I haven't seen enough 2024 stuff to know - do we know if traits, bonds, ideals, and flaws are even a thing anymore?

I'm not crazy about this. Here's why: 1. As pointed out, this layout really glues skills to abilities. Players who aren't already used to changing things up in this regard are going to be much less likely to even think that's an option. Players who are used to changing things up might think of...

Masks: A New Generation is phenomenal. It's one of the 2 or 3 best supers games I've seen, and I've seen a lot. I say this with the caveat that it a specific sub-genre os supers, teen heroes. I'm super-duper looking forward to Kids in Capes.

I always liked how it reversed the too-easy real-world Europe+Africa+etc alignment/orientation.

Woo! More fighting styles! I like the sound of the Inspiration changes. The DMG is sounding really good.

Regarding the anagrams and wordplay, with The Doctor having let supernatural stuff back in the universe (or let it run more rampant) maybe words are powerful and the supernatural beings are bound to them. There's a load of precedent for that in mythology, fairy stories, etc.

"The Legend of Ruby Sunday" had too much of this: Character: "What is that? What's happening?" Othe Character: "I don't know." OR [wordless shocked or confused expression] Just over and over. That my harsh criticism. I really enjoyed most of it in the moment, but by the end the sparsity of...

Hmm - I think art direction can be consistent and varied at the same time, but that might be semantics at work. I expect the art in a product to be of consistent quality or professionalism, and to share one or more traits. Those traits could be stylistic, thematic, contemporaneousness (if the...

Indie Game Developer Network's site is one of my go-to places for gaming news.

Woo! There's a lot here to like! Erevan's Guide covers an aspect of play that doesn't get explored much. Outgunned Adventure is promising. The maps book was already on my radar, and is going to be hard to pass up. I'm always interested in Shadowdark content so thanks for bringing that 'zine to...

I think it was more that Rogue stepped into the field right as he pushed Ruby out, thereby satisfying the field's programming/limitations.

Mostly about the minis, really.

I didn't like "Rogue" as much as I've liked every other episode this season, but the Doctor-and-Rogue stuff was great. My complaints are that the tension just wasn't there for me for most of the run-time. I kept expecting another little twist or surprise somewhere. For the record, I think this...

That episode is at the top of my list of ones to suggest to people who have never watched the show - I think it's a top-notch one-shot story and a great example of what the show is like a lot of the time.

This is an interesting question! In terms of looking up points of interest, I will flip to the classes - specifically Fighter and Cleric, because those are the classes I know the 2014 version of the best. But I will browse through looking at the art a lot!

She's in such a tenuous position, and when she tries to be assertive she's abandoned. She has to wait patiently and slowly, and carefully maneuver for a moment when she can use that condition with some agency. It's not until the "crone" stage that she fully understands and bring things full...

Heard an interesting argument in favor of 73 Yards' unanswered questions: it all started with a fairy ring*, so things are not going to make sense, because that's how the fae work. I also heard a snippet about the episode being a metaphor for how society treats women, but I haven't given this...

Well, you got me there - I didn't measure their pixel heights. :rolleyes: ("about the same height" is what I said, and having it confirmed by your numbers I'm going to stick with that.)

I think if I were to watch The Eternals again, I would watch it in chunks instead of start to finish. So, I think you're on to something!

Wow - for me at least, this cover specifically fails to achieve these goals. Making the figures all pretty much the same size does give equal significance to each level of threat, but my first thought when looking at the cover was "well, that's dull". But again, I'm just one nerd, and it's not...
