To the surprise of nobody but the disappointment of many, Im back, baby. Lets do the most stereotypical thing possible and start with a top 5 topic.

If its something I dont know much about, there will probably be snark, and unfunny snark at that. Consider yourself warned.

Hit me with it.

Oh lord... I hate to punt on this, but aside from the Cabal remaining true to each other until the end, there really were too many. I guess my swindling of Skyridge into a forfeit trade when he by all means should have won on topic, plus him being eliminated before he could collect, would count. @Drakeryn certainly can speak better on the history.

Top 5 tips for a D&D newbie like me

(I have another one later!)

5. Make sure to talk to your DM before you make your character sheet so you can adapt your concept to the setting.
4. Dont try to homebrew stuff that isnt in a rulebook. You arent ready for it yet. 5e is nice in that there arent nearly as many books as previous editions.
3. Alignment is descriptive, not prescriptive. Two people can play Lawful Good characters differently and even have conflict between the two, and neither of them is inherently wrong.
2. Tropes are fine. The lovable but dumb barbarian can be compelling despite being a huge stereotype (e.g. Grog from CR Season 1). Just make sure you fit in with the group, and that the group fits with you.
1. Do not be disruptive to the party. If you need to justify a severely douchey decision to a party member or overall party (e.g. killing an NPC or guard for annoying you, stealing from the party, or Leeroy Jenkins-ing) as thats what my character would do, its a sign that you shouldnt have made that character. With experience and trust between the group you can bend this rule a little if it makes for compelling narrative, but dont be murderhobo.

I have the "Essentials Kit" - got it on sale a couple weeks ago - and Hero Forge minis I'm working on painting once a month at a local gaming store (there are many in my area but only that one seems to have the open paint session), so all that advice matters for when I DO play. Thanks!

Never play the character.

The point of D&D is that its a game about adventuring, and adventuring is friggin dangerous. Thats why the vast majority of people in the world dont do it.

Top 5 worst things you did in China and japan

My business trip didn't have 5 things, so I'm going to do top 5 including my study abroad in China a few years back.

5. Get into a cab not knowing any Mandarin and pray the driver would take me where I needed to go based on what I hoped was an accurate copy of a Chinese address. (He did.)
4. Get separated from my other students in the Forbidden City because I wanted to see the Hall of Clocks. The Hall of Clocks is fucking awesome but I scared the shit out of everyone.
3. Play Japanese Vending Machine Roulette as I waited for my train to Osaka, resulting in the worst-tasting tea of my life.
2. Come damn close to becoming buddies with the leader of Wuhan University's College Communists -- until he drunkenly started going on about how "we'll get that island (Taiwan) back eventually."
1. Teach my fellow American students how to play Liar's Dice so they could play it as a drinking game with the Chinese students... even though I don't drink.

Yeah I know its a particularly hot take, but cheap cantrips that interact with the board meaningfully are great. Theres a reason they made this effect cost three in most later releases.
