I’m trying a new system of DM’ing in-person DnD games where I’ve got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.

It works well enough, but I have to remember to “give them the cursor back” when I’m done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can’t find it, haha

It is one of my favorite quotes from the entire series. Never before has a man painted a picture of himself as vivid as Jamie did when he delivered this line.

Stop performing dark rituals to turn yourself into a lich king

I don’t think people got the pun.

My bad, I forgot there were two episodes on this, I think maybe you only saw the first one or parts of it. There was a huge wooden structure with hundreds of mirrors arranged in a concave shape that almost perfectly aligned all mirrors’ reflections into one spot and absolutely nothing happened. Even with perfect mirrors and modern construction tools and techniques we couldn’t recreate it.

FWIW, resin is toxic and you need to wear gloves to handle it. So the gunk would never be on your hands.

Look up “mythbusters solar death ray” I think you’ll enjoy it

I actually had a way harder time adapting a story vs coming up with my own. I took a premade adventure that didn’t really have a “story”, just a bunch of quests the PCs could do to level up before fighting the big bad, and tried to make an actual arc out of it. It was really rough, and some of the quests you could tell were reeeally stretching it.

Came up with an idea for a bad guy. Looked up some lore to see where this guy may have come from, what type of being he may be, etc, and from there came up with a pretty cool back story, a couple of assistants/ underlings, and one or two plot hooks. It’s nowhere near done but it’s already way more interesting with more room to explore than the “easy peasy rearrange stuff” module I attempted.

What you need is Hula Jesus wearing a dice necklace

“Them there [hills]” (usually pronounced more like “them thar”) is a common grammatically incorrect country-English phrase to basically mean “those [hills] over there”.

“How much’choo wonna bet Ah coul’ throw uh pigskin over them thar mountains?” -> “Are you willing to place a wager on my ability to throw an American football over those mountains over there?”

I’d meant to reply to the comment pointing that out, whoops

God damn I missed that, assumed he was using a laptop and thought it was weird to have a keyboard on top of the laptop keyboard.

OP’s 8 year old phone was the Motorola G7 Power, a phone that came out a little less than 7 years ago (interesting) and did have USB-C

If you’re having an 8 year old phone it might not be so fun, since micro USB was still widely used.

The last MicroUSB phone I had must’ve been close to 15 years ago by now… I don’t think they were common for phones in 2018

So the Xbox 720 is twice as good as the one before it, but the 900 only gives you a 25% increase? Who’d buy that garbage?

Thankfully the days are getting much hotter (no idea why???) so I can just leave bread by a window to get toast

Is this a Mickey7-Stamets crossover episode?

“Someone is messaging me about my well known, public interest? I’m gonna tell him to fuck right of- oh, he’s a journalist? Well, in that case…”

- The leopard guy, apparently

Yeah
