    In an Obsidian game?!?!?!?!?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Is that playing in reverse or am I having a stroke?

    Really? I've heard almost nothing but great things about it...

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    My understanding is that MrBeast was pretty much just an organizer of real-life non-fatal Squid Games where poor people withstand torture for the promise of some kind of monetary reward, and filmed for peoples' entertainment because there is no God

    D&D Launches New Eberron-Themed Playtest With Dragonmarked Feats

    There's other Orcs in the Demon Wastes fighting demons, but as far as I can recall demon overlords (who were all over and not just Khorvaire) were sealed up through all of couatls sacrificing themselves to form the Silver Flame, which went down way before the Dhakaani rose. But the "demons" in...

    D&D Launches New Eberron-Themed Playtest With Dragonmarked Feats

    Yeah, the Plane of Madness (Xoriat) tried to invade Khorvaire, and really did tear the Dhakaani apart. What finally stopped them wasn't even the goblins themselves; a dragon had landed in what is now called the Shadow Marches and taught the orcs there how to be druids and they became the first...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Yeah, I tend to struggle especially on particularly long video game RPGs when I get close to the end. I completed basically every side quest in Cyberpunk 2077, just barely started the DLC, and then stopped playing. I'm very close to the end of Baldur's Gate 3 and I'm finding it increasingly more...

    D&D Launches New Eberron-Themed Playtest With Dragonmarked Feats

    I will say, as a staunch "no guns in Eberron" fan of the setting, this has always been my favorite take on how they would be introduced.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm sorry, is that Uranium and Thorium listed as maybe not a good idea????

    D&D Launches New Eberron-Themed Playtest With Dragonmarked Feats

    A few points based off Eberron lore... I agree with pretty much of all of this, with the exception of the bolded; in the lore, the Mark of Siberys specifically only appears on those without a Dragonmark originally. I was actually happy to see that they didn't add that in as a prereq. My guess...

    D&D Launches New Eberron-Themed Playtest With Dragonmarked Feats

    I'm fine with the species prerequisite going away, honestly. Sure it's a huge change but one that I think, overall, has the potential to make the setting more interesting. The spells though, yeah, you should get even if your class doesn't have spellcasting. In lore a lot of the top-level...

    D&D General Mike Mearls sits down with Ben from Questing Beast

    This doesn't make any sense at all. The example given here is especially nonsensical. You absolutely can choose a concept (in this case a dwarven smith wielding a warhammer) and absolutely see it realized in the new game. Even better, with the 2024 changes, because with the Guild Artisan...

    Michelle Trachtenberg

    I had read that she had been struggling with alcohol for a while but trying to look it up now all I can find is rumor and "sources near" kind of stuff, so it might just be speculation. I'll remove the comment in that case.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Definitely a misapplication of the In Remembrance thread to mourn the death of my respect for a specific actor :cry:

    You're approached by a Hollywood exec...

    D&D General Mike Mearls sits down with Ben from Questing Beast

    Here's the thing though... the point of a cover is... to judge the thing before committing to it fully. Like... the phrase is a cliche for a reason, but it really has more to do with how we treat other people than how we approach books or any other form of entertainment. A lot of thought goes...

    Michelle Trachtenberg

    This hits me hard. Considering she's not even half a year older than me, she's probably the first big celebrity death I can think of someone who I, parasocially if nothing else, grew up with. Harriet the Spy, Buffy, hell, even Eurotrip were pretty formative for me. My thoughts go out to her...
