Not exactly a high bar, there.

Do. Not. Tempt. The. Timeline.

Hardly. You can't even work at McDonalds without touching computers these days.

Well, that's optimistic of you...

Jason Momoa was cast as Aquaman because they wanted to try to make Aquaman "cool". It didn't work. Momoa's natural delivery style is a far better fit for Lobo than it was for Aquaman, so that recast makes sense. Wonder Woman, like Superman, is hard to get right, and with the tonal shift they...

Most. Abysmal. Dice. Luck. Evar.

I run too many different systems to have a single answer to that. I don't usually house rule critical successes or failures - I just use the mechanics the system has, if any.

Mod Note: And... with that you've shown that you're willing to use religious icons to insult people who disagree with you. You're done in this discussion.

There is a difference between ,"I see this as a very real problem for the game" and "I want this". Your word choice didn't differentiate between them. If you are going to be vague, you have few grounds to gripe about people failing to read your mind over the internet.

Celebrating the wins... We have a telehealth consult with an oncologist later this week, which might move us forward more quickly. Also, prednisone is magic. The cat had been hiding in a comfy warm cubby upstairs since we'd gotten back from the clinic on Saturday. An hour and a half after...

...including ourselves....

And this is me, keeping my mouth shut, because while well-meaning, the statement won't be taken well.

Not at all. No worries. I think of this thread more as a place to help process what's going on, and maybe be a little bit informative, and maybe to normalize folks talking about these things just a bit.

First oncologist consult we can get is December 4th. Luckily, my wife knows other oncologists. We'll see if any of those can talk to us earlier.

So, something to note here: The pet owner matters, too. There are loads of cases in which the burden of care is just too much for an owner, physically, emotionally, or financially, and in such cases, saying goodbye for the owner's sake can be the right decision. I could give examples, but...

Thanks, all, for your thoughts. Several of you have shared your own stories, and be sure, at this moment, I can sympathize and empathize with all of you. I'll likely to use this thread to jot down some bits over this time. Nobody's obligated to check in - I'll be doing it mostly for myself...

Mod Note: This thread isn't about 3e, 3.5e, 4e, or 5e. Let's please try to keep it to the topic going forward, folks. Thanks much.

If you don't want to read about sadness, maybe take a pass on this one folks. Today was... not a good day. One of my cats has clearly not been feeling well, as she hasn't been eating much. While my wife is a veterinarian, she's in hospice and palliative care, and generally doesn't need or...

I think that Spider-Man: Homecoming was a good mix of serious and comedy, though - anyone who can make the Vulture into a serious villain earns a little leeway. So, Trek that contains comedy, but isn't just comedy, is a goodly possibility.

I finished J.S. Bailey's Dalton Kane and the Greens, which was okay. Then read the second in Dinniman's "Dungeon Crawler Carl" series, Carl's Doomsday Scenario. Awesome book, loads of fun. An example of exactly how easily you can forget the book's title while you are reading it.
