I think the basic problem is that "Din Djarin" was a throwaway, Star Wars name generator name, not a carefully chosen hero name, because he's supposed to be more of a "man with no name" figure whose actual name was trivial. Having characters call him "Mando" was one thing when we were in...

Episode 6 definitely had a lot of odd moments, and I wouldn't say it all worked for me 100%, but they really didn't hold back with any out-there ideas on this one. I liked seeing it turn into a sci-fi buddy cop show for the middle of the episode, even if it was an odd and abrupt turn. And even...

Just got back from the theater, and I'm going with 10 out of 10 for a high fantasy movie. It's a genre that so rarely fails to disappoint on screens large and small that you have to reward it when they actually hit a homerun. It was about as good as it could be. The hitting average for movies...

I mean, that's 100% on my bingo card for the show.

Starfleet Academy in the 32nd century. They've taken two of the Trek series ideas that don't particularly excite me and combined them into one worse idea I have no interest in at all. While I'm not as opposed as some to another 32nd century show, an academy based show seems like something that...

I'm basically happy with the balance of 5e spells. My priorities for 5.5 spells (if I had any intention of buying a 5.5 product) would be to implement broader and more interesting uses of upcasting mechanics, and to tweak a few spells that, whether good or bad, don't really live up to their...

I think the main thing that keeps me coming back to those adventures at this point is that, when DMing through a virtual tabletop, I can google any location in the module and get a detailed battlemap that someone has made for it. Our heroes want to get in a fight at any random building in...

While it sounds like the OP has a more generalized problem, I find that the WotC full-book release published adventures are particularly cumbersome to run. Basically I think they have more moving bits and pieces than the creative team can keep track of amongst multiple authors and though...

Jack, Jack, he's the Kwisatz Haderach.

I mean it does feel like it's kind of too late to establish any new entity as being the thing behind the big floating head big bad and make them a satisfying antagonist (or antagonist behind the antagonist), so my money is increasingly on it being something from Star Trek history. While I'd...

Wookiepedia votes a resounding "yes" (by which I mean a screenshot from this episode is already the main picture for his entry and the episode has only been up a few hours).

Back in college, the first assignment for my study abroad program in Rome was to go find every ancient obelisk in the city. At the time I assumed that would be my only obelisk hunt.

I had to vote "No", because, lets face it, no matter what direction your coming at it from, a WotC version of Darksun created in the 2020s is not going to make you happy (and that's assuming it doesn't just end up being mediocre simply because half their setting books end up mediocre). I don't...

So it seems part of the idea is that because they were having the cynical, black ops nostalgic easter egg facility of Daystrom station they wanted to balance it out by having the idealistic nostalgic easter egg facility of the Fleet Museum in the same episode (I mean a more morally ambiguous...

Maybe. Personally I think it's more likely that their media obnoxiously obsessed over "our lost crew in the Delta quadrant" for a couple years, that Voyager was an obligatory thing for every Trivial Pursuit edition for the next half century or so to have a question about, and that referencing...

Well, a genetically engineered attack tribble anyway.

I mean parts of the city could have actual landmass under them. A small island city eventually expanding into a sprawling Venice makes a lot of sense, and the original city becoming all government fortress, with associated dungeon, or all a temple enclave, with associated catacombs, is...

I'm sorry Den of "Geek" (yeah I can use dismissive scare quotes too), but what are these movies where the stakes are higher than I feel playing a ttrpg? Sure ttrpg plots are often dumb, throw-away things, but (outside, perhaps, of certain revived nostalgic touchstones which usually disappoint) a...

Presumably Paramount is responsible for the promotion rather than Hasbro. When it comes to things that can be achieved just by handing more money to an ad agency they're pulling out all the stops. When it comes to anything that would actually require time from WotC or Hasbro design staff, they...
