    D&D General Limiting Utility Cantrips

    which is why I think all spells should require a roll of some kind, including cantrips. An archer has to roll for attack so a Sorcerer should too, even if that attack is a poison spray cantrip instead of a poison arrow spells that require a spell attack roll a good - but must of those shouldn't...

    D&D General Doing Tragedy in D&D

    As a FATE fan I also wanted 5e Inspiration to work more like FATE points rewording the Personality Traits to be more like Aspects. Such Aspects can be use to help in Tragedy play eg some Aspects for Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) - Brooding, Vengeful Romantic Ideal - "What is mine is mine...

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    We had Grylls visit my hometown where he apparently parachutes in for a mountain survival episode. Except he didnt, the Parachute was staged, my cousin was his local guide and every night the helicopter (which landed in the back paddock of our farm) picked him up off the mountain so he could go...

    D&D 5E (2024) Non-Human Party - Campaign help!

    I had this very scenario where the wealthy Baron of the neighbouring town decided to drain the local swamp in the name of Industry, causing the waters to recede. This caused some creatures to attack farms (lthe first sign was stirges attacking cattle). The Baron has also hired mercenaries to...

    Avengers: Doomsday | Now in Production cast reveal

    It would be a fun angle if Doom comes across as a heroic saviour in Doomsday, despite Reed warning everyone not to trust him and the Avengers unsure - because he looks like Tony! Do the whole first movie with Doom as hero of Latveria and leader of the worlds heroes - Doom has his Day! Then...

    Avengers: Doomsday | Now in Production cast reveal

    Seeing that F4 are in a different universe to mainstream Avengers it could well be that the Doom is also from the F4 Universe and 'escapes' with them after their Galactus encounter, crashes through the X-Men universe then shifts on the Mainstream Earth for the final encounter bringing all three...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    I actually liked Episode 5 more than 6 and thought it was a great bridging episode between Matt rejecting the mask and all the violence and bad decisions that vigilantism involves, to seeing that innocent/good people still need help that he can provide, to finally putting a mask back on to...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    The Swordsman Jacques "Jack" Duquesne first appeared in Hawkeye, he was the fiancé of Kate Bishops mother. He also uses a sabre in Hawkeye (are you sure the one in DD was an epee?) El Aguila had a cameo in She-Hulk, but as he's a mutant I doubt he's going to get any more until the X-Men...

    D&D General Do you transfer characters between campaigns?

    I played Orbril the gnome (Alchemist and Master of the Grand Circus Maximus) over a few campaigns across maybe 4 or 5 different rules systems starting as a young gnomling leaving the burrow, through his apprenticeship as a young alchemist, his adventuring career, writing Treatises of Geology...
