One of my friends has come up with rules for food and cooking, inspired directly by Delicious in Dungeon. It works really well. Food is directly linked to hit dice. You need to eat to maintain your HD, and you spend HD when healing wounds (even magically) and to exert yourself for bonus actions and such. Hunting, gathering, and cooking are all skill checks that determine how good the food is and how nourishing it is. We played a few test sessions killing monsters and harvesting food from them. Soon we will be playing a large campaign using these rules, and we’re all looking forward to it.
The Silmarillion. I’ve tried three times with the dead tree version and twice with an audio version. Can not get more than halfway.
I don’t think fluff should be considered unnecessary. A teddy-bear without fluff is just an empty bag. In a game, the fluff fills out the world, giving it form. It’s needed by both rules heavy and rules lite games. My term for rules lite games is usually “cinematic”. In these game, the story and the narrative take precedence over number crunching or rules lawyering, just as movies often ignore what is “real” in favor of what is “cool”.
Ten Candles is an amazing game, but it is a one-shot, not for campaigns. Everyone dies at the end of the game. Period. It is the journey toward that inevitable end when everything goes dark that makes it so good.
This kind of thinking is wasteful. Every d20 has a finite lifespan. It was created, and it will, at some time in the future be destroyed, as all things are. That means it has a finite number of rolls in its lifetime, with an equal distribution of all possible outcomes. When you “practice roll” and get a nat 20, you have wasted one of the limited number of nat 20s that die has in it. Think of the 20s. Don’t practice roll.


I use a 14400 baud handshake.


Robert Reynolds aka The Sentry. He’s has Superman power levels (A Million Exploding Suns!). Easily one of the most powerful characters in the entirety of Marvel. He’s also mentally unstable and has an alter ego called the Void who performs a horrific action for every good action Sentry performs. Don’t know how much of his story is going to be pulled into the MCU, but I am excited by the possibilities.
Here’s another way to enjoy it, DraculaDaily. Receive emails containing the letter, news article, journal entry, etc from Dracula on the date that it appears in the book. Starts in May.


Playing Star Trek in my high-school counselor’s office on a teletype machine that was connected to the local college’s main frame. The teletype used a roll of paper. Type in a move, and a new “screen” was printed on the paper. I must have used miles of paper playing that game.

Its only three hour and a half episodes. Just binged it last night actually and its great. Really didn’t expect it to be, so it was a pleasant surprise.


Two.
Tigers are only CR4. There’s lots of stuff more dangerous that that.


That shit is dingo!
How many Smoots is that?


That was ChatGPT. I couldn’t write a limerick.


Yes, you may.
In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.
Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.
In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.
Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature’s rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.
They’re talking about… spacetime.
