@woefulhc @schabotte @GMingBallistic Got it! Thanks!

What's your favorite non #dnd or #pathfinder game my #ttrpgcommunity friends? I like DCC, especially it's startup rules. Crazy right😁

@Nymdok A good question. Cricket, maybe? (I suppose I'd know if I'd watched cricket even once in my life. Gotta fix that!)

Is baseball the only game where you change equipment based on whether you're playing offense or defense?

@TimothyGroves2 Salad. Greatly wilted.

@Nymdok So... you're saying it's a DC movie.

The Flash is not a good movie. It has quite a bit of ambition, and achieves alot, but it just doesn't hang together narratively, mostly because Ezra Miller's flash is incessantly annoying, the writing is weak on structure, and it just ends up being an incoherent mess.

@meeplewich George Martin... GM... Hmm...

Hmm... Did anybody #FactCheck this meme...? 🤔 #TheBeatles #GeorgeHarrison #JohnLennon #RingoStarr #PaulMcCartney #YokoOno #DnD #DND5e #RPG #TTRPG #GURPS

@Nymdok You know what we all never talk about, though? How much more interesting baseball would be with traps.

I love that I have an eclectic feed. Right now its: 1.) LK-99 2.) Grimtooth's Traps 3.) Baseball Trades Which makes for an odd mix tbqh.

@TimothyGroves2 @Maximumatheist In my sect, it's The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. But I will abide these particular heretics.

@Nymdok He looks like he's yelling at the girl. It's not her fault, Kong!

I want to say this was also an album cover to the soundtrack.

@AKermodeBear Cleric: The all-round worldly servant/messenger/task-doer of the gods. Some fighting may be required. Paladin: The chosen battle champion of the gods. Some non-fighting may be required.

So, I saw a post elsewhere about Paladins (and anti-paladins) in D&D and it brought me back to this question: What role does the paladin fill in a thematic sense that a cleric doesn't? Sure, they're the "holy warriors," but to me that's rather shallow. Paladins have a close relationship with a god. They spread their faith. They adhere to a code of conduct. They have magical abilities. They can fight. They are called upon in times of need. Gods use them to promote their agendas. They are leaders and spiritual advisors to their community. All of that applies to the Cleric. What role in a story does a Paladin fill that a Cleric doesn't? What role does a Cleric fill that a Paladin can't? I've seen some say that paladins are chosen by a god, but then again, so are clerics. There's lots of people who worship, but only the very special few get those sweet spell casting abilities. They, too, are chosen, singled out as special. Mechanically, Paladins fill a niche between Fighter and Cleric, and that's fine, but when you look beyond mechanics I'm having a hard time coming up with a meaningful difference between the two. We just traditionally give one a sword and the other a mace, and one spends more time chopping and the other spends more time zapping. Maybe I'm deconstructing things a bit too far, I dunno. I'm looking for a few non-mechanical aspects that I can look at and say, "THAT definitely makes someone a paladin instead of a cleric." Maybe @Nymdok / @DaDrunkDragon / @WeeWheaton / @KnightsLastCall have some insight. It's something that's bugged me since 2nd Edition.

@Nymdok Ah, a classic work of "somebody's dying" 70s schmaltz music.

Terry Jack's Seasons in the Sun

An RPG "Adventure Seed" that didn't make the books.

@Nymdok Equally as baffled as you. But for clerical types, "small quill" has the ring of a proper put-down...

I dont understand a single word of this tweet and I'm ok with that. Atheism has its privileges.

@Nodge_Noddlers @StephenKing I imagine the sledgehammer decision was an easy one, for film-making convenience: it accomplished the same end as the axe, without every shot thereafter complicated by the need to fake a missing foot.

@StephenKing Anything new in the works Mr King? The first ever proper book I read all the way through was Misery, been a fan ever since. I do remember watching the film after the book and was like "they changed the gruesome bit about the feet". Why did they change it to a sledgehammer ?

@Nymdok The focaccia looks nice. Is that garlic inside the olive halves?

Focaccia!

Daughter came by today. We make braciole!

@Nymdok Okay, here's an idea: It's lasagna, but the pasta sheets are Pop-Tarts. Yes? No?

As someone born in Texas, of Italian descent, i am intrigued by your message and wish to subscribe to your literature! Also, looking forward to your Brisket lasagna!

@Nymdok I'll hold up the banner for The Kings ("This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide"), because someone has to.

You sure are gonna get alot of RUSH replies....

@Nymdok That guy is genuinely awesome.

Dungeon Fantasy RPG may be the game that out-dungeons and out-dragons the rest, but it (or any fantasy RPG) can always use more artifacts. Artifacts of Legend, even. My short comments: gamesdiner.com/2023/05/artifa… Kickstarter campaign: kickstarter.com/projects/gamin… #GURPS #TRPG #RPG
