    Spoilers True detective season 4 spoiler

    Overall I enjoyed it. But it absolutely hyped up more supernatural elements without any satisfying explanation in the finale. What I was hoping for was a reference to Sedna: Sedna (mythology) - Wikipedia and I see I'm not the only one to make that connection: Breaking Down True Detective...

    Spoilers True detective season 4 spoiler

    Yes. We didn't get a name for "her," an explanation for "her," a Lovecraftian-tie for "her" or the spiral or anything else (other than it's a snake fossil I guess). I have some vague theories, and a lot of folks are twisting themselves in knots to tie it to Hastur but I don't think so.

    Worlds of Design: The Art of Improv

    I plan everything out, round by round, in D&D... And then my players go investigate a different door, talk to a different NPC I didn't have prepared, leave the area completely, start arguing with people who would give them quests, and I just end up improving anyway. But it does make me feel...

    RPG Evolution: My Gaming Goals for 2024

    I really, really hope this is the case. I'd love for this to be a blip for small publishers. But it will be clear soon enough, and here's the indicators I look for: Does DriveThruRPG change or create a category to identify the system separate from the existing 5E? Do small publishers feel the...

    RPG Evolution: My Gaming Goals for 2024

    Paint minis has been on my list for years but I removed it after a while because I never made any progress. It's a combination of space, time, lighting, and vision (mine keeps getting worse) that are prohibiting me so I finally gave up on making it a goal. Your minis look gorgeous, well done!
