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...

Re: I Love This Man

Was Ivana abusive to her kids, or something? I get the actions of the former Toddler-in-Chief, but I don't get how the kids could let their mother's grave look like that. Perhaps, but anecdotally I've had the misfortune of watching an acquaintance do things I would consider highly disrespectful to ...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hey Xeno, Thanks for the update! Sounds like the computer is doing a darn good job and likely has a richer story that comes with professional writing staff knowing what they are doing. That's compelling and leads me to consider checking it out even more. But still, time is a factor. I spent a coupl...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hi Xeno - Hey Honor, thanks for checking in. I had planned to post today anyway as we had a nice long session yesterday but you definitely help give me some talking points. You've got a lot of sound observations there and most of them are spot on: You're correct that the druid and cleric are able t...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

Hi Xeno, I haven't played any of these but they sound fun. Trouble is I don't think I would be able to ration playing enough to do everything else I need to do. But you definitely tempted me. :) Through some luck we were able to piece together a nice party. A dwarven war domain cleric, a half-elf d...

Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

I loved both Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Sadly, my aging computer can't handle BG 3. Going to have to wait on that. So far it has been everything I'd hoped for and then some. Like you I loved those previous games, I must have nearly burned a hole into my Neverwinter games and I've so many...
