Re: Just be a guy for 5 seconds, okay?

I'm curious if there isn't some chicken/egg thing going on here. Every bit of media I consumed as a young lad jammed my brain full of women that were otherwise desirable but also had long hair. Had I been raised in a world that kept everything else the same but all those women had short hair, would ...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hey xeno, good to hear from you. I mentioned up thread I have a new player in our work campaign who had no D&D experience but is fun to have in the game. His only experience was having played BG3 and listened to an actual play. That seems to have given him an intro to the mechanics and a sense of h...

Re: Latter-day Saints have the highest rate of weekly church attendance

I haven’t attended in over 10 years. If I had been contacted in the survey and asked my religion, I would have answered none. So while the Chirch may consider me a member, I would t have been included as one in the survey, and my inactivity would have not been counted. This was exactly what I was t...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I'm curious how the campaign is going / went? Did you manage to get though the game without reloading a save point? I apologize for taking so long to get back to this, I'd like to say I have a good excuse but sometimes life is just a jerk. Ultimately that campaign died due to a bit of trolling from...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I brought up your completionist mindset comment to the group and I thought one of the members of the group made a great point. That being, the mindset is almost 100% self inflicted. You mention this item missed in an earlier act and earnestly I don't know if we've grabbed it or not. We're intentiona...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I'm curious what their response to your question was, cause if isn't "every damn session" they likely should take a turn on the other side of the table. It certainly was an eye-opener for me. I touched on it a bit but I think the DM relationship is the biggest "shortcoming" of BG3 as an rpg experien...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hey Xeno, I believe I've mentioned I joined a D&D game I found through an online group where I could play rather than DM since I DM two games these days but hadn't played as a PC for a long time. We've been playing since spring. I thought you'd be interested in hearing that BG3 has taken over the c...

Re: Temple stories - good, bad, funny?

I will go much further than Xenophon and state that the temple is one of the handful of (important to me) reasons why I continue to identify with Mormonism and as a Mormon despite my disaffiliation with the LDS Church. I could certainly understand this and perhaps had I been born in the covenant or...

Re: Temple stories - good, bad, funny?

The church accepted the public civil marriage as legitimate for all purposes other than sealing in the temple less than a year after the marriage. The accepted wisdom was that the couple was considered to be contaminated by the world if they had sexual intercourse between marriage and sealing, and ...

Re: I Love This Man

Still, I’d have figured that Don Jr. could take a few dollars from the sale of those super-expensive bibles he’s hawking, and maybe just hire a neighborhood kid with a lawnmower to make a pass over the plot. I would have figured a lot of things with that crowd but as the saying goes, they leave for...
