Today is the release date here in Auckland for Eberron: Forge of the Artificer! I picked up my alt cover copy at my FLGS over my lunch break. I've already read the whole thing on DDB but I'm looking forward to flipping through the actual book once I'm finished work.

Yep! I hear you! My miniatures are languishing forlorn in their containers because Maps is just so much quicker and easier. There are still a few quality-of-life features I'd like them to add, but given how actively they are working on it, I'm sure they'll get around to those things eventually...

IMO the most 3e era setting book is Wildmount. It’s got the demographic details for various cities and stuff like that, all that good stuff that WotC abandoned for 5e.

I’m most excited about art/handouts coming to Maps!

Something that has always irked me about the Dragon Age games is that they present you with these grand "save the world" (or "save Kirkwall" in DAII's case) plots and then make you feel like you're just running errands. DA:O has stuff like finding some dwarf merchant's lost nugs ... or running...

I thought I'd fixed the stuttering by doing the clean driver install, but that seemed to be only a temporary fix. Still can't figure out what's causing it. Doesn't seem to be an overheating issue. I'm powering through it anyway. I've just got two companions left to recruit. I love how most of...

OK but by magnum opus, do you mean that nothing you run after this campaign will be as good? ;)

Don't think I've had the full compliment of players turn up to a session 0 in a long time. Pretty annoying really. What makes this your "magnum opus"?

Yes, and it's the same guy who is working on the warforged with the nose in all the artwork. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it's meant to be Merrix d'Cannith. (The book never says.)

I did a clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers and fingers crossed that seems to have fixed it. As an aside, I am currently in the Atlantis-like undersea elven ruin-turned-Venatori prison. This is an awesome environment. I love it! Would make for a badass D&D dungeon. (One thing I don't...

Veilguard has started stuttering when I play it now. Worked great yesterday! I’ve tried all sorts of things with no success so far. I had the same problem with Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, but only long after I’d finished the main story. I think it was a DirectX update that messed up that game...

Yes, I figured a lot of the hate was for reasons we can't discuss here. I do see other criticisms, though - it's "not Dragon Age", it's "too Fortnite", "all the companions get along too well", Rook is "too shallow", etc. Now, I've only been playing it for a little while, but nothing I've seen...

I am loving Veilguard so far. I don't get why people don't like it. But I am also loving being able to save whenever I want and being able to skip bits that I've already seen (I started over so I could change my starting faction to the Grey Wardens and also tried to make the Inquisitor look more...

Because the Upside Down didn’t exist yet then. It was still just the chaotic Dimension X. It was only after Henry transformed into Vecna that he gained some form of control over the dimension. El making contact with the demogorgon is the first such dimensional contact since she pushed Henry...

The first novel is, in part, an adaptation of the first two (?) DL modules. Weis and Hickman made changes to the story based on their group’s playthrough (like Raistlin charming Bupu).
