    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    I'm 90% sure most of the failing narrative is coming from the anti-woke grifter content mill. For myself, this show is on track to becoming my fav D+ MCU show, the Andor that reignites my fandom.

    Wow. Patti LuPone. I need to rewatch, but I loved how it managed to make her time jumps coherent

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    Where would Sasserine fall on Greyhawk? I'm about to run Savage Tide adapted to 5e, and I didn't find it on the map.

    That was fun, but these flashback episodes after a big reveal are starting to get a little rote

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I've been fascinated by "The Mountain in the Sea" by Ray Nayler. It's about the discovery of a sentient species of octopus. The world building is quite good.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMs what do you think of the new PHB?

    Advantage/Disadvantage isn't gone, I just meant that is the only time you use two d20s to adjudicate most stuff. Each spell has which list it belongs to in their entry (except for subclasses), so Fireball says it's a Sorcerer/Wizard spell in the description.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMs what do you think of the new PHB?

    1. Removal of most contested checks and two-part resolution. Grappling, for example, is now a saving throw instead of a contested strength check. Spells that used to have both an attack roll and then a saving throw now only have one (initially). Beast stat blocks used to have an attack that...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMs what do you think of the new PHB?

    I am about 50/50 DM/Player, but I do expect to DM with the revised rules before I play a PC. And ... I'm pretty positive about the changes. While some rule changes might cause initial hiccups, there's been a solid push to streamline rules and speed up task resolution. The PHB is a lot cleaner...

    D&D 5E (2014) Beyond Level 20?

    The only time I've ever played past 20 was a 4e Epic tier one shot. Haven't played a 5e campaign past 12th level.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB - A much too early review

    So, finally got my hard copy. And I have to give the writers and designers a lot of credit, this is a well put together book. The reorganization and general improvements to readability and accessibility alone make this a worthy upgrade. Chapter One, in particular, is very well done. I think a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms Player Guide

    I'm amused that Baldur's Gate got the nod for urban adventures over Waterdeep, but I have to guess that it's due to the popularity of BG3, and that's fine with me.

    User Name and Avatars: Origin Stories

    After enjoying being an Owl with a top hat (art from the new PHB), I'm back to my Vorlon self. Awesome movie. Willem Dafoe ate, but the sleeper hit for me was Amy Madigan's McCoy. So good.
