Hi All, I found this weeks episode to be much more entertaining and balanced. The writers still have the unfortunate habit of trotting out the 'disobey a direct order' trope. It is fast becoming a cliche which completely negates the purpose of a chain of command especially when in all instances...

Had hopes for the new season of Discovery as I have been a major Trekker since I first watched the original series in the '60s. This is only my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but the show runners have somehow managed to make Star Trek almost unwatchable. Michael continues to add to her...

Just binge watched the entire 10 episodes of S3 of Travelers. No spoilers but 2018 continues to provide some of the best shows that I've ever seen Counterparts, Innocent, and now Travelers. I wasn't sure how they could followup on Season 2 but the show-runners have out done themselves. Well...

Hi All, Just looking at some of the art from Art & Arcana and I saw something that I never really noticed before, the Dave Trampier painting from the 1st Edition PHB includes an excellent drawing of a 10ft hallway. As I recall many of the original TSR modules used 10ft hallways with 10ft...

The other day I was browsing at my FLGS Strange Adventures when one of the ever-knowledgeable staff pointed out something new. If you get the chance to pick-up Rolled & Told I highly recommend it. It's kind of a combination comic-book and 5e module. The art is just awesome and the adventure and...

I have to say that I wasn't totally impressed with the various Hardback Adventures that WOTC has put out for 5e, but wow the last three rules supplements they have put out (MTofF, XGtoE, and VGtoM) are excellent! I really enjoy the way these volumes are much more than just player's guides, DM's...

I understand that according to the rules there is no disadvantage when shoving or grappling an invisible foe. If your perception is able to overcome their stealth check you know where they are and can employ these actions without penalty. This is just one of the rules that I find I have trouble...

Personally i wouldn't allow such a choke action because it is just like a called shot to hamstring or to blind an opponent it is too specific. In my view D&D has always had the issue where in order for unarmed combat to be 'realistic' it should offer an option to KO or restrain an opponent...

I have to say. I love that art.

What about Winter is Coming? I thought that the winters in Westeros lasted years, and basically all of the kingdoms would have to hunker down. That the storms were a defining characteristic of the world. Shouldn't we start to see the effects of the oncoming winter or does it only affect the North?

That sea battle was the first time that I got up to go to the bathroom and didn't bother pausing the episode. This is really bad writing -- introducimg a new villain that we didn't even hear about for the first five seasons just so Cersei has a credible ally in the last two seasons? An...

Hey All, Been DM'ing 5e since it came out but we only play once a week and my memory isn't what it used to be and I have a question. 1. Attack rolls against a prone creature have advantage and the creatures 'attack rolls' are at disadvantage which is pretty clear, however say the prone...

This absolutely sucks. He will be missed.

Just started reading through the lead-up modules to the C&C megadungeons Aufstrag and I have to say that I have never seen more confusing maps than the ones in the Wicked Cauldron. I usually love complex maps as they provide characters with multiple options (as well as their opponents the same)...

Just had a dawning realization: In Star Wars (the first film) Darth Vader ostensibly tortures Leia to learn more about the rebels and the stolen plans. His line about 'it may be some time...her resistance to the mind probe is considerable' takes on a whole new meaning when you find out later...

Just curious if a character is blocking a doorway with an ally directly behind them -- what happens if a opponent uses the push action against the character. Does a) The opponents attempt to push automatically fail since there is no free area behind the character b) If the opponent is successful...

Just got back from seeing this for the second time. I have to say it is one of those movies that is better on a rewatch. I did enjoy it the first time (My daughter and I went to see a matinee on Friday) but this time I really liked the characters, the story, and I particularly enjoyed the music...

Cool little download. But I have to comment on the name of the town Glavas Roh. The grey mouser's hedge-wizard master was named -- Glavos Rho. Now that is a name that I've not heard in long, long time....

I have noticed quite a lot of threads where polymorphing a party member into a t-rex is considered a viable option. Just curious but wouldn't an obvious downside be the int=2. Your character retains their personality but you now have the reasoning ability of a very very stupid beast. No more...

Hi Just curious if anyone knows the rule for movement while blinded or in darkness (total obscure-ment). I believe it should probably be treated as difficult terrain but I can't find anything in the books. MK
