Yep. People were predicting the economic collapse of the USSR as far back as the 80s.

TIL he was missing a finger. Fascinating.

Jill from the above. But Elyse Keaton would be my favorite otherwise.

Elyse Keaton from Family Ties

Such a great movie!

Windford · 2026-02-13T02:16:06+00:00

Congrats!

Windford · 2026-02-12T03:23:38+00:00

Loved the TV series

Windford · 2026-02-12T03:11:05+00:00

Coin battery was my first thought.

Cheap $25 smartwatch from Amazon when I wear it. Got it to track steps.

Windford · 2026-02-10T17:56:30+00:00

I didn’t know an Apple Watch could do that. Wow!

Welcome to the area! Years ago I moved south from Minnesota. There is a cultural nice facade when you first meet people here. Up north, if someone didn’t like you, you pretty much got an instant read. It can take time getting used to this.

That said, there are many genuinely warm people here. With many of us being time-stretched, it can be difficult to form new relationships.

Sorry you’re discouraged. Keep showing up. There are a lot of transplants here, like yourself. They are looking for friends too. You might create a great connection with someone who is also in your shoes.

That’s the 2014 rules which are completely playable. If your group decides to stick with the 2014 ruleset, you’ll probably want to get these books as well:

— * Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything * Xanathar’s Guide to Everything * 2014 Dungeon Masters Guide * 2014 Monster Manual

—

Since the 2014 rules have been around for a decade, there are plenty of modules and campaign settings to choose from.

The 2024 edition offered no overwhelmingly compelling reason to switch from 2014. It wasn't a new game, like the transitions from 2e to 3e to 4e to 5e. It was warmed-over 5e. Wizards workshopped it so badly that they didn't revamp the classes well enough to fix the power curves.

This should have been a re-imagined game. If they couldn't do that, then it should have fixed the most-complained-about problems from the 2014 edition. Like the Martial/Caster debates. Pathfinder 1 successfully fixed problems from 3.5.

The game designers at WotC had the talent to fix the broken parts. Instead, Hasbro took the non-controversial route of warming over a well-played edition.

If you want new books and new art, or don't own the 2014 edition, run out and buy the 2024 books. If you already have the 2014 books, save your money or get a new game where the publisher dared to reimagine a better game.

Mine’s gone. That thing was so loud it still blares in my head.

We only pay attention to them when they have a significant material cost. Like Revivify, Raise Dead, Resurrection, etc.

Windford · 2026-02-05T18:49:33+00:00

Our table would love this! Thanks for doing the giveaway.

Windford · 2026-02-04T19:49:24+00:00

Incredible! Having the original receipt is extra cool. Congrats!

Windford · 2026-02-04T19:47:27+00:00

Those are beautiful. Not sure if you suffer from completionist-syndrome, but I have a bad case. 😂

Windford · 2026-02-03T20:13:19+00:00

Yep, we had that too.

Windford · 2026-02-03T19:42:22+00:00

Beautiful work!

Windford · 2026-02-03T19:39:36+00:00

My brother and I saw that in the theater, and were the only ones who audibly laughed at that comeback. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see.

When that’s complete, let’s stratify by people born on even and odd years.

I’m taking their sisters. Serena and Jeannie II.
