    WotC WotC Makes Over $1B In 2021!

    Non-functioning typewriters are more useful and valuable than non-fungible tokens. A typewriter may not work but it still may be good for parts. The legal profession does still, in fact, use typewriters in part. For example, writs of execution for California sheriffs are still on carbon paper...

    WotC WotC Makes Over $1B In 2021!

    I don't think that anyone can reasonably disagree with that assessment. Being the 800 lb. gorilla is, in actuality, a value-neutral assessment of the marketplace. The gorilla is simply the dominant player in the space who must be reckoned with in order to compete. Microsoft is the 800 lb...

    WotC WotC Makes Over $1B In 2021!

    No. Convincing other people that your pieces of artificially scarce cardboard has a good ROI. Merely owning said cardboard, however, is only slightly more fiscally prudent than purchasing NFTs.

    Hey guys... Maybe try stealth. Or Session ran long, felt short.

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Disappointment and constant warning against what Luke is trying to do. Ahsoka left the Order, betrayed and disillusioned. Moreover, the Jedi's failures led to the rise of the Empire and her friend and mentor turning to evil. The last thing she'd want is for Luke to restart the Order. Maybe...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    My daily disappointment, courtesy of BD-1's cameo: 1) Jedi: Fallen Order is a truly enjoyable game with a pretty good story and memorable characters, including Cal Kestis. 2) Cal Kestis is about 17 or 18 years old in JFO, which takes place in 14BBY. 3) BoBF takes place in 9ABY. 4) If BD-1...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    I've said it before.... Have E1 be Boba coming out of the Sarlacc and his time with the Tuskens. Close the episode with him in full Boba of Arabia mode riding a Bantha. As a unified episode, that story works. It ups the stakes, building to the train, and introduces the Pykes as THE Big Bad...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Remember in Star Wars when Threepio says, "I suggest a different strategy: Let the Wookiee win." I suggest a different stategy for the show: Let Dave Filoni do every episode. Thoughts: I want a Cobb Vanth show. Cad Bane is terrifying. The Vanth/Bane showdown is up there with "The Duel" from...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    If anyone is the Taliban in Star Wars, it's the Jedi. Star Wars: A movie about a religious zealot and guerilla leader living in a hideout in a mountainous desert who indoctrinates a dissatisfied youth and leads him to use fly his plane into a government structure to strike out against an...

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rule: Weapons Do Something On a Miss

    The martial character is still helping out their team BY BEING ENGAGED IN MELEE COMBAT. If the martial character isn't there, the monster will still attack someone who is potentially more vulnerable to that monster's attack.

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rule: Weapons Do Something On a Miss

    No. They really don't. Stone tile is AC 15 and has 30 hp per inch of thickness. So, no, the warhammer doesn't turn a 5' square of stone flooring to rubble when it hits the ground after missing the monster. Maybe it does 1HP of damage to the tile. "Your hammer swings wide, the head catching...

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rule: Weapons Do Something On a Miss

    Nope nope nope. Missing is just missing. Blows glance off of armor. Enemies dodge. Blades sometimes swing wide. There shouldn't be a reward for not hitting, just like there shouldn't be a penalty for missing or botching. Also, those examples, honestly, make little sense. A warhammer doesn't...

    Let me give you a real-world example of something like this... There are 39 activities that are not permitted on Shabbos. All have loopholes. For example "sorting" is prohibited. Now, let's say there is a bowl of mixed peanuts and raisins. You want the peanuts but not the raisins. Removing...

    D&D nostalgia, Greatest music year this century

    The 80s formed my pop sensibilities. Which in turn, formed my personality. My music came from the radio (Q107, which, when name-checked in St. Elmo's Fire, was THE Top-40 station to listen to in DC and now is a Christian radio syndicate) or, as the 80s wore on, from MTV. If I wasn't in the...
