    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    I'd argue one is always malicious when one is choking the life out of someone.

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Other Force traditions interest me, but I've never been a fan of "Grey" Jedi, as it seems to be "I just want to Force Choke and Lightning people without falling to the Dark Side".

    D&D 5E (2014) Monstrous Compendium Eldraine Creatures

    $6 CDN is not a bad deal, but I hesitate. Glad to see more MTG cards made into monster statblocks, and Eldraine is a fun setting.

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    I wonder if it'd have been better if I just waited for the full series before binging. Because, while each episode has been a vibe, I'm just still thinking that the pacing has been glacial. That said, loving the design work here. The patchwork stormtroopers, the battered Star Destroyer all look...

    D&D 5E (2024) Limiting Short Rests to 2x/day

    So, a question for pre-4e DnD players ... what was "attrition" like in those editions? Because it's being viewed as a core part of the game, and admittedly, I only have a bit of 3.5 experience. And there, at least for me, the assumption was only spell caster spell slots are attritted (which, of...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    More to the point, (and insert "I am not a programmer" here), from what I've heard, the only ways to capture said data is either illegal under some data laws and/or requires a fair amount of spyware. Which is a bit rich given Unity acquired a company that had a history of making malware.

    D&D 5E (2024) Are You Happy with the Selection of Subclasses?

    Draconic Sorcerers get the rough equivalent of 4 spells that they don't ever have to cast: Mage Armor, False Life, Fly and Protection From Energy (for one element). I've played 2014 Draconic Sorcerers, and yes, spell selection and metamagic was restrictive, but I managed then, and it's fine now...

    D&D 4E Int for Druids

    Because of how 4e defenses are done, you are disincentived from pushing both stats for a defense. So pushing both Int and Dex is not a great idea, but either is viable. So you can make a Wisdom and Intelligence focused Druid and not lose out on AC and Reflex.

    Digging Into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk

    The Mindflayer stuff is new, right? I've not read the OG Phandelver adventure.

    D&D 5E (2024) What's your favorites new subclass?

    I'll admit, I almost always play spell casters, so the Brawler and World Tree are okay, but don't interest me like the Dance or Seas subclasses do. Between the two ... I'm going to give it to the College of Dance, aside from some needed clarifications, it looks like a lot of fun.

    Digging Into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk

    TBF, it looks like everyone was surprised by how successful BG3 has been.

    D&D 5E (2014) Companion Thread to 5E Survivor - Adventures

    I've run a one or two Saltmarsh modules and found them solid. Witchlight read very well, but I've yet to run it, debating doing so.

    D&D 5E (2024) Are You Happy with the Selection of Subclasses?

    Happy? ... eh? Let's say ... these aren't the choices I'd have made, but looking at the whole it's fine. There's a decent diversity of character options. Sure, Wizard and Clerics are looking at the long list they got in 2014 and sighing, and I'll agree that reprinting subclasses from Tasha's...

    The Pumpkin Pie Spice RPG Contest Discussion Thread

    I'm just not the biggest nutmeg fan, our family recipe for Pumpkin Pie uses the other spices and adds orange rind, even when I make spiced cakes or cookies, I tend to omit or lower the amount of nutmeg. Aside from that ... I don't get the hubbub.

    What is the best chain fast food restaurant?

    Canadian, so several of these I've never dined at ... I only know of White Castle because of the movie. For fried chicken, Popeyes used to be the standard, but I found the biscuits don't feel buttery, they feel stodgy. And after discovering Mary Brown's, I haven't gone back. Great chicken, I...

    Favorite superhero RPGs?

    I've not had good luck with superhero RPGs. I ran a short "Heroes" like campaign in FATE Accelerated that was the best experience, even though the players were having fun, it was my second time GMing Fate and I was having a difficult time. Masks has a very limited scope, so I felt like I was...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D24 Spellcaster Subclasses: Thematic Unity

    Yeah, as I said before, these aren't the ones I would have chosen, but looking at the list as a whole this is a solid list that covers a lot of themes and variety.
