Both the Wizard and their Simulacrum can cast Mighty Fortress, for a combined 200 unseen servants who unlike their Magnificent Mansion cousins are, depending on how you read the spell, able to leave the Fortress. So 1 minute (and 1,000 gold in diamonds) in and you've already got an army of hands...

As I gathered. My point was simply that when a DM with a modicum of system mastery hears that someone wants to roll up a small race bladesinger with lance as their bladesinger weapon, they're natural conclusion is that the player has visions of filling their game with mastiff cheese, whether...

I think the whole "we've got to kill support for this game so that we can create a new game with the old game's branding and call it a new 'edition'" model of ttrpg creation is terrible. I would like to see every game get refined through several iterative editions (what the word "edition" means...

I see nothing in the rules against it, though it certainly goes against the spirit of the rules. Really my only compunction is that the whole "small pc on a mastiff" thing often turns into the mastiff getting abstracted away whenever it becomes complicated or inconvenient, and the PC just...

The Magician climbed the stairs. Midnight found him in his study, poring through leather-bound tomes and untidy portfolios … At one time a thousand or more runes, spells, incantations, curses, and sorceries had been known. The reach of Grand Motholam — Ascolais, the Ide of Kauchique, Almery to...

There's yet to be a bad Toy Story movie, and I can totally imagine a universe where Toy Stories 3 and 4 were not made with the end of the series in mind and where a final act was warranted. It probably will be an adequate sequel, but when you've already done a movie that were clearly made with...

Only if you do it right.

This show is really one of the most successful adaptations of any piece of media into tv show form I've ever seen. Season 1 took a little while to find its groove (or for me to adjust to its groove), but season 2 was just firing on all cylinders from beginning to end (admittedly maybe a little...

Personally I would hate playing a character so locked in to one repetitive strategy (especially one involving turns of just taking the Dodge action), and I don't think it really pays off at a lot of tables. But it seems to be what the powerbuilders of the land of Theorycraftia love most, and it...

They are, though it did just occur to me that I have no idea how that relates to the mysterious pathfinder home-game era of Campaign 1. While WotC has no claims to a large person with the given name Goliath, "Goliath" being the name for a grey skinned race of mountain-dwelling giant-kin is a...

Also, if it hadn't started out as a Pathfinder game, where all Rangers got animal companions, I don't think we would have had Trinket the bear, because nobody with a choice has ever picked Beastmaster Ranger in 5e.

It is worth noting that Galaxy's Edge not doing the evidently unrealistic numbers Disney hoped for their overall short-term ticket sales (to the extent that it forced an executive's resignation) does not mean it is unpopular or some sort of failure. And while Disney parks have to have a big new...

I mean, I don't think they were "competing with themself" at Disneyland, they were just driving more traffic to Disneyland. The situation in Orlando is a little more complicated, because they put it at a less popular park in a multipark resort. Fundamentally I think the real problem is that...

Well sort of. Disney goes through phases of spending lavishly on their parks and phases of trying to penny pinch. And the rest of the industry seems to spend whatever they feel they need to to compete with Disney. If Universal Studios didn't have Harry Potter land, and felt like they were...

That video's definitely what I thought of with Evermore. To summarize some key points (based on memory from months ago) for those who don't have the three hours: Evermore has never really come together, has, as the primary attraction, interactions with costumed cast members and occasional...

Hey, if you get something written by a person consider yourself lucky. Z-grade clickbait is what AI chatbots were born to write.

I assume D&D Beyond and whatever mediocre VTT Wizards eventually unveils will have some content sales methods that people complain about. So long as I can keep buying things in dead tree form that has zero impact on my life. And if WotC wants to play hardball and stop supporting my playing the...

While I think it's a little silly to complain about anything being in the Forgotten Realms, as if the setting still had any thematic integrity, I actually agree that this goes beyond what I would include in my version of the Forgotten Realms, or in most other settings I would use, so it sounds...

Of all the people I've played with I've really only see out and out cheating in small children. I'm sure there are adults who cheat outright, and I suppose if you include every ambiguous cheating-adjacent behavior (like being much more likely to bring up rules mistakes you made when it benefits...

A simple 2nd edition of the 5e PHB that brings it up to date with later 5e materials and maybe presented things a little clearer for newbies is all I actually wanted "new edition"-wise, and I'd be happiest if they just scrapped this whole OneD&D random remix project. But I'm pretty confident...
