Just started a Dragonlance campaign with friends - playing as a glaive-wielding human paladin, as I've never used the paladin class or polearms. (and I've never really tried playing 'lawful good' either, so this'll be new haha) Let me just say, it's pretty good! We're only level 1 but I've got the Polearm Mastery feat, so I'm able to dish out all sorts of damage from afar. Planning on getting Sentinel too, so that my attacks of opportunity can stop enemies from moving once I hit them, for some hit-and-run goodness.

Anyway, first combat (with a party split - I was in a group of three, the other two were off doing their own thing) involved me taking out both enemies with one turn, due some great damage rolls and the bonus action attack I get. Apparently though, the lizardmen/dragonborn guys we faced have various 'AoE attack on death' ability. The thing is, as I'm a polearm user, I was out of range of both! My companions though, not so much... :getin: One was taken down to 1hp by the acid spray, while the other was taken down to -1hp, requiring a medicine check on my part, afterwards... I think I'm gonna enjoy this! :D Move around, stab guys without them stabbing me, then see them burst in acid, from afar. I can see why the polearm master feat is popular! Seems great - especially for the Dragonlance setting, if this encounter was any indication

When I was pouring over the martial arts companion for Rolemaster when I was a kid, I imagined a meeting of different weapon schools, like a convetion of some sorts. I imagined coming there with my spear school which was quite smaller than the different sword schools, and not very popular, but the other people grudgingly gave us respect.

Nectar is just way too strong in that expansion. It's always the best choice to pick it when it's available.

You gotta get the nectar first. When you get the nectar, you get the birds. Then when you get the birds, you get the eggs.

I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugar cane field.

Played some Wormhole to Uranus, a drinking/card game that is a lot more fun than the name implies.

Then went through setting up characters for a Shadowrun module I'm going to run using Savage Worlds/Sprawlrunners to get around the Shadowrun jank

How do you like Spralwrunners? I was planning to use Cities Without Number for my next cyberpunk game, but I love the latest edition of Savage Worlds and Sprawlrunners looks rad.

Sprawlrunners is real good. Only thing I feel like it could do better is Physical Adepts, they take too long to hit their stride. That's more of a problem with Melee characters in all Savage Worlds though
