    D&D 5E (2014) A Peek At Witchlight's WARDUKE!

    Danny Downer here. Not to be a naysayer but there's a line between "outfit designed to strike fear in the enemy" and "trying too hard." And this is a skosh over that line. Like, I get that he's big and powerful but does he need a miniature fanny pack version of the horned skull from his...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Is that from the thread where Silver chastised a virologist for stealing his Twitter take when, in fact, the virologist was responding to another virologist about that virologists medical research?

    D&D 5E (2014) What size category is a locomotive?

    I've watched Dumbo. In it, the elephants are transported in train cars. The train is bigger than an elephant.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spear houserule

    RAW, they are also Heavy, 2H, and Martial. If you add Reach to a Spear and change nothing else, as the OP suggests, you now have a weapon that is Light, 1H, Simple, and Reach. Which means that, except for druids and wizards, everyone could have a reach weapon. If you look at what weapons...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spear houserule

    Rewatching, at least to my eyes, just illustrates my point. Can you point to any particular point where the spear, even in the hands of epic-level fighters, reach through the adjoining 5' spot and into the 5' spot beyond it? The spear, as used in an infantry scenario is held about 2/5 up the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spear houserule

    Hard disagree. When you do that, you unbalance it. Reach is 10'. When you pair it with Polearm Master and/or Sentinel WHICH IS INEVITABLE, you wind up with a character who can't be touched. Remember, PAM uses the weapon's reach. And for the first two benefits, so does Sentinel. So if you add...

    Snarf's Magnificent Seven: Greatest Action Heroes

    "Blondie" (Clint Eastwood) Franchise: The Man With No Name Trilogy Best Movie: All of them Worst Movie: None Reason: Because Sergio Leone defined a genre. Because an Italian western that adapted a Japanese samurai movie is arguably the genre's high point. Because of Ennio Goddamn Morricone's...

    They were one of the original Kenner action figures. In fact, they were in the initial batch of 12 released in 1977. They were marketing.

    New Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer

    Everyone was surprised by its success. Guiness called it a stupid and childish fairy tale (which it ultimately is - farmboy saves princess from the clutches of an evil warlord with the help of a wizard and a pirate). The stupidest thing ever uttered by a movie executive was "Sure Mr. Lucas...

    New Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer

    Thank you for literally articulating Ivan Reitman's own reason for Ghostbusters (2016); REITMAN: Well, I’d like to go forward and make new things. I think Ghostbusters probably should be remade, if we can get it all right. We’re working on it, so we’ll see. Source: Ivan Reitman and Lauren...

    New Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer

    To be fair, the "remake" of Psycho (I assume you're speaking of the Gus Van Sant remake) was rightly panned as a shot-for-shot reshooting of the original with different actors, using identical direction and beats, with the main difference being that it was in color. In fact, Van Sant later said...

    New Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer

    While Feig's Ghostbusters wasn't nearly on par with the original, it most certainly holds its own against Ghostbusters II, which, if we're being honest, was fairly mediocre. In fact, I'd say that Chris Hemsworth's interview scene was funnier than any single part of GB2 and cemented his status as...
