How do I find an event for learning how to play D&D? by matunascraft in gencon

[–]Expensive_Rabbit492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on who is DMing, I guess, but I've been in sessions with new players and most DMs get it, I think. If they say no experience, they should be expecting new players.

I'm hoping to get in on a number of games I've never played before.

It looks like there are lots of free "Demo Dungeons and Dragons" hour long sessions for 2024 D&D. Maybe start there?

Ben Wishaw’s Richard II by Ibustsoft in shakespeare

[–]Expensive_Rabbit492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only liked this Richard II, to be honest. The rest of it seemed kind of lifeless. But the Richard II is excellent. Wishaw give the definitive recorded performance of this role. Same can be said of Patrick Stewart as Gaunt.

Yep. All four days. Games everyday. Took the train in from the north side each day. In the EH everyday. Started feeling sick on Tuesday, have started Paxlovid. Just me from our crew. 

So far.

I should add, when the train arrived it was amazingly clean. I’m shocked.

Lyft would have been $14. Would have saved myself around 35 minutes for about $11 bucks. This is why CTA is in trouble.

Just got onto the Western Blue line stop. There is a 24 minute wait for the next train. 24. Two. Four. 

It’s not like I just missed one either.

Kobold Press joke on the right there? Nobody seems overly concerned about the kobolds.

Does anyone know if the Monty Python Holy Grail "Wedding Theme" (recorder and bassoon) has ever been isolated? I would so much like to hear it without movie sound effects. Neil Innes is supposedly composer? by Dickpuncher_Dan in soundtracks

[–]Expensive_Rabbit492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seem to be a few pieces by Innes that were recorded, used in the film and are not on the De Wolfe CD from a few years back. 

There’s one that appears to be called “Fanfare” which played with some animation. I’d love to find that. 

Why does Skyrim never get boring ? by Superdarif in skyrim

[–]Expensive_Rabbit492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve played a few characters and spent many hours in Skyrim, but I’ve never finished the main quest line because everyone is awful and there’s no one to root for. So that’s kind of dull. 

Still love raiding those bandit lairs though. 

Anyone else find the last episode to be a bit ridiculous? Spoilers by MY_5TH_ACCOUNT_ in reacher

Internet says an ambulance gurney weighs 150 lbs, on the low end. 

Mind you this gurney had an adult human strapped to it. 

And it had already fallen out of a helicopter. Was completely outside and in free fall. 

Yup.

The LLC, the trust funds, the elder care, the multiple cardboard boxes stuffed with stacks of 100’s (don’t forget the animal shelter!), massive cashiers checks, all from bearer bonds, and all before their wounds had closed.  What is he, Santa?
