    Spoilers True detective season 4 spoiler

    I would put season 4 behind Season 2. A good build up with excellent actors. But the finale was a big disappointment about the explanation of the death of the researchers and lack of physical evidence at the scene of their disappearance and location of their death. I found the finale a huge...

    Is TTRPGing an "Expensive Hobby"

    It can be as cheap or expensive as you want. In all likelihood it will be the GM who spends the most on books. If you find a game you love it may be a one off purchase and you play that game for the rest of your life. I have players who in 30 years have spent nothing on RPGs. They turn up roll...

    Podcast #280: AI Art Controversy in RPGs...Again

    I agree about the negative videos with the presenter having a surprised expression....fed up of these videos and I have unsubscribed to many of the content creators. Ironically most of them got their fame and subscribers on the back of 5e content and now they spend all their effort having a go...

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    For me it's war films that use the wrong kit The biggest one was The Battle of the Bulge where the used M48 Patton's (a US Korean war tank) as German Tigers and M24 Chaffee (at least used in WW2) as Shermans

    WotC Updates D&D's AI Policy After YouTuber's False Accusations

    I wish these angry anti 5e content-makers would channel their energy into making positive news about other products they like instead of just dishing one company they don't like. I have unsubscribed from many, it's also a sad state of affairs that many people believe everything they read on the...

    D&D General How Do You "Roll Up" Ability Scores?

    We switched a couple of years ago so that all our games use the standard stat array and average HP. Everyone happy now after a period of several players consistently rolling poorly for stats and HP.

    D&D 5E (2024) How long should a Short rest be in 5E(2024)?

    I like the Lord of the Rings 5e version of short rest: a short rest during a journey is 8 hours where players can only sleep or carry out light activities, 24 hours after the end of a journey a short rest reverts back to 1 hour.

    D&D 5E (2014) Doctors & Daleks - Cubicle 7 Brings Doctor Who to D&D 5E

    I think Cubicle 7 did a great job of converting Middle Earth into 5e with Adventures in Middle earth. We are 34 session into a campaign and find it familiar enough with the 5e rule mechanics to run but with some great changes to give a Middle Earth feel (Journey, Audience and Fellowship...
