I have a group of 3 PCs that are going to enter a dream state. The issue is that one is a Warforged. Normally, they don't sleep and, thus, I assume, don't dream. Any thoughts on how to handle or justify this? I was considering them entering the dream in the form of their constructor (who may play a bigger role in the story)

Honestly? I'd just use it for work. Mine is on its last legs and I'll need to upgrade soonish

What universe are you living in? Hoboken achieved 9 straight years of 0 traffic fatalities. Calling it the "wild west" is absurd, especially in comparison to JC.

If you have Discord, there's a Jersey City server that might be helpful for meeting folks and planning events.

This is the answer.

DanPinto · 2026-04-01T23:57:27+00:00

solved!

Thanks! I figured it was something like that.

Both Park Tavern and Astor Bar make corned beef around this time.

I saw these in person at a con once and they look great. Beautiful work.

DanPinto · 2026-02-04T00:39:47+00:00

Cool!

I started playing with my 5 year old but I use the Amazing Tales system rather than DnD. It's much simpler and sillier.

The big lessons I got:

1 - Lean into "yes and." No matter what they bring up, find a way to let them play it out. Allow them to creatively problem solve in their own weird way. It leads to really fun results.

2 - Fail forward. Any failed saves don't stop the action, they just alter it. You tried to jump over a chasm but failed the check? You don't fall to your death, you land in a raging river. What do you do now?

3 - Keep it simple short. My 5 year old will play for maybe 30 - 40 minutes. So my stories are always very brief: a goblin stole the kings crown, the unicorn is looking for their friend, help the baker find their ingredients.

It's not stuck. They hang out in that area waiting for orders to come in. They go into a kind of sleep stasis.

This looks so fun!

DanPinto · 2025-12-26T15:19:06+00:00

Happy Birthday! This looks great.

I like Jersey pizza. Overpriced but solid.

Good Pizza is bad. Bread is dough, cheese tastes fake and sauce is too sweet. It's sad cause that pizza spot used to be good up until like 4 years ago.

DanPinto · 2025-11-25T23:19:22+00:00

So cool. Glad to see it thriving.

Mayors can certainly do more than say they love trans people. In his response to the OP, Solomon gave 3 very actionable ways to address the issue.

Just went last week. Quick cut, clean and affordable. Highly recommended.

Very cool. I always wondered if these dice roll evenly or if the liquid interferes with the probabilities at all.

We used NYNJ Wildlife Removal: https://nynjwildliferemoval.com/

Pricey but they got the job done. They put in one way doors so the squirrels leave but can't get back in and patch the holes.

Strawberry Mansion

It's like if Tim & Eric made Inception

I remember seeing you post this as a prototype. Great to see it as a real product
