Ha! I just wrote in another thread that Sigil was likely dropping the ambitious (and scope creep heavy) plan to be a driver of new users into the D&D ecosystem and instead focus on being a physical 3D Terrain/Mini replacement system. What Maps has proven good at for DDB is driving up lifetime...

I think it's a weird take that Sigil was a solution in search of a problem. IMO it was pretty clear that WotC wanted 2 things from Sigil. First to be a digital replacement for physical 3D battle maps and minis (a small niche) but secondly and more importantly, they wanted it to be an easy...

You mean the discount sets that bundled physical and digital together with a nice savings and also happened to include a digital mini as a throw in?

Porting over the 3D Monsters/PCs to Maps is an interesting idea, I'd be down for that. And if I remember correctly, maybe a year ago there was an internal battle between the Sigil product owner and the Maps prodcut owner over where to spend resources. And it seems that Maps suddenly began...

Hmmm, either I'm thinking of a different scene or that was a very, very bad composite shot of the practical effect.

Understand the limitations of the TV budget (which is comparatively big) it just irks me when TV directors think they have a bigger budget than they do. Like, so much is good in WoT from the landscapes to the cities to the weave, and then a scene of a road being torn up by magic is so bad it...

The weaves continue to look great, but the environmental effects they create in that battle were pretty bad. Wish filmmakers would go back to using trickery for scenes like that if they don’t have the budget to get the fx looking reasonable.

That makes sense. I'm almost the exact opposite when it comes to stories in two different mediums. All I see is the resonant threads, and forget all the differences. Heck, I'm a huge Dark Tower book series fan, and can even enjoy the movie for what it is. Though I will say it's odd when I...

This is coming from someone who hasn't finished reading the books, but I find the flow of the show to be far superior to that of the books (I'm on Path of Daggers currently). The books meander and take so much time to get places (enjoyable time! but still so much as to forget all of the little...

Feel like this dropped out of knowhere onto Amazon yesterday (the first 3 episodes at least). Didn't see a discussion thread for S3 so figured I'd get it started! I got through the first 2, and while some of the FX are a bit rough this season, overall I'm digging it. Def some interesting...

My ruling, "As you focus in on turning your imagination into reality, manifesting the movement of the moon to the proper position, you also feel the weave stretching out from you, it's tendrils encircling all of the life around you, close at first, but soon for hundreds of miles, touching every...

@Clint_L a few others have mentioned it, but Sigil will be available on Mac, probably sooner rather than later. It's pretty straightforward to port U5 from Windows to Mac, but it typically isn't done until you have a near final project, as every update you make after that has to be done twice...

My guess is that Sigil will be monitized in two ways by WotC 1. To DMs by selling AP sets (like Strahd or Infinite Staircase) that include all the prebuilt maps and minis needed to run the adventure. Expect these to be in the $30-$50 range 2. To PCs by selling upgrades for their PC minis and...

Wild that Maps is listed as Beta, but Sigil isn't. At any rate my Windows machine doesn't have the juice to run Sigil effectively, so I'll be waiting for the Mac release before I dive in and keep using Maps in the meantime.

I'd join in the conversation in a Sigil+ thread!

I had alpha access, but because my Windows laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, I only messed around with it for a couple of days. Will give this version another try. Curious to see how the map builder is coming along. The initial one still had quite a bit of work to be done, but...

Rewatched on Netflix last night (gotta do my part to get the FR series green-lit) and got reminded again what a great movie this is. I have a sense that new audiences will keep rediscovering this movie for the next 20 years or so.

For everyone excited about a Netflix Forgotten Realms series, be sure to watch DaDHAT on Netflix this weekend and try and get all your co-players, friends and families to watch it as well. I don't think it's a coincidence that Honor Among Theives is now available on the platform right after...

A solid showing on Netflix could be enough to get a sequel over the development hump, especially if they can cut costs in the 2nd one.

Facinating. I've thankfully never had that issue, I was more talking about the time and head space investment needed for high level. As a DM, you have to understand the capabilities and preferences of your players very well, and as a player, you have to be engaged with the fiction of the world...
