@brandesstoddard With any luck we'll both be around to see some more big anniversaries!

Wow, I just realized I missed my blog's twelfth anniversary! Here's my traditional rundown of games I've been running, playing, and observing in the past year.

A Twelfth Year of Blogging – Brandes Stoddard

@brandesstoddard Congratulations!
The 50s blob was dropped in the Artic.
The 50s and beyond 'The Thing' was in the Antarctic.
But what would have happened they met?
Blob eats The Thing or The Thing assimilates the Blob?
How would you tell the difference?
@brandesstoddard The way that Threats to the Nentir Vale was sorted by organizations. If you're facing off against the Fell Court here's a selection of stat blocks, Dythan's Legion gets their own section, and so on.
@brandesstoddard I think Pathfinder's adventure paths do a lot of interesting stuff with very high level adventures and stories that can be converted. Even the ideas and locations that seem to fail on some level help teach a lot.
Damn, looks like my game tonight is cancelled due to one of the hosts being sick. Been rough, the hosts have been having a lot of health issues over this past month.
@dmr That's not a wrong idea, but it is a lot more work. Buffing most of the other subclasses, including the other options within totem barbarian itself, is a much larger list of changes to create and balance.
I wonder if the #DnD5e bear totem barbarian would be more balanced against the other options if totem rages were usable less often? Like if you could only turn 1 rage/day into a totem rage at level 3, with that number increasing as you level up? Just because as written that choice is by far superior to every other option in any book.
Oh, also, curing the disease removed any exhaustion levels. While the party cleric got to 3 levels before she finally had a round where she wasn't getting puppeteered and they managed to cure her, that was the worst it got. Plus a few party members down a lot of hp. The paladin took a beating because the disease wanted him dead. As the only person immune to it and with the ability to cure it, he was priority number one.
