That sounds incredibly exciting! Ryan Gosling in a Star Wars movie? I can already imagine how intense and captivating his role could be. Plus, with Shawn Levy directing, especially with his experience in action and superhero films like Deadpool and Wolverine, this could really be something...

You're right that it's generally not recommended to lay a TV on its side, mainly because of how liquid crystal displays (LCD) or LED TVs are built. Laying a TV flat or sideways can sometimes put extra strain on the internal components, especially the display panel and backlighting. However, if...

It's a classic PHB moment. You’d think they’d fix this by now. We hope support doesn’t take forever!

Yeah, WotC’s store is a mess. Amazon might be a corporate behemoth, but at least they deliver on time without the hassle!

For the tween, try An Enchantment of Ravens—a fantasy romance without sci-fi. For you, maybe Sapiens if you want engaging non-fiction!

One of the key features is how bounded accuracy shapes the game. With attack rolls and ACs designed to remain relatively stable across levels, it ensures that lower-level creatures can still pose a threat while higher-level characters don’t steamroll everything automatically.

"Strongholds & Followers" by Matt Colville offers ideas for expanding the world at higher levels, giving PCs stakes and responsibilities beyond adventuring.

Ravnica and Strixhaven would be fascinating for a more unique setting. Ravnica’s guilds and politics would make for some intriguing casino heists. Exandria and Ank'harel also offer cool options, especially given Ank'harel’s rich cultural setting, which could make a casino heist feel right at home.

Sounds like a near-constant string of close calls and complications. The whole setup was intense, with tight timelines and high-stakes moves, like the vault break and that wild getaway plan. Losing Bronwyn to the waterfall must’ve been rough, and the back-and-forth with guards was relentless! At...

Smart Sparrow is a good one. I've tried it a few times, but I can say that the others are also good

I love how you're weaving together elements of Dragonheist and Undermountain with The Stygian Gambit! Moving the casino to Skullport is a perfect fit—especially since Skullport has that underworld vibe, making it plausible for a shady casino to exist there. It adds a lot of depth by involving...
