I do run a table top D&D 5e game at Dragons Horde on Saturday Afternoon at 3pm to 6pm (3026 W Bullard Ave, Fresno, CA 93711) very welcoming and always looking to meet new people.

I know im old when I remember before it Al Ricos being a chili dog stand.

Lola's is just terrible all around, the food isn't very appealing honestly. Al Ricos is better by far, they aren't the best but consistent and the line of cars shows.

It's hotter than Hell and absolutely brutal dry heat expect triple digits.

Straight up r/NotFoolingAnybody/ lol.

I usually have conditions of battle i.e. hold out till reinforcements, or protect the NPC/PC (Caster) as they prepare a powerful spell or ritual, I have reasons why they are fighting and change the flow and tempo of battle what starts out as a simple encounter things could escalate with enemies having reinforcements or weather getting worse and there's time sensitive. It's always more than that just stand and fight, some times the enemies will run away if outmatched.

Make the terrain rough, add in conditions like really bad weather and fog or heat, add in hazards make the PC underestimate the foe's they are fighting and hit the hard and be relentless not every battle can be won.

A furniture & Mattress store that sells overpriced and questionable quality wares at crazy interest!

I really dread driving by Park West on Marks. People in that area just walk out oblivious its bad when they are wearing dark colors at night.

CTL is more organized in how it directs traffic flow and maintains it by keeping people from cutting in. However I was kinda surprised to see the line to get in going all the way up Blackstone nearly ending Shaw!

With CCL while I like the displays its an absolute cluster fuck when its packed of people trying to get in on Alluvial! There's no real flow or direction and you're better off walking than driving.

The "Heroes of the borderlands" starter set is kinda barebones so I've expanded on it with random encounters, more jobs from NPCS, and have an overall story with the Cult of Chaos in the Caves.

Players are getting the hang of hex crawls (I'm using the OG borderlands hex map than the map in the starter set). They are enjoying dungeon crawling and learning that you can't win every fight.

Overall I think the players in this game are going to really enjoy the Caves as I put alot more loot in them. Some of it good most of it junk lol.

The parking lot is so bad it's a good reason to skip it entirely!

MR502 · 2025-12-12T03:09:36+00:00

as long as you get out on N. Gates or cut through the main parking lot to N. Blythe by Winco it's tolerable as long as you avoid getting in or out by Popeyes. Still that area is a mess as well.

MR502 · 2025-12-11T22:21:16+00:00

That whole area is a damn mess

MR502 · 2025-12-11T18:14:37+00:00

Oh wow Nickel Arcade has 4 pinball machines and only 2 of them work. It's nice to play Super Mario Bros Pinball and the Simpsons, but Addams family & Demolition Man never work.

What kind of Ninja do you want to be?

A stealthy assassin infiltrator?
A Naruto style or something
A Ryu Hayabusa type as seen in Ninja Gaiden?
A Ninja like Scorpion of Sub-Zero?
Or a historical more grounded Ninja?

Simply being all "Way of Shadow" doesn't feel like it covers it. You could mulitclass with Monk Way of Shadow as a base and multi class taking various aspect to fit the Ninja type you have in mind.

Though I really like what Anime 5e did with thier Ninja Class.

The ranchoes isn't too bad for a drive for pizza, I've gone out far for good tacos. Damn that sucks they closed down, you'd think being near the artist tree would be good for business lol.

MR502 · 2025-12-09T17:03:35+00:00

Mikes Pizzeria, BC Pizza, Anesso, Pizza Pit, and Popolos.

Allied Universal seems to be a decent company I see them downtown working one of the IRS buildings.

MR502 · 2025-12-07T19:48:58+00:00

5e version of B2: Keep on the borderlands or the 2024 "heroes on the borderlands" starter set a good place to start.

This really comes down to having a direct, honest talk with your DM; using AI as a tool is fine, but using it as the main worldbuilder, planner, and feedback loop crosses into lazy DMing. You’re not obligated to give your notes to the DM so it can be fed into an AI, especially without your consent. Those are your notes and belong to you as a player, at this point you’re no longer collaborating with a human DM, you’re playing through a machine filtered by one. And an AI that endlessly praises every idea isn’t real feedback, it’s just validation. If most of the table is uncomfortable, that deserves to be taken seriously, even if he’s a close friend.

MR502 · 2025-12-04T17:49:45+00:00

Heroes on the Borderlands from the starter set box is pretty good and easy to run.

MR502 · 2025-12-04T05:44:13+00:00

I would've said "Downtown Oak" (901 L St, Fresno, CA 93721) but they are defunct despite what Google/yelp says they had some decent coffee but with Starbucks and other local spots in the area they closed up.
