    Rings of Power is Back [+] Appreciation

    Ismael Cruz Cordova had a powerful romantic smoulder in season 1, so I missed that this season. Very curious to see what they do with him next.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm not sure I agree with this, but I don't have the headspace to articulate it right now - possibly because of ADHD! :LOL: That said, I would agree that neuronormativeness may be a reason for behavior, but it generally should not be considered an excuse. ;)

    Not DnD October Guests

    Looking forward to the Andrew Peregrine interview! I have no idea if I would ever use a Space:1999 rpg, but I absolutely want it! :ROFLMAO:

    I don't. That is not a boast!

    Rings of Power is Back [+] Appreciation

    Recently had it pointed out to me that at the end of season 1, when Galadriel, Elrond and whoever else are at Celebrimbor's forge, there's an overhead shot where the shadow of a chain falls in such a way that Celebrimbor looks like he's chained.

    D&D 5E (2024) Character Design Foundations With Bigger Budgeted Species (+)

    Watching this with keen interest! I had a similar idea recently, when I realized how few dragon-like features dragonborn actually have. They "should" have a claw attack, a bite attack, natural armor, a tail sweep atatck, breath weapon, a wing atatck?, an enhanced sense, and a Charisma-based...

    D&D 5E (2024) Scoring abilities of 2024 Species (and looking back to MotM)

    I find this kind of thing very useful when building new races, so thanks!

    Rings of Power is Back [+] Appreciation

    I agree with this in general about RoP, in that I feel like it has both too many characters and too few. I can't imagine doing without any of the main characters we have, because I think they're all written so well and the actors are killing it, so I really have no suggestions or wishes there...

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    Mostly loved this last ep, but that sequence at the end with the elves was so oddly shot or edited, or both. I was confused initially what the mass of elves was looking at toward the end, like something was appearing above them, and then Mrs ART! said "what are they looking at?". So, it wasn't...

    Rings of Power is Back [+] Appreciation

    My understanding is that later in his writing Tolkien toyed with the idea of the Istari - or some of them - arriving in the 2nd Age. I feel the same about most of that. I was really taken with Elrond in this episode. I thought Robert Aramayo really sold the weight and history behind his...

    This begs the question - for me, at least: where are they going to put Gandalf during the Last Alliance?

    New Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide Art and Details Revealed

    Something weird is going on with the the figure on the left: their arm and leg are doing something weird. I think it would work fine if the figure were not cut off right above the knee, and if the arm were rendered or lit just a bit differently. Have you taken a gander at Shadowdark? It's...

    New Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide Art and Details Revealed

    Looks like that's supposed to be an older (but maybe still not fully grown) version of what's-his-name from the D&D cartoon. So the baby face makes sense, I think. It threw me off at first, too, though. It's an odd piece, to be sure. It kind of lacks design. And...is the city on fire? Because...

    I know someone who saw the FOTR in theaters and hated it, saying it was "just a bunch of slaughter". And I was like "That's what you got out of that?" There's no accounting for...seeing what you see, I guess?

    D&D 5E (2024) Not loving weapon mastery with beginners

    You're right. But there it is. Maybe the point is that neither DMs nor players can be expected to remember everything they technically should remember

    D&D 5E (2024) Not loving weapon mastery with beginners

    Expecting the players to remind the DM of effects the player has caused assumes that the player will remember. I have ADHD, and the odds of me remembering that the target I hit has disadvantage on their first attack before the start of my next turn - when umpteen things could happen between...

    Rings of Power is Back [+] Appreciation

    I heard a reference just the other day to Tolkien's awareness that elves had a problematic perspective in Middle-earth because of their upper-class status. I think it was in one of his Letters. Interesting. I think some of it is just the presence of something so threatening causes people to go...
