Yeah, no. It's much more satire than parody. But also quite a loving look at the life of a jobbing "ack-TOR", as Trevor would say.

Really? That's quick! We had to wait two years for super-powered Monica Rambeau to return after her debut in WandaVision! (And we're still waiting for White Vision to return.)

By the way, Wonder Man has no credits scenes. I suspect that's because it will be a standalone one-off like Moon Knight. While Echo was also a one-off, it was't a standalone series - it spun off from Hawkeye and also featured a character integral to the Daredevil series, hence why it ended with...

Interesting. Since this season is nearing its conclusion, I assume much of what they're hinting at is for a future season/s? (I am operating on the assumption that they'll try to milk this show for as long as they profitably can rather than give us a proper story with a beginning, middle, and end.)

Indeed. And it is getting a lot harder to detect when something is AI-generated than it used to be even just a few months ago. I am in the process of looking for a new job. I've been using ChatGPT to help me customize my CV and generate cover letters, which I then edit. I just had an interview...

Thank you! That is ore or less what I wanted to know. I had already added some spells and magic items via homebrew for my Eberron campaign, but it would be nice to have the whole lot already encoded. I don’t recall there being any feats in the original book. What are the new feats in this...

So has anyone got the DDB version of Exploring Eberron yet? I've got the original in PDF, and I love it as a lore resource, but I haven't made much use of the actual mechanics (subclasses, species, magic items, etc), some of which don't seem all that well written (either over- or under-powered...

There were also some distinct Wes Anderson vibes. This show was a lot of fun to watch. I would happily watch this again.

First episode was fantastic! Loved the soundtrack as well. EDIT: Just binged the whole thing. That’s peak Marvel Television right there. I think that just replaced WandaVision as the best MCU show. Everyone was great, but Sir Ben Kingsley really knocked it out of the park. It’s like both a...

I found a third one! The Random Tamarack Stand Encounters table includes an abandoned wagon with a mimic pretending to be a crate. Anyway, I am just about as ready as I can be. I've got my opening encounter prepped, and I've read through both the Wilderness and Keep booklets. I've also...

Finished my fourth playthrough of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Ended up going with a Veil Jumper elf rogue saboteur after all. That was fun. Even on my fourth playthrough, I still found new quests and new locations. I’ve also got a low-level LoF Qunari slayer warrior, but 2H weapons are so slow...

Yes to the first question, no to the second. Here's the answer as per Wookieepedia, which draws on the Clone Wars cartoon plus various auxiliary sources: "Through his hate and rage, Maul managed to survive being cut in half as his top half fell down the reactor shaft and into a trash container...

I'm wondering when exactly this is set. It may actually be pre-Solo, in which case we won't see Qi'ra. (Also unlikely to be voiced by Emilia Clarke, unfortunately; the animated shows have never had the OG voice actors - Katie Sackhoff was the only one to go the other way.) I liked it initially...

It's been a while since I taught a new player how to play D&D. This set's booklets seem to do a good job teaching a new DM how to run the game, but unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't seem to provide much guidance on how a new DM can teach new players about the rules and such. When you guys run...

OK, so the adventure includes not one but two abandoned wagon encounters. There's the one that Pral and his gang looted on the wilderness trail, and there's the one that Oleira is expecting that's running late because its driver got eaten by a stowaway ooze. The latter has some quirks. I'm...
