    The Fourteenth Doctor is Here! | BBC Children in Need 2023 | Doctor Who

    Will D+ stream the older stuff? I want to try and finish 13's run and watch The Flux and forward.

    "The Marvels" - Teaser

    Quantumania was the only major miss for me, everything has been at least decent to good in this phase. As for The Marvels ... I really liked it, probably in the upper echelon of post-Endgame MCU. Solid characters, a fun story, and it kinda breezed by, didn't feel overly long.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    I thought the trailer wasn't that bad, but then that list of credits ... oof.

    D&D 5E (2014) No One Plays High Level?

    Yet to play or DM past 10th level here. Campaigns just tend to peter out, or if we're running a pre-published, the bulk of them barely go past this level (have played through Curse of Strahd, Descent into Avernus and Dragon Heist).

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 wins 7 Golden Joystick Awards including Ultimate Game of the Year

    Good for them. Saw some acceptance clips, they gave great speeches too.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    Despite cooling on Marvel in general, I am eager for The Marvels, because the cast is winning and anything to upset the gatekeepers. And I'm still susceptible to the allure of Marvel and their IP and characters. They've announced a Marvel and Magic The Gathering crossover in 2025, and despite...

    Are Superhero films dying?

    Dying, to me, suggests they would go the way of the musical or western, and I don't see that happening, there's enough pop culture credit behind the characters and IP for superhero movies to continue. I do see this as a moment of transition, as Marvel realizes they can't flood the theatres...

    Full MtG Universes Beyond Marvel Set Coming in 2025.

    https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/the-magic-the-gathering-marvel-collaboration-begins Just a video right now. Huh. Fascinating. I had sorta assumed, given Disney was making Lorcana, their own TCG, that collabs with Marvel was off the table with MTG.

    Reviews that didn't age well.

    I left Walking Dead when Negan arrived. No desire to return, though I'd love to see the actors elsewhere

    Early Christmas? - Princess Bride MTG Cards!!!

    I was skeptical when Universes Beyond was announced, but I'll admit I think it's been a good thing. These cards are gorgeous, and I'm picking up the Doctor Who set this week.

    D&D 5E (2024) What would be the path between Wildshape Templates and Use an Beast statblock?

    What I'd guess is what people here are more or less musing on ... a Druid can prepare a limited number of forms (like the last playtest), some of which can be templates. So a Druid could prepare Predator of the Land (generic attack template) and two CR 1/4 beasts.

    D&D 5E (2024) What would you like in the 2024 DMG Instead of the Bastion System?

    This would be easier if I had an idea what else is in the DMG and how the page count is managed. Conceptually, adding a way to manage and build a place for PCs to have as a home base is fine. So a refined version of a bastion system is perfectly acceptable, depending on what else is in the book...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    If he had had any, he might have lost them ... note that the Eye of Sion had to come down to him, not the Star Destroyer go up to it.

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Overall, this felt a little empty and underbaked. Like ... had to wait until the last episode to finally clear up why Ahsoka stopped training Sabine? So little about how Ezra or Thrawn spent their exile? I just feel like this show is missing some better character beats and managed to be both...

    Grade the Fate/Fate Core System

    I do think that FATE is really good at running any established franchise setting, like Star Trek, because it works well within a shared understanding of the narrative and genre conventions. I've considered FATE instead of trying to learn whatever "official" system exists for said setting.

    Grade the Modiphius 2d20 System

    I wasn't aware this was a whole group of systems, only knew about Star Trek Adventures. I was researching the system, I looked briefly into it as we were discussing a new campaign, but haven't played it. (Ended up starting up a Star Wars campaign using FATE)

    Grade the Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) System

    This is the big one for me. I think as long as it runs right out of the box/book, everything is fine. But I cannot grok how to alter or brew for it at all, if something feels off or isn't quite working, I have no idea how to fix it. I also find that the best thing as a player to do is to pick a...
