    Ah. That's fine, then. The comment above that says it ties in with the Mandalorian finale had me confused.

    Trailer Skeleton Crew | Official Trailer | Disney+

    I'm actually sad to hear it's going to tie into The Mandalorian story arc. I was really enjoying the idea that this was going to be it's own thing for once. It's not like the galaxy isn't big enough...not all stories need to intersect :(.

    Dragon Reflections #84

    I still have them on my shelf. I haven’t read them in a long while though, might be time to pull them out again.

    Trailer Skeleton Crew | Official Trailer | Disney+

    I'm more excited by this than by any of their past Star Wars shows recently. Maybe because it's feels like they're finally doing something different with the setting.

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    That was my reading as well. It only looked like a trance because she seemed unaware of having done it. But that’s apparently how sigils work…even the caster is affected.

    Media D&D Realms Maps

    While I don't doubt there are artists who aren't interested in fame, as you say, I'd be very surprised if there were many not interested in attracting additional clients. Getting official credit is usually critical for working artists.

    Crediting the artists who worked on your project would be a normal expectation, I would imagine. And would go a long way to reassuring people. The fact you aren't crediting the artists specifically would be a warning sign for me, regardless of the existence of AI.

    It definitely did.

    2024 D&D Character Sheets Available to Download

    These changes are fantastic, and I’ll definitely be using these over the official sheets! Thanks so much for doing them.

    How Dragonbane Pointed out the Clashing Desires of My Gaming Group

    Yeah, I’ve read the whole thread, and that line leapt out at me. If your players (and even worse, your wife) flat out state that they don’t care about your fun, there’s not a game in the world that is going to solve things.

    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    ‘1’ as well. I buy their game books because they make game books I want to buy. They’d have to do something extremely egregious to make we want to avoid them (more so than standard corporate stuff). On the flip side, I know there are a lot of smaller publishers that are better in a lot of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    Duelling definitely feels reliable! Other than the fact you can still roll a 1 :). As to why not make this a flat bonus, I’m obviously not privy to their thought process, but personally, I’d hazard it’s down to: 1) Duelling already exists. Adding another style that basically duplicates it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    Well the gripe about complexity was more about the comments complaining about ‘dumb fighters’. This style actually isn’t super simple..a flat bonus like Duelling or Defence, as you say, would be simpler. I’m more arguing that the lack of mathematical oomph of this is balanced by the feel of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    Yeah, very much this. I’ll admit it may not be as mathematically advantageous as some options, but I think it’s very much balanced by its reliability. It’s balanced by the feel, which I know is probably anathema to the people who enjoy minute white board analysis. Big numbers don’t always...

    D&D 5E (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    This probably says more about me as a player than it does about the style, but I don’t mind this at all. There’s nothing I hate more than seeing 1s come up on a damage die. Rolling double 1s, and being able to say that the 2 is now a 6, would feel awesome at the table. But like I said, that’s...

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    Wow, I’m the complete opposite here. World building and character development are important, but unless the are in service to a good story, what’s the point? Tell me a good story, and I’ll overlook some world building flaws. Build a world without a good story, and I’ll wonder what the point...

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    This is pretty much where I’m sitting. I have no problem with nuance and morally grey shows. I’m also fine with more straightforward space opera fare. But I do want them to be well written, and, well, good. The Acolyte, for the most part, wasn’t. Maybe it could have been, if they hadn’t...

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    Don't worry, if Star Wars stays true to form, in 10 years time we'll have a library's worth of wookiepedia articles telling us every little excruciating detail about any witch who was on screen for more than a second. Names, backstories, and how they're all somehow tied to a Skywalker....:)

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Also, don't forget that while she looks like a chaos deity now, she was a product of her time. Compared to most other Babylonian gods at the time, she was pretty average. Otherwise she wouldn't have been comfortable being so openly chaotic in public! :)

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Does it matter whether or not he created Tiamat specifically to attack women, or simply found it a convenient way to attack women after the fact?!? Are we down to splitting hairs so fine that the defender's are down to saying "Ok, he was sexist, here, and here, and maybe there. But you can't...
