    Trailer Spaceballs 2: Not the Quest for More Money

    I love Spaceballs. I want to think this could be great... depends on how willing they are to be daring and whether they will do the work to be creative and witty (ie not just simple reversal parody or "isn't this funny?" kind of stuff). Mawg tails and Schwartzs crossed!

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Solos are better when built/run as having multiple actions per round, which avoids the action economy issue. This can also avoid the "one save and be done" concern either by allowing additional saves on each of these turns or having other immunities or abilities to automagically end effects.

    Non-fantasy RPG suggestions?

    The Troubleshooters may work for you, running adventures similar to the Tintin graphic novels. The base campaign world has some superscience influences, but those are easy enough to strip out if not desired and can still run very cool adventures in a "mundane" world.

    What Media Format Is Your Preferred Campaign Style?

    This is an interesting lens to look through! Of all the games we are currently playing, I think they could all be fit into one of these four types: Epic Narrative: The trilogy-style. You are out to solve/fix/overcome some grand thing. You know it at the start of the campaign. All of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    Ingot from the Jade Furnace Weapon, rare (requires attunement) This item appears to be a tubular billet of steel with rounded edges and faint jade veining. When wielded with intent (as one might when drawing a sword), a jet of deep emerald-hued flame bursts forth from the end facing away from...

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    Lantern of the Underdark Explorer Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This hooded lantern appears completely mundane. However, it requires no fuel and on a bonus action can produce continual light within itself equivalent to the Continual Flame spell. This light can be extinguished...

    Canada Worldbuilding

    As an architect and as a Canadian, I feel as though it is my duty now to get that book. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    I love items that grant access to cantrips! A great way to provide a little bit of extra utility and fun to characters with a mostly lateral increase in power. Staff of the Serpent Kingdom Staff, weapon, rare (requires attunement) Beautifully made, this staff is carved and with intricate...

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    I read this as "let's make catnip magic items" which that piqued my interest... imagine my disappointment. ;) (I kid! No disappointment at all... and when I get home and can access it I ought to be able to share at least one that I made for my current campaign.)

    This pleases both the punster and the architect in me. :D

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Fair enough -- and a power point system might well fit better with most media when it comes to how wizards operate. However, from my D&D Vancian casting perspective and experience, with its discrete slots and fixed spells and the like, it doesn't tie into personal stamina so much as it ties...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    I haven't watched it recently, but what I remember from way back when was that the first season was very rough. Even worse in the pilot, where the main themes and nuances weren't fully worked out (and as such it was more caricatures than characters and characterization of the different...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    For me, I would boil it down to two biggies: 1 - A focus on abilities that are "traditionally associated" (recognizing that this is at least partially my experience/bias of what is traditionally associated) with psionics: Telekinetic effects, Telepathy/Mind Affecting Powers, Personal Body...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Nice! Have the "natural language description" models gotten to the point where they'd understand something like "with a bit of" or "with a touch of Iron Man" in order to nudge it slightly? Or is it still much of a world of "if you mention it, it's there in spades"?

    Tell Me About Cortex Prime

    Interesting; the games we've played/run have used Approaches, so perhaps that is why we've seen a lot less repetition. Or, at least, when we do see repetition (if someone is trying to use their higher ranked Approach) it engenders creativity for how to get there. That said, we've also had a...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    That bit about Anime poses and overall scene composition is a good point! A bit of weighting/influence to have it engage in that aspect w/o going into the aesthetics/style could be really fruitful.

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Nice! This looks a lot less MJ than a lot of the MJ creations I'd seen before. The lightning is surprisingly coherent too.
