I like gnomes most, but play dwarves more frequently. In my current setting I replaced elves and half-elves with "fey-touched" (basically folks with ascendent fey heritage though their parent could be any of the base species) and there is an option for them to be small-sized.

I think we didn't teach her "mine" on purpose. :ROFLMAO:

Wait til you get to the having to undo the thing you already done so they can do it phase, and then having to wait patiently as it takes them 5 minutes or more to do what takes you literally a second. Five minutes doesn't seem like a lot, but it is a lot and it adds up. God bless 'em. Edit...

Oh yeah. We did sign language with her and some really stuck, but she forgot it all as she learned to speak and gesture at things with more specificity and we fell out of the habit of reinforcing it. But she'd sign "more" and "milk" a lot!

Board functionality question: There is a thread I can see when I look at the General Discussion page listing all the subforums. But when I go into the subforum itself the thread is not there. Now, I know this would be the case (since I have noticed it before), if the OP has me blocked (or vice...

I have a 3-year-old and this is my daily life. At least breaking cheese is an understandable problem (even if not solvable). The worst is when they are so upset and/or have not developed the language skills yet to express/explain what is wrong and your inability to understand makes it even worse.

I am more interested in this than I am Draw Steel! - (though I hope to try Draw Steel soon).

1. I was able to get Office to stop offering me copilot constantly but it was a pain in the tuchus and don’t ask me to remember the steps. Sorry. (But I definitely didn’t need to install Linux) 2. Everyone arguing in that thread is overstating their claim and looks really foolish in the process.

We try to avoid this by scheduling the next session immediately at the end of the current session, we all bust out our calendars, start at 3 weeks out and move ahead 5 to 7 days at a time until we find a date within 5 weeks that we can all make it. This has worked for us as I can count on one...

I played a really fun first session of a D&D 5E campaign last night with a new DM (a guy whose been in my D&D games since 2020 when he first started playing RPGs of any kind) and with three other players who are totally new to it as well. In other news, I realized recently that I did not award...

I was coming to say that this is another way I handle it when I remember to (old habits and the fun of the secret roll cup die hard), esp. for stealth rolls. I don't have them roll when they start to be stealthy, I have them roll when there is a chance someone might see them or knows to look for...

For in person games when I want a secret roll but many players (understandably) want to feel like they have some control (even if that sense is an illusion and it makes no difference to the result), I have them roll in a cup and tell me the modifier. I look in the cup. Add the modifier, and then...

Hmm, I really thought that in the era of online play, a lot more ENWorlders would have formed groups given the longevity of the community and the friendships formed over the years.

Dude. Normally, I like you and dig your posts even when I don't agree with them, but right now you are coming off like someone as desperate to prove your opinion "correct" as the boneheads you are arguing against. Let it go!

Oh wow! Breakstone! I was gonna ask if you used to go by another name. Glad to make the connection! I remember you as one of the "kids" on the board back then (no offense) and then later you being a teacher? (Am I remembering that correctly?). Did you maybe have something to do with the d20 game...
