    Original CoS was released in March.

    Knowing beforehand how many episodes it would be, what's the longest series you've gotten into?

    One Piece as well for me. This was back when the anime episode count was "only" in the 200's.

    D&D General The DM is Not a Player; and Hot Topic is Not Punk Rock

    I have had and do have players who's absence in any given session is obviously felt, and I have had and do have players who could drop out completely and it would hardly change a thing.

    D&D Movie/TV Chris Pine To Star In D&D Movie

    Probably subversive in the sense of Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, or the Lego Movie.

    D&D 5E (2014) Races and classes

    I misunderstood you as far as point 2, but what you said clears that up. But as far as point 1, while prestige classes certainly allow for an impact on PC development, the nature of many of them with their requirements and synergies further encourages a focus on the long term planning of a PC...

    D&D 5E (2014) Races and classes

    If points 1 and 2 are important issues you have with 5e than it seems like you would want less decisions points than options (as Charlaquin defines them).

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    Variant human and half-elf are two of the strongest races. This isn't a power gamer thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    In comparison, I don't think I've ever ran a group that didn't have at least one human or half-elf in it.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is up with the popularity of watching other D&D groups play the game?

    As I understand it death was more common in the first campaign. I believe every party member died at some point. The death requiring the apology occured in the 2nd campaign, at early levels, so you can see how the casual CR fan was a bit more shocked when they didn't have raise dead ready.

    D&D 5E (2014) Odd things in the rules that bug you?

    Did not take long for this to go from "odd aspects of the rules that bug you" to just "things about the rules you don't like". The entire mess with melee attacks vs melee weapon attacks and such comes to mind, personally.

    Critical Role Announces Publishing Company

    Disney is all about tightly controlled images. An RP experience isn't conducive to that. And virtual tabletops aren't all that for spectators, really. Better than a simple hand done map, sure, but you're hypothetical example would have the opportunity to use figures, detailed maps, or fancy...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: Drakewarden and Way of the Ascendant Dragon

    They exist on a few cards, but that's the extent of it.

    Rewatching the Batman movies

    Video clip is from an alternate universe in which the Justice League rules the world as the tyrannical Justice Lords. Picture is from the Injustice video game tie-in comic, in which the Joker tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane and setting off a nuke that destroyed Metropolis. He then ruled...

    Rewatching the Batman movies

    Even people who prefer a campy Batman don't find Batman and Robin a happy medium.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    I imagine for many groups treating the races "right" doesn't include the goal of stopping players from playing them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which three classic settings do you hope for?

    I went for Dark Sun, and then Greyhawk and Blackmoor as an either. If I wasn't hedging like that I'd throw in an expanded Ravenloft.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    I would not describe the negative reaction to 4e Dark Sun as "big" in any context besides "big among a few hardcore fans on some small forums." Edit: Let me add that, as snarky as this comes across, I don't want to belittle those hardcore fans. 4e Dark Sun does make some big fundamental changes...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Celebration Schedule Announced

    You have the right to take issue with these treatments of elements of your heritage if you feel they are problematic. But the fact that you don't see an issue, or that you do and choose not to take action about it, does not mean others can't do so in their own circumstances.

    D&D 5E (2014) M:TG Kaldheim = Viking campaign book?

    Kamigawa is seen as a niche failure set by wizards. Tarkir is not.
