Since this got bumped ... Andor really synched up nicely into Rogue One, and served as a solid ending to itself. Would I love to see more from the characters that survived? Yes. But I am ... satisfied with what I got.

I liked it well enough. Still didn't answer the issue with Reliant not figuring out the planets, but I liked fleshing out the other Augments and Naveen Andrews made a good Khan. Marla McGivers got some needed characterization to better understand "Space Seed". This didn't blow me away, but it...

4e DnD. I started with 3.5, played in only a few campaigns and tried DMing once (it didn't go well). With the new edition claiming to be easier to run and play, I tried DMing again with some new players. We played a lot of 4e, rotating DM duties, and participating in organized play campaigns...

I'm really trying to stay with IRL play currently ... while online play saved my sanity during the pandemic, I had so missed the tactile nature of RPGs and being at the table that now that I can play in person ... I don't really want to fight tech to play RPGs. That said ... I've always been on...

I have a Druid in my group and while the PC is strong, (Counterspell is really good y'all), they haven't felt ridiculously overpowered. One, Action economy remains a thing. Two, losing access to spells while in Beastform has made for some interesting tactical decisions. Three, the other PCs...

Saw it in theaters. It was pretty, but slacked a bit in the middle. Interesting film, but not one of Del Toro's best, for me. Solid performances

That's fair. And it's not like I didn't think of buying one as a gift, gag or otherwise. It's just I find them so generic. The "funko-ization" of a person or character to that oval head and blank stare, reliant on the fashion to sell the character ... if they weren't in a box with their name...

I've worked retail selling Funkos and I do not understand the appeal

The 3.5 Adventure Path Savage Tide. I've liked the mix of pirates and demons. I nearly ran it in 4e, than in 5e. Now I'm debating a Daggerheart version of it.

I assume Nasir is the archetypal one that everything after riffs on, but I don't know the source material, lol

I'd like to see a Daggerheart expansion, with the Dread Domain, and a lot of the current Void content made official. For 5e, dunno. Support for adventures over 15th level, more new content and less reprinting 2014 material.

DnD 5e24, Rime of the Frostmaiden: Won Poker, Roasted Icy Murderer

Nuts ... add another campaign idea to the pile. I've always found that I prefer DnD that is a pretty big tent, genre-wise. It's why Eberron calls to me. It's why I want my players meeting in taverns that are more Mos Eisley Cantina than the Prancing Pony.

Yes, assuming the innovations were ones I liked ... but .. Here's the big "it depends" ... systems like this do require broader buy-in. I'm playing in a 5e24 campaign, so I'm playing 5e24. I'm GMing Daggerheart ... after a one-shot that the players liked so much it's become a full campaign. If...

Do you have a link to this video? I can't seem to find it ETA: Nevermind, found it.
