    Gen Con Is Going Ahead

    It becomes a game of chicken as to who's willing to risk the pandemic being held to be a force majeure.

    Gen Con Is Going Ahead

    Sometimes the wisest move is to admit defeat. Indiana is currently on "Team Virus," with a ban on vaccine passport requirements and mask mandates. Not coincidentally, the majority of Indianans are unvaccinated and it currently has the 17th highest infection rate of all US states. Quite...

    D&D 5E (2014) Temple of Elemental Evil is the next Original Adventures Reincarnated

    Take that up with WotC. The license they granted Goodman is print-only. No PDFs. That said, for the standard OARs, it would be a 300 page PDF. It's not like they're charging all that money for a 40 page booklet. The standard OARs are about $70. ToEE is $99. And what you get is a hardbound...

    Paizo Paizo Launches Community Content Program

    I think that the trick is to think of it as a hobby or a passion project. In which case, it's "found money." Otherwise, all you've done is turn something you enjoy into a low-paying job.

    What If...?

    I don't know about you, but I find a mad titan shooting perfectly balanced spitballs at me is fairly terrifying. And, Thanos shooting a Smith & Wesson is scary because, after he empties the magazine, he will throw the pistol in a perfectly balanced manner.

    What If...?

    Strategy is never the strong suit of anyone in the MCU Multiverse. You know what would have been scarier than Thanos and his giant double-sided blade? Thanos with any ranged weapon.

    Man... Tony Stark just can't catch a break anywhere other than Earth-199999.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie: Action Packed, Funny as Hell

    Oh he's got plenty of reason. I'm Fred, brother of Ted, and I'm here to avenge him.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie: Action Packed, Funny as Hell

    That said, assuming that there is some kind of McLaughlin Group scale of fantasy humor where Monty Python & The Holy Grail is a 10, The Princess Bride is a strong 9, Shrek a hard 8, and Army of Darkness is 7, and Your Highness is a weak 1, I would put The Unmentionable Marlon Wayans Movie That...

    Baskin-Robbins always finds out. In every universe.

    What If...?

    What if a redshirt coughs? The microbes that could potentially be introduced to alien planets is too terrifying to imagine.

    What If...?

    Given our own history of inadvertently destroying ecosystems via exploration, not to mention the "twist" ending of "The War of the Worlds," Away Missions run directly contrary to the Prime Directive.

    What If...?

    That's also the fatal flaw in every episode of Star Trek. Just because it's a Class M planet doesn't mean that there aren't harmful pathogens present.

    What If...?

    I got real tired real quick of Lang's quipping. I think it was tonally all over the place and not in a good way. Then again, with only a couple exceptions, I like my zombie apocalypse bleak and depressing. For me, the best ZA stories are 28 Days Later and "The Grove" episode of TWD.

    D&D 5E (2014) Temple of Elemental Evil is the next Original Adventures Reincarnated

    It would be nice. But, in the meantime, we live in an age of readily accessible scanners. I'm a Roll20 user and importing the maps and rigging up a DL layer is easy enough. The pain is inputting the monsters. I hate that part.

    D&D 5E (2014) Temple of Elemental Evil is the next Original Adventures Reincarnated

    $100. Which, for the quality of the product, is a good price. The only "problem" with them, like all OAR modules, is that you need to scan and print the maps and handouts. There are no PDFs available due to limits of Goodman Games' license from WOTC.

    Got mine today. It is a "thicc boi" in the parlance of the kids these days.

    YUSS! Just got the "Your order is now complete" email. ETA: Indeed, they are now shipping.

    Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Wizard City

    Adventure Time, the fantasy-themed tragically hip cartoon with strong Vancian undertones, is back once again with a 49 minute special that borrows somewhat from Harry Potter. This final installment focuses on Peppermint Butler as he has to prove that he's not a dark wizard like his ancestor...

    What do you eat for a typical breakfast?

    Coffee and a hard boiled egg. If there's leftover salmon from dinner the night before, that too.
