I live in Duluth, MN.

In 1991 it started snowing on Halloween and didn't stop for something like four days.

We had four feet of snow in our yard. The town was paralyzed for days.

My sister and I took three hours walking to the corner store and back. She had to walk behind me because she was too short to even break a path through the snow.

It was so much fun.

Am I the only one who got that it's a fucking He-Man joke? He/Him, He-Man.

I know, I don't make that in a year!

I had loved Jay Johnston ever since the Mr. Show days. Used to cheer when he popped up in things.

Fucking traitor. I flip off the screen anytime he's on now.

I really liked The Marvels but understand some of the issues others had with it.

I, too, played as a kid, and then again as a teenager, before coming back to the fold about seven years ago.

My dad ran a campaign for my family when I was six or seven. I remember spilling my kool-aid all over the table when we turned a corner and my dad said "You see... a MINOTAUR!"

As a teenager I played with friends and at a local college, and often ended up being the DM.

Then seven years ago, my aunt and uncle invited me to a game their daughter's husband was starting.

After about a year I convinced my Dad to join us. It's worth mentioning that all of us are neurodiverse in some respect, and as such have always been my favorite relatives.

Then COVID hit and I started running a game for my board gaming friends, and started one with my family playgroup as well.

I've created a world and plotline, I've run published adventures, and I'm even working on a supplement for the Witchlight adventure that I will publish on the official site.

And the 'Proud' Boys.

None of the marketing I saw even hinted at that, so thank you.

I'd just raise the temp slowly until it starts boiling. The only reason I can think it wouldn't be simmering at that temp is that the water has been boiled off, but that's almost certainly not the case here.

But I've never made stock before.

I've played through a few times.

What I usually do in the goblin camp is pick off stragglers at the edges, and this removes much of the danger of lots of enemies piling into one big fight. This works well outside and inside.

By the time I take on Dror Razglin, he has only the goblins left in the room with him.

You also spoke of dropping things from the rafters, and there is something else, a one of a kind thing, that is fun to drop from up there. I will elaborate if you don't mind the spoilers.

I also agree with those suggesting you start over and try new approaches.

It's true that it isn't as much of a ROLEplaying game as you would like, but there are lots of opportunities that open up with different builds, classes, races, and backgrounds.

Back away from the goblin camp and explore the rest of the initial map.

From where you are there are multiple ways to get to the Underdark, where you can level up a little bit more before facing the goblin bosses, and maybe find more explosive barrels or other assists for that fight.

It's easier to face him once you are level 4, or maybe even 5, but that takes a lot of work.

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.
