What takeout dinner would pair best with the Cloudward, Ho finale? I'm thinking maybe noodles or a burrito... #dimension20

Amazing, thank you for sharing this. I had no idea my chair woes would be dispatched so easilyโ€ฆ

One of my biggest weaknesses as a GM is running combat. I constantly forget tactics and rules, and I feel harried referencing stat blocks - ultimately my fights are probably too easy on the players. That said Iโ€™m really only now understanding this about myself so it gives me something to work on!

Owing to a brilliant suggestion in a guide video for the Call of Cthulhu scenario I ran yesterday - we made the crucial NPC of the module into a player character and it worked out extremely well. Felt like a fresh and exciting take that Iโ€™ll definitely consider again for the next one shot I run.

Just wrapped up this went SO WELL. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ really fun time with this system! Loved the focus on investigation, lore and exploration. Oh and the horror of it all. Perfect for spooky season. Anyway Iโ€™m going to go have some tea and decompress

In my first D&D group there was a guy who was building a custom gaming table. He'd show us pictures of it and tell us how proud he was of how it was turning out. He never invited us to play on it.

D&D people are weird, bro.

Running my first game of Call of Cthulhu tomorrow. Excited to unleash a little Eldritch chaos.

I bought a bass guitar this week largely on impulse andโ€ฆIโ€™m feeling this vibe!

Takedown is great! I think itโ€™s just the fact that *something* has to be at the bottomโ€ฆIโ€™d probably put the Free at the bottom for that reason.

Ok ok, after two more rewatches I will cop to this opinion being rashโ€ฆbut their two songs are bangers.

At the end of the last session our party finds itself mostly incapacitated and trapped in a realm of demons. The DM asked us to roll up some demon characters to play in the meantime and I had an ideaโ€ฆ

This is pretty rad, Iโ€™m going to have to track this down. This scene also feels weirdly prescientโ€ฆmakes me think of an AI bro agonizing over creating the perfect prompt ๐Ÿคข

Hot take: The Saja Boys songs were better ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I went to get my car washed and when they were cleaning the radio they tuned it to a station that plays 2000's Nu Metal. And after listening to banger after banger from my youth I realized that I totally had a Nu Metal phase in college. These songs are great! No no, they are amazing.

So I thought I was being sneaky drinking lentil soup from a coffee mug during my last zoom meeting but then halfway through I realized how psychotic I must look chewing after every sip. ๐Ÿ˜‘

If Iโ€™m being honest I knew it was going to be a shitty year when Hbomberguy didnโ€™t release a video last December.

Or, remember how you could have a song on your page that would play any time someone visited? We were truly living in the good times.

Work demands some after hours attention but what I wouldn't give to be playing DAI or prepping my Call of Cthulhu one shot right about now...

2) If we can agree that Ferelden and Oralais are stand-inโ€™s for England and France respectively. Then I believe that the Tevinter Imperium is supposed to be the U.S. - In this essay I will

Iโ€™m about 10 hours into DA: Inquisition and Iโ€™m in love with this setting and lore. I do have two hot takes though: 1) โ€œDragon Ageโ€ while metal as heck, is not a fitting title for the series. The name should instead be reflective of the conflict between the Mages and Templars as that is at the core.

19.08.2025 18:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yea the dungeons got stale despite the teamโ€™s best efforts to justify it. The Mage vs Templar storyline was intriguing although ultimately it felt like both sides were a little boneheaded (maybe thatโ€™s the point?) - interested to see what repercussions this story had on the rest of the series.

Ok so I ended up liking all of the companions a lot with the exception of 1) Fenris who agreed with my actions a total of zero times and forced me to kill him and 2) Anders who is ok but has the decision making prowess of a 2x4.

For me, the haters were wrong. I thought Dragon Age 2 was really fun ๐Ÿคท. Iโ€™m even more interested in playing Veilgiard now :P but first I have some DLC to play and then itโ€™s on to Inquisition.
