I've heard the new show is pretty good (and it's based on arguably the best ASOIAF spinoff novel), but agreed that the cruelty and gratuitous gore turned me off GoT as a franchise. I respect it for trying to rebuttle and examine Tolkien's biases and shortcomings, but ultimately this just sends...

It's essentially a twist on the class to make it an Arcane Gish akin to Hexblade, Bladesinger, Eldritch Knight, Valor Bard, etc. Which is good to have, because Bladesinger is ultimately a bit too squishy of a gish, and there's viable space here given that Artificer is the arcane halfcaster. I...

Honestly, I've enjoyed a lot of the 4E Domains of Dread articles from Dragon and Dungeon. And I thought VRGtR approached the horror setting a lot more palatably. Though on topic with Dark Sun, part of me just wants them to keep the idea of Halflings as a forebear cultural now confined to the...

I'm not an expert on specs, though I've seen it compared to a halfway between PS4 and PS5, but also a handheld if you want to take it on the go. I will say that the spec bumps were worth it for me given that I have a 2017 4K TV and it's been underutilized an entire console generation, and it's...

Fair counter. But it's better for my wallet that way. And I prefer cheaper, withered tech that let's me roll advantage on the innovations, rather than constantly racing for the most cutting edge marginal +1 modifiers.

I don't know if we have a lot of feedback on the revised version of the Forge Adept yet, but I'll say that ever since 2020 people have said that Forge Adept scratched an itch that Battle Smith didn't quite hit because of the forced use of a Digimon eating up core subclass features. Forge Adept...

Backrooms like the analog horror concept that took off after the meme of a sickly yellow FLGS under reno shook a generation of Pandemic kiddos. Especially the Kane Pixels take on the setting. — Anonymous, 4chan (May 13, 2019)

Smart choice to play off of a very popular game. But I still won't watch it until they bring BG3 to Switch 2. If they can't do that, then I'm not interested in watching a sequel show. And I'm a fan of BG 1 & 2! (I enjoyed OG Dark Alliance but given that we only got Part 1 on GameCube, I am...

Record of Lodoss War's B/X D&D setting famously had its deities all dead from the War of the Gods. But they still have an active hand because fo the faith of their followers, and because a particularly powerful Cleric could use their body to open a door to that deity's resurrection or at least...

Wow that's really cool!

Visionary Productions posted an FAQ including the answer to your question, on Facebook here. But for ease of viewing, esp. for folks without FB, I screenshotted and attached below. Suffice to say, there's not going to be errata, but if you own the 5E 2014 version of the book, you will be able...

I like the Outlands as a sort of extra-reality "Backrooms" of the setting – sort of a liminal space between the Material, the Astral, the other planes, and the Far Realm. If I was placing it in the Astral itself, I'd argue you should consider regular time passing inside of Sigil, and consider...

Fair.

I'm not trying to convince you about anything. Chill off. I did recommend Lanefan look at the Exhaustion rules, which are one way of forcing longer rest periods for players because they only lose a single level of exhaustion each long rest. This is a secondary dial that can be used if the...

Are you implying that the Book of Er**** Fantasy wasn't the threequel to the Book of Vile Darkness and the Book of Exalted Deeds?

One thing I've found works really well for Once 'Round the Realms adventures like HotDQ is the ability to plug and play other modules and sandboxes into the game to layer multiple B plots over the adventure and make it feel significantly less railroaded. As HotQ wanders long road and river...

I had though "Hold Back the Dead" was supposed to be their full adventure book for later 2024/early 2025; they seemed to be hinting at this back in 2023, talking about the Red Wizards taking center stage in their next adventure. This makes me think something went wrong in the development of...
