I believe you mean "borb"

I finished up Terry Pratchett's Equal Rights the other day, and have moved on to Mort. As much as I enjoyed Equal Rights,I think Mort takes the title of my favorite so far. Lots to read yet, though, so we'll see if it gets displaced

If you want something simple, you could try Peril in Pinebrook. It was designed to be used in schools to teach kids to play. It uses a much simplified set of rules and pre-generated characters. I'm going to be using it with my family in a few weeks

Since I didn't really have time to play D&D right now, I finally decided it was time to dig into Baldur's Gate, so I'm continuing my foray through that. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Oh, and to be clear, in talking about Baldur's Gate 1: Enhanced Edition.

5e is fantastic. It presents the standard combat-centric D&D rules, and provides a lot of freedom for players and DMs to fill in whatever rules they find most enjoyable.

Levels 1-3 are designed for the express purpose of onboarding new players, so complaining that it doesn't fully represent D&D, is pretty silly - it's supposed to be simplified.

I will agree with the facts behind your comments on the skill system, if not the exaggerations. I would prefer a looser system, akin to those from Fate, Cypher or Daggerheart, to allow for more creative freedom.

D&D doesn't suck - it's a combat centric system, as it always has been.

I have finally committed. I've started Sir Terry Pratchett's Disc World, starting with the Color of Magic, and I intend to proceed by publication order. We'll see how long this one takes to finish. 😛

Absolutely hilarious. A friend of mine has been resisting the urge to get into LEGO for quite a while now. We were talking about it this morning and he mentioned that one of the things that would cause him to give in is the existence of UCS Start Trek sets. 😛

From my understanding, hall effect sticks won't work in switch 2 joycons, due to magnetic interference from the attachment mechanism. Instead, they would need something else - I hear TMR would be resistant to the magnetic interference.

I could just make the list all Pokemon games, but that seems like cheating...

• Pokemon
• Golden Sun
• Warlocked
• Mega Man: Battle Network
• Dragon Warrior 3 (on GBC)

Nook Glowlight 3, which I've had since release in 2017

I had such high hopes for Barnes and Noble's e-readers - they were super well positioned to dominate the market, but instead decided to make half-assed tablets. It was soul crushing

I just finished Rick Riordan's Daughter of the Deep - it was really enjoyable. While I doubt the twist is super hard to predict if you try, it really caught me off guard.

I'm about to start the second book in Cinda Williams Chima's Runestone Saga, Bane of Asgard. I really loved the first one, and am quite excited to dig into the next.

Ooo, I forgot about these - I'll gladly second this one.
