…taylor swift’s public statement was a well-considered cogent refutation of false endorsements posted by the trump campaign, one which pointedly resonates your position and likely merits substantially more respect than you realise…

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…four police officers could handle a bernie rally; the other seventy-two were probably to manage the fascists trolling for trouble outside…

…how the unholy f*ck el paso ever hosted his rally after that racist shot up the place, i will never understand…

…i mean, to be fair he was barely coherent at seventy, too: that’s kind of his whole thing, sputtering out incoherent word salad so his fanbase can infer whatever they want to hear…

“Well, yes, he said that but what he really meant was this. I like him because he tells it like it is.”

…the essentials kit included a pair of one-page flyers: one with free DnDbeyond codes for rest of the series following icespire peak and one with a DnDbeyond discount code for the player’s handbook…

…your campaign needn’t fizzle-out after cryovain!..dragon of icespire peak is only the first part of a four module series, followed by storm lord’s wrath, sleeping dragon’s wake, and divine contention on DnDbeyond…

…the essentials kit was published as a hook to draw parties onto the digital platform, but despite being a fantastic value as a physical boxed set, they did a poor job promoting the latter 3/4 of its adventure content, which were only published digitally…

…well, he can’t back out: his 2016 win was the unintentional outcome of a failed media campaign gone awry, and everything since then has been a mad scramble to avoid prosecution for all the laws he broke along the way and to keep uncle vlad’s kompromat at bay…

…once he loses executive immunity or outlives his usefuless, his whole world comes crashing down: you’ve seen the panic in eyes since late 2016, and most of the remaining GOP have since come along for the same ride…

…i’ve always read it as the former guy but presumed that folks embrace the ambiguity of that f*cking guy…

…likewise, each character is different distillation of some aspect of my own personality; it’s kind of an integral part of the character creation process for me to figure out who they are and properly get into character…

…new sourcebooks coming next year, but fourth-edition maps kind of butchered the realms and third-edition maps compressed them into a fantasy theme park: i appreciate the proper scale of the fifth-edition map even if broader setting resources mostly entail tracking down older reference material…

…fifth edition does offer officially-sanctioned sourcebooks for the moonshaes, border kingdoms, thay, chult, and icewind dale in addition to the sword coast, though; you just have to delve into the DM’s guild for adept and adventurers’ league material…

…third-edition maps do alright in a pinch as long as you double the distances…

…it’s pretty common knowledge and readily explains his propensity for late-night toilet tweets when he’s not busy watching TV…

JHONK-JHONK!

…well then i’ll contribute as a child of farmers: your data is grossly misrepresentative largely due to differing definitions of ‘farmer’…

…if we define farmers as the folks doing actual farm work - both physical labor and small-farm management, AKA family farms - you’ll find an economy governed by word-of-mouth entrepreneurship and hardscrabble side-gigs which scarcely shows up on human-resource databases like salary.com…if we define farmers as corporate-governed field-managers and operators segregated from the business management and manual labor pools, then HR databases are reasonably representative of that select class of personnel, not too different from most small-town managerial work…

…in the end, the former class is endangered and the latter a diminished and readily-exploited class, so does the distinction matter to folks struggling to survive either way?..i will say this: farms wait for no man’s schedule, government subsides come with commensurate capital debt, $25/hour comes with commensurate student debt, and secure retirement, health care, or social safety nets are far from reality for either class…

…the f*ck is wrong with his face?..

…cubicle 7’s uncharted journeys does exactly what you’re describing: it abstracts the exploration pillar into a series of encounter vignettes driven by characters assuming leader / outrider / quartermaster / sentry roles to engage the system mechanics…

…while it absolutely can be adapted to old-fashioned hex-crawl resource management, uncharted journeys is written to support exploration as a theatre-of-the-mind montage sequence, accounting for preparation + decision-making with tangible consequences upon reaching a journey’s end…

…it’s good stuff!..

…f*ck the OED; they don’t even speak proper american…

Flee, Mortals! - Goxomoc

…i’m sure someone has published a complete guidesheet between MCDM’s creature names and the D&D creatures they’re intended to replace, but that’s their tarrasque and it’s properly formidable…

…to be explicitly clear: i believe that we’re all sarcastically mocking WotC’s editorial choice to eliminate half-breeds from the core rules in order to combat real-world racism…

(i wouldn’t be surprised to see mixed races included as an advanced option in the new dungeon master’s guide, though)

…well, no: sixth-edition core rules no longer support half-races, something-something-against-racism?..
