I'm always a little surprised Paizo hasn't done something for 5e. Kobold Press, Green Ronin, and even Monte Cook Games have all embraced 5e. (And Mr. Cook was really burned by WotC after he returned.) D&D isn't just the biggest RPG. It's the biggest three RPGs. Pathfinder was #4 behind base D&D...

You're wrong there. Roddenberry was really the big cheese for the first half of the first season. Do you remember a huge uptick when he passed the reins to a different head writer for the second half? Meanwhile, he was still there as a producer until season 5, giving feedback on scripts and...

Yes. How DARE I want a Star Trek show to be like Star Trek. How completely unreasonable is it that I want something advertised as belonging to an established franchise to feel like it's consistent with that franchise and not an unrelated TV show with the "Star Trek" name slapped overtop. I...

Burnham is pretty unlikable. I don't think the writers know what to do with her. It doesn't help that she's meant to be logical, cold, and a genius after having been raised by Vulcans but because of the needs of the story she keeps making incredibly stupid and emotional decisions again and...

After Civil War, I would imagine Marvel wants to take a longer break before returning to hero vs hero stories. I imagine the next Captain Marvel movie will be taking on the Supreme Intelligence and derailing the Kree empire. That seems like the logical place for that sequel to go. But we still...

Which makes the big assumption Marvel is planning for the Kree/Skrull War and has plans to use Skrulls again in the future. They could just as easily face the Kree alone, without the Skrulls being involved and the Supreme Intelligence being "the Big Bad" of the next phase. OR The next phase is...

I got into Crirical Role a few years back. Shortly after the Briarwoods Arc aired. Even then it was a little daunting catching up. But I listened on YouTube at 1.5x speed, had it on in the background while doing other computer tasks or grinding at MMOs. And at the gym to keep me going on the...

I play a game on Roll20 that’s streamed and archived. (Star Trek Adventures) It doesn’t take much to slip into the “no off-game chatter” mindset and only talk in character for lengthy stretches. Slip in some professional training at imporovation, and that will appear staged. But it’s really...

Oh, eff, and the standard Marvel Studios opening BROKE ME. I was not ready for that.

I quite liked it. Probably one of the better origin movies. I'd put it above Thor and The Incredible Hulk. And it was certainly better than Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and Black Panther. Maybe even Iron Man. (Which is decent, but doesn't hold up as well.) The different pace helped. It was an...

No idea. Why on Earth would they even consider a Critical Role RPG? Firstly, Lisa Stevens has a prolific resume in the industry. She has some early design credits, but found her place behind the scenes. But was involved in the creation of Ars Magica, Vampire the Masquerade, Magic the Gathering...

I actually had not seen your post before I started writing my list. “It’s fine at my table” just doesn’t tend to be useful. There’s too many variables. I could give one of my players a +5 to every roll and that wouldn’t be broken: because of how that player rolls and built their character...

Based on every message board discussion I have had over an option in the last twenty years. It's fine. Translation: It's not fine. It's totally balanced. Translation: It's broke A.F. That's how it works by RAW. Translation: There's no formal rule against it. That's how it works by RAI...

If I have to redesign most of my encounters because of a single option in a single feat, that rules option is broken. Disagree. The feat gives you a bonus to Dexterity saves, which is huge, and evasion via the shield, which is even better. Those two benefits alone are worth a feat. Being able...

Well... setting in this case is the location of the adventure. They could be referring to Cormyr or Myth Drannor as much as Eberron....

It’s a little like the TNG episode, The Lower Decks. Where we get a bunch of new characters, are given an hour to care about them, and then tragedy. Only instead of someone introduced just for this episode, they fleshed out an extra. Which was the problem. I didn’t care. It was too obvious...

I saw that in 3e with endless monsters with spiked chains, combat reflexes, and improved trip who managed to enlarge themselves in response to players doing the same. I don’t like when the game becomes an arm race or develops a metagame of countering options. So I’m certainly not going to house...

I imagine the name would be tricky. They'd need to make a separate website and remake a lot of the program. Really, D&D Beyond isn't HeroLab. It's UI is based entirely on D&D trade dress. I doubt they could use that freely. So they'd need to make a whole new UI and art. And you'd pretty much...

As the DM... fun for whom? I don't like my monsters always being steamrolled by the fighter who knocks them down, attacks twice with advantage, and then lets half the party do the same. I need my fun too. I want to take my turn in combat. So, yeah, rule of fun is the same as rules as written...
