  • …marvel super heroes also featured a resources ability score and feats to represent financial maneuvers akin to lines of credit; it felt frustratingly abstracted as a teenager living in a discretionary cash economy, but after several decades as a real-world adult i realise that it’s an elegant abstraction for how people actually live and conduct commerce…


  • …my wife came home from a chemistry demonstration with a cooler full of dry ice: we thought it would be fun to fill the master bathtub with hot water, dump it all in at once, and watch what happened…

    …besides the obvious violent commotion, our entire house filled with a waist-high impetrable fog, enough that we panicked and quickly evacuated the cats lest they be overwhelmed by carbon dioxide…









  • …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…

    …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…

    …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)
