that doesn't suck. I'll kick things off with an excellent yuletide tune for the year: ABBA, "Little Things"

We're not running the 2024 rules (and won't be, anytime soon) so I voted for the campaign setting I would like to see regardless of edition: I'd love to see a wuxia/anime campaign setting. I mean, look at my avatar and tell me you're surprised.

Just last Sunday, we rolled up characters for our "Couples D&D Group" (three married couples who play D&D together). I'm the DM, and we have two half-orcs, a human, a dragonborn, and a faun in the party. It might not be the Fellowship of the Ring, but I wouldn't call it a "circus troupe" either.

Roasted tater is best tater.

Alternate punchline: Tolkien, at the bank depositing another royalty check: Golly, you're right. Maybe one of these days, I'll learn how to write a story that people want to read.

Random dweeb on the Internet: Why didn't (character) just (easy method) and destroy The One Ring that way, huh?! Tolkien, at the bank depositing another royalty check: Indeed. Remind me, which one of us is the successful storyteller?

In another corner of the Internet, someone was asking for feedback on a house-rule. I didn't think it was very controversial, but hoo boy, I was wrong. The house-rule? "Hey I'm thinking about adding the Find Familiar spell to the druid spell list. What do you think?" That's it. That's the...

Yeah, I didn't buy anything for Black Friday (or Cyber Monday) either. There are a few games I've got my eye on, but I'm content to wait until after the new year. I've got Silksong, I've got Stardew Valley, I've got Avowed and Veilguard and Blue Prince...I'll be juuuuust fine.

Most of the time, the goal of "making a full caster" is to create a list of 9th level spells--maybe a curated list of existing spells, or a bunch of brand-new ones, or a mix of the two. It's a worthy goal. A few years ago, someone here (or maybe on Reddit?) created a wizard subclass called the...

Yes, exactly. EXACTLY.

Why are BMW drivers like that?

My gargoyles are stone golems with a Fly speed and Multiattack (2 claws, 1 bite). Speed bump, indeed.

This is an algorithm I can get behind. Nice and simple, useful even. Makes the whole experience better for the user. Not a big fan of algorithms like "inject at least fifteen ads from this list into their feed every single time they log on," or "whenever this user types something into their...

In my line of work, it's "as soon as possible." Sorry buddy, but tasks that have actual deadlines will always take priority.
