    Jack’s not manifesting telepathy, right? It’s something like the human version of the Great Link. Connection.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D's Upcoming Digital Tabletop

    I share that concern. I run my current game off of a MacBook for people whose hardware ranges from 'gaming rig' to 'laptop-shaped potato'.

    D&D 5E (2014) More details about the VTT from D&D Beyond

    What are the odds of a Day One macOS support? That isn't just the phone/tablet code meant for a touch interface. Not that I'm interested in jumping in anytime soon.

    D&D Movie/TV The D&D Movie Reviews Are Coming In

    Some people are still upset over the OGL fiasco, not to mention the guys who are still upset the present isn't the past.

    Picard Season 3

    One of the many great things about this episode, aside from the wonderful dialogue, was seeing the Federation continue its long tradition of responsible AI development.

    Fast gin should be a thing in D&D. It has the effect of a Haste spell - and it makes you mean.

    Picard Season 3

    True. And TNG embodied that in a fantastic way; a ship equipped with metaphoric nuclear weapons and a literal kindergarten.

    Also, family is a super-important theme in TNG. What's the episode directly after "Best of Both Worlds, part 2"? "Family". (and I seem to recall a family crisis in the middle of Wrath of Khan...)

    As much as I remember the plot of Nemesis, yes. That was part of Shinzon's backstory. I am ready for it.

    Picard Season 3

    There was: James T. Kirk (!!!!). So... body-snatching? I didn't really like that reveal, but I pretty much love everything else about the episode. I'm going to be sorely disappointed if Picard doesn't continue as Shaw, where every 3rd episode is Jack and Sidney getting into hijinks while flirting.

    It said so on the label! I feel like we now know what Rise of Skywalker could have been with a great script.

    Recollection Wine is fermented from ghosts. It allows the imbiber to relive pieces of the decedent's life. Blends are intense, recommend only for the most experienced oenophiles. Sold in the Port on the Aster Sea by a chap named Earnest Gallows.

    Picard Season 3

    I am ready for Star Trek: Shaw. This season is taking the the best thing from the original films; mediations on mortality and the road not taken punctured by big screen space opera action. Not quite repeating the likes Khan so much as rhyming with it. (loved the retcon-ish reason for powering...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Mess of OP Characters (magic items, rest mechanics, etc.)

    I think you can fix a lot by redesigning the encounters. More opponents, more opponent actions, etc. Consider giving bigger bads lair or legendary actions, even if they're technically not big or bad enough to get them. This is going to make combats more complicated and slower. Slower is probably...

    It’s a Heinlein juvenile reimagined as a CW show. I watch it when I want some easy viewing.

    I really like Shaw.
