There's a player in a game I'm in that has gotten stuck on one type. Different classes and races, but same personality Always the annoying "cute" character, Oh look I'm all innocent, peppy and goofy! On the 4th try now and it never works out how she wants it to

I do think that "I learned it by watching you!" is more famous. Mostly because it can be used in so many situations On the othert hand the "This is brain on drugs" did get a Robot Chicken sketch youtu.be/gVz2oXqlmbg

were resistant to most damage. until the PCs found orbs in the corners of the room. Then the ghosts became weak to most damage for a short time. If killed the ghosts would eventually respawn from the room in the middle of the room. That was when one of the players figured out what they were doing 😇

With a DC14 perception check they could tell the sounded off a certain number of times. If they counted they could tell how far they were from a wall. If they hit a wall they took damage as it threw them back. But there were also 4 ghosts wandering around the room that would attack. The ghosts

Had my players in my D&D game play Pac-Man! Sorta lrge room, only thing they can see is a blocke off area in the middle, exit directly across from where thy entered But there were invisible walls making a maze in the room. Each step they could hear a sound, a wkka-wakka if you will.

I always felt that White Castle's slogan "Its what you crave" was rather appropriate If you're not craving it its "I'll find something else to eat... maybe my shoe" But when you're craving it, like Harold and Kumar, its all you can think about I like their fries though

Same goes for any healing potions you might be carrying! No telling if you're going to be even MORE hurt in a fight later on

Yay! Going to run my #D&D game tomorrow! Marvel as the party join a giant snail race with speeds as high as 2! The thrill of the PCs try figure out which of several dozen fortune tellers are telling the truth! Cower as they have to deal with monsters inspired by a 9 year old!

The Marvel Legends (Like the similar GI Joe line) are toy lines I just can't get into Because the quality of them have gone up and they put out so many of them, I'd go broke if I started collecting. It'd be "Oh I want this one and that one, and if I got that one then I need these..."

This just kind've reminds me of whenever a friend of mine orders a burger, plain Just the deer in headlights look he gets from the person behind the counter at like McF'd "So ahh.. no pickles?" buddy: No, plain, I want bread, meat then more bread Cashier: So uhm did you want ketchup on it?

I got lucky. Picked Huffer and Pipes up earlier this year for retail. Just randomly found them at walmart I'm guessing either an employee found then stuck in the back somewhere so put them out, or someone had hid them somewhere else in the store but were found and put back in the proper spot

The owners kind've an ass but he doesn't pay that much attention to collector pricing for loose TF figures, so usually can snag stuff cheap. Was able to get the last of the original Beast Wars figures I was looking for, for like $10 each loose but complete when they're usually $30-$80 each

Squirrel Lord @lithrian.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I have the same problem (Except just not the dishrack thing) But I do have thayt Huffer and Slash. But still missing Sludge and Snarl from the PotP line. Which oddly mirrors what my G1 collection was like for the longest time I should check out ther comic/collectors shop sorta nearby

Good idea. I may have to have weird necrotic effects happen with the various altars around the combat map the current fight is on. It'll be fun1 PC: I take cover behind this altar DM: Ok, make me a con save as you suddenly feel something in the altar start trying to absorb your soul

I'll hand over candy to who ever is trick or treating But we get so few ToTers around here now I end up with lots of leftover candy. Which is why you should only buy candy you yourself want to eat so nothing goes to waste! Just try to make sure it actually makes it to Halloween 😇

I started a campaign where the party started as prisoners. I flat out told them, do not pick equipment your characters will start out with nothing and as captives Of course the game started out with I use my lock picks to open the door I told you, you start with nothing Can I use my dagger? *sigh*

My problem is that those games (GI Joe TFs etc) just aren't in their circle of interests that much. They'd play if I said I'm running this, but they wouldn't have the enthusiasm/knowledge for the setting Like in the PR Game, I'm pretty sure they'd miss the hints about the other Saban shows

Squirrel Lord @lithrian.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

And not to say I don't like my players. I do. I outlined these campaigns because I wanted to(And to get them out of my head) Same reason I wrote out the Star Trek, Shadowrun and generic sci fi (not sure what system to use for it) games I might run them, but eh, chances are slim I'd have the time

Squirrel Lord @lithrian.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Bit disappointed that my #TTRPG groups would play them if I ran them, but none of the players wpold be that excited to play the Power Rangers, GI Joe or transformers games I planned out I have a lot of nerdy references in them as plot points, but know that none of my players would catch them

I had a co-worker who'd say hi to me each day, using my employee ID abbreviation I never knew what her name was. don't know if she actually /knew/ me or just recognized me from my employee profile, since I stick out as being the only Filipino guy in the building at the time

I had the original missile firing Viper as a kid. Well still have it. It had different parts you could attach to the cockpit. I lost the regular thruster and wings but have a twin wing/engine attachment still Lost the pilot and missiles many many years ago though

So they've already got Unit-02 as Rodimus When are they going to announce Unit-00 as Ultra Magnus and Unit-03 as Scourge?

I liked the trailer. it is a bit campy but they seem to embrace that without being too Wink at screen with it. Nothing worse than a movie based on a video game or old cartoon that seem embarrassed about its source material. Looking at you Chun Li movie

Part of his portrayal comes from his brother Larry, a former marine, who when told about who the character of Optimus was, gave this advice "Be strong enough to be gentle" I do think he put that in his performance

Been seeing people put up Optimus Prime quotes with Peter Cullen's passing.. they're cool and all but the quote that comes to mind comes from his brother Larry when peter was coming up with Optimus' voice that stuck with me Be strong enough to be gentle

Well crap... this has certainly been a week For me too, Peter Cullen was a huge part of my childhood. Not just Optimus Prime, he was part of so many of my favorite shows growing up

I fully expect at least 4 of the 6 players to just keep swinging at the Void Walkers and ignoring the wisps*, despite that every attack will redirect to another PC *The Wisps are their anchors to this plane. They'll stay close, but as long as they're around all attacks at the Walkers get redirected

Squirrel Lord @lithrian.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Wow, nice find Where the heck did you find that for $25? Haven't been that interested in that line beyond "That's kind neat" except for the Ironhide and Rachet ones. Those are really tempting me

Squirrel Lord @lithrian.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I just think they're working off of a slightly different definition of "Spot of" than most people. I mean, /eventually/ it was smooth flying. Just maybe not on your flight. I'm sure flights later in the day had smooth flying

I've used some of them, void walkers and wibble wisps, with my 2nd group. So we'll see how my other group will handle these monsters and how long it will take them to figure out how the monster's attack redirect ability works #TTRPG

I really need to get off my butt and get my new #D&D campaign set up on Roll20. Not going to start for a few weeks yet, but I really should get maps and stuff set up so I'm not scrambling when we do start And need to build some monsters. Once again using ideas from @redwyrm.bsky.social .

the worst comes from the "No, don't just do it, I want to learn how to do it myself" several agonizing hours later "I can't be bothered to do any of that. you do it and also can you update and maintain it too?"

Watched the anime, never read the manga though And yeah there does seem to be a lot episodes of them talking about doing stuff and then a couple episodes of them doing something followed by a few aftermath episodes then the cycle repeats 😀
