*Knock Knock...*
Is this thing still on?
Man, I'm surprised this is still here. Looks to be in decent shape... far better than my old MySpace account, which by now should look like that one house in everyone's neighborhood... You know, the one with the four-foot high lawn that's mostly patches of dirt and weeds, a rusted-out car on cinderblocks, the porch that hasn ( Read more... ) -
D&D 5th Edition Reviews - Part 2: Mechanics (or... How Do I Play This Game?)
My previous post went into an overview on how the four core classes and some of the primary races were handled in the new edition.

Absurdity knows no bounds...
I'm sure the Top Gear fan friends of mine would appreciate the sheer absurdity of this...
The other night, I was driving home late at night on 495 South, near the Boxboro/Rt 111 exit. What did I see?
