    House of the Dragon v Lord of the Rings (poll)

    I find myself not caring for either one.

    Hand crossbow + Crossbow Expert + Sharpshooter.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D origins playtest survey is live

    The survey has So. Many. Typos. Which leads me to believe that this playtest process is nothing more than a pointless dog and pony show and WOTC is not taking it remotely seriously.

    Will the end of Game of Thrones keep you away from House of Dragons?

    When something in BCS (and BB for that matter) is predictable, it's because of all the logic that went into setting it up. Predictable is not a flaw. Subverting expectations for the sake of subversion is, and thankfully BCS didn't do that. The biggest moments in BCS' later seasons had little to...

    Will the end of Game of Thrones keep you away from House of Dragons?

    I couldn't disagree more. Every scene in BCS was necessary for all of its intricate character development and plotting, and it's why all of those moments of payoff hit the way they did.

    Will the end of Game of Thrones keep you away from House of Dragons?

    Huh? Better Call Saul ended brilliantly.

    Will the end of Game of Thrones keep you away from House of Dragons?

    It didn't keep me away from it. Dumb and Dumber aren't involved in this one, so that was reason to give this a chance. That said, I found this premiere a little too eager to shove all its parent show's greatest hits of gratuitous sex and gore into it, not all of which was necessary to move the...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB Feats and Misc discussion

    People actually play this game without feats? In the year 2022? Anyway, I hope these changes indicate that feats are going to be selected more often as you level up.

    Jedi: Survivor teaser trailer

    I'd love to be excited about this, since Jedi: Fallen Order was awesome, but this is still EA we're talking about here. Even if the first game in an EA series turns out great and generally free of EA's typical BS, the sequel is where said BS takes over and ruins it.

    D&D General Solasta: Crown of the Magister reaches 1.0!

    Talking about Baldur's Gate 3? Yeah, they changed the height bonus/penalty to +2/-2 a couple patches ago. It used to be full A/D. The change was definitely a step in the right direction.

    The Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Kinda): The Top 10

    It's a feature of an inherently flawed concept. Politicians being portrayed optimistically ruins my suspension of disbelief, especially when it's a show that clearly portrays a strong sense of verisimilitude otherwise. And the dialogue, well, it's Aaron Sorkin. And all the preachy and didactic...

    The Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Kinda): The Top 10

    Well, clearly, The West Wing hasn't influenced anyone to do good, either.

    The Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Kinda): The Top 10

    Well, I find depictions of an idealized America, and especially the American political system, to be a very distasteful and frankly dangerous concept nowadays. Especially when you compare it to a reality where it is indeed the people who have and will always get in the way of anything ideal ever...

    Which is EXACTLY why it doesn't work.

    The Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Kinda): The Top 10

    The problem is a lot of people watch that show and think that's how it actually works. The West Wing could work if it was explicitly a fairy tale, but it clearly doesn't present itself that way.

    The Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Kinda): The Top 10

    The West Wing has aged EXTREMELY poorly. And I would call its view on the world anything but "mature." "Naive" would be one word for it.

    The Greatest TV Shows of All Time (Kinda): The Top 10

    I would not include The Simpsons, criteria or not, because it has been bad for more than twice as long as it's been good. Seasons 1-8 remain fantastic, 9-10 are a mixed bag with some good episodes and others clearly showing signs of decline, and everything from 11 on is worthless trash.

    Your favorite TV/movie fight scene

    I saw Kill Bill mentioned, but not my favorite scene: Don't get me wrong, I loved all of the Part 1 climax as well, but the grittiness and dirtiness, yet still skillful display, of The Bride vs. Elle wins out in my eyes.

    My ratio of things I liked about The Last Jedi vs. things I hated is roughly 1:1. I hated literally everything about The Rise of Skywalker.
