Such an awesome movie. I loved it as a kid. The sequel is forgettable (as most sequels are) which is unfortunate because Marc Singer owned that role.

I am happy to say that we got to see a red dragon fight an aboleth IN SPACE.

I have used Wave Echo Cave three times. Two for Phandelver, but the most recent was an underground gangster base in the Rock of Bral. It wasn't a rushing river though; just had some standing water. I absolutely love that map. The PCs ended up going back TWICE to the map actually, so I got...

One of my absolute favorite fights from Curse of Strahd was when the PCs fought a vampire spawn at low level, had no good way to really hurt it, and used the druid's bear shape to wrestle it into a creek so that running water annihilated the spawn. It got carried downstream, screaming and...

That certainly is a good one. I just run games online and I don't actually use books anymore. I do drag and drop tokens from various monster manuals, that's the closest thing to using a book. If I had to GUESS, I have been using this recently and adapting monsters from it to 5e. Which is mostly...

My recent campaigns have all been rather long, 1.5- 2 years. That's fine, I like them, but I think moving forward I'm going to do 6 month stories and try different game systems. There's so many great games, and while I like 5e, it's just one of many. If time were no issue I would rerun the...

Firelich annihilated by space ballistae.

How rare is that to cross $2 million?

I am glad I have a stack of old board games that I have not used and can fall back on for a long while if necessary, but this is terrible, terrible news for small publishers. It could take years for the repercussions of this to balance out again.

I thought it was a great product. I got the digital version. I introduced a Deck to my Spelljammer game, but the players never used it and I eventually phased it out, and ultimately used nothing from the Book. I would have integrated some side plots if they actually utilized it (the Donjon...

I bought 1e too. They're good, but the game was a little more complex than what we wanted. Mothership would probably tell the same kind of story just as well if not better. I won't be getting 2nd edition, but from the little I've seen it looks better.

The only way this could have succeeded long term was to to sell module packages with bundled 3D maps and minis. I guess the cost to produce such products and the time needed was way beyond their projected returns.

I ran a Powered by the Apocalypse Dungeon World mini-campaign (9 sessions) and I had a really hard time wrapping my head around the flow of the game. I didn't particularly enjoy it, and didn't have a desire to run it again.
