Three big wiggly worms eating chocolate cakes, and a mama worm taking a nap in the corner.

That's what I thought too! Can you imagine telling someone you have a fever and they leave the room and come back in a HAZMAT suit?

It was a bit of a nothingburger because Rwanda has very, very strict rules about flying while sick. Even still my wife had to interview everyone coming from Rwanda, and if anyone reported feeling sick she had to leave the room and come back in a HAZMAT suit!

I like Thanksgiving better than Christmas, actually! When I was a kid, our Thanksgiving dinners were bland and stressful. My dad was still drinking back then and my mom's side of the family is always going through a lot and is not good at communicating affection. When I got older I decided to...

Strahd was still Strahd but they did fight a giant Tortle Skeleton, some Kenku shadows, and a Goliath vampire!

I ran a modified Curse of Strahd game (I basically blew up the adventure and turned it into my own), and the players came to the table with... A tortle bard A Goliath barbarian A tiefling warlock An aasimar cleric A kenku rogue That might look like a circus troupe, but they could also be...

When starting a new campaign I'll usually loosely sketch out the setting, then adjust it based on the characters. If a player chooses Goliath, now there are settlements of Goliaths. If a player chooses Tiefling, now Tieflings are common encounters. Unless, of course, a player wants to be an...

My general rule of thumb is that I want each level to last for a number of sessions equal to the next level up. So Level 1 lasts 2 sessions. Level 2 lasts 3 sessions. Level 3 lasts 4 sessions. And so on until Level 8 and beyond, each of which lasts for about 8 sessions. Since we play for 2 -...

Those of us who are infected with the virus have already been spoiled on the whole four-season arc. If I weren't in a constant state of bliss this would be a real bummer.

This show is so fascinating! The conversation about seeing someone drowning in a lake makes me wonder if the infected see themselves as one single individual, and Carol as another individual of equal value? So if she kills a bunch of their bodies it doesn't actually harm them as an individual...

Based on the posted excerpts, the article seems to be saying that racism is used by folks with power to maintain power, and so folks in power try to promote a racist interpretation of popular media, such as the examples from Lord of the Rings. I infer that D&D, now being a much more popular...

Buncha grumps in this thread! It looks like a cute and funny show for kids that pulls from the extended Batman Universe. I imagine if Kevin Conroy saw it he would say "How fun, I know some kids who would love this." Superhero media can be for lots of people! It doesn't all have to be moody and...

I really enjoyed the first two seasons. I love how there are lots of questions, but none of them are "what's happening?" It's a very well-explained show. Like others said, I'm really interested in how they keep the story going. But I trust there's a plan and I'm looking forward to seeing it...

It has to be asked if the 4th Earl of Sandwich ever created a Hellfire Club Sandwich.

My dream has always been to run a legacy, multi-generational D&D campaign in which characters retire, time passes, and the next generation comes forward to adventure again. Characters would make big impacts on the world and I'd encourage a lot of collaboration in world building.

The last time I used Heroforge, they definitely had generic monkey and frog bodies you could select at no additional cost. I'm not sure about plant people but they had plant textures you could apply.

Fun idea! I had two ideas for settings with this concept. The first I called "Planet Camelot." An alien space ship crash lands on a medieval, Earth. The aliens integrate into society and it creates a sort of Arthurian myth, with aliens taking the place of demons and technology taking place of...

It wouldn't interesting to have a setting in which a traditional fantasy realm has been impacted by explicit sci fi influences. So, for example, you'd have your traditional mountain / forest / city people with their proto-European medieval settlements and conflicts. But then your have a fourth...

I always liked the idea that Xorn don't see meat-based beings as intelligent, so taking treasure from them is essentially mining.

I don't watch or listen to Critical Role (I just don't have the time!) but I'm very interested in this season because I've always wanted to run a game like this. How are they scheduling the different tables? Are they running three games a week or are people playing once every three weeks?
