    Ed Greenwood retweets homophobic Indiegogo campaign, is also Senior Editor on project

    I know in certain LGBTQIA comic circles the cancelled SafeSpace/SnowFlake NewWarriors line and the bisexual heroes storyline are often seen as examples of doing inclusion totally wrong and he could be trying to address that.... or he could just be slamming the door on any sort of inclusion and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I was going to bail on 5e during the OGL scandal, but I came back once they agreed to relent on the changes that they had planned and pushing the game into CC. However, the behavior of the wider 5e community on social media and YouTube since the OGL scandal is definitely dampening my...

    AI Art Removed From Upcoming Terminator RPG Book

    No shade on my digital artist friends, but if this AI backlash meant that we could get more classic style painted art, I would be thrilled. I just don't like a lot of the art styles that have proliferated since the shift to digital art.

    D&D General Allegations of AI Usage Cause unnecessary Controversy

    Indestructoboy is actually a really good designer and could go on to design for WotC, Paizo or even a video game developer if things like this didn't keep happening. He just needs to use more judgement and discretion with how he conducts himself and possibly look into those anger issues which...

    Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa Xmas Special & s1

    You can call the next series S1 or Season 1 all you want but it will always be Season 40 to me.

    D&D 5E (2024) How to answer the WOTC playtest survey....

    What kind of feedback do I need to give in the playtest survey to say "I don't like the playtest version of this class/feature/spell and think it is disruptive/poorly written/bad for the game , but I want WOTC designers to work more in this direction than the current version which is objectively...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Monk Discussion

    I love this idea, but I would personally call it something other than "Discipline Strike." Anytime you load up a class with a bunch of features with the same word at the beginning, some of my players get thrown by the descriptor. Some can't remember the difference between theoretically named...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Unearthed Arcana Playtest Includes Barbarian, Druid, and Monk

    I definitely agree with this. In fact, from what I see, I think that having some sort of ADHD might be a job requirement for being a TTRPG YouTuber judging from how a lot of them tackle these playtest packets. But given that, then what we are really dealing with is an accessibility issue, if...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Unearthed Arcana Playtest Includes Barbarian, Druid, and Monk

    Wizards probably should have a design note at the beginning of each of these sections saying that. I was watching YouTubers do streamthrough readings and analysis and several of them were scouring those sections for changes even though they had read the section in the beginning of the document...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Unearthed Arcana Playtest Includes Barbarian, Druid, and Monk

    I just wish they would make the level 20 capstone of every class "increase these two ability scores by four (maximum 26)." If you are going to break the ceiling for single classed Monks and Barbarians, break it for everyone who forgoes multiclassing and sticks to 20 levels of their class.

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    The Daleks in Colour was great, but could have been about 15 minutes long. Removing some of the plot sections in what would have been parts 3 and 4 of 7 by doing flashbacks and montages hurt it thematically. It felt like a modern superhero movie in the way it was edited and in its storytelling...

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    I am so looking forward to this. Also has anyone watched the Dalek colourization and revised Adventures in Space and Time yet?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Inclusivity Language Alterations In Core Rules

    "Savage" seems to be undergoing the same sort of drift that "oriental" has undergone . I would have a hard time imagining a corporate chain department store selling "oriental rugs" even though that usage was the encouraged one as recently as the 90s. I've seen people express discomfort over the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cartomancer Feat

    It is a poorly written feat. I have no idea how it made it to print this way. I would rule it that you expend the spell slot when "imbuing" the card and that it has to be a spell that you could normally cast. That isn't what is written, but that is how I am going to DM it if it comes up. I...

    The Fourteenth Doctor is Here! | BBC Children in Need 2023 | Doctor Who

    No, HBOMax or whatever Warner's is calling it, still has the rights to 2005-2022 Who for another couple of years in the US. I am surprised it is still on there given how much of HBO's original programming got dumped from the service over the past year or two to stop paying residuals.

    THE GARFIELD MOVIE - Official Trailer (HD)

    That looks dreadful. I don't think I am the target market for a 2024 CGI Garfield movie though.

    Are Superhero films dying?

    They should have just waited for the actor's strike to end before releasing this. While I think superhero fatigue is real wall to wall interviews on ABC in the US could have nudged that 65% male demographic into something more balanced. ‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Posts Lowest B.O...

    D&D General Anyone have the DC20 alpha? What do you think?

    Yeah, it seemed a little clickbaity for him. He sets straight what the video is about pretty quickly. I get where he was going with it though. I think that a lot of folks, Treantmonk included, were hoping that the 2024 WOTC "refresh"/"evolution" as well as the Tales of the Valiant/Black Flag...
