    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I am impressed with your long and detailed post about the evolution of pizza, but since you don’t talk about calzones, I am not sure you know what you are talking about when it comes to pizza. So allow me to try to make this thread about calzones for the next 300 pages.

    D&D General Edition Design Philosophies as Seen Through Magic Items

    This post helps to explain why nearly all magical items in my 5E games are bespoke and frequently split the difference between their 1E/2E and 5E versions.

    And assuming he does a good job ;) - I plan to give him an in package mini of a merfolk druid on a manta ray mount I have an extra of for his wife.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Why would I be able to see a post in preview on the forum list and open the thread if I click on it from there, but not be able to see the thread at all in the actual sub-forum when I open it? I don't have the person blocked and I doubt I'd be able to see the thread no matter where I clicked on...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Repair guy is here to replace a part of the water heater and he has to go through the game room to work on it. We ended up talking way too long about D&D, and Call of Cthluhu, running games for 6-year-olds, and how his wife has gotten really into painting minis.

    Dragon Reflections #102

    I do similar stuff in my homebrew around the assumptions about goblins and the like, wherein their common depiction in stories told among "the free folk" (aka the traditional good guys aka dwarves, halfling, elves, gnomes and sometimes human) is very much at odds with the diverse reality...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Parts of this convo is reminding me how in my overview of how to vet sources for academic research, I would bring up an example about how to avoid the trap of an appeal to personal authority made by someone without the training to have that authority. I would show them articles by an actual...

    Dragon Reflections #102

    As I mentioned in my review, while I ended up liking some of these, I was disappointed overall when I first got the issue because I though the article was going to describe nine variation on an actual Wand of Wonder. And after 40 years in my memory that is what they had been, so I felt the...

    D&D General Favorite Underrated D&D Monsters for Low-Level Encounters

    Piercers. They drop with surprise and then the PCs have a chance to handle them at their leisure as they try to scuttle back up the wall mostly defenseless. They are a good "jump scare" monster. I esp. love having some drop early on in cavern exploration so the PCs are aware, but then have more...

    Dragon Reflections #102

    I was (and remain) unfamiliar. I will look it up. Oh and as I mentioned in my review. The system itself is not one I still use, but at the time, it opened my mind to how much world building and setting the tone of places could be done with NPCs and defining them within a location.

    Dragon Reflections #102

    I had a lot to say about this issue here: Dragon Mag Monday: #102 That "collection of canines" article was endemic of a lot of unnecessarily detail articles that seemed to be someone going into an encyclopedia and writing articles about what they found there in D&D terms. I am not a fan. I...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    It went well and was fun, but I am really worried we left off at the beginning of a combat that may end up in a TPK! 😬 After being ambushed as they re-entered the Moathouse, the party was able to kill off most of their attackers and escape back into the dungeon. After making quick work of some...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Since I run my games in the same room I paint minis, draw battle maps, and build terrain, I use the occasion/excuse of gameday every 3 to 5 weeks to clean up the space - esp. since that workspace also becomes my staging ground for said materials during play, for easy access.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    New crafting/painting space + work bench set up. I really shouldn't have bothered because in a couple of weeks the "walls" (really dividers that have been up 50+ years) behind it and to the left of it are going to be torn down to be replaced with actual walls that can bear the weight of shelves...
