    D&D 5E (2024) Changes to the Command spell and its use at the table.

    The cleric who cast it selected grovel. 🤷‍♂️ But yeah, long odds that thankfully paid off.

    D&D 5E (2024) Changes to the Command spell and its use at the table.

    This spell just saved our bacon today in a fight versus a mind flayer. We needed to buy an extra round to save the barbarian from getting his brains eaten. Command: Grovel saved the day!

    What's your perfect movie

    Its' a toss up between: Saving Private Ryan The Godfather Star Trek II At least, those are the ones I have rewatched A LOT. Oh, and Monty Python and The Holy Grail. :)

    The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer

    To me they started the Mandalorian character out as "The Man with No Name" from the Eastwood "Dollars" trilogy. He had the cool factor of a stranger that was the reluctant good guy (or at least less bad than the other bad guys), with the added element of him becoming a (once again, reluctant)...

    Things you don’t like about DMing

    I like pretty much everything about DM’ing. Prep work can be fun, and running the game even more so. About the only thing I don’t really like is when the players get on a really bad dice run while my dice get hot. We roll in the open for the most part, so we tend not to fudge things...

    Do you have kids of your own?

    3 boys ranging in age from 26 to 34. They all teach English literature (they definitely take after their mom, I'm a biologist). Also have two grandsons to boot!

    Moya, ‘the World’s First Biomimetic Robot’ Emulates Human Features Down to Body Temperature

    I always wondered why that robot needs an air filter attached to its face. Maybe it can’t stand the smell of sick people?

    Spoilers Wonder Man all episodes now streaming

    Just finished watching it with my son, and we agreed this was one of the best, if not the best, marvel series produced. There were several hilarious scenes (the scene inside the house where they were making the candies had us rolling) and some heartfelt moments too. I hope this isn’t the last...

    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    Sounds like it will take place after the events of the video game: Unlike HBO’s The Last Of Us, which retold the story from the PlayStation games, the Baldur’s Gate TV series will be a continuation to the games, telling a story that takes place immediately after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3...

    The oldest tech you still use

    Those 901’s are epic. My father in law had them suspended from the ceiling in the four corners of his music room. A true audio experience. Never forget listening to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time on that system.

    The oldest tech you still use

    [thread derail warning] I bet those Marantz are worth a pretty these days. It's crazy how much old stereo equipment from the '70's and '80's go for now. I saw a vintage Pioneer tuner (I think it was a TX-9500II) go for over $3k the other day. My father in-law still his McIntosh component system...

    Life path system in-game

    One way to organize the life path is to think about what make up the foundational pillars to a character's personality and drive. I'll suggest three: 1. Parents/childhood upbringing 2. Early relationships/mentors 3. First career Add to each of these some kind of major event that needs to be...
