    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Don't really observe the 'First Thanksgiving' type of thing. More a bunch of us getting together to share food and catch up. Not an all day Hobbit thing(that sounds cool!) but one meal with a lot of socializing afterwards. Sometimes even some gaming.

    D&D 5E (2014) Interior wall construction

    For OP's question, look at Post and Beam construction for framing. Not sure when plaster and lathe came in but pretty sure that is what the 2nd poster is thinking of. A lot of Fantasy RPG buildings probably just had the outer sheathing and left the interior framing exposed. If you assume a...

    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    If DC is going to keep Gal Gadot, keep her as WW. Otherwise, why pay the salary for Gadot and a new salary for a new WW actor? If they just have to do the switch, pick a character other then Harley Quinn and fit the costume. Margot Robbie should play HQ for as long as she wants. Gal was OK...

    New "Stargate" series announced

    Very happy its not a reboot. Getting rather tired of yet another origin story for well established franchises. Sad that it is Amazon Prime Video. Don't buy enough stuff with fast shipping needs to justify the cost.

    Need gift ideas for players after completing multi-year campaign

    A problem with 'one size fits all' type gifts is often one or more of the recipients doesn't really need or want that type of item. Personally, I don't really want any more dice or dice bags. I have a set that works well. A couple of my friends don't understand this concept and keep gifting...

    What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

    Ghostbusters - "Lenny, You will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters." Aliens - "All right. We take off. Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." ST -The Search for Spock - "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

    State of the Mongoose 2025

    If the purchase of the building resulted in no mortgage, the bank account should increase fairly quickly. Plus the benefit of already knowing most of the maintenance costs. Congrats on the purchase. Being immune from sudden rent increases is nice. As one who has played Traveller since the...

    Various Solutions For Tabletop Dungeon Terrain

    I am a fan of the Loke books as well. Backed several of their KS. Got the books plus JPG/VTT files for the maps. The books work well as is. The files are good for the TV solution. Another option is Paizo's line of Flip Maps. They have a large selection of foldable double sided maps that...

    Various Solutions For Tabletop Dungeon Terrain

    3D printed stuff can look great but the process of printing can be time consuming. Plus the time for painting. For terrain, I primarily use a filament printer. Prime with Rustoleum 2X spray paint. Use the black or grey primer for the prime coat. Many of the colors claim to be paint+primer...

    New Star Trek Movie Coming From D&D Movie Creators

    Really hope we don't get another batch of Kirk, Spock and McCoy. Lots of other people and ships in Star Fleet. Next Gen and DS9 showed you can do Star Trek mostly without Kirk. Same for Voyager and Enterprise. Although Next Gen did find a way for Scotty to show up for one episode. Could...

    Spoilers TV Shows with Great Endings

    On the OP's topic: Charmed - the first one. Left a wonderful ending for a later restart. Which the later reboot ignored. Babylon 5 - another mention. Xena Deep Space 9 - another mention.

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    For common stuff, most of the time the groups I play with assume that the characters are smarter then the players when it comes to what they are carrying. As long as the character has the cash on hand to have bought the thing(s), deduct the cost and presto!, you have it. Within reason. If the...

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

    IMO, the question is rather redundant. The whole point of a RPG is to 'Do what the character would do.' If you design a character that is a poor fit for the rest of the party, then that is on you, the player. The trick is to design characters that are different but can still mostly do things...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Fill Out a Treasure Hoard

    You could just make the horde mostly valuable non magic stuff with the story that most of the magic stuff was either used to defend against the attack or rendered non magical by things done during the attack. Part of the adventure then becomes how to spend all that wealth while not attracting...
