    Thoughts on the rebooted He-Man (Netflix)

    Here's the thing... She-Ra also aims at the nostalgia audience but is also really good at being a kid's show. It's one of my favorites and a fave of my 6 year-old. Which then begs the question as to why not aim for a TV-7 audience instead of a TV-12 audience? If you took out the body horror...

    Thoughts on the rebooted He-Man (Netflix)

    They certainly didn't skimp on getting top-shelf actors. In addition to Hamill, there's Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn; Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela; Stephen Root as Cringer; Diedrich Bader as King Randor and Trap Jaw; Alicia Silverstone as Queen Marlena; Justin Long as Roboto; Jason Mewes as...

    Thoughts on the rebooted He-Man (Netflix)

    The He-Man reboot has just dropped on Netflix. I'd like to NOT have this devolve into a discussion of the societal aspects of the reboot and instead on the show's merits on its own. That said, 2 episodes in and there is a definite problem. Who is this show for? Because it's sure not for small...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Annotated PHB

    Meh. Law books are literally called "Annotated" and contain entire sections devoted to legislative intent and summaries of key decisions interpreting the statutes. Of course, those books take up entire book cases. Of course of course, I already have entire book cases of RPG rule books. Of...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Annotated PHB

    The Annotated PHB already exists. It's called "Put sticky notes all through your core books." I got mine for free because I liberate sticky notes from my office.

    D&D General RA Salvatore Wants To Correct Drizzt’s Racist Tropes

    My children are all wonderful and I'm not just saying that because they are literate, able to pull up my browser history and comment logs, and quick to rat me out. They are little delights.

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    So only 5e lore is canon. This means that you buried the lede. Jeremy Crawford Declares Self To Be "The One Who Remains"

    What podcasts do you listen to (and why?)

    Behind The Bastards: An irreverent look at the worst people in history. Not just the obligatory Hitlers, Stalins, and Husseins. Also lesser known bastards like King Leopold, as well as folk who have led to some rather nasty fixtures in modern society (like Phyllis Schafly, Savitri Devi, and...

    D&D General D&D monsters that have been changed the most over time

    Etymologically speaking, orcs have nothing to do with pigs. At all. The word is not of Celtic origin. It's derived from Latin - orcus - a demon lord of the underworld not unlike Pluto, as well as a term for Hell itself. It also led to the Italian word orco which means "ogre" or a man-eating...

    D&D 5E (2014) The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    D&D 5E (2014) The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    Depends on the campaign. My party just finished a campaign by killing a dragon. And now they're going to be fighting tons of dragons. Which is fine because, somehow, they all managed to make dragon-adjacent characters. Ultimately, we're all a happy crew. Because dragons.

    D&D 5E (2014) The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    And, if you see five dragon heads but only one dragon body, you have nothing to worry about. This is because you are looking at Tiamat and are already in the Nine Hells. It's not a bad time to be alive because YOU ARE DEAD.

    Does anyone actually like dungeons?

    D&D 5E (2014) The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    Sure. If you're a Level 8 party. If you're a Level 15 party, they're called "Oh... more dragons. Great. Well this should be mildly diverting."
