Here’s a link to a Josh Johnson bit about radioactive shrimp!

I hadn’t heard that, so I googled!

I had loved Jay Johnston ever since the Mr. Show days. Used to cheer when he popped up in things.

Fucking traitor. I flip off the screen anytime he’s on now.

This seemed inspired by Weird Science to me, but the movie didn’t come out for another couple of years.

I really liked The Marvels but understand some of the issues others had with it.

I, too, played as a kid, and then again as a teenager, before coming back to the fold about seven years ago.

My dad ran a campaign for my family when I was six or seven. I remember spilling my kool-aid all over the table when we turned a corner and my dad said “You see… a MINOTAUR!”

As a teenager I played with friends and at a local college, and often ended up being the DM.

Then seven years ago, my aunt and uncle invited me to a game their daughter’s husband was starting.

After about a year I convinced my Dad to join us. It’s worth mentioning that all of us are neurodiverse in some respect, and as such have always been my favorite relatives.

Then COVID hit and I started running a game for my board gaming friends, and started one with my family playgroup as well.

I’ve created a world and plotline, I’ve run published adventures, and I’m even working on a supplement for the Witchlight adventure that I will publish on the official site.

And the ‘Proud’ Boys.

“So… what’re you in for?”

None of the marketing I saw even hinted at that, so thank you.

I’d just raise the temp slowly until it starts boiling. The only reason I can think it wouldn’t be simmering at that temp is that the water has been boiled off, but that’s almost certainly not the case here.

But I’ve never made stock before.

Dealer account number? Bah!

Parvo sucks. Thank you for looking after the kitties.

I’ve played through a few times.

What I usually do in the goblin camp is pick off stragglers at the edges, and this removes much of the danger of lots of enemies piling into one big fight. This works well outside and inside.

By the time I take on Dror Razglin, he has only the goblins left in the room with him.

You also spoke of dropping things from the rafters, and there is something else, a one of a kind thing, that is fun to drop from up there. I will elaborate if you don’t mind the spoilers.

I also agree with those suggesting you start over and try new approaches.

It’s true that it isn’t as much of a ROLEplaying game as you would like, but there are lots of opportunities that open up with different builds, classes, races, and backgrounds.

Back away from the goblin camp and explore the rest of the initial map.

From where you are there are multiple ways to get to the Underdark, where you can level up a little bit more before facing the goblin bosses, and maybe find more explosive barrels or other assists for that fight.

It’s easier to face him once you are level 4, or maybe even 5, but that takes a lot of work.

My interpretation would be that she has a crush on him and is hoping that converting him would be a way to (innocently) sink her claws in.

As such, she is nervously laughing off his sexuality because it’s another thing that makes him harder ‘tame’.

I figure the way we Americans use sugar in our processed foods, half the fat and sugar of a cookie will give you something akin to a saltine.

Cis/straight guy here, hope my comments are welcome.

Jasika Nicole, who played Astrid on Fringe, is queer, and was frustrated that her character was never fully developed beyond having her name misremembered. She took it as a kind of erasure, which I totally get.

This of course doesn’t remove or solve your issues with the show, but it does remain one of my favorites despite the production issues of the cast not getting along.

Should I ever get a tattoo, it’ll be a white tulip. Be sure you watch that episode if you’re giving up on the show.

I am most of the way through the first season and am definitely hooked.

Lucky.

Hey, forgive yourself for that cringe behavior, honestly.

Looking back on that time and beating yourself up will not help.

Have compassion for your former self and thank them for letting you grow.

Remembering rewrites a memory, so remembering mindfully is important. If you hate those memories, they will continue to poison you, but forgiving yourself and others continues to pay off.
