Yeah, as much as I want FF to be great and do well, I remember this same Bally-hooing before Brave New World and Thunderbolts.

That block has another pet peeve of mine, though. In this case, magical blades that do incredible damage but have a specific clause that means they can’t be used by the players. I find the particularly cheesy.

I’m of the opinion that it’s really, really hard to screw up a burger and what separates these places are the fries or onion rings. For me, we have a chain called BurgerFi that does great fries, and a burger that’s on par with Shake Shack, In and Out, Five Guys, etc.

Used sparingly as they are intended, I’m totally good with it. They’re not the same kind of deadly as previous editions, but still having death on the table as a possible outcome is good for the game overall.

I never understood that either. They could have just made Tron Flynn’s username from the get-go and it’d have fixed everything.

Unrelated vent: Dude acted like a giant pissbaby and I’m glad to get confirmation the reason he was acting so turned out to be completely invalid.

Where is your flair? The minimum is 15 pieces of flair.

I don’t know that fans actually care or whether it’s the attempt by the producers to create an illusion of a consistent universe and canon, but it’s one that’s ultimately doomed to fail. At some point, they will want a new Wolverine, or a new Spider-Man, or a new Tony Stark. And at some point...

This sounds like every criticism of Salvatore’s books going back to 1988.

There is no RPG related book that I need to read. So if the author of a book consistently comes across as a jerk, I have no problem disregarding their book. Separate the art from the artist is entirely at my discretion, thank you very much.

That version has some solid episodes too.

Twilight Zone marathons still suck me in every time I see one. Ditto The Outer Limits and lastly a big shoutout to Night Gallery, which never got enough love.

Well, it’s restating an OSR maxim that I personally think is poorly thought out in its original form and this just included an example I really didn’t agree with.

If it weren’t for her absence in the last quarter of the first season combined with the “bother decision” nature of the not showing up in S2, I’d chalk it up to just people moving on, being busy, whatever.

Right. 2014 D&D was in a far different position than 2024 D&D as well. No matter what I may personally think of the current edition or the company overall, this still feels like calling the game when the score is 0-0 in the second inning. (Yay, sports analogies!)

Clearly it’s the end times.

Sure seems like today’s theme is if you’re not on the social medias 24/7, your game in this wonderful industry is toast, to which I say it can’t be much of an industry if that’s the case.

Has some sales number dropped that I’m not aware of pointing to a lack of success for the new edition that I’m unaware of?

https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/the-pitt-tracy-ifeachor-exits-heather-collins-season-2-1236452804/ That’s surprising and disappointing given that she wasn’t in the last handful of episodes of S1.

That is one topic that I will happily stay away from because it’s so radioactive right now.
