These days you can actually go look at examples of various D&D (and other RP) games being played, to see if it really matches up with your expectations. Check a couple out on Twitch and YouTube. (I'm a fan of Critical Role, if you

Check comic book stores and Meetup.com for pick-up games in your area. Then, drag the friends in one by one till they're hooked.

I'd give Critical Role a lot of the credit for the jump start a couple years back. Seeing how much fun a game can be had to inspire a lot of people, or remind the old timers. It's the reason I started looking for a pickup game on

Solid rockets that detach. So, at least in theory, could have ejected the rockets. Or detached the shuttle from the whole tank and land. If you can detect the rocket's about to blow, of course.

I'd watch Kingsman 10 times before I'd watch Quantum of Solace again. And I didn't hate Quantum of Solace: Kingsman is just much more fun.

That doesn't mean testing isn't an afterthought in Ruby, the language. It means the culture built up a defense against writing buggy code.

You're almost certainly correct. As an aside, I once set the oven on self-clean, forgetting a pizza stone was still in there, and that was a mixed experience. On the one hand, I had to open the windows and pull the smoke detectors as s

Casserole on a dough, or crust, is Chicago's deep dish pizza. Which is glorious, but is a very different beast.

My solution to (several) pizza stones cracking was a pizza steel. It's huge, heavy, and it isn't going to crack short of being shot with a Howitzer.

That may well be true... but the uncanny valley isn't the same for everyone. Tarkin looked great to me. For the two seconds she's on screen, Leia looked fine, if oddly happy given the situation. I'm guessing there's a LO
