    WotC “Atomic Arcade”— WotC’s New Digital Platform?

    The 27 year gaps between the various parts of this ad campaign leads me to think that Pennywise has been hired to run the marketing department.

    WotC “Atomic Arcade”— WotC’s New Digital Platform?

    So they combined a term that had its heyday 70 years ago with a term that had its heyday 35 years ago. BRILLIANT!

    D&D 5E (2014) On the Necessity for More Bard Threads

    You probably don't want to get involved with John Denver and trees given his unhappy history.

    Fantasy Races vs Sci Fi Species. Different or not?

    In fact, the Halves- prove, if anything, that racism really doesn't belong in D&D, as it goes to show that humans will hook up with anyone, regardless of background.

    Insert "Clarke's Third Law" here.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha's and optimization

    Red Bull might give you wings but wings give you problems. 1) Aaracokra can't fly in medium or heavy armor. 2) If the armor isn't designed to accommodate wings, then the PC either can't wear the armor (won't fit over the wings) or the wings can't manifest. 3) AoO apply in all 3 axes. If the PC...

    Double dipping art

    Does the artist get paid twice for it? If so, I'm especially in favor of it.

    Morbius - Official Trailer 2 (2022)

    Technically..... It is Batman. In fact, technically, it's a Batman "Infinite Earths" cross-over. Morbius can turn into a bat, making him a bat-man and Michael Keaton was, is, and will be Batman once again. So it's a bat-man who meets Batman. Even if Keeton is also Birdman and the Vulture.

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo drops use of the word phylactery

    I haven't seen them play in over a quarter century. IIRC, I saw them either at Bowery Ballroom or Roseland. Back in the 90's, when music was good and not all this Tik-Tok algorithm stuff with the Cardi B and the Kanye and the Eddie Sheerin. GET OFFA MY LAWN, YA LOUSY KIDS!

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo drops use of the word phylactery

    Personally, as a Jew, I'm not. It's not at the same level as, say, stat-ting up Moses as a wizard or something. While it's a good gesture, I feel like it should be taken in context with the allegations from September of a hostile workplace and sexual harassment (which, again, are allegations...

    Good for him. I wish him well in all of his endeavors.

    On behalf of Dave Pirner, have you considered "Soul Asylum"?

    Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett - Official Trailer (2021)

    I "intend" to rule with respect, but intentions oft go astray.

    D&D General AD&D PHB Devil dice tower!

    Yes. The idol is actually a pretty chill dude. He's into macrame, spends afternoons (weather permitting) hanging out near the dog park, and, if we're being honest, is a little TOO into hackeysack and ultimate frisbee. You know... not all idols dedicated to infernal beings are evil oppressors...

    What currency do you use to purchase D&D content? And there is no option for gold pieces.

    D&D 5E (2014) Less killing

    Feinting is a well-known tactic from military history. The Magyars and Hunns used it extensively, as did the Seljuk Turks. WIlliam the Conqueror used multiple feints at Hastings, as did Genghis Khan in his conquest of Samarkand. Perhaps there is a more war-gamey system than 5e that could either...

    D&D 5E (2014) Less killing

    I tend to award more HP for resolving an encounter without killing. Smashy-smashy and stabby-stabby require less creativity than RP.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think of Fizban's races, subclasses feats and spells?

    I've got a player right now who's playing a Monk of the Ascendant Dragon (since the UA) and is enjoying it. His "problem" with it is the same problem with a lot of 5e subclasses: so many feats and powers that suboptimal play happens through forgetting just how much the character can do. On...
