A few weeks ago I ran out of my antidepressants and I thought to myself: "let's see how long I can go without antidepressants" because I like challenging myself and I like doing difficult things

I cannot stress how bad this idea was. please do not be like me. I have gained nothing from this experience, I don't know what I was thinking I would gain. there is no glory in suffering

I should go take my meds

The health insurance industry has a term for this sadistic practice. It's called "step therapy." If the choice is between a more expensive medication that works and a cheaper one that doesn't work as well and might have worse side effects, the insurance company requires that the cheaper drug be used first.

One benefit to the insurance company is that the patient on the cheaper drug might die before they get a chance to use the drug that works but is more expensive. That's money in the bank for the insurance company.

Or, the patient might be so worn down and harmed by the cheaper drug that they just give up the fight to get the drug that will help them. Again, that's bank for the insurance company.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"

Should've just called it D&D Tactics or some shit and kept it in print for the last 17 years.

You know what was great about 4th Edition D&D? It was the only WotC edition to do the whole designed encounter thing right.

Some of you might be surprised that the DM designing balanced encounters for the party wasn't really a thing in the TSR days. You could just run into some unfair killer bees who'd absolutely murderize your group and that was part of the game. The move to encounter balance came with 3rd Edition and the introduction of challenge ratings and encounter levels. You still had random encounters, but those were usually also roughly balanced for the average party level. 5th Edition is very much in a similar vein. And it's honestly… not that good or interesting.

But between the time when the oceans drank 3rd Edition and the rise of the sons of 5th Edition, there was an edition undreamed of.

Whereas 3e was still sort of trying to do the AD&D thing but not really, 4e was built from the ground up with the designed encounter premise in mind. And they made it easy and interesting! An important aspect of this was transparency. The classes were split into clear roles, so you could expect any given party to have certain bases covered. Monsters also had roles so you could easily mix and match them, and aside from level they also had a sort of difficulty category. Want to throw a horde of mooks at your party? Use minions! Need a boss fight? Use a solo monster! And you could mix and match these categories too. Plus the whole XP budget thing was way simpler.

4th Edition was so good. Too good for this sinful Earth, and certainly too good for your average 5e improv kid. I'm sorry 4e. We didn't deserve you, because we did not appreciate you.

"memory write failure at address 0xeb008a": good error message. describes the problem well enough to enable troubleshooting by an experienced user.

"something went wrong, please try again": bad error message. does not tell me anything useful.
