    I have and use that Ral Partha lizard man regularly. About half my collection ( it a smaller percentage all the time) are metal ral partha or 90s metal reaper. While differences in scale can bother me for bigger minis (a have a reaper fire giant I use as an adolescent among the wiz kid and...

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    Heck, you even get a subset of folk for whom the very notion of "building" a character is anathema - so we have everyone covered regardless of preference (for good or ill).

    D&D General 'Playing D&D' (Without Playing D&D)

    Looking back at my answers, they remain the same, and at about the same proportions!

    Yeah, I think you're wrong.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was gonna say the same. It is not that someone less well-read can't make a good point, it is that sometimes not being well-read enough in a field (like RPGs) without expressing the caveat of how informed you aren't, can come off as unearned arrogance when you make a clearly erroneous claim...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yes. I award XP at the end of each adventure or (or more rarely) significant portion of a longer adventure, and there is some downtime. They earn XP every session but I just keep track of it.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was just looking at my records for my in-person gaming group and realized, I only awarded XP once in 2024 and so far only once in 2025 (with slim to no chance it will happen again before 2026).

    D&D General What are your reasons for doing something because "It's what my character would do"?

    I have certainly used the phrase but at the moment I cannot remember a specific instance because it has been literal decades. That said, I have mixed feelings about it because on the one hand, ideally for my style of play I want us all to embody our character and see the world through their...
