    I think Veilguard might have wrecked something in my PC. It’s almost six years old, and I think the strain of running the game was too much for something. 😭 My wife used the computer just fine this morning, and then it sat in sleep mode for most of the day. Now, it is a very hot day today, and...

    D&D General About to run Storm King's Thunder; Any tips ?

    I have played through SKT and run it once. I love it. One of my favorites. For my run-through, I made the PCs all be Lords' Alliance agents based out of Waterdeep. I ran "Trouble in Red Larch" from Princes of the Apocalypse and then followed that with a slightly beefed up version of Scourge of...

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    Yep! As you already know, it turns out an FLGS in Auckland had the FR books already as well! Such pretty covers. I love that it’s all one big piece of art. Wish I could hang it on my wall!

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    Today is the release date here in Auckland for Eberron: Forge of the Artificer! I picked up my alt cover copy at my FLGS over my lunch break. I've already read the whole thing on DDB but I'm looking forward to flipping through the actual book once I'm finished work.

    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    Yep! I hear you! My miniatures are languishing forlorn in their containers because Maps is just so much quicker and easier. There are still a few quality-of-life features I'd like them to add, but given how actively they are working on it, I'm sure they'll get around to those things eventually...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    IMO the most 3e era setting book is Wildmount. It’s got the demographic details for various cities and stuff like that, all that good stuff that WotC abandoned for 5e.

    I’m most excited about art/handouts coming to Maps!

    General video game discussion

    Something that has always irked me about the Dragon Age games is that they present you with these grand "save the world" (or "save Kirkwall" in DAII's case) plots and then make you feel like you're just running errands. DA:O has stuff like finding some dwarf merchant's lost nugs ... or running...

    I thought I'd fixed the stuttering by doing the clean driver install, but that seemed to be only a temporary fix. Still can't figure out what's causing it. Doesn't seem to be an overheating issue. I'm powering through it anyway. I've just got two companions left to recruit. I love how most of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lost Library of Lethchauntos AAR. My Magnum Opus Campaign?

    OK but by magnum opus, do you mean that nothing you run after this campaign will be as good? ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) Lost Library of Lethchauntos AAR. My Magnum Opus Campaign?

    Don't think I've had the full compliment of players turn up to a session 0 in a long time. Pretty annoying really. What makes this your "magnum opus"?

    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Yes, and it's the same guy who is working on the warforged with the nose in all the artwork. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it's meant to be Merrix d'Cannith. (The book never says.)

    General video game discussion

    I did a clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers and fingers crossed that seems to have fixed it. As an aside, I am currently in the Atlantis-like undersea elven ruin-turned-Venatori prison. This is an awesome environment. I love it! Would make for a badass D&D dungeon. (One thing I don't...

    Veilguard has started stuttering when I play it now. Worked great yesterday! I’ve tried all sorts of things with no success so far. I had the same problem with Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, but only long after I’d finished the main story. I think it was a DirectX update that messed up that game...
