    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    The more I think about Millie Gibson's perfromances this season, the more impressed I am. Gatwa's performance is sort of blatantly great, but hers is more low-key great? And I like the way she's written.

    The Fellowship of the Ring

    I watched the first 2 eps of WoT and did not take to it - how would you compare the first and second seasons?

    (The angle you're seeing in these stairs is not a visual trick caused by lens distortion! They are designed that way. You will trip on them.)

    The Fellowship of the Ring

    This is definitely a top contender. I just skimmed some "best films of the 21st century thus far" lists, and I realized 2 things: 1. I watch a decent amount of art-house and foreign films, but I need to watch more. We have a high-end art-house theater here, so I have no excuse. 2. Most of those...

    D&D 5E (2024) What happened to proficiency bonus times per day?

    As much as I like multiclassing and want it to be easier and more rewarding to do, I can't disagree with this.

    The Fellowship of the Ring

    Of the three LOTR movies, it does the best job of adapting its LOTR book. Especially considering its trying to squeeze it into a 3-hour movie and be a blockbuster at the same time. And yes, it's fricking phenomenal. That any of those movies works at all is a minor miracle, considering the...

    Tarantino Movies, Ranked!

    Jackie Brown That's all. Love this movie. Not a fan otherwise. Oviously his stuff is well-wriiten and well-directed, and his casts are impeccable, but overall his approach feels incredibly indulgent to me. I don't love his work, and don't hate it - I've just learned his stuff's not for me.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Players Handbook reveal: "New Crafting Rules"

    Same. I hope there's a chonky, expanded list of tools and kits, too. Literally every couple of months I think "[X's] kit/tools should be a thing!"

    I've been hearing that a lot, that younger viewers loved that episode and this season in general.

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    I won't play games where my character has thralls or has to feed on humans - or any other animal, for that matter. It just weirds me out. Or at least I won't play them and take them seriously. I ran what was basically Count Floyd in a VtM game once, and it was not appreciated for the high art...

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    Yes, it gets better, but the season has been criticized for lacking narrative logic, even more than when RTD was the showrunner the first time. So, some things will make similar not-sense* as "Space Babies". But the character stuff and dramatic moments continue to be spot-on. * This was not...

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    If a fantasy ttrpg I'm playing has guns as an option, my character will not use them. I have no problem if one character has guns, but if it becomes more common than that I'm going to lose interest. It just doesn't feel like traditional, pseudo-medieval fantasy to me if there's guns.

    D&D 5E (2024) New DM Screen Revealed By NZ Retailer

    There's no way for me to decide if I want any given GM's screen until I see what the entire contents are, and they're usually packaged so that you can't see that. So, there's no way I'll buy one until I can see someone else's. :(

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    I don't think I've ever played a wizard, in all my decades of playing fantasy games. But one player in our group plays almost exclusively wizards (occasionally sorcerors or warlocks), and does it extremely well - meaning they're very clever about spell-use and know the system and the spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ways to turn 5e into a Story Now game (+)

    I've toyed with the idea of giving traits, etc some mechanical weight. Stealing a bit form Cortex: Assign 1d6, 1d6, and 1d8 to the following: Personality, Ideal, Bond Assign 1d4 to your Flaw This assumes you have only one of each trait. Regardless, you would add that die to a d20 roll when...
