Well I didn't know that. I'll accept that.

Orcs whatever let's get to my list of real gripes. The Lich removes the Phylactery and replaces it with a Spirit Jar. Seriously we have to dumb down the game because the word is obscure and hard to spell. Full disclosure had to look up how it was spelled. Why don't we just change the name...

Except it's slow as heck with combat rounds taking forever. And even slower if each player is running a PC and a few henchman. Run a old school dungeon crawls with 1e, 2e, or B/X and then run the same one with 5e and compare the progress made each session. Huge difference. Sure 5e combat is...

I think part of the fun is if somethings are just tradition even if they are not great. My Nachos are a passion project, but I'll also cook up some mediocre store brand mini pizza bagles. Not cause they are great just cause they fit the mood.

My kid found one on the Mummy. I went page by page on Wednesday night with my three year old. They asked every page what the monster picture was. For the Mummy they quickly pointed out it wasn't wrapped.

I read that and jumped to the conclusion a Xaren is a Xorn that has a inflated sense of entitlement and demands to speak with the manager when it doesn't get what it wants.

Sometimes I look at a board game and think wow that looks fun, but then I say. I don't have space for that huge box. Take Ogre for example, the size of the box grew from something you could throw in your jacket pocket to something that probably didn't fit in the trunk of your car...

I missing having all the NPC in the back. It was much easier. Also it would be nice if they put things like stirges in with the rest of the animals, you have flying snakes back there so it's not like it's just real world creatures.

Bill Paxton as Tanis: "game over man game over, we aren't going to last 17 turns" Sigorney Weaver as Raistlin: " this little gully dwarf survived with no weapons and no training"

2e took the complicated rules of 1e and made them simpler, easier to understand, and better organized. It increased the crunch level of PC creation by including things like proficiency, weapon specialization, specialist clerics and magic users, and eventually kits. But not to the level of 3e...

Back in the 90s our GM ran us on a Shadowrun adventure that was basically JP. Not a great system for it as Dhadowrun already has plenty of critters far worse than dinos so they lose there impact. That GM would usually run his adventures based on the last movie he watched. One time midway...

It's easy to search Square Crawl and I take accountability seriously.

Like part of Duran Duran, so I guess just Duran?

B/X. Going to take the Caves of Chaos and spread the caves out over a large area on a small mountain. Celebrate 50 years with a classic.

Im getting mine today havent loved the 5.5 stuff so far, but maybe use the tougher momsters from the 2024 Monster Manual and 2014 PHB for PCs. Ramp up the danger.

I've never played BG3 but it would be pretty sweet if they built a way to send your character from BG3 to D&D Beyond. Then BG3 players could build a first level PC in BG3 and use it in a table top game. Offcourse BG3 is now a edition behind.

I'm 100% down with The Keep, but I think a box with BG3 sells better. Outside of our hobby the Keep doest have a fan base.

Yeah a BG3 starter box set would have been my priority if I was in charge of WOTC. You got a base that already understands the basic of the rules try to convert them. Also I've never played BG3 but I assume you could build an adventure adjacent to the video game that makes it feel like bonus...

I assume the Hobgoblins will be the main bad guys in the new Keep on the Boardeland starter set. So buckle up!
