I guess we're back to asking parents to actually parent their children, but we all know how that goes.

The Grand Central Station waltz scene is one of the most breathtaking things I've experienced in a theater.

I believe if you could get the wood temp below around 250C, you'd shut down the pyrolysis. That would stop the release of combustible gases and should cut off the fire spreading. I'm too lazy to do the stochiometry on how many joules per kilo of wood that would be. Also, where do you put the heat?

You know, if my players aren't allowed to live in the moving city on the back of the giant turtle at the end of this, they will be disappointed.

It always annoyed me when my clean, elegant code was "worth less" than the repetitive garbage some of my coworkers would produce.

I still have a big pile of printed village maps and lists of NPCs from them in my GM stuff binder.

Oh yes, so much this!!! Paladin Stephen's blend would have cinnamon, pepper and ginger (for the muscle rub that Grace likes). Bishop Beartongue's would be black and astringent (maybe hibiscus?). Oh, Slate's would have to have rosemary in it. (I could waste all day doing this 😆 )

Jeph is a masterful storyteller and at the same time regularly includes fart jokes - how can you go wrong there? Also he pulls of stuff like this (panel 4) that shows the true glory of a web comic: questionablecontent.net/view.php?com...

It's not even the worst Thor movie I've seen.

They sell paddles with built in silicone scrapers, so you can be even lazier!

We re-watched the old Brendan Fraser remake of Bedazzled a few days after watching Obsession, and it hits very differently now.

Depending on how spendy you are, Luggage Works makes some excellent carry-ons. The sort you see pilots and cabin crew using.

Yeah, I'm not interested in telling epic stories about incompetent idiots. (Maybe in the right setting with a comedic bent, but not serious stories)

Thanks for sharing this. I have so many half-baked ideas floating around, it'll be nice to put some icing on one of them and call it a game!

Sometimes it's nice to know there's always been normal people doing normal shit, and it's not all demigods and heroes.

Also if you don't want to wear out your scroll wheel, you can still use the arrow keys to navigate between comics.

Every time I put those little farmer dudes on the table at a con game, everything stops while the players check them out. (May need to make them the secret villains next time.)

I love this set, and use it all the time. The halfling farmers, the cooks, the basket girls, the fat aristocrats. It's so perfect!

He's not playing chess. He's not even playing checkers. He's playing tiddlywinks and he's swallowed half of the pieces.

There's a gemini logo in the bottom right hand corner of that image - so yeah, I guess we're faking real things now.

That's probably just a passive-aggressive way of saying, "I do not want to play this game/setting." I'm not saying that's a good way to do that, but maybe check with your players if they're doing this.

Ooh: a wild and crazy supercharged level 20 one shot, followed by an extended campaign of Stewpot.

Honestly, I'm fine with them shooting each other. Especially in their own parking garages where other people can't catch strays.

Fantastic. Very well deserved!

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still shitty as hell. And quite the national embarrassment.

Just give me a spin-off where Lura and Jett adopt SAM and I'll be as happy as a clam.
