    Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

    But, until this show, did she? Because her message in SW makes it seem like she doesn't know Obi-Wan. She calls him "General Kenobi" and says that he served her father during the Clone Wars. She doesn't say, "also, you rescued me that time when I was 10," and she doesn't call him Ben.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

    Spend a decade living out past the Dune Sea, wondering if Vader is going to come back to finish the job.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

    I was surprised that they didn't run into any Gorn.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

    I love how Obi Wan Kenobi is always prepared for any situation, no matter what happens or who shows up. For example, when Darth Vader appears, Kenobi is already very wisely wearing his brown pants. Because... yeah.

    Seth Green gets scammed out of his NFT and it tanks his new show.

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

    The acting doesn't even begin to hold a candle to Sir Laurence Olivier in Wuthering Heights, the dialogue lacks the bite and intensity of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and the camera work is something that Gordon Parks would be ashamed of. However, those are all highly unfair comparisons. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Will Delist Two Books On May 17th

    You're being paranoid. If there's one thing I know about computers its that online databases never ever go down for any reason and are as certain as death and taxes.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Will Delist Two Books On May 17th

    Any word on whether they'll be sending their goons around to confiscate existing physical books?

    D&D General I am so done with kickstarter

    That's not to say that he's the rule. He may be an exception. Knowing that Kickstarter is a way to crowdfund unrealized projects and not a place to buy finished products, I have backed precisely 5 kickstarters. The best was Other Magic a 5e expansion to include magic based on civilizations...

    D&D General I am so done with kickstarter

    That's because with the traditional publishing model, it was, "I will give you money for a finished product." With crowdfunding, it's "I will give you money to finish a product." Kickstarter is for people who, for whatever reason, have not capitalized their project. Maybe they couldn't secure...

    Games with "terrible" follow-up editions

    While I'm somewhat curious about current WoD, my feeling is that it won't be able to compare to the original and revised editions. Not because of any mechanical flaws but, rather, because my experience with it is so tightly bound up with college in the early 90s. My fondness for it is, in no...

    D&D General Monster Manual vs Volo's vs Multiverse

    The only "problem" with the Monster Manual Expanded series is that you only get the books and not an extra shelf as well to hold all of the incredible amount of content.

    The Batman (spoilers)

    Maybe I watch too many CinemaSins videos but the "real lasers" in Dune - in the Duncan Idaho fight scene especially - made me say "15,000 years in the future and they're still using knives and pointy sticks to fight instead of the lasers that they can use to cut through steel and concrete...

    The Batman (spoilers)

    You, sir, speak heresy. Everyone knows that Eartha Kitt is the greatest Catwoman that ever was and ever will be.

    The Batman (spoilers)

    Lol... my bad. I have no idea why I had thought that. Maybe I hallucinated that Russell Crowe was going to be in it.

    The Batman (spoilers)

    Batman never really succeeds anyway. Villain kills someone, Batman tracks down villain and beats him up. Villain winds up back in Arkham and inevitably escapes, killing again. He saves a couple of lives along the way but the bad guy always goes on to kill again. That said, Batman standing on...

    The Batman (spoilers)

    I really enjoyed it. It focused on the detective side of Batman. Less punching (relatively speaking) and more solving. I loved that it was willing to slaughter some sacred cows of the mythos, such as Saint Thomas, best embodied in Batman Begins. The Batman's Thomas Wayne is definitely more...

    D&D 5E (2014) NEED ADVICE: Goblin Invasion Long One-Shot/Short Campaign

    With the 5e conversion of Abomination Vaults, I got to thinking... What about a one shot that's the standard level 1 party goes after some goblins but... the goblin village was already raided. By other goblins. Specifically, by PF goblins. What are some flavor differences between 5e and...
