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...

Sounds a lot like the start to Lost Mine of Phandelver!

So the Quick-Start Guide suggests that new DMs begin with the Wilderness booklet. That booklet suggests they start with the Trail region. The first bit of read-aloud text indicates that the PCs are traveling on "a well-kept trail east of the Keep on the Borderlands". There's no attempt to...

Fallout 4 is still the only Fallout game I've played. I've played through it three times - Minutemen, Railroad, and BoS. Don't think I could ever side with the Institute. I've tried and failed to play it without engaging with the settlement mini-game. Building settlements is so much fun - and...

This looks fantastic! I love that Star Wars found an animation style that works for them and have stuck with it. I also feel that animation is where Star Wars truly shines. This looks like it will be about Mail finding himself a new Jedi survivor apprentice (the Twi’lek). I wonder if we will...

I don’t know what each of them will pick. I like that the set gives the players a choice of two subclasses at 3rd level (e.g. assassin or thief for the rogue).

I'll be running this for my daughters and their friends on Monday (Auckland Anniversary holiday).

I've been toying with doing a RHoD conversion. I ran it once in 3.5e. It was a tough but fun adventure. One thing I'd been toying with was swapping out the goblinoid army and the dragonspawn and mixing in elements of both DragonLance and Tyranny of Dragons, so the main invading army would be...

Must be geoblocked cos I can’t see it on YouTube. Just trailers and reviews.

I just watched a video clip from this yesterday! So hilarious.

The Burn was an event that caused most of the galaxy’s dilithium to suddenly go inert, which in turn caused all active warp cores to explode. Lots of people died, and the galaxy collapsed back into a sort of Dark Ages since warp travel became so rare. By the time Discovery shows up, even Earth...
