    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    Nothing stopping you buying standard print books. No use to me, my eyesight isn’t good enough to read a print book.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    chapters!? What do you expect? This will be magazine article level media, not a book. And if it’s worth saving (which I doubt) it’s worth taking the time to edit it into your preferred format.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    Sure, and there are lots of storks that pose an existential threat to every frog in the pond, and you are focused on something so utterly trivial! You know what, I’ve lost all my print stuff from the 80s, and - it doesn’t matter, I’ve moved on. Everything is ephemeral, hoarding print media until...

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    There are much more serious dooms facing us than not being able to access some stuff we got for free in a few years. I put it to you that you are the frog, to busy worrying about the water temperature to notice the stork.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Maybe the Blackstaff woman as well. She is a bit underexposed, compared to the others.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Jarlaxle is a more interesting character, and the party is already heavy with front liners, they needed a rogue. They need a cleric too. But maybe the cleric is painting the picture. Maybe they borrowed Sosiel from Pathfinder. I would expect to see other characters, including Dizzt, in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    An “unknown” is a no one. No one is going to by a product because they like Generic Extra 4.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    If only one person decides to buy the book because they enjoyed BG3 and recognised Karlach, that one more sale than you would have had if it had been a generic tiefling barbarian. Speaking as someone who dabbles a bit in art, there is an issue with this art - it's too posed (ironically, also an...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Sure. But there will be a lot more people who recognise characters from BG3 than any other D&D characters. And for the people who don’t recognise them, they are a party of generic adventurers, same as SCAG.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    Gunn is blaming Anti-American sentiment for the poor international performance of Superman, and the Four, with its focus on the nuclear family, is if anything even more American.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    It’s the voice acting that makes Astarion work. But it’s a matter of if you like humour in that style or not. I found the DA:I companions boring and humourless. Taken together, the BG3 companions form a party of Guardians of the Galaxy style misfits. Which is a good match to how we play D&D...

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    Technically, the Outer Planes are not part of the Forgotten Realms, however she does mention the Gith creche on the Tears of Selune in the game.

    JURASSIC WORLD 4: Rebirth Trailer 2

    Did you miss the bit where they explained that it was the hidden shrine of Tamoachan?

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    The character portrayed by Will Smith is a dedicated police officer, not a self-centred psychopath.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    This, surprisingly enough, can be a problem. Consider the self guiding vehicle. Now, consider the moral dilemma presented in the I Robot movie: the robot chooses to save the person they have a high chance of saving, rather than the person that they have a slim chance of saving. The trouble is...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    That's a matter of theology, and therefore not something we can discuss here. I mentioned real world belief systems being an important factor (which we cannot discuss) much earlier in this thread.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Many people believe the GM of the real world can control the weather.
