    Blue eye samurai

    Excellent show, I enjoyed everything from start to finish. I don't get the Mary Sue comments. The protagonist is a flawed individual and we see her fail on more than one occasion, so I don't see how that could apply. Anyway, not looking for a debate, just wanted to say I really liked the show...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    I told them. They wouldn't believe me, but I told them... "D&D: Cocaine Dragon" If only they'd listened you'd all be having a completely different conversation.

    RE: the negroni, has it taken a while because you've been working your way through other cocktails first? Or are the ingredients, presumably aside from gin, not easy to come by where you are? It's a simple enough drink. Definitely not for everyone. A friend of mine got into cocktails a bit...

    How to Drink is my go-to for YouTube cocktails, followed by Anders Erikson and a channel called The Educated Barfly. All quite good. Gin is my spirit of choice. I quite like a Bees Knees, a Last Word, and there's never anything wrong with a simple G&T. An Earl Grey Martini is extremely tasty...

    James Hoffman, but yes, his videos are excellent. I've also watched a lot of videos by a gentleman named Lance Hedrick. Lance's videos are very different from Hoffman's, but extremely informative. Once you start watching people like these, the tumble down the rabbit hole accelerates...

    Non-gaming hobbies

    Aeropress is great as an immersion brew. That is the fun part of coffee, there's several different ways to do it, and even within the same brew methods there are different techniques people can use to end up with the cup they like. That all doesn't even bring the beans into it. Where did they...

    Diablo IV

    So I've liked every installment of the series to date, and I've got friends I game with regularly I know will be getting this because they like the series even more than I do. I suspect it'll be good... I just don't know if I can bring myself to give Activision/Blizzard any money. They're...

    Non-gaming hobbies

    Oh, there are significantly more expensive hobbies out there, but in context a lot of people may think hundreds or even thousands of dollars on coffee brewing is insanity. Still, you can sink a lot into it. Next year I plan on upgrading my espresso machine from my entry level machine to one...

    Coffee can be a dangerous rabbit hole to tumble down. I have several other friends who love their coffee but think I'm nuts. :p In terms of a low cost entry for a better everyday cup, I'd recommend pour over. The Hario V60 is a classic, well respected pour over dipper. You can pick them up in...

    Non-gaming hobbies

    It's been ages since I've responded to thread on here. They usually move at a lightning pace for me given how infrequently I get here, but now I can jump in on the ground floor for once. More or less anyway. I like to read, predominantly science fiction and fantasy, but I have a fair bit of...

    D&D 5E The Next D&D Book is JOURNEYS THROUGH THE RADIANT CITADEL

    Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he read this thread and had the good sense to jump into a ravine for at least the third time we know of rather than attempt to contribute meaningfully.

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    I finally had the time to finish the series and I very much enjoyed it. It absolutely finishes stronger than it starts. It was also very fun for me, as someone who was watching the stream from day one, to see how they fit the arc into such a compact series and I think they did well overall. In...

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    I've been watching CR from the start. Every episode, every campaign, all the one-shots, etc. I also backed this project because I thought it would be cool to see where they went with it. So far, I like what I see overall. The first episode is absolutely the weakest, but with the start of the...

    D&D General Live-Action D&D Shows/Podcasts: Love Them or Hate Them?

    I went with the third option as it's the closest to an accurate answer for me. I quite enjoy Critical Role, have since the beginning. In contrast, when I've tried watching other live shows they simply haven't clicked in the same way. That's not to say I won't one day find another live-play show...

    D&D 5E Find the Path. What? Why is this a 6th level spell?

    While the spell is more niche than it may have been in the past, it's not nearly as bad as some are making it out to be. My best friend lives about 44 miles from my house. It takes me just under an hour to get there. I know how to get there without using my GPS (find the path) because I've been...
