I still would have preferred the spellfire as Supernatural Gifts they experimented with early on but having the options of a sorcerer subclass and some feats is OK. I can still use the playtest version in my home games.

They did a lot of research for many of the adventures. Tyranny of Dragons draws on lots of little lore drops from previous editions. As for the preserver druid and defiler sorcerer, while I still don’t like either of them mechanically, I’m less worried that they will be the only options for...

I was originally going to go with Babylon or Nineveh, but since Ancient Greece was a bit before Ancient Rome, I thought that Athens fit the joke better.

Oh yeah? Well, I was Athens some years before that! 🤪

I can imagine! Wow. That's callous. I can still remember much of 9/11 in great detail. It just no longer feels like it happened yesterday.

I was 8 in 1989. I vaguely remember seeing news on the TV about the Berlin Wall coming down. I have an even vaguer memory of watching the Challenger explode on the TV news. (I would have been 5 then.) Contrast that with my memories of 9/11. Those felt seared in my memory as if they had happened...

OK, well then I guess maybe I won't ever play Baldur's Gate 3 unless someone gives it to me as a gift! I just can't justify spending more than NZ$50 at most on a video game these days.

That, too. And then he went and made it so people can teleport across the galaxy in the next film ...

Exactly. I appreciated that JJ included a "no sound in space" scene in his first Star Trek film, but then he had to go and show a flashback of Spock watching Vulcan implode with his naked eye from the surface of that ice planet. JJ calls himself a sci-fi fan, but he really doesn't appreciate the...

OK but that's not on DDB, right? They could have made a custom NPC stat block version of Astarion for this DLC instead of just saying "Use the generic vampire spawn". Missed opportunity. I was initially put off during the early stages by the weird past tense dialogue. These days, I'm put off by...

Oops! LOL. That H must have crept in there because this is ENWorld ...

Do we know that the show is ending with Pike handing over to Kirk? I love the show, but I don't generally seek out news about it outside of this thread!

Yeah, it was easily one of the worst experiences of my life.

Do we expect that SNW will end with Pike's accident, or will they leave that as something that happens between SNW and TOS?

I reinstalled that game after bouncing off it the first time, but I haven't started playing it again yet. Got back into Stardew Valley after going to the live concert with my wife.
