    Twitter is a poor place

    As a creative person, you need to learn not to take any stock in social media engagements. Because if you start to do that, then it will worm its way into your self-worth you'll get caught in a anxiety/depression spiral. This is not true just of Twitter, but tumblr, instagarm, facebook, whathave...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    The best thing about the Cage was Number One's visible eyeroll when Pike had his "I don't want girls on my bridge" tantrum.

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    If new Chapel was jarring compared to when viewing the old show because they don't add up, then captain Pike will be be an even bigger issue considering how terribly sexist he was in the Cage. I really loved that they updated and made a prequel based today's conventions and values rather than...

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    I love these, but I can't see WotC going for this style due to it being too cartoony. Sadly. It firts more in some of the Magic sets than the DnD 5e style. (Wildemount got away with it due to not being a real WotC in charge book.) This style of his could but then it's a real painting and would...

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    Considering the lawsuit, the phrasing in that which can at best be described as them awkwardly accusing WoTC for "virtue signalling" while at the same time saying all others who've worked on Dragonlance doesn't really matter, and the 60 pages of sensitivity revision in the first new DL book —...

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    There is a video segment from Wizards twitch (now probably somewhere on their youtube) where they talk about the tieflings and get asked about the streamlining, Chris Perkins looks into the camera and say "Marketing. We can't trademark the 'look like whatever' tieflings of old."

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    It sounds like you have more recent information than me so I stand corrected! And that's good to hear. (But I don't think WotC could afford having him do a whole book, the man knows what he's worth and how much work it is.) Agreed. I think it's all due to "unified look" marketing, the same way...

    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    While I do love DiTerlizzi's art, this is quite a misrepresentation. He's the one that doesn't want to go back and do a lot of Plnaescape art* and the reason for accepting to draw a DnD Magic Card was that it was a one-off. (But I do agree there should be a lot more difference in style between...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE is coming this year!

    I never read the Dragonlance books until recently and that was a hard bounce, they do not work when you're in your 40s at all. So this will of course colour my opinions below. But the same year as the Dragons of Autumn Twilight was published we also had Moonheart by Charles De lint, Yendi by...

    WotC WotC to power other IPs with D&D and M:TG

    Sanderson is really picky and precise about his magical systems though, and neither seems like a good DnD fit at all.

    What do you think about Powered by the Apocalypse games?

    Longer play depends on the implementation as always. Noir World is geared towards oneshots and being GMless, whereas I've found that both Legacy: Life Among the Ruins and City of Mist are amazing in long term. In fact, a two-year Legacy camapign is at the top of the campaigns I've played in. XP...

    D&D 5E Toward a new D&D aesthetics

    It's marketing. In one of Wizard's lore videos, Perkins admits that the tiefling homogenisation is due to marketing because something that looks like anything can't be trademarked. (But really, Wizards of the Coasts have never really gotten tieflings and has always been "they need to be more...

    The 25 Best Sci-Fi Movies of the Last 15 Years

    They're using a version of best that don't really care about box office revenue, and it's one I 100% agree with. Avatar does not belong to a list of best movies.

    D&D 5E Doctors & Daleks - Cubicle 7 Brings Doctor Who to D&D 5E

    The Gamemaster Companion for the Vortex game would be usable even there I think. It talsk a lot more about how to run the game as a Doctor Who episode and not so much rules.

    The 25 Best Sci-Fi Movies of the Last 15 Years

    All the Nolan movies are way to high up, but I'd remove Interstellar ("Inte Stellar" where 'inte' is the swedish word for 'not') and Guardians of the Galaxy and replace with The Mitchells vs the Machines and Dredd. Well, you know what? Remove Inception as well and replace with Another Earth.
