    How do you choose a class?

    How many moving parts does this class have? How much do i need to plan ahead for this class? How many decisions do I have to make during play? The class that answers closest to "Not very many! Not at all! Like 3 at most!" is the one I pick.

    An examination of player agency

    I can get with that, though I think equating Adventure Path with Campaign is a little off. Every campaign I've played in, even those that weren't sandboxes, had more freedom than an AP. The GMs I referenced had been playing with us for years before introducing the APs (as you say, they're a...

    An examination of player agency

    I'm minded to mention that on every occasion I've been a player in one of these new-fangled Adventure Paths, we have reduced the GM to frustrated tears by cutting across the authority provided by the AP's structure. Refusal to play along with the breadcrumb trail and uprooting the campaign...

    What Published Modules Have You Run or Played Multiple Times?

    Played 1st ed Temple of Elemental Evil too many times to count. As GM multiple times: Against the Cult of the Reptile God, Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Those three modules are my favourites. Unlike many, I've never played in or run a Ravenloft module.

    Worlds of Design: Artifacts of Cosmic Power

    Imagine an artifact that imagines itself a network. An information network, if you will. At first it draws together the voices of the outsider, the dispossessed, the obsessed. It amplifies and directs those voices through channels that would never have been allowed to exist before the forging of...

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    Ah the details are probably too political for ENWorld. Maybe I will get away with saying that a Black british comedian recently made a few jokes about the transition to the new Doctor that hit hard.

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    I think this is the undermining cherry on the undermining cake. Bringing Tennant back was obviously necessary to breathe life back into the show before launching Gatwa, but it does smack of problematics. If they bring back the Master for the Gatwa run I'd love if they went back to the "monster...

    D&D 5E No One Plays High Level?

    I love high level play, by which I mean 14+. And I don't just mean with older editions but also with 5e. High level play takes D&D and pushes it out towards the event horizon. It's a chance to take things beyond what normally constitutes a D&D game. It isn't about dungeons, it isn't even about...

    D&D General better dark elves?

    In my Greyhawk campaign there are three main drow sub-cultures. Those that worship the Elemental Eye are the extremist always-evil-hate-all-life drow. Those that worship Lolth just want to be left alone to play emo-rulers of the underdark, farm spiders and wear fabulous silk creations. The third...

    Marvel Studios' Echo | Official Trailer | Disney+ and Hulu

    Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin is legit the only thing that peaks above RDJ's 2008 Iron Man and the early CA/Avengers movies on my Marvel Nerdometer.

    Yes. You ever see what a .44 Magnum does to a superhero franchise?
