Re: Gaming and the vaccine..

Four months later, and now I've had both shots and am totally vaccinated (or 'vaxxed to the max' as I like to say). Unfortunately, my work hours have quadrupled, and I don't actually have time to try putting together an in-person D&D group now. :(

Re: D&D Humor

This reminds me a bit of something I saw years ago online. PC: I open the door into the next room. DM: You see an orc armed with a battleaxe guarding a chest. PC: I enter into a frank and meaningful dialogue with the orc, validating his right to guard chests, but not pigeon-holing him into a stereot...

Re: Right for the wrong reasons. Covid-19 and climate change

There are so many anti-science movements over on this side of the world. Climate Change Deniers, Anti-Vaxxers, Anti-Maskers, Creationists, Flat Earthists, Moon Landing Deniers, just to name a few. There is a lot of overlap between them, and they are growing in numbers, too. This is largely due to Yo...

Re: A Dungeons & Dragons film reboot

Yeah, Chris Pine is an odd choice instead. I wonder if this film is going to be set in the same generic setting as the old movies, or a new one?

Re: A Dungeons & Dragons film reboot

I only ever saw the original one. I suppose it can't possibly be worse than that one.

Re: Location, Location, Location ...

More like someone who wanted to try videogames went for high quality emulators of nes and supernes games... since the books are online, but I understand, its morally questionable to use the books that are online. Actually, emulators and ROMs are considered illegal, too. Even for old games that aren...

Re: Location, Location, Location ...

There is no need for new material, with the wealth of material AD&D already has, all you need is to know where to find it. Well, that's sort of what I mean. Nothing is being published; not just new material, but old material, either. It's no longer in print. You can't walk into a bookstore or a...

Re: Location, Location, Location ...

Makes sense, though. No new 2E material has been published in over 20 years.

Re: Location, Location, Location ...

On further research, I'll go with Charlotte, by virtue of it having the largest population. The way I figure, the more people in a city, the more likely you'll find D&D players.

Monroe - 46,780 people
West Palm Beach - 112,852 people
Augusta - 198,751 people
Charlotte - 2,054,000 people

Re: Location, Location, Location ...

They're all southern states, so it's hard to say. I grew up in MS, and granted that was over 20 years ago so no idea what it's like now, but back then the Satanic Panic was pretty popular, so D&D was seen as evil.

Re: Gaming and the vaccine..

Minor, temporarily side effects. And there's no reason to think waiting will change that. Human biology is quite messy; there will never be a vaccine or cure for anything that works 100% of the time with no problems. People have allergies or their body chemistry reacts in an unexpected way sometimes...

Re: Gaming and the vaccine..

What bugs? What side effects?

What religion has objections to vaccines? I'm not aware of any that do.

The only good reason to not take a vaccine is if you are physically unable to, due to health reasons (someone with immunodeficiency, for instance).

Re: Gaming and the vaccine..

I haven't gamed in person, face to face, in years now. But if I did, or if I ever do again (and I admit, it is something I've been thinking about), it would only be after the vaccine has been made available to everyone, for safety reasons. Would I game with an anti-vaxxer? No. Anyone who values thei...

Re: Dead vs DESTROYED

I don't really have a hard rule for it. Normally, I wouldn't rule the body was destroyed unless it was an extreme circumstance, like they fell into an acid pool or lava flow, or hit with a Disintegration spell. Something like that.
