    Yeah I just finished rehabbing a partial tear in my right shoulder last year, and now the pec - I'm obviously doing something wrong on that side!

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    Not at all. Both the rule and intent seem obvious: you can't use multi-classing to get around normal spell level restrictions.

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    No arguments from me! Reeves will never be topped in that role. And that film gets Superman in exactly the way that Snyder's films don't.

    Our Physical Fitness

    I seem to have either a significant strain or mild tear in my right boob, so that's a (literal) pain and also gets in the way of my regular routine pretty significantly. Had to do one-armed elliptical machine today, and very low weights - gonna take it easy until it is properly assessed, so I...

    The Bondsman (Prime)

    We have one episode left, and are quite enjoying it. There's been a few unexpected turns, and it strikes a good balance between horror and quirky. Plus country music (which I can take or leave, but I thought the last episode's rendition of "May the Circle Be Unbroken" was quite lovely). Be aware...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    That is the opposite of a selling point for non-Americans, though. It potentially means higher tariffs for us, not to mention the fact that many of us, including basically my entire country (Canada), are feeling pretty negative towards the "Made in America" label these days, for reasons I don't...

    How do you like to handle dungeon mapping?

    If it's a complicated map I use the Maps feature on DDB and unveil it as the players explore. If it's not, I just describe it, and assume that the PCs, being immersed in it, will not have any trouble remembering a couple turns and some side rooms, just as we would IRL. So I remind them if they...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    If sub-par effects are disqualifying, then most of these films are disqualified. Will you believe a man can fly? Not through watching the original Superman; those effects are totally janky by today's standards! Still an important movie (not that great, though; the plot is pretty dumb, with a...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    Yes - this. I love a lot of American games companies, but right now it just feels wrong to spend money on American products. That's why I'm particularly glad that Dungeons and Lasers is running a KS right now - Poland is a safe choice!

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    Seems pretty straightforward: "This table might give you spell slots of a higher level than the spells you prepare. You can use those slots but only to cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you cast, like Burning Hands, has an enhanced effect when cast at a higher level, you...

    D&D General To multiclass or not to multiclass

    My players usually multi-class for character reasons.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I also just read Livesuit, the "James A. Corey" novella that explores their new setting from a different perspective. It's really good, as well, if you like good, old fashioned battles with aliens. A lot like a less problematic Starship Troopers.

    World of Warcraft would also like a word.

    D&D 5E (2024) What is compatible with 2024?

    It's not much of an adjustment. Been doing it for awhile.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Stories like yours are what keep private schools like mine in business. Because that just sounds like negligence, and you are right to be upset. Back on topic, I just read Charles Stross's latest Laundry Files book, A Conventional Boy. The protagonist is an institutionalized Dungeon Master with...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    Has anyone brought up Kick-Ass? I'm a big fan of Hitgirl's two scenes of graphic language and violence. Particularly the second one, soundtracked by the Banana Splits song. That's some good juxtaposition (I mean, her whole character is effectively juxtaposition personified). Even though that...

    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    On the other hand, just re-watched Pulp Fiction and...it completely holds up. Not overrated, despite its solid platinum reputation. My kid agreed (he's becoming a bit of a cinephile).

    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    Fair enough. Those are precisely the three that I think are better, but that's probably just a taste thing.

    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    I'm currently re-watching Goodfellas with my kid...and feeling like it might actually be kind of overrated? There are some amazing moments - obviously the long shot of entering the Copacabana - but in terms of story it's a bit of a shaggy dog. Still a great movie, but I don't think it is up...
