kingcom posted:That was the first time i've ever had buffalo chicken and it was pretty amazing. Please post more slow cooker recipes! Missed this from a while back, but take a chunk of pork shoulder/butt (4.5 to five pounds is about ideal) and rub that with choice of pork rub. I went with a paprika and chili powder rub with a bit of sugar and salt, but check around online and find something you think you'd like. Stick that in a big ziploc bag or saran wrap it or whatever and put it in the fridge overnight, then put it in the slow-cooker. Pour a 20 oz. bottle of whatever brand of root beer you'd like over it. You can also rub on a little bit of BBQ sauce before you start cooking, but I get the feeling that that was unnecessary and I probably won't do it next time I make this. Anyway, start slow-cooking the pork on low and let it go for about nine hours. I did a four and a half pound chunk of shoulder last time I made this for about nine and a half hours, but it was probably done after eight and a half or nine or so. You may want to turn it halfway through, but I didn't and it was still fantastic. After that, very carefully take the pork out of the cooker, put it in a big bowl, and start shredding it with two forks. The pork's going to be really tender, so if you'd rather shred it in its juices (and depending on cut there might be a lot of juices) you can just do that and transfer it to a bowl, making sure to let the juices drain first. Stir in choice of BBQ sauce to desired consistency and congratulations, you've got loving amazing pulled pork. Serve it on whatever buns you've got handy, maybe with coleslaw or a pickle or something.

Splicer posted:Like who? Pretty much everyone I know who likes 4E ascribes to a fairly uniform list of stuff that's busted and needs to be fixed. The main points of contention tend to be "Feats: Ditch some of them or all of them?" and "Ability scores: Are they worth salvaging?" mostly the people who wouldn't buy the game anyway or would buy it to bitch about it and people who wouldn't want to spend a shitload of money on new books. so actually you're right, no one that matters

swamp izzo posted:Ugly rear end tiles, the sound effects + music drive me insane, the writing sucks and is everywhere, and the gameplay is banal. It boils down to take every single skill and use every skill on cool down. My guys always die around level 20 from instagib and I worry that I am far more likely to develop a repetitive stress injury than ever unlock the oozemancer class, which probably plays about the same as the rest of the classes. i can't argue with most of that, everything outside the class system is loving garbage and the earlygame esp. is insanely repetitive. i like the class system a lot though, most of the classes play fairly differently from each other and figuring out a build for your guy is pretty fun. hopefully the new campaign will cut out a lot of the bullshit though, instagib being the number one cause of death is stupid as poo poo

stoutfish posted:funny how in nethack and adom there is instagib stuff but it only kills you if you don't know it's coming, but there is no sort of prepareded ness to deal with it in tome. deadly poison in nethack's pretty hosed. or it would be if it took more than like twenty minutes to get poison res. had a couple bullshit gnomes with a wand of death though, that was hosed up tome you usually have some options to deal with the instagib poo poo, it's just sometime the game rolls gently caress you and there's nothing you can do about it. like in my last game i had a monster one-shot me from outside of LoS like fifty turns after i cleared out the rest of the level. dumb as gently caress

Ferrinus posted:i'm not talking about A always going before B unless they take a coded-in "delay" action i'm talking about A and B each going as many times as C goes, and A and B being able to guarantee they can chain their actions before C goes i mean, you can't entirely guarantee that every single person will make precisely the same number of moves in a given combat, but A and B can coordinate an attack or maneuver and tell C to go after them. you don't have to sit there waiting to get called on to do something, the GM only does that if the action's flagging or if someone in particular hasn't done something in a while. also the gm's explicitly discouraged from calling on someone else while something especially interesting's going on unless a player's hogging the spotlight or something, and imo an ambush or an alpha strike usually qualifies as something interesting. i mean, dungeon world's not perfect by any means. hack and slash and volley are both pretty boring moves + i'd prefer damage as a concept was a lot less granular that it is, but the whole *world system is a cool way to do storygaming with dice

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Neither! ha-Satan isn't mentioned until the Book of Job and Lucifer doesn't appear until much much later (Isaiah, I think). The snake in genesis is just The Serpent. missed this convo, but the "lucifer" in the book of isaiah's the latin translation of the hebrew word for day-star. isaiah was using the day-star as a metaphor for, gently caress, probably like the decadence and pride of the israelite nation or something. when the old testament got translated into the latin vulgate, the translator missed the metaphor and translated that bit like isaiah was talking to a guy named lucifer. later theologians working out of the vulgate saw that and started conflating lucifer with ha satan (lit. 'the satan') from the book of job and the demons that jesus casts out of some dumb gently caress in matthew and mark into one dude, then started mixing in stuff like the serpent from genesis and stuff from zoroastrianism to create teh concept of the devil as the adversary of god

LSTB posted:4e is worse because of Rituals, and Skill Challenges. skill challenges as written suck hard, sure, but rituals/martial exploits can be a pretty interesting way for characters to have agency in the game world. the two big problems are that they're gated behind feats for everyone who doesn't get them as a class features, and given that they're not +1 To Hit Stuff they're generally a suboptimal feat choice in a game where optimization is king. also that the game's balanced around spending all your wealth on the item treadmill to keep up with monster math, so any money you spend on rituals is effectively you shooting yourself in the foot. if you fix that (and that's generally two pretty easy houserules), you've got the bones of a pretty neat system. i mean, yeah, if you want to storygame 4e wouldn't be my go-to system, but imo rituals aren't part of the problem

this troper posted:That sounds like a great idea, saddle the DM with even more burden than just handling every single monster's abilities, initiatives, hit points, spells, defenses, and movement, in addition to designing the area that combat takes place in. it basically just turns the arena into another monster, only it's one that can't be attacked or damaged normally and doesn't move. that's not that complicated.
