Now that inspires a thought for a new 1st-level Bard & Wizard spell: "Bigby's Beer Goggles" 😵

"That rash must be... uncomfortable." Understatement of the week!!!

Yeah... to truly reach a Dennis-Miller-level of obscure reference, I probably would have needed to include a reference to some 16th-century Renaissance baron who got killed by a codpiece in a duel or

Yes, Black Adder has given you British folks a strong.... dare I say elevated... trivia advantage here? 😁

Just wait. It gets worse.... 😉

To borrow from Jeff Foxworthy... "If you laugh at jokes involving wizard familiars, you MIGHT be a gaming nerd..." 😁

When in doubt, manspreading is great for a cheap laugh... 😁

All the comics involve the same characters, and there are long story arcs (like this one, which is part of the recurring D&D story arc). If you're interested in starting from the beginning, go to the

I like how you think...

Just last month our party came across an imprisoned Rakshasa in Undermountain. Sure, we COULD have slain the demonic beast. But instead we talked him up for information, then freed him and persuaded him

At minimum, I'd say that gives the fighter disadvantage on Persuasion and Performance checks. Intimidation checks for interrogations could go either way, depending whether it's in a small room and how

I've been to the Gobi desert a couple of times, but only on the Mongolia side (not the China side). While there were some areas of sand dunes, I remember most of it being a kind of scrub desert with a

Thanks! As a kid in the 80's & 90's one of my favorite strips was Bloom County (and later Outland). I liked how the cartoonist Berke Breathed tended to have long, goofy story arcs that build on the

Glowy-eye? Is that like pink-eye for vampires? Does one treat it with a cream, or eyedrops? 😁

Yup, spent entirely too much time playing the Shadowrun and Cyberpunk RPG's in the 90's and 00's! 😎 (there should be an emoji with mirrorshades, but that one will have to do...)

Are you familiar with Vin Armani and his assertions that we've entered "The Dim Age"? He describes it as a part of the human cycle dominated by magical thinking, a decline in the application
