Legacy was an awesome Star Wars comic, both innovative AND giving the punters exactly what they want - though they had to wait for it a long time. Would make an excellent TV-series or background for TV-series.

Okay, here we go. Doctor No: at the time, it was unique. No movie like this, with a murderous good guy, had ever been made. So no wonder the combination of new thrills and Connery as the human incarnation of a black panther started the franchise. The movie itself: very slow by today's standards...

Man, I hated this ending. Literally every character had to act like an idiot at times for the plot to chug along. Poor Jude Law was chomping at the bit to get some better acting partners, to no avail. A disappointing ending to a very disappointing show. Glad it’s over, and hopefully no more...

That picture of Vecna and Kas in better days looks so much like they are soon-to-be lovers having a nice cup of tea and discovering they really really like each other. Hard to see where the moral corruption that drove them into Eternal Evil would come from. Started reading the book a bit, Kas'...

I think there is a mistake in the Rod of Seven Parts Description: It starts off by saying the Wind Dukes crafted the Rod of Law, then it broke into seven pieces when it was used to defeat a big Evil and it thus became known as... the Rod of Law. Surely that must be Seven Parts???

Rise of the Drow from AAW Games. Could become GoT style if the GM does a LOT of work in that direction. Basically it's the Drow attacking a winter solstice mass, stealing a very important McGuffin and the PCs chasing them to get it back - and then discover in the Underdark that the Drow are...

So, is it out yet??????????

This was a very enjoyable session & I was seriously impressed with Morrus' DM-ing skills. Good balance between easy unforced humour and high fantasy shenanigans!

I absolutely agree. This is like Tyranny finally done (largely) right.

I was struck how much this campaign resembles a much improved Tyranny of Dragons. It also begins with an attack on a village, there is a search for powerful magic to prohibit the Dragon Queen's army from fulfilling its plans (with similar results), there's a flying castle... But here, for the...

Seems like they're going to do with Roll20 what they promised but didn't do with Astral - using the PDFs directly in the VTT. Of course, we'll have to wait and see how well all of this is going to work and how close it will be to the ideal situation we're imagining. Also, bad news for FG & Shard...

Sorry - double post.

Not so - Shard is specifically intended to play 5e and nothing else - and is hampered by only being able to use the SRD. If Wizards bought them, they'd have a VTT tailor made for their game.

Especially when you cannot rest here.

I would also have voted for 50/50 if that were possible on the poll. The fact is, I love the idea of D&D combat. And I have always been disappointed by it. In 1e AD&D we quit playing halfway through the module The Gauntlet because there was this fort full of medium-level humanoids (5 to 7 HD)...
