Thanks guys. I havent even played 5E yet, but I'm already making adjustments to keep things at a reasonable power level. The world is lower level magic, so a +1 armor or +1 weapon is the best it's going to get. I've made some weaker magic properties to add variety: Elemental reduction (e.g...

Can I ask you for some advice? Heres my situation (first session is this Saturday): I'm the DM. Been doing it 20 years but havent played 5e. I read the rules, but Most of the players will know the system better than me in the beginning. I have 1 veteran player, 2 intermediate, and 1 brand new...

Lol damn man you're right. I just looked up the prices. I didn't start collecting them until 2006. I wonder how many sets I missed.

Are you talking about the D&D plastic minis that came in a booster box with a random assortment? Cuz I bought a bunch of those a long time ago and I'm glad I did.

I apologize sir but we have shattered the Rams and exposed your weakness to the league. You see, Aaron Donald is so powerful his talent radiates a field that effects the rest of his team. The only way to contain this power is to surround him with 4 Offensive Linemen from the opposing team at...

Your post reminded me of how much preseason sucks: Fans: "did you see how great QB X looked in joint practices? Hes gonna be so good this year! We should definitely make the playoffs!" The same fans: "well yeah of course QB Y looked good in joint practice, it's only preseason so it's not like...

Strange helping Spider-Man could be a convergence of overconfidence and his emotional attachment to a friend overriding his common sense. It could also be, "I've done this hundreds of times before, something must have happened to the multiverse to make things go wrong this time." I'm also...

He realized that he's not going to get better crab legs outside of Louisiana and stepped up his game.

You're welcome to join if you're willing to drive. It's supposed to be in person, but if some people can't make it in person we can do online when needed. I haven't done online before though so it seems disjointed as hell to have part of a group in person and the others online. Never ran or...

Well if anyone lives close to Denton TX you're welcome to join. Its 5e though. Plan is every 3 weeks on Saturday night, hopefully getting it to every other week. (My wife doesnt play, gotta get her used to it before I drop the, "we're gonna play every 2 weeks!")

Decided to type out the overall campaign arc, so I figured I'd do it here and share. If you got any feedback let me know. Summary(TL;DR): Urdefhans living in The Beneath (Underdark) find an artifact called the Masquerade Machine, which transforms a being into a near-flawless specimen of another...

Yeah I'm cheating kind of, but the players don't know that. I told them the map is already made, but I'm just going to have premade set pieces and drop them into a hex when they explore it. We can only play every 3 weeks, so I have plenty of time to make new content to keep things going. I...

I could see that as their ceiling, possibly. Miami and Buffalo have good defenses, and Tua and Josh Allen aren't likely to have a bad enough game. NE would be your best chance, especially if its Cam week 2. You could beat the Panthers, Broncoes, Falcons, Bengals, Colts, Texans, Eagles, Saints...

Lmao ded game.

I haven't played in 8 years since I moved from Florida to Texas. Had a couple of kids and all that jazz, but finally found a group and we are shooting to start playing once a month (I'm hoping to make it more regular, but we are playing at my house and my boys are small and will be a distraction...

I was paying attention to Dolphins/Bears workout together this week. Beat reporters were saying Justin Fields was the best looking QB on the field almost every day. Never mind he was playing against the 2nd string, and both Miami and Chicago have sub-par O-lines and very good D-lines (Tua and...

I don't think playoffs are guaranteed. The two big reasons are that Miami has also improved, and Buffalo should still be good. The second thing is you're talking about Mac Jones possibly challenging Cam Newton. There should be no discussion of a rookie QB "challenging" or "pushing" a first...

Processes slow. Supposed to have a high football IQ but it isnt showing. Good deep ball but overthrows short and medium passes. Also his timing and pocket presence hasn't improved. Lastly, he doesnt seem to have the mentality. Like Shanahan said in the article, things break down and his first...

We will probably never have anything like the memories of Bowden vs. Spurrier ever again.

My wakeup call about how much WoW sucks was trying to imagine explaining it to teenage kids. "Let me get this straight: you collect 10 bear asses to level up, move to another area where you collect 10 bear asses, and you basically mash these 4 buttons while you do that for levels 1 through 60...

Godbert Manderville and Yojimbo both hate fatties. Sometimes, people are too heavy and are crushed under falling pieces of giant bamboo instead of being knocked off stage. Sometimes, the teleporter for leap of faith doesnt work because they weigh too much. Don't ask what they feed the Race...

