The most basket goals.

I avoided the phrasing "__ scored in the 90s" for similar reasons. ;)

The team that hits the most home runs.

That they've improved both the ranger and the monk (and with such high approval ratings) is music to my ears. Those are the two 2014 classes I regularly want to play but don't, due to their underwhelmingness.

Sounds like we will see a preview or playtest of this later this year, before the release of the DMG

Confirmed: the book is jam-packed with gorgeous me!

"...that cool [dwarf fighter] image...is from the fighter section of the new Players Handbook, and my goodness is that book jam-packed with gorgeous art..." To be honest, this is the most exciting thing about these new core books, for me.

The conjuration spells scored in the 70s-80s%

"...several of the game's core healing spells - cure wounds, healing word, and others - scored [80-89%]"

Druid passed their 70% approval "floor", and Barbarian passed 80%.

This show feels like a gift. If forced to complain, I think some characters got underserved, but I understand stuff got scrapped when they switched from a 6-episode plan to 5.

Riggs' forecast sounds like a parallel of the collapse of pop monoculture we've experience in the past generation or so. I think what he's describing is inevitable, at least to some extent, for some of the same reasons the pop monoculture collapsed.

Got my copy of the core book book just in time for Christmas, and it's a beaut! There's so much to love in this. The layout is set up so that each page or two-page spread is one topic or sub-topic. The art is very reminiscent of early D&D art, in the best possible way. The random tables are...

When I first started reading it, I thought maybe it wasn't for me. The author is telling their journey as a professional into discovering what trauma is and does. He started in the late '70s, dealing with Vietnam vets and their war trauma, and that's why I thought maybe this isn't about me...

Working through The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, by Bessel van der Kolk. This has been a real eye-opener. Decalog, the first of three Doctor Who anthologies from the '90s, all telling one big story. Haven't made it very far, but I'm enjoying it so far...

Tales of the Valiant was an easy first choice. Mt weekly group plays D&D 5E, and I'm trying to introduce options from other 5E stuff I think will improve play. I love the concept in Cohors Cthulhu, and I've wanted to try the 2d20 system (for more than a session or two) for years. Will I...

Corporate thinking is the weirdest thing sometimes - why would you lay folks off across the board, including from the one division that's doing really well?

Support your local game shop whenever possible, either to buy the above items or other gifts for the gamer(s) in your life. (Unless your local game shop's owners are on the Naughty list.)

Amen to this. I find the focus and layout of most 5E characters sheets befuddling. I've gone to the trouble of making my own in InDesign, but I haven't finished it because there's nothing like designing a character sheet for a system to make the things you don't like about the system into...

We used to use just regular scotch tape over the HP area. The kind of tape with a matte finish, because you can write on it with a pencil and erase it.
