    D&D 5E (2024) What 3PP content (settings, classes and PC species) would you like in D&D Beyond?

    I've had mixed experiences with 3rd party player content, so I guess I'd lean towards GM content: monsters and adventures and such. But tbh, I don't use DnD beyond

    D&D 5E (2024) In Interview with GamesRadar, Chris Perkins Discusses New Books

    "I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova is God. And if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out." So, moving onto the next question that I'm more interested in, is what happens after the new Core? Are they just reworking all...

    D&D General No More Baldur's Gate From Larion: Team Is 'Elated'

    And it should be noted that they are still working on the base game: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/baldurs-gate/larians-saying-goodbye-to-baldurs-gate-3-by-giving-us-some-really-evil-endings/ Which ... again, for any other company, this would practically be DLC/extra content to be paid for.

    Just saw Delicious in Dungeon

    I quite liked it, fun show and the gimmick never got old for me.

    D&D General No More Baldur's Gate From Larion: Team Is 'Elated'

    Don't get me wrong ... I would love to give Larian a bunch more money for some more BG3 content, but I fully support the company deciding to move on. Especially given that they have lost their ... personal connection to WotC, I remember Sven saying all the WotC staff that worked with Larian are...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte starts June 4

    Looks interesting. Anything to tide me over until Andor S2 though, which is what I'm really hyped for.

    Your best Enterprise?

    SNW would get my vote, but I grew up with the Galaxy, I want my hotel in space.

    The 96th Annual Academy Awards (Sunday, 3/10/24)

    Truth. I loved Boy and the Heron, and Spiderverse, and Nimona ... and yet friends tell me Robotic Dreams is even better. Lots of contenders in the animated category. Outside of nominations, and understanding that I have yet to see Poor Things, the main Oscar I really thought should've gone to...

    The 96th Annual Academy Awards (Sunday, 3/10/24)

    This year I've done better than most. I saw Barbie, Oppenheimer, Past Lives and the Holdovers. Of the animated films, Nimona, Spiderverse and The Boy andthe Heron. Also the local theater was showing all the short films, so I've seen the full suite of short animated flicks and short films. And...

    Describe your last rpg session in 5 words

    Secret meeting interrupted. Jedi raged.

    Spoilers Shogun 2024

    I'm in. Watched the first just before bed and ended up staying up late watching the second.

    Trailer Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster - Official Launch Trailer

    Or Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, tbh. Loved that one, with the FMV bits

    The Boys has a season 4 air date

    Finally, that filmed ages ago

    Trailer Madame Web | Official Trailer

    I enjoyed it. As superhero movies go, it was mid, but I did like it more than Quantumania. Adding a slasher flick vibe was interesting, and I liked how ... awkward Cassie was. The villain was heavily and obviously ADRed, which was clearly from rewrites.

    Spoilers Madam Web Review with Spoilers

    Saw this last night to a reasonably packed cheap night. I found it fun. A little mid, but certainly not worth panning. If anything, it and The Marvels both suffer from being caught in the superhero backlash and being led by a female cast. And if they'd pitched this more as a slasher movie than...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player’s Handbook (2024)

    The sticker shock is real, especially since the exchange rate gets the PHB close to $100 CDN (guesstimate after tax), but given the use I got out of the 2014 PHB, I still think it'll be worth the investment.

    D&D 5E (2024) What class/classes are you most looking forward to being updated/revised?

    Artificer, Monk and Sorcerer. Artificer because while I love the class, the 5e iteration has disappointed me. So I'm hoping they'll get some love ... soon. Monk because I think this one gets the "most improved" badge. Sorcerer is my favourite class, and I'm generally happy with the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    I am more interested in the DM side of the equation. While all the proposed changes to the player content, to me, is interesting and too extensive to dismiss as mere errata, it is the DM's side that requires more attention. Better support for the non-combat pillars, easier to build combat...

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    Yes. While I may have hoped for more changes and refinements, it's still 5e, the way I prefer to play and run DnD. Not interested in crunchier systems, so this is the system I feel comfortable teaching and running. That said, I do see myself waiting until I can get all three together.

    The Fantastic Four Casting and New Release Date Revealed by Marvel Studios

    I do wonder how much of that is more how society perception has changed. Again ... not a big FF reader, but from what I have read, Reed is very much the Silver Age Patriarch. Emphasis on Patriarch-y.
