    Arcane netflix series

    Since so many others have expressed the opposite opinion, would you be willing to expand upon what was unappealing about the characters for you? If not, perhaps you could suggest something you do like as a fantasy mini-series? Of course, I'm asking a favour, since you have no duty to defend your...

    D&D 5E (2014) What If Ranged Wpn Attacks Used Wisdom?

    Hmm... if Wisdom becomes the ranged weapon stat, then lots of clerics and druids will adopt bows or crossbows. Fewer rogues will use crossbows or thrown daggers. If Strength is for thrown weapons, barbarians and fighters (and some paladins) will suddenly start throwing cutlery. If Int is the...

    Arcane netflix series

    The art! The more I look, the more impressed I am. Not just gorgeous backdrops, or fantastic character detail. But the animation is mind-blowing! Heads move naturally in conversation, bodies move and clothes sway when people stand still. I'd guess that they motion captured every performance, or...

    Arcane netflix series

    Has anyone seen Arcane, the animated mini-series based loosely on League of Legends? I have, and although I don't know LoL from a hole in the ground, I loved it. The art leaves me speechless, the story is engaging and passionate, the characters and world are captivating. 11/10, would recommend.

    D&D 5E (2014) Favorite Unusual Races/Lineages

    Grung - scout rogue, currently level 5 in a campaign Minotaur - 4e paladin, played from level 1 to 30. Tortle - storm cleric, rocked around Chult for a few levels. Gnoll - ranger, levels 1-8 out of the Abyss. Next character might be a Yuan-ti warlock? I would have played it in my current game...

    Your Pizza Order

    Here too, cuz. (Aussie here). I used to be a big fan of Hawaiian and Supreme, before my taste-buds got old. :)

    Your Pizza Order

    You can't choose 'pepperoni' multiple times; this is a major flaw in your survey! ::LOL: I'm surprised how popular pineapple is, given how controversial it is!

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Monster Weakness Interesting

    "A rose? For me? How sweet! Almost as sweet as your blood will be when I drink it from your neck!" If logic trumped cool, Star Wars and superheroes wouldn't be the monster hits that they are. And The Expanse would be a lot more popular.

    D&D General Miniature Survey

    I love painting minis. I always try and find appropriate minis for our characters; if I can't find one, I'll buy one from Hero Forge. Over the years I've bought and painted up lots of monsters we can fight, and I'm always getting more.

    Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett - Official Trailer (2021)

    I mean, Bobba Fett is older here, and has been through the Sarlac ringer. I can see him looking for a more sedate career than an itinerant bounty hunter. Hopefully we'll see what attracts him to Jabba's old stomping slithering grounds.

    Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett - Official Trailer (2021)

    I think one thing that rather threw the last trilogy for a loop was Carrie Fischer passing on. I believe she was going to have a major role in the final movie, and that couldn't happen.

    Does anybody else experience "DM's High"?

    Oh, man, I remember those. I used to DM a lot, but things change. I do miss it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rewarding Bad Ideas (Mechanically)

    If I did use Lingering Injuries, I'd let the player choose the injury. An eyepatch or a hook hand might be cool, if the player so chooses. And there should be a way to buy it off, or get it removed with higher level magic. Lingering Injury is also a great excuse to use the wheelchair options...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rewarding Bad Ideas (Mechanically)

    In my experience timid people penalised for being timid tend to leave. As for Lingering Injury, I think it leans into the same logic that has made Afterpay and credit cards so popular.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rewarding Bad Ideas (Mechanically)

    The other ideas are interesting, but I definitely disagree with using xp in the way @Lanefan suggests. Making the game permanently suck for one or more players because of their playstyle is just the wrong way to go. I quite like Lingering Injury, and Inspiration or other bonus for fun or heroic...
