    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    They say this.. But it's something I've always been skeptical of. Rosewater has mentioned this, as well as "These players don't even know what a Format is!" and it has always made me wonder.. Like, I don't doubt that these hyper casual players exist. I started as one myself. But.. How are they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Standard is still standard. Though standard is now more like the old Extended, with sets now being legal for three years before rotating.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I don't know if I would call it "Hated" but it also wasn't received to critical acclaim. And the sales weren't stellar.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Kpop Demon Hunters was really cute, and they did some interesting world building. I think it would take work but I could see it actually being an alright set.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Mine too. Fall is the best time of year. Comfy sweaters, dark beers, good food. Plus, we never get to eat turkey and stuffing the rest of the year for some reason. We should have a second Thanksgiving in May, so we don't have to go so long between them.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    I don't know about that. Thanksgiving is still a hugely popular holiday in the US. It's one of the few ones that lots of people still get off. Even some of the poor retail and service drones are lucky enough to be off that day. (Though usually unpaid) Things change over time though. I think...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I'm an active M:TG player.. I'm going to the LGS tonight to play Pioneer. There's a few misconceptions going on here. Lorwyn has sort of gotten the same treatment as 4E D&D. It was largely panned at the time. For one thing, it came out late 2007, right at the dawn of a recession, and it also...

    General video game discussion

    I really enjoyed Witcher3. I played through it on PC, and was kind of eh of the idea of it on Switch. A friend of mine played through it that way though and thoroughly enjoyed his experience. It's impressive that they were able to make it playable on the Switch. I really need to dust off my...

    General video game discussion

    From the 1st to the 12th of this month Monsters and Memories did their longest open beta test so far. It's an old-school inspired MMO that borrows heavily from games like EverQuest. I hopped on for the second week and played a Gnome Elementalist up to level 5. It's... Okay... I think it's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    This is what I was thinking. My first thought was "15 bucks for a small supplement isn't bad at all." If it included more of what I wanted (Or if I hadn't read this thread and known that it lacked the content I had hoped for) and it was a PDF instead of Beyond I probably would have snapped it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sure, someone, somewhere in the business will need a computer.. But we're talking about a single position here I think. Someone wanting to disconnect with tech could potentially be that server working their low-tech job and not also be the person handling orders and invoices.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    We bought a house this Spring, and our inspector used an iPad. He was able to go over everything with us there at the house from it, and then emailed us a nice collection of photos, and even a slideshow covering everything he went over during the inspection meeting. Tech is making it's way...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, maybe a little mom and pop style restaurant. There's a few of those near me. Just got pizza with my partner and her parents Monday and the waitress took our order on a little order book and gave us a hand-written receipt. Cashed out at a traditional cash register.

    D&D 5E (2024) GMs: How long should it usually take to go from level 1 to 4?

    I voted for 5-6, but was considering the "When I say so" option. It seems like a lot of folks here share, or have similar mentalities to my own. I like to consider my campaign as happening in "Chunks" or "Episodes". I'm kind of hoping it pans out like Diablo 2, honestly. A set of quests, all...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    This thread makes me sad. I was looking forward to this product but it seems like it's lack-luster. Lorwyn is a largely beloved MTG plane because it had an interesting theme, and really wonderful art. I recently found a foil Spellstutter Sprite at a game store and it inspired me to put together...
