Is Exploring Eberron going to be updated for those that bought the PDF, but not the DnD Beyond version? I tried the old Maverick and found it wanting, in general, a caster-focused subclass stapled to a half-caster felt really weak. But that's a shame, it is, conceptually, one of my fav...

It'll be interesting to see what comes from Star Wars: Starfighter, but that, or the abandoned Rogue Squadron movie that Patty Jenkins was working on are definitely the core of a show I could see working. Star Wars but Top Gun, in other words. Elements from the Rogue and Wraith squadron legacy...

"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's ... <ack> ... and now HR is involved" "Your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the...

It's a trap! And now HR is involved!

Trying out this season of the The Traitors. I'm not generally a reality show guy, but this is amusing me, so far. Also annoying me, but, that's to be expected. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is actually surpassing my expectations and ... very good? I have been generally happy with the streaming...

With one exception, none of the following are hard "no's", if a friend insisted and had an easier onramp, I'd probably give it a go. Pokémon. I was a little too old when this started to get popular and missed it, and have little desire to dig into the list of various Pokémon and trainers and...

That was really good. I liked the resolution of it, I'm finally enjoying the cadets. The ship was in space for E1 and E4, at San Francisco for E2 and E3, but most of those interior sets are still in the ship, whether it's in space or not. So Ake's and the kids quarters, the atrium ... most of...

Let me know what you think about it ... it's on my short list of things to buy

If 5e is a 6, than I'm a 4 or 5. When 5e launched, it was the sweet spot for system complexity, now it's close to the upper limit. Daggerheart is my new sweet spot.

I'd imagine most of the cartoons from that era have aged poorly.

I do want more of Kyle, the blond War College guy that was charmed by Jay-den, and . E3 was interesting, I'm still on board for more.

Daggerheart: Added player. Flashback. Marketplace shenanigans.

Yes, these are all feasible, but it still makes all these powers look clunkier and wordier. To compare it to MTG, the other card based game I love to play, it's the difference between having cards say "enters" over "enters the battlefield" or "Mill 2 cards" over "Put 2 cards from your library...

Probably just to keep the list as short as possible so that players and DMs aren't forced to remember them. Daggerheart in general seems to have made the conscious choice to take a simpler route when available. It occasionally annoys me ... the fact that they don't specify which weapons are...

Had my first session of Daggerheart for this year as we restarted the campaign after the holiday hiatus. Ended up using a few tier 2 adversaries from the book as a quick combat encounter (Alarune Queen, a couple of Young Alarune and a Lindwyrm). They worked well, a lucky roll on the spawn minion...
