We finished Pharaoh. The PCs convinced the Tears of Athis to let them keep Amun Sa's implements. Since I am on holiday for the next few weeks, I am going to spend some time converting Grasp of the Emerald Claw to 5e and upscaling it for 8th level PCs at the same time.

If you’re familiar with the stage play, you’ll know that’s not it. They teased us with Boy Scout Henry opening the dead man’s case but haven’t yet showed us what happened next. The ball of exotic matter above the Upside Down version of the lab is another clue.

Finally finished my initial readthrough of Adventures in Faerûn. I dislike some of the mini-setting changes they introduced, and I also dislike some of the graphic design and layout choices they made. Being a details-oriented person, I couldn’t help but notice the lack of attention to detail in...

Do we know yet whether Dr Doom is a variant of Tony Stark, or is this just a case of RDJ playing two different characters? Could be the former given this is part of the multiverse saga, but we’ve had a few instances of the latter before so there is precedent.

Perhaps he did know (or assumed) she was in the hospital but needed to read Will’s mind to figure out which room she was in. (After all, the mind reading bit we see isn’t Will going to the hospital, it’s him going down the hall to the door, with the number on it, and then opening it to show Max...

Brigitte Bardot has died, aged 91.

I just noticed that I’m down to 10 posts per page too. @Morrus?

My mother managed to find me a decent used copy of Hell Bay for Christmas. It’s the only one of Will Thomas’ excellent Barker and Llewelyn detective series that’s no longer in print* (and was thus the only one aside from the newest book not in my collection). I’d read it before, having borrowed...

EDIT: Nah. Never mind.

Yeah, that was a good one. Will is not a sorcerer. Eleven is the real sorcerer. In 5e terms, she can be the psionic-themed aberrant mind sorcerer. But her origin story has sorcerer written all over it. Her powers are innate. It annoyed me how Mike kept saying Will's powers were innate. I think...

Thanks for taking the time to explain! I appreciate it. Being in a different time zone, I get a different time stamp (for me, it says you posted at 10:46 pm on Dec 25). That's probably partly why I was confused.

Just watched episodes 5 and 6! Whooo boy! Gotta wait till after dinner to watch the last one. Then it’s another week till the finale!

Uh, he says he's "an hour and a half into Xmas Day" and that he "put on [his] Xmas Day playlist" and that the song played while he was out of the room playing a computer game and concludes that if he had "waited two more songs [he] would have been out". I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Could...

According to Wikipedia, Whamageddon "is a game played during the 24 days before Christmas in which players try to go from 1 December to the end of Christmas Eve (24 December) ..." According to the Whamageddon website, the 2nd rule is "The game starts on December 1st and finishes at the end of...

Nah, you would've been fine. You only have to last till the end of Christmas Eve. If you hear it on Christmas Day, you're all good!
