Wait, tickets are already on sale? Isn’t this coming out end of July? That’s got to be a record, isn’t it? Are they trying to generate desperate FOMO?

Agreed! As handy as it is to have an entire internet full of gaming material at my beck and call, there was something magical about having a new Dragon magazine show up in my mailbox every month.

That’s awesome news. Lack of VTT support is the one thing holding me back right now. While I’d love to play face to face with this, it’s a geographical impossibility with my group. I don’t even need a premium module…just a rules framework and character sheets (as a minimum) would do. Of...

Enjoyed it right up to the very last episode. Wherein, in desperation to get a second season, they turned the protagonist into a complete moron. I mean, I get he was always supposed to be a flawed character, but how the hell (heh) did his reasoning work here? (Keeping it purposely vague to...

Canadian, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard ‘you arrive to’. ‘Travel to’, ‘arrive at’. Although now I think about it, I might say “you get to Coruscant’. But definitely never ‘arrive to’.

Cool. I’d definitely be happy to play that setting (or even run it). Nicely done.

I do that a lot. Especially if I haven’t called for a roll in awhile. Players like to roll dice. I always give out what they need, but I sometimes volunteer extra if they roll exceptionally well. I could, in theory, skip the roll. But like I said, they like rolling :)

In your opinion… :)

Yeah, in doing my research into this, I’m watching the Critical Role Christmas playthrough. And 90% of the time, when Hope and Fear are rolled, Matt Mercer just tells them to gain a Hope point (or he marks a Fear for himself). And they get used at a later point. Occasionally, you can see...

Same thing happened in the Tiamat one. Escaping Tiamat isn't much of a feat when she's shooting off her breath attacks everywhere but at the heroes...

True, but I suspect that seeing Andor shortcircuited his moment of clarity. I think it went from “what have I done?” to “You! It’s all your doing!”. Andor has been his bête-noir from the start, and he was lead to believe his job here was to root out outside agitators. And suddenly, he sees...

I’m getting a completely different read on Dedra. Which may mean I need to go back and watch it again. But I don’t think she’s panicking, or at all bothered by her role in Ghorman. It’s what she was there to do, she went in with her eyes open, and in fact, the ‘cooperative rebels’ was...

Well, he could have put two and two together, seeing that this fellow he recognized is checking in under a completely different alias. Especially with his not having the official documentation. Edit: Just to add, I suspect that visitor traffic to Ghorman had probably dropped sharply over the...

Yeah, I worked front desk at a hotel for about five years. You'd be amazed how often you'd recognize return guests, even after a year. Especially if they interacted on a personal basis like Andor did on his first visit.

You’re a bad, bad person for nearly making me spill my coffee…:)
