    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist Zodiac?

    I hardly understand the earth zodiac. Would you need to map the paths of the various planets, and invent a few constellations and devise the meaning of various conjunctions?

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    Screw it: let's have BattleTech on the big screen. Have five different movies involving different factions, then have your 'Avengers' crossover with the Fourth Succession War.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    The gimmick was the players were a group of pirates trying to raid the Whoville Arms Factory to steal its new tech. They struck after the great party the staff held on Christmas Eve, so most of the defenders were drunk or asleep. I was a bit too ambitious in what I planned for a one-shot (two...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    My birthday is Christmas Even. I got some friends to agree to try out BattleTech for a one-shot as my birthday gift. This was a mech I painted for the game.

    Gaming/RPG Fiction Should Make A Comeback

    I just got the latest BT novel Voidbreaker, and I gave up a hundred pages in. It just wasn't grabbing me. The main character had no personality. She was just a vessel for plot. And that plot was plodding. Too much pondering and planning, which could work if it was balanced with character...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist on Roll20 progress

    That sounds awful. Are you safe now?

    ZEITGEIST Cypherblade's Zeitgeist campaign

    Forging a long-term relationship is more valuable than short term losses. Morgan represents a massive global operation trying to get a foothold in Flint, and helping the constables root out the Kell Guild will lead to more long-term profits. Plus, Morgan is, at his heart, sincerely devout to his...

    Preparations for Super Bowl LIX?

    Then I will not explain why I'm boycotting.

    Yes, the movie looks promising, but here's the thing.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    This does not bother me, but to be fair, I've never touched a Fantastic Four comic nor seen any of the movies. Apparently the Silver Surfer is important. I frankly think the whole premise of a giant dude who eats planets who has a shiny guy as his herald or whatever sounds pretty silly, and...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    My answer? I think diverse representation matters more than fidelity to unimportant elements of source material. The MCU leads have been more white, male, and American than the per capita rate of that group among the human race. Yeah, the films are adaptations of comics that were often made by...

    WotBS Bonus Time's Burning Sky

    Pardon me if I missed it, but did you have an earlier thread that introduced the PCs? If you're just doing this for yourself to keep records, feel free to ignore me.

    David Lynch: RIP and Ranked (A Celebration)

    I kinda disliked Twin Peaks: The Return. I liked Fire Walk With Me best of any of the Lynch stuff I've seen, which proved he could do Twin Peaks and have an interesting tone without Mark Frost. But The Return just lacked verve. It was one note, and that note was unsettling. Like, I get it, I...

    WotBS RStiv's Burning Sky

    Can you draw the map at a "1 square = 30 ft" scale?

    WotBS Fuzzybear's Burning Sky

    I admit to starting off a little lost from the pause since the last update, but a quick reread refreshed my memory. I was not involved in Under the Eye of the Tempest due to scheduling stuff, so I wonder whether the boss fights in this one will actually be challenging. :D

    D&D General Running a Monster Hunter style protracted hunt and staged battle against a dragon

    Those are amazing. Hiding in carvings is awesome! Okay. Now how to design the battle map? Hmm.

    D&D General Running a Monster Hunter style protracted hunt and staged battle against a dragon

    I want to have a dungeon crawl with a series of encounters against a singular dragon, where the party first spots evidence of its presence and its powers, then encounters it somewhere they have the option to flee because it's mostly invulnerable to their attacks initially, but then they find a...

    ZEITGEIST Calliope’s Zeitgeist [WILL HAVE FULL SPOILERS FOR THE ADVENTURE PATH]

    The Ob is pretty compartmentalized, and most of its members are canny enough to maintain operational security, so if he'd worked with, say, Caius Bergeron before (maybe been the one to recruit him), when suddenly this deva shows up, Caius would have a moment of recognition, and he might probe...
