    Quantum Leap Reboot (spoilers allowed)

    While still not thrilled by dual time line focus ( I would rather more focus on Ben in other lives to get more POV and empathy in to that side of the story; but that’s just personal taste), I am still enjoying the show enough to keep watching :)

    D&D General Are all the freebies worth it when taking them means my Pc is a escaped slave that's wanted dead or alive and has a price of 58,290 Gold on his head?

    As a dm I would dislike this greatly as it causes the DM several headaches. (1) you’d have extra gold and magic items as a resource, that leads to needing to do extra effort to balance encounters for your different resources (2) unless other PCs have that level, you’ll be unbalanced in resources...

    D&D General Advice on Writing Players Guide/Hook

    My player guides tend to run three pages Page 1: setting stuff A four sentence max “elevator pitch” to grab attention, sprinkle the themes of the starting arc(s)/setting - basically your move trailer. Then a couple paragraphs at history, the first paragraph giving some older history that...

    WotC Dragonlance: Everything You Need For Shadow of the Dragon Queen

    So….. dragonlance, I’ve never played in it beyond the name dragonlance was on some modules but it was played in such a way that it could have been any generic fantasy setting when you filed off the names. I’ve been playing d&d for many many many decades but mostly been home brew ( some mystara...

    Shows that I go back and rewatch, shows that I should

    Quantum Leap Reboot (spoilers allowed)

    Just finished watching it. Some random thoughts as a fan of the original. Not yet sure how I feel about switching back and forth between time lines. I hope not done too much if it detracts from immersion of focus on the personal story being leapt in to. Ex: if this were the original...

    Quantum Leap Reboot (spoilers allowed)

    Well, story drama reasons. Unnecessary in the context of this episode. That said, in the original, Sam was actually married but they chose not to tell him so that he could embody the person he kept in to, romances and all, without guilt of remembering he’s married. ( of course, they did not...

    the books where you are the hero

    Van Ryder games does graphic novels that are a bit choose your own adventure style https://www.vanrydergames.com/graphicnovels I read through all of season 1 and enjoyed them. They each had very different flavor and style though. Some friends definitely preferred some over the others as...

    Ms Marvel (spoilers)

    As someone with an understanding of the specific cultures and internal conflicts that come from such culture-intersections, my perspective of the show is different than most. So I found it interesting to read this thread and see what take aways and assumptions were made (ie things obvious to me...

    News Digest for the Week of July 29

    (Begin rampant speculation) Well if you combine that with the fact that the cube mini has items on it that seem to resemble items held by the d&d cartoon characters, we may well know of their fates! ;-).

    How often does the Enterprise actually explore strange new worlds?

    I could be remembering wrong but I think Q called out Picard on this at some point ( possibly the episode where he got them in contact with borg the first time.. but I’m old and my memory is faulty so can’t be certain when it was)

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

    So basically ally mcbeal as a hulk? ;). (Kidding. I know this source material and tone predates that other show)

    D&D General Decision paralysis: how do you homebrew?

    Looking at the handful of posts here from the Op that I read or skimmed … If you do Ebberon vs Homebrew you’re either doing more research and bending vs creating. If you did ebberon you’d be plopping the adventure in an isolated area so you’d only be getting the name and some historical lore...

    D&D General Would the 14 year old that was made A Baroness before she was even born be annoyed that her title was actually a bribe to buy her mothers silence?

    She’s only ever known an entitled life. Unless she was tempered with an over abundance of wisdom, she’s going to feel like her rights and privileges that she ‘has the right to’ are now in jeopardy if anyone finds out. She’s going to double down on brattiness to overemphasize (in her own...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would Allowing Multiple Reactions Break The Game?

    You COULD leave it as is but "some magic time effect washes over the city" and the net result is exactly that. Giving you a reason to justify it in game AND a way to pull the plug on it should you need to by having the magic effect fade away and gives you some story potential to mine as to where...

    D&D 5E (2014) Challenge: Invent a PHB Class List with 6 Classes

    Since you picked ‘6’ How about one class built around each ability score. And then the names classes are various combinations of multi classing between them no? Ok not but a random thought even if not entirely viable
