    The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)

    Just saw it today and enjoyed it a great deal. It's a D&Der's movie without a doubt. Quite a bit more humor than in the first and fewer milked ominous/contemplative moments than the first, too. A few twists that weren't too well hidden but perhaps unexpected for someone expecting just a...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you're playing a dungeon campaign, what is a good level to end off at?

    My first thought as well. Availability being the crux of that situation. The danger in this type of campaign isn't so much that players will get bored but more so that they'll feel handled. Most games exist because of the illusion of agency that persists and players giving up some of that to...

    This Weekend @ The BoxOffice: 2016_Apr.10

    Slipped out to see Risen yesterday. Great production values but the second half is definitely heavy with religion, as one would suspect. The opening battle scene was pretty damned good. Well acted all around.

    Well, we know he's fairly wise, choosing to write the YA book under a pseudonym. Just look at what the adults are doing with his name . . .

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    I think we tend to forget that D&D has a huge value to WotC and Hasbro that far outweighs its revenue stream. It's been around twice as long as MtG, has cred with gamers who have never even played it, and is used as part of the common vernacular in ways that most games including MtG will likely...

    [UPDATED] Green Ronin Finds Religion In D&D 5E's BOOK OF THE RIGHTEOUS

    It would seem it will be the same stuff except with adjusted rules content, yes? Which would seem to mean a PF version would have only slightly different content, yes? Fobs are all the rage, don't you know . . .

    At the point I jumped in, of those who weren't neutral on the subject or posting just regarding Leeds, most were expressing trepidation. I was discussing a point of semantic gymnastics in their description of the new guy's experiences with the "brands." Someone else, however, seemed to be...

    C and E might seem an overreach in expectations given you cannot trade in a hardcover for a paperback and cannot cannot replace your copy of a book for free if you lose it, or it becomes damaged beyond reading, regardless if the company goes out of business or not. However, I do think if a...

    Either is face value. One or the other is only cynical if someone has a stake in the opposite interpretation. Nevertheless, Last week I was discussing all the recent job postings with some other folks and we wondered if something even bigger was coming. This would seem to be something bigger...

    How different could a Pathfinder version be from the 3.XE version? Have the people asking for a PF version seen the 3.XE original version?
