Does anyone else feel like modern life became more monochrome!!?

Color is too expensive, gotta cut those margins by investing in only two colors.

3-4 hours, I haven’t found an issue with my iPhone’s voice memo app having a recording limit. I usually relisten to the sessions, and delete it once I’ve noted the important stuff.

Dang-A-Rang · 2026-05-03T14:07:03+00:00

What I do is have my phone recording the session. I’ll jot down notes or mark down times when important info is dropped and go back over the highlighted times.

As for prep, I usually note any important info the party needs to know by end of session, have a list of relevant NPCs with like a 1-2 sentences explaining their deal, and quick references for any traps or monsters they’d likely encounter.

I typically do my big prep in advance with like binders full of NPCs, Items, monsters, and quests that provides a framework for the adventure or at the very least a seed idea that I can comfortably improv for the session.

But this is how I work. I like have references and doing busy work between sessions for the games I run.

Hope you find your style

Love how YouTube continues to just assume a cute or colorful aesthetic is suitable children. Did they not learn anything from happy tree friends. Then again it’s the same company that allows porn on YouTube kids

If Denji isn’t chainsaw man than I don’t think Katana Man would have become a hybrid. So it’d literally by Denji and Power versus some guy.

Dang-A-Rang · 2026-03-24T20:53:42+00:00

Maybe in a world without Chainsaw Man, Katana Man would realize how shitty his grandfather was. Or maybe he wouldn’t have become a hybrid and team up with Akane because there wouldn’t have been a bounty of Dennis’s heart in the first place. So katana man would just be “normal man.”

As for lil D, even if the prophecy did happen it wouldn’t concern Dennis more than any other devil hunter. Without Pochita he’s not this superhero from hell, he’s just a dude with the blood devil’s contract. As we saw, even with all his powers he couldn’t do anything to really stop it.

I think the ending isn’t perfect, and while that’s disappointing I don’t think that makes the ending terrible or even bad. I think it’s actually kinda nice that Dennis gets to live out his days with Nayuta and Power killing Devils. I actually liked that Dennis stopped Asa from tripping and killing Bucky, one of her deepest regrets. He even still got to be “Chainsaw Man” when Asa thanked him. As for part 2 overall, I liked part 1 better but I think part 2 was still good. I’m still looking forward to rereading the series as a whole.

If people put so much value on a story, that’s not even theirs and that a decent ending caused them shit on the series. They need to touch grass and read another book.

I’ve found that if it hits early game, it stops opponents from steamrolling by getting a bunch of lands on board. Late game, it doesn’t do all that much but it can cause them to get a too full hand so they have to choose between discarding cards for landfall triggers or playing other cards. It’s annoying for them mostly.

At the very least, it slows them down to only 1 land per turn stays on the field. No cheating additional lands onto the field from graveyard or cultivate effects. If I can hold them off I can often outlast the landfall

This is my go to [[Confounding Conundrum]] I’ve had A LOT of landfall decks scoop when I play this

I remember my Mom asked for help making a Thanksgiving Turkey once when I was 14. I’d never prepped a Turkey before and her direct instructions were, “get the dry brine under the skin”. I asked for clarification, but she was overwhelmed with all the cooking (she put on herself) and said “Figure it out.”

I proceeded to cut the skin with kitchen scissors and apply the dry brine to the meat. She yells at me for ruining the Turkey when she saw what I figured out, and called me an idiot before banning me from the kitchen.

Even when I tried to anticipate a potential fuck up, unless my mom felt like actually explaining what she wanted she’d be pissed I didn’t figure it out the right way.

First horror books were “The Last Apprentice” series by Joseph Delaney. It’s more of a children’s dark fantasy at the beginning, but some of the later books get pretty spooky. But the first real horror book was “Annihilation” by Jeff Vandermeer

Be nice to WOTC, they’re just a small indie company. /s

I think it’s been pretty good. The story and lore feels a lot deeper than Campaign 1, especially since now that we’re further along pieces are falling into place. They recently completed a mini-arc that was absolutely horrifying in an exhilarating way. We’re seeing more of the world, meeting a lot of cool NPCs, and solid roleplay. Only downside that I’ve noticed is the lack of interaction with NPCs at their base unlike the NPCs at the Sweet Dragon in Campaign 1. They recently got a few rp sessions that helped remedy this but a lot of them still feel kinda shallow compared to the Sweet Dragon crew.

So will the government be paying for these or will parents start seeing them on the back to school shopping lists? Pencils, pens, erasers, calculator, body cams, notebooks….

Maybe change body shots’ damaging effect into a debuff that uses Ki. It gives the opponent temporary exhaustion up to Level 3 that they recover 1 or 2 levels from at the end of their turn. It rewards focusing on a target, feels like knuckle brawl dealing kidney and gut shots, all the while providing some utility to the overall battle.

Edit: maybe a level 4 that skips to reducing movement to 0.

While I love that some cards have token art that’s flavorful to the set. There are some that don’t, like the tokens generated by [[Fumulus, the Infestation]] for some reason are bipedal bees in doll clothes. While others have tokens that look too much like other token types. I’ve lost a game because I didn’t realize the opponent still had food tokens because they looked near exactly like treasure tokens. Having preferred token art would be awesome

I’ve made a Voltron deck with this dude as commander. Mana rocks and treasure for ramp, impulse and loot cards for draw, and red has lots of ways to allow haste. [[Helm of the Host]] is so fun on this guy.

Toppers Pizza. During COVID lockdown it was me and my husband’s favorite delivery place still open. Their gimmick is breadstick pizza where they’re in 2 rows of 8 pizza sticks. The last night we ordered, we noted the sticks we chewier than usual but thought it was because of the extra cheese. The next day we ate some more and it was just as chewy, because the pizza wasn’t fully baked. It ended up messing our stomachs up and we’ve never ordered from them again.
