When the package arrived from Amazon yesterday I thought "why did they pack it in such a big box?!" because I was expecting something maybe half the size of what it ended up being. When I opened up the Amazon box and saw the actual size of the coffin inside I was duly impressed.

Yeah, I ordered this from Amazon on Friday after reading this review and it arrived yesterday... and wow. Damn, this thing is huge. The coffin box is bigger than my 17 inch laptop. You open up the coffin and the first thing you see is Strahd lying in the coffin, printed on a big sheet of thin...

Oh, I remember the beginning times. :)

I see it as more of a Celestial being, personally.

[Addendum] Hmmm... after reading the description of this creature, and seeing statues of it after looking it up on Wikipedia, really reminds me of the Ki-Rin; I'm thinking they are mythologically related, perhaps? Like how all of those old Middle Eastern animal-hybrid celestial creatures, such...

Wow, very cool; a creature I have actually never even heard of before at all! That is extremely rare and I thank you for it!

I would absolutely adore a good Dune RPG.

If you like the setting and history of BattleTech but the tabletop game isn't quite your cup of tea, then I highly, highly, highly recommend the BattleTech videogame from 2018! It is absolutely excellent; set in 3025, you play a mercenary company (well... a merc lance, actually, not a full...

If the Krampus is CR 9 then that means Brock Samson must be CR 10 at the least.

Oh, BattleTech has been undergoing a resurgence over the past few years. Catalyst Game Labs have been doing some good stuff, recovering the setting the best they can after FASA crapped the bed and sold it off to Topps, of all companies, and the awful Dark Ages/ClickyTech of the Wizkids era...

Ugh. Look at what Microsoft did with BattleTech shudder

Good gawd I hope not. D&D would be quickly dissasembled and sold off for parts (Forgotten Realms to one bidder, Greyhawk to another, Dragonlance to another, etc.) and the game itself left to rot, like a poacher who shoots an endangered animal just to cut off its tusks/claws/head and leave the...

I think it is totally fine, especially with a spear, but with a staff as well. You can strike with the point, and then smack them with the haft. In real life every surface of a weapon was used in combat, not just the striking surface. Look up images from some of the fechtbuks to see how...

I've just used one of those fold out trays before. Or two placed beside each other. :)

No one keeps notes and maps behind the screen to keep them away from player's eyes anymore? I mean, under normal, non-current circumstances. Every player in our group would fear blue bolts from the Heavens and/or ethereal mummies as a consequence of looking behind the DM's Screen! ;)

I still read through my Tenchi Muyo! book for BESM quite a bit. I picked it up back in 2000 when it first came out, right after Toonami started airing the show and I fell in love with it. Then I went out and bought the DVD set of the first two OVAs. It's a damn shame what they've done with...

Tasha's Caustic Brew should really have been called Tasha's Caustic Spew. The material component is a piece of rotten meat, which I assume the caster eats and then vomits up a stream of acidic gastric bile onto her enemies. :) And I loved the painting of Iggwilv and Graz'zt gazing adoringly at...

My brother has an HBO Go(?) account that he let me use to watch it. Yeah I've had several friends tell me that Colour is good, and I need to watch it. I am the goto Lovecraft guy in our groyp, the one who runs Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green and always injects some Lovecraftian themes into the...

I really, really wanted to like it. I got 5 episodes in before I just lost interest. For one thing, there didn't seem to be anything actually Lovecraftian about it, just generic horror themes. I was looking for vast cosmic horror and I'm afraid I just didn't feel any. Apalling human horror...

I think Neanderthal could work. I'm not aware of any great Neanderthal presence in the world anymore to be take offense, nor of the specific political affiliations of most Neanderthals. :)
