We all should be so dedicated to the cars we love, even the weird ones.

My guess is because a lot of these guys were told they were destined for the NBA sometime around the sixth grade, and have been treated accordingly by everyone in their lives ever since.

It is weird how sports are held to different standards. In baseball, steroids are treated as a crime against humanity but in football no one gives a shit. In cycling, there’s been police raids against blood doping, the US government spent millions going after Lance Armstrong. Yet in swimming, which is just as dirty,…

I’m not trying to sound like Internet Contradiction Guy, but it strikes me as being in bad taste to feature a “brutal” knockout while just yesterday berating the NFL for all its violent home videos. I realize this one isn’t a headshot—there are plenty of those on Deadspin already—but at what point do we conclude that…

Anything?

Could you drink hot tea with some fish sauce in it?

The ref steps in when the fighter is no longer defending themselves. It’s not just about losing consciousness. If they can’t bring their hands up to protect their face, it’s over, regardless of whether or not they’re awake. He’s lucky that Pico only got in one punch before the ref called it.

I think that’s usually the case, but not always. I’ve been a player in groups that just wouldn’t bite on a hook or weren’t in the mood for some reason. Where the DM did a good enough job, but the players just wouldn’t contribute. I was unable to carry it as a player by myself. I felt badly for the DM. It’s more common…

If anything is tedious in a D&D campaign it’s the DM’s fault, period.

Different strokes for different folks. I moved a lot when I was a kid, and in some towns, the DMs loved orcs, in others, every mid-level threat was lizardmen.

I’m the only DM I knew who used kobolds consistently (I fell in love with the pictures of them in the AD&D Rogues Gallery), whereas others leaned heavily on…

Yep, the way the OP describe Goblins is like how a 1st year 13 year old DM probably runs them. Which is fine for first timers I guess. But if you’re seeing them like this over and over, someone has failed.

Not to mention, as opposed to rats and other low level creatures, Goblins are rather fun for the DM to play too. They’re dumb, loud, easily frightened and coerced. That’s a lot of RP fodder there. Any enemy gets boring when they’re just there, flat on the page.

yes, the toner is expensive, but it doesn’t go bad on its own like inkjet cartridges, and also you get thousands of pages per toner refill.

Anyone running Goblins this way should get their DM card revoked. Goblins are not meant to be a level specific challenge, such that over time, the party may or may not win. Goblins are a narrative tool, as are many monsters in D&D. Goblins can be better used to:

I think that D&D has an overabundance of low-level fodder creatures. Between goblins and their larger kin, kobolds, bandits, cultists, zombies, orcs, gnolls, and wild beasts, it can be hard to make them each feel distinct with 5e’s rules as they appear in the books.

No I think she’s pretty on point.

Goblin fights? I feel almost like you mean Kobold fights. I see Goblins so rarely in D&D campaigns (been playing since AD&D).

Simplify, simplify:

This guy is clearly a dick. Nix one idea: don’t pardon Agnew.

And Amazon isn’t the party under scrutiny in this situation? Hmm.

It’s as though someone Sweded Bloodsport. Even by lame internet video standards this was lame.
