    [WIR] The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

    He gets downright Biblical during the Battle of Pelinor Fields. I live for every, "And LO!"

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think I made the same deck. It won a lot until it didn’t. 😂 I had a fairy deck that let me put fairies in play without paying mana (that I loved but never worked very well) and my “untouchable” (green, all creatures that cannot be targeted by spells or effects) is still together since about...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah. I was much more into creating thematic decks that tried to do something cool and playing with friends rather than competitive play.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, but the goal is to spend zero or less dollars. 😂 my Sol Rings are burning to try this format.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    First of all the Pauper format sounds great for someone like me who still has all his magic cards but has bought none and played little since the format changes of earlier this century (I still think of the card layout as new). Secondly, I bet a thread you started with this story would end up...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    There are other reasons a DM might ban a class, rule, or spell, beside their whim or "setting integrity", or game balance." For example, when I started running 5E, I outright banned warlocks. I had never played in or run a 5E game, but had read the PHB and had plenty of general D&D experience...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Yesterday was session #35 of our Primordial Evil campaign (my homebrew version of Temple of Elemental Evil). It was hella fun. The party descended into the Moathouse dungeon via the secret staircase in the bandit lair on the main level. After rediscovering a portion of the dungeons the party...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I wish for an ignore feature that also hides posts responding to a person I have blocked. And one that auto blocks both people when there is a long train of back and forth involving only them that runs on for pages. Let’s get those AI tools doing something actually helpful! 😂

    D&D General What character sheets do you use and what do you put on them?

    Me too. These days I have different variations for full casters vs. partial or martials and most everything fits on two sides of a page with an option for a third. I write character abilities in short hand and find actually writing them out by hand helps me to remember and understand them...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    This doesn't really have anything to do with the topic at hand, except an example of how I must play D&D so differently from what I hear is the baseline experience for others. Because as far as I know, I am running very tough fights and other kinds of encounters, awarding XP based on what they...

    D&D General I Just Want To Teleport and Stab Things

    Isn’t the Draw Steel Rogue called a Shadow and do just that? Or that could just be what I imagine it would do, haven’t spent time with the game. Might be a place to look.

    Thus my use of the word “feel” and not “was.”

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Folks bragging about being a killer DM (whether they actually were or not) felt a lot more common throughout my gaming experience of the 80s and 90s than post 2000.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Joy is watching your 3-year old’s excitement about getting to drink hot chocolate while watching 1967’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas for the first time (a book she has asked for at bedtime nearly every night since Thanksgiving).

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Someone around here’s every post recently makes it clear they need a break and should walk away from here until after New Year’s at the earliest.