Imagine real life is an MMO, and there's a tried and true specialization for women that has existed for thousands of years. It's not always perfect, but it's been the meta spec since the dawn of civilization. Take the talents Not a slut, Don't be crazy, Devoted partner, and Traditionalist. The...

Not if we beat him to it! Now's our chance! Amod how much money do we have? I got $20 and about 7 mozzarella sticks I can throw in the air fryer for when we make our pitch. Edit: honestly if Ion became president that might be an improvement for wow. He'll be too busy fixing and overseeing we...

I'll try to summarize my thoughts and I won't bother you again after this. I promise. The reason several people are pushing FFXIV over WoW is a combination of factors. I'm not going to compare systems, or classes, or the story, or the gameplay. I'm going to compare what they are as an MMO, and...

@Sanrith Descartes you said to tag you if anyone else had an opinion about your daughter playing WoW classic or live: I think you should seriously consider FFXIV, and I say this as someone who loves WoW. The social scene is a lot more vibrant, the people are much friendlier and less toxic, and...

Sometimes it sucks being a hero. Want to stop having problems with Primals? Try genocide. Put every Ixal, Sahagin, Kobold, and Amaal'ja to the sword. Can't derive power from worshippers when there are no worshippers left.

From what I saw Ion isn't named in the lawsuit. Before he joined Blizz he was an attorney in D.C. Even the dumbest attorneys are careful of what they do and say because they know it can come back to haunt you. He's probably clean because he came from a more professional work environment...

So instead of going to Gilgamesh I went to play with some family on another server. Joined their FC and it's cool or whatever. It's a small RP guild. Then my family tells me, "yeah there's erotic roleplay too but that's totally optional. We have tavern nights on Thursdays at the house."...

Step 1: out of court settlement. Step 2: layoffs and restructuring, purging most of the people on both sides. Especially anyone that cooperated with the state. Step 3: Blizzard HQ moves to Austin TX. Congratulations, you played yourselves.

Turn on captions and look at his answer about WoW. The dude loves and cares more about WoW than most WoW devs probably do.

I'm fairly convinced Activision sees WoW's success/failure as a win/win. It probably doesnt make great margins compared to Hearthstone, but if it succeeds it's still profit. If WoW fails it's just a good excuse to cut people loose, or move them into other divisions (aka mobile gaming or some...

FF on Nes was the first for me, but 6, 4, 7 are my faves with 6 being first. Kefka also had the best boss music, with one of the best covers. (Guitar solo at the end around 8:00 is amazeballs). As for FFXIV, I'm enjoying it more like a single player rpg. Story wise it's not bad, but the older...

Maybe they can wave some cash in front of Bobby Kotick for some soon-to-be unused WoW servers, and promise to keep it on the downlow. Just slide that money into the next quarter's earnings call. Bobby can be all, "Hahaha oh WoW is fine! Look at all this money despite what you've been hearing...

Blizzard's company culture has been corrupted too far for anyone to come in and turn it around on the level Activision would allow. The classic tale of the Golden Goose: it lays one gold egg a day, but that's not enough for Actiblizz. They want all the eggs, and they want them now. So they...

I would pick HoTS or Dota2. LOL is middle ground that doesnt give you the immediate action HoTS, nor the satisfaction of Dota2 when you actually get good. I actually avoided a lot of toxicity in Dota2 by playing Single Draft. Chances are you aren't playing a hero you are good with, but neither...

I can see the effect it has already. I joined 2 days ago and am an 11 lancer. Gridania is lively with people emoting and running around, but the actual chat is dead quiet. I cant use the Free Company command yet for some reason. Makes me miss Barrens chat (yeah it's a lot of dumb stuff, but you...

My biggest gripe is that Loki's power levels have changed drastically to fit the story. In the Avengers he got ragdolled by Hulk at the end and survived without permanent damage. In the beginning of the movie he tanked bullets and kicked a guard 20 feet through the air easily like Cap was doing...

Factions shouldn't even matter for new expansions. Players on both sides are privateering murder hobos against whatever the "cosmic threat of the year" is. Just let Alliance and Horde players group up and communicate in expansion areas. Just like the Commonlands in EQ; the evil races went to...

Almost everyone is pretty in our media and marketing in our society because that's what sells, and that's what people are attracted to. All the research shows this; when they try to put "normal" looking people in commercials, it doesn't work. Even people that say, "Well I don't care what they...

I wasnt expecting much but the Advance Wars reboot is crap. I've been waiting for them to do something with the series since Days of Ruin. Apparently people didn't like Days of Ruin because it was "too dark." Its a game involving war: grow a spine, bitches. So now it's back to happy commanders...
