    Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

    I didn’t expect the Willow series to be The Wrath of Khan of Willow movies, which consists solely of Willow. ie, it’s about mortality, and unfortunate parental relations. That 3rd episode was very satisfying.

    Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey D&D.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    I'm fine with 'species', will probably still use 'race' out of habit, and probably should try not to, because in my new home-brew setting the preferred term is 'people'.

    Dragon Age 4 - now The Veilguard

    I picked up a PS5 over Thanksgiving, so I’m ready to give Solas a… stern talking to. Think there’s a chance for a 2023 release?

    Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

    Counterpoint: the actor also played Lobby Boy, therefore is good.

    Chaos at Disney (Battle of the Bobs)

    Cornhole and drone racing on ESPN make me laugh... right up until I remember my favorite program on ESPN used to be "Cocktail Dress Ladies Billiards", which I swear was a real enough thing.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I suspect he means “Daemon” as in Daemon Targaryen, ie Matt Smith’s character in House of the Dragon. I also suspect he has all the imagination of a damp cardboard box with an ill-tempered cat sitting in it.

    It’s where the most imaginative entertainment industry reporting is done!

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Brie Larson sings an amazing version of Metric’s ”Black Sheep” in Scott Pilgrim, therefore criticizing her excessively is objectively wrong. (she’s also fine as Ms. Marvel)

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Bounding Into Comics is basically “oh noes, comics are too brown and queer now”, isn’t it? One of the pasty misshapen sons of Gamergate.

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    The Muskhelm produces a variety of effects, including material success, delusions, and children. The Muskhelm was inspired by the Müskhelm from the Richard Wagner opera “Der Ring des Elektrischafrikaaners”.

    Star Wars: Andor

    I think they showed the cost of being rebel insurgents, ie it cost them their relationship. They illustrated Luthen’s soliloquy to the mole. I like that. In an inferior work, Cinta would never have made it off Aldhani.

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Those billion dollar interest payments add up! To be fair to Elon, there are ways to make Twitter profitable, or at least an asset to his wider business empire. None of them involve free speech, however.

    D&D General Do you like LOTS of races/ancestries/whatever? If so, why?

    During the COVID lockdowns my group started an OD&D campaign. Four playable races (which were classes). It lasted 2 years. So when that ended and I began running 5e in a new homebrew, we leaned hard into the opposite direction. The Arc has something called the Ikosothropos, the Twenty Peoples...

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Why am I picturing this as a scene from Tron? (if Tron had a budget of 44 billion dollars but looked as good as Second Life)

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Why? Are WotC's workers being treated too humanely? I just watched that video! Apparently because I needed a dose of inanity to go along with my morning coffee. Prior to the MCU, 'hardcore Marvel fans' could barely support the relatively minuscule print runs of modern comics. Which isn't to...

    Star Wars: Andor

    The last episode could have been called "The One Where We Remind You This Is a Star Wars Show". I admit I found it a little jarring. I'm going to have to think about that...

    Star Wars: Andor

    And he handed Saw’s guard a lightsaber. I wonder if this is foreshadowing? 😀 (it’s funny how much of Luthen’s speech to the ISB mole also applies to being a Jedi, come to think...)
