Yeah, high level combats get exhausting. I'm not sure how I'd handle it differently if I wrote it today. I mean, you want the climax to involve some big battles, given the campaign's name, but I think I overdid it. Lord of the Rings didn't have the Battle of Pelennor Fields last multiple days...

Man, be careful with the yellow journalism. Or at least have some other paper report on them more favorably? I ran an Eberron game set in Sharn where the session recaps were written by a journalist who had decided to turn the PCs into villains by blaming everything on them. Sadly the campaign...

I mean, parasocial or not, I would be okay seeing Mark Zuckerberg get eaten by an alien. The showrunner is excellent. I have no concerns other than the fact that I don't currently have access to the channel that this will be on.

In a recent campaign I GMed, I had an NPC point out to the PCs that, like, nobody has mapped the planes. And since you get to these places through portals and dimension hopping, there isn't a consistent passage that you can chart out. Like, for as much confidence as a wizard might say, "Oh...

PF has been around for, what, 15 years now? How much metaplot has happened in the real world. Various regional revolutions and a few wars that led to the collapse of regimes, a few major companies rising and falling (akin to gods being created or dying), and the pandemic, and numerous countries...

It's a nice hallucination. It'd be a cool weird bit to put in the news, where in adventure 2 or 3 an enterprising PC might poke around looking for clues, maybe even notice odd sigils under the bridge, but not be able to make heads or tails of it.

Hm, nifty.

My preference was that dragons aren't inherently aligned in any way. But I know that color-coded dragons are very classic D&D tropes, though, so . . . I dunno, what metallic dragon breathes fire? Brass?

Y'know, I kinda agree. I still quite enjoyed the season, but episode 9 was the climax. Ten through twelve were denouement. It doesn't have the same, "Oh, man, I can't wait to see what happens next" vibe as the end of season 1, but then again, I've seen what happens next. It's a fanedit -...

It is truly madness how fifteen years ago, the same cartographer who would go on to do the World of Ice and Fire maps, when asked to do like five maps for ZEITGEIST, only asked for a few hundred bucks. Luckily, these days successful books have bigger audiences, so publishers can better afford to...

I appreciate that at least the characters are presented as important to this story in their own right, rather than being what is mockingly called a "Glup Shitto" - a parody Star Wars character name used to mock the excitement more hyperfocused SW fans feel when an obscure character gets featured...

(I edited this into the previous post right as you were asking the question. :D) The blaster is one that Andor got off of Syril way back in episode 3 of the first season. Andor brought it to the Aldhani heist, then stashed it on Niamos in his room at the resort, then after he and Melshi escaped...

People on reddit who rewatched the first season recently were very excited. And I have no recollection of who Melshi is. But he's this guy from Narkina 5's prison. The blaster is one that Andor got off of Syril way back in episode 3 of the first season. Andor brought it to the Aldhani...
