From Game of thrones: AI summation

Jedi Mind Trick is more like the Command spell, a direct compulsion to the mind. The problem is, Old Ben Kenobi really likes using the JMT, like all the time. How do we know Ben didn't 'persuade' Luke about the 'truth' of the Jedi and his father? The problem with mind control is it is causes...

I think a network of 'home' bases works best. There is a hamlet/thorpe/village with the usual mundane tools and repairs available and an inn/tavern/caravanserai that the party can find rumors or brag about their deeds. There are also smaller places spread out away from the village, the farmstead...

Changing the baseline kind is a big change to the lore of Athas. Mechanically, it is a sound and simple switch, but it definitely is a shift in tone.

I find I don't mind an update, if it is done well. 'Done well' being entirely subjective, arbitrary and capricious. I just need a re-imagining to stay true to the core identity of Dark Sun, a dying world ravaged by magic, ruled by sorcerer tyrants, alien yet familiar to traditional fantasy...

Didn't think we would see this so soon; 5.26E Dark Sun, neat. I am going to take this UA at face value. No point reading defiled tea leaves over what this means for the setting. Circle of Preservation Druid It is an interesting subclass. Potentially some broken shenanigans with the cube of...

I was reading about a fungus that afflicts silk worms, cordyceps militaris. It infects the host and secretes an enzyme that converts the trehalose from leafy goodness the worm eats, into glucose, which the caterpillar cannot process, but the fungus can. The fungus corrupts the creature's...

You want pretty close to official depiction of WotC Monsters (and some Pathfinder and Kobold Press)? MZ4250 is what you need and it is free, because he is a mensch. He also has a Patreon and occasionally streams his sculpting on Twitch. MZ4250 on Thingiverse

I think it is interesting that Paizo branched out from WizKids , who have made physical minis, both pre-painted and pre-primed, for a good long time now.

Titan Forge is really stepping up their game with all these partnerships for Pathfinder and Dragonbane. My poor Elegoo Mars 2 is going to be crying instead of retiring.

I don't mind the 2 vs 1d3. It is slight variation, but still variation. The individual names for each class resource seem to be a waste of page space. I imagine in play is will just be referred to by a generic 'resource' or one classes name will become a catch-all. I am not familiar with Draw...

Jargon is fine if it can be recognized as shorthand for a larger concept. Jargon is crud when it is used to gate keep or obfuscate. The problem is the use, not the word. Ask for clarification and move on with the conversation.

You mean, Sir Drake Mallard, Righteous Rage of the Misty Vale? Does his beak offend, Sir? Excited that Titan Forge is doing these. They are a good studio with a large catalog of STL miniatures. Good to see more being produced for Dragonbane.

I don't care about the individual character art. The composition of the cover is just boring as hell, both the comic and the novel. My eyes glazed over before I could even notice there was a gold dwarf cropped out in the top image. I hope Greg Pak can spin some stories with these folks.

It is a shame to see Todd go. He may not have been a designer or developer, but he was one of the most recognizable people of the 5E era. I assume they want a fresh face to match all the other fresh faces for their product launches. I also imagine the interview format will go by the wayside for...
