    Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

    Your theory fails for a very important reason. We live, according to Grant Morrison, on Earth 33. On Earth 33, KB was bought by Bain Capital. The MCU takes place on Earth 199999. But Bain Capital would never be a front for a major big bad on Earth 199999. That's because Earth 199999 exists...

    Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

    And that's another thing... A functional subway. In New York City?! Absolutely NOT! That's as bad as the bus scene in Shang Chi - like that bus was able to drive like that without some Google employee shuttle bus illegally using the bus lane!

    Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

    So in that universe, KB Toys somehow managed to shift to e-commerce and survive an ill-planned IPO that wound up with the company getting purchased by venture capital. Yeah... I'm not seeing it. I can buy the Snap and the Blip and Skrulls and megadoses of gamma radiation turning people into...

    Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

    See... that's a fantastic idea. A show about a superhero/attorney who fights villainy and litigates actions to quiet title.

    Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

    I'm out! My suspension of disbelief has been utterly and irreparably destroyed! I'm sorry but there is no way that the Tracksuit Mafia has a hideout in an old KB Toys store in Brooklyn. KB Toys went out of business in 2009. I can guarantee you that any space that large in Brooklyn that was...

    D&D General What are you prepping for your next D&D session? (+)

    I'm not prepping squat. Because my players are on a ship going from Neverwinter to Leilon. And something dark and chaotic dwells in the depths and is coming. So every hour on the hour, a new encounter happens. Not necessarily combat. Depends on how they want to play it. I've got a whole...

    D&D General What does "magic" mean? [Read carefully, you can't change your vote]

    UA be damned. The 2e grognard in me says that psionics aren't magic. So I gotta go with #1.

    Your Pizza Order

    A hot dog is a sandwich. A sandwich is food bounded on at least one side by bread or a bread analog. The "hinged bread" argument fails because, if I take a sausage, place it in a long roll, and top it with a tomato based sauce and onions, I have a sandwich. This may be either an Italian...

    Your Pizza Order

    That's actually friggin' delicious. Few things in life compare to a slice of fresh apple pie topped with a slice of melted sharp cheddar cheese, with a cup of hot black coffee.

    Your Pizza Order

    In fact, in the NYC metro area, when getting pizzas, it's common to ask "how many pies should we get?"

    D&D 5E (2014) Hasbro’s Dungeons & Dragons TV and Movie Strategy

    I could see a betting line in Vegas as to when the inevitable table flip happens.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hasbro’s Dungeons & Dragons TV and Movie Strategy

    Good writing requires money and talent. If CBS has taught us anything, it's that that train left the station years ago.

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons immersive fantasy restaurant, amusement experience proposed for Lake Geneva

    I feel like a D&D themed restaurant should address the mechanics as well. Like when you show up, roll a d20. Nat20 and you get the best seat in the house. Roll a 1 and they sit you by the bathroom. The menu can just be a series of random tables to roll on.

    Games Workshop notes that space fascism would be bad

    If any fascist Warhammer players are offended, they are free to participate in free-market capitalism and buy a copy of Myfarog.

    D&D General Which is the best die?

    Dayenu is the best die. Dayenu is Hebrew for "it would have been enough." As in "If He had taken us out of Egypt and not made judgments on the Egyptians; [it would have been] enough for us. If He had made judgments on them and had not made [them] on their gods; [it would have been] enough for...

    Roll20 Has A New Mobile App

    Correction - It's basically for D&D players. It offers no DM functionality that I could find.

    D&D 5E (2014) Content Warning Labels? Yeah or Nay?

    Put a content warning on at the beginning. The worst case scenario is someone tries to make a stink, saying "why'd you put a content warning on there?! I didn't find it all that disturbing." To which the response is "I'm glad you didn't need the content warning. Others may have. Thank you for...

    Pathfinder Guns & Gears: An In-Depth Review

    I've actually got no problem with this. In fact, I think it's a hook that serves a necessary purpose to differentiate it from D&D. Otherwise, PF is just D&D with extra math.
