  • One time I managed to roll 1 to hit, 20 for dex check (had to roll under I forget current rules, over two decades ago), okay I’m dual wielding could be worse, rolled 1 to hit then 20 for dex check on second attack…huh…I don’t buy lottery tickets and barely have interest in scratch tickets at Xmas. That’s my usual luck though those rolls were a once in a lifetime.

    Yes probably some house rules going on was 2nd edition just how we played then.


  • The personal art is a nice idea, one xmas my gf got me a picture of us drawn as Jedi which was fun, it sits next to my computer so I can look at it often. However I think you may need to get the best character type to do for the best one. Of course I’m sure most friends would enjoy the thought put into it even if it’s not exactly the best characters. Mean haven’t played DnD for many years but I can’t say that a specifc look would make me think worse of it.

    Also it may not be as personal or even relevant with pdfs these days but even a gift card to splurge at a gaming store would have been welcome in … The before times, thr early internet days. We all used to want our own copies of things is all. Course I’m old so a bit out of touch heh so this advice may not be the best either but figured I’d add.


  • I haven’t played in decades, when we did we never had visual aides it was just describing. Okay some visual aides (usually used some dice) to show how the groups were situated but it was usually just the initial setup and we took it from there. Even that was rare though, I sort of wondered how often that happens these days, everyone seems to be talk about maps and such. I thought some of the great part of RPGs was using your imagination for it and the DM(or whichever term) would work with it. That said I can totally understand for more tactical games and this was in D&D 2nd Ed era when it was hard to come by those things unless you paid. The times we played say WoD I don’t think we used that sort of thing once, so game system makes a difference too.





  • Trump has said he’s never had anything to ask God for forgiveness about (something very similar if not that), he pushed his lies with a hurricane and drew a sharpie on a map to show he was correct (he wasn’t) and I’m pretty sure that’s all it took to get him on board to dissolve that federal service.

    Just recently he was given an award in Michigan where he previously claimed he was awarded Michigan man of the year, I’m sure his narcissism was behind that so he can say he won an award from there.

    While president there was a press event at four seasons total landscaping because Trump said there was a press conference at the’ four seasons’ (during the pandemic of all times).

    How anyone can think someone who can’t admit any fault is a leader is beyond me. Sure he tells people it’s okay to be a racist asshole but do you want to march into Marianas Trench because he thought that’s where the front line is?


  • They were probably spread it on right wing sites to reinforce to those voters they shouldn’t vote for the Dems, just in case they were thinking ‘maybe I shouldn’t vote for the asshole that acts like a toddler and fucked up a pandemic response when there was a good plan?’ Nope next vp has abuse claims so you can’t vote for them, and they are all happy with being angry anyways so it’s a win.

    Ugh I hate how much it seems plausible, it’s like a badly written movie plot that no one would think could happen if it was the 90s, even early 00s.


  • Wasn’t the electoral college and impeachment bits supposed to be safeguard from people like Trump? I’m actually curious because I’m not American but so many things I’ve read said those were supposed to help that sort of thing. Not that it’s helped.

    I thought another big thing they didn’t count on was so many members of Congress following that sort person.

    Also yes I agree they didn’t think of the possibility of someone being able to ignore laws because that’d be absurd not to put someone on trial speedily regardless of the position they held.




  • I’d hazard a guess he always uses the royal we, I haven’t analyzed it in depth but he really can’t think outside himself. No imagination what so ever,all his attacks are just whatever he does or thought of (well maybe some aides helped). I imagine if I knew more about narcissism it’d tie in there but I have zero studying to comment on that.

    If he wasn’t such an asshole with zero self awareness, it’d be enough to pity him, but he is so fuck Trump.

    For more evidence of the royal we just look at when he was president and insert Trump anytime he says the United States. Not directed at who I replied to but to other readers.
