It really depends on the DM. I think a high level adventurer could be mean just about anything - pop culture is full of heroes who choose to live anonymous, quiet lives. Just because someone is Level 20 on their character class sheet doesn't mean they are a big deal in that world. Season 3...

I can't disagree. I love the sound of it, and those opening lines, but by the second verse it's, yeah, pretty preachy in a very unoriginal way.

Strongly agree on the former, but hard disagree on the latter - it's one of the few Christmas songs I somewhat like. Edit: the lyrics are kind of basic and on the nose, but I've always loved the wistfulness of the opening verse, "So this is Christmas / And what have you done?"

Streaming might be a factor these days, but the UK Christmas song phenomenon has been around for decades! It seems like one of those peculiarly British traditions. Not that you don't get holiday songs in every language and culture, but the specifically British Christmas song thing, where even...

Christmas songs in context are fine: being sung by carolers, little kids at parties, or at church, for the religious ones. Wonderful, have fun. They're basically novelty songs. "(Last) Christmas" is certainly a Christmas song not just in title and setting but also in motif (gift-giving). Its...

I just think they're mostly uninspired and uninteresting, if not downright annoying. "Jolly" is not a very compelling emotion for a song, IMO, and the religious ones aren't really for me. Most are just not good songs, and get played because they're part of the whole X-mas marketing racket...

I love George Michael. Just not this song. But I kinda hate conventional Christmas songs in general.

I’m pretty safe. I keep a large Xmas playlist for my class and that song is not on it. I don’t listen to the radio and I avoid shopping malls. The bars and restaurants I frequent wouldn’t play it. So unless it comes up on a YouTube video, I’m going to avoid it for another year. It’s also less...

I too have had that happen. The whole fun of an attack when the party is unprepared is that they have to come up with ways to compensate.

Nothing. Zero assigned reading. I describe the setting in session zero and answer any questions they have during character creation. The world unfolds as they play through it.

What's the quality on those Under Dusk miniatures? I bought a set of Wildspire miniatures because they were cheap and...you get what you pay for. If you're only interested in tokens for tabletop use, then they're probably good enough, but don't buy them for a serious miniatures afficionado...

The steamer trunk is just one interpretation. It's not in the rules or anything.

My last home game had the party first hunting a couple vampires, which took them through the backstreets, the sewers, and then finally to a fancy hotel. Our brand new player, first ever game, made a bard, almost died, was alive at one hit point and then polymorphed herself into a giant ape and...
