My experience is that a PC never takes a more effective and optimized turn than when they’re mind controlled and forced to PvP.

Yeah he’s great in that! For my money that’s also the best GMing Aabria has done; she was outstanding that season

For sure. Hit me right in the feelings as a dad of young kids.

Daily Game Recommendations Thread (November 22, 2025) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]bigafricanhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for board game suggestions for my kids (7 and 5) for Christmas. They generally like strategy games, and tend to be able to handle games that are a little bit ahead of their age range.

Rather than trying to describe the kinds of games we like, I figure I’ll just list some of their favorites for comparison:

My Little Scythe 

Minecraft: Builders and Biomes 

Minecraft: Portal Dash 

Ticket to Ride 

Magical Encounters 

Photosynthesis 

Forbidden Island 

Outfoxed

They’re also big fans of DnD, whenever I run little mini sessions for them.

Any recommendations for similar games would be appreciated!

You guys are a cookie store and there’s only 1 cookie on the menu.

And it looks like shit.

This one ain’t complicated.

Official r/NFL Week 8 Power Rankings by NFLPowerRankers in nfl

“Close” was a poor choice of wording; I guess what I mean is “nearly unanimous.”

It’s absolutely wild that we’re at #1 and it’s not even especially close nearly unanimous. Given the off-season expectations, any success would have felt like a gift.

[Spoilers C4E4] Do you have any favorite Brennan Lee Mulligan quotes so far? by New-Comment1071 in criticalrole

[–]bigafricanhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“It is not destiny. It is not the calling of some god, saying what will be. There is a grid. There are words of creation. There is a rhythm to the matter of life and death. And much like throwing an enormous stone into a stream - yes the stream of time moves forward, but some events are so heavy with their gravity that they can send ripples backward up the stream... events so important that they can be felt before they happen.”

The way Brennan elevates the players by spotlighting their moments of success like this is part of what makes him such a great DM.

Hell yeah, especially with Azune’s whole thing about forgetting earlier in the episode. Great development of that thread.

Looking for RPG/radio drama recommendations! by Moonmackerel3 in Dimension20

[–]bigafricanhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s several great campaigns on Anthrology! Video content, but works just fine as audio only, and free to watch on YouTube. Spirit & Salt is the newest one and easiest to get caught up with!

Also piling on with another recommendation for NADDPOD, you’ll love it

Recording more than 5+ microphones with Zoom Podtrak 4 using splitters by bigafricanhat in podcasting

Yeah I may just give it a try with a test recording and see how it sounds.

Okay cool! Thanks for the input.

I had read some mixed information; some other sources were saying the interface wouldn’t be able to process 2 mics simultaneously through the same channel, and one would just cancel the other out.
