A graph showing gross damage per encounter for a D&D 5e fighter. It shows each level and uses two bars to compare that gross damage for a fighter who uses at-will abilities and one who uses as many daily abilities as possible. The daily power damage output starts out as double the at-will damage and ends at about fives times as high.

If you run D&D 5e, you might find that your boss monsters die easily. There's actually a simple reason for that!

The game was built around the assumption that characters would engage in about 20 rounds of combat between long rests.

We were probably off by a factor of 5.

Answer to yesterday's #mtgtrivia question:

Bill Sienkiewicz. He illustrated Phyrexian War Beast and Soldevi Steam Beast. For those unfamiliar with his work, Sienkiewicz is a very famous comic book artist.

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&Dโ€™s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I canโ€™t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

If you think this canโ€™t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

My oven is a pretty standard thing but it has this feature called "rapid preheat" where it will run both the broil and the bake elements together until it's within 50ยฐ of your target.

This feature is approximately 700X more useful and interesting than having it connected to the internet.

I think progressives have had a problem with "purity tests" (the need for all leaders to have tightly aligned perspectives or else stay quiet about it)

And I think the Democratic Party has had a problem with being...undemocratic - with too much power in the institution and not in the people.

A screenshot of an elon musk tweet. Elon, in a quote tweet, says "Costa is committing crimes." He is quote tweeting KanekoaTheGreat who says
"Valerie Costa, the far-left activist behind the so-called "Tesla Takedown" fueling a spree of vandalism nationwide, proudly admits her campaign draws inspiration from Luigi Mangione.

She labels Elon Musk's DOGE initiative as "criminal," even though Trump won both the popular vote and presidency, specifically while championing Musk and DOGE's vision to balance the budget.

Clearly, Costa has no genuine respect for democracy, elections, or the people's choice.

Ironically, Costa's "TroublemakersCommunity" and "Oil & Gas Action Network" previously targeted fossil fuel companies to fight climate change.

Now, in a stunning twist of hypocrisy, she's attacking Teslaโ€”the very company that's arguably done more than any other to combat climate change.

Did she ever honestly care about climate change, or was she always just virtue-signaling the DNC's latest talking points?

Digging deeper reveals Costaโ€™s career specialty: advising left-wing NGOs and nonprofits on fundraising and securing government-funded grants.

Precisely the kind of waste and abuse that Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are courageously battling to eliminate."

Dear Elon Musk, protesting is not a crime. Organizing online to protest isn't a crime either, even if you don't like the protesters' goals. We oppose any efforts to mislabel peaceful protesting as illegalโ€”protests are foundational to our democracy.

If you answer yes, then I think Trump and the MAGA movement is stupid. Matters of geopolitics should not be affected by issues of fashion.

If you answered no, then I think we agree that this is just a pretense. Trump's position on Ukraine is not about clothes. And MAGA follows whatever Trump says.

Witkoff declines to blame Russia for starting war in Ukraine The Trump-appointed special envoy called Ukraineโ€™s ambitions to join NATO โ€œa threat to the Russians.โ€

Russia started this war by brutally invading a sovereign democracy and claiming innocent lives.

It's been like this for years. They attribute it to how Shauna's VA broke NDA, but that should NEVER mean that people are denied fair credit, especially in the official trailers.
