    Spoilers SW: Tales of the Empire ( spoilers ). I

    What a great little show! And yeah, as somebody said upthread, the animation side of Star Wars remains as the undisputed provider of good stories. And holy naughty word! What a gorgeous show. And the action sequences! Breathtaking. Special mention to both Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee as great...

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    I gotta say: after 9 episodes, and some stumbles, this series is everything I hoped for and dream about when it was first announced back in the day. And yeah, I'm your basic bitch queer who's always loved the X-Men because it feels like a story about people like me who happen to be superheroes...

    Heartbreaking in the best way. (Avatar Legends, end of Season 3 of a planned 4-season campaign ☺ 🖤)

    D&D General The thread where I review a ton of Ravenloft modules

    As a forever Ravenloft lover, I gotta say I'm loving this series, @der_kluge And I totally agree with your assessments of the modules I've ran that you've reviewed! I've ran "Night of the Walking Dead" at least 3 times, the last time under 5e a couple of years ago. I sadly bought and tried to...

    I can't believe the season is ending already! 😭 Seasons are so short these days 😢

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    Ooph! The whole series so far—and this episode in particular—hit a little too close to home as a queer person. The threat of having anyone turn on you, (because they're afraid you represent the end of "normal"/people like them), is something all queer people have to deal with. The heart-breaking...

    Spoilers Bad Batch: Final Season *SPOILERS*

    A pretty sweet ending for sure. I cried a couple of times in the episode proper, but the epilogue scene just broke me. The animated SW proves once again that it may very well be the best thing to come out after the original trilogy.

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    A wonderfully heart-wrenching episode. As a Rogue lover, this episode was everything I could have asked for. IMO, however, this should've been episode 6 and the aired episode 6 should've been 7 or even later. I needed this episode after 5. At least we got it, though ☺

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    You say Sailor Moon transformation-like as if that is a bad thing when I consider it one of the highest compliment animation-wise. I was commenting to some friends the other day that, on a recent rewatch, OG Sailor Moon remains an incredible series, and that Usagi's transformation into Sailor...

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    Just finished watching 4 & 5. Holy sh*t. They ripped my heart out! I love what they're doing with this series. The writing is top notch, IMO, and they're hitting all the emotional beats. I was afraid they would try to tone down the soap opera in this sequel but, if anything, they've leaned on it...

    MCDM Update: The Power Roll

    I don't think the OGL stuff has anything to do with doing honest and transparent design diaries that are, in essence, free RPG design lessons available to anybody 🤷‍♀️

    MCDM Update: The Power Roll

    I think this is a solid decision and one that, in the long run, will make the final game better, regardless of whether it survives until the final design or not. MCDM continues to be the only RPG company I can think of that is this transparent and honest when it comes to their design decisions...
