    D&D 5E (2014) Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    I'm not sure I'd give someone the slaad host secret without the player's buy-in. When it comes up, they may be ok with it... or they may not.

    Is there life on Maaaaaaars! (er, Venus)

    Right now we have no capacity to rescue it. But we could conceivably preserve it, create a sample biome and keep some alive here on earth. But would we? Cui bono?

    D&D 5E (2014) New Errata & Advice For D&D Issued

    Well, the ruling is the ruling. The explanation of the ruling is wrong, though. I guess they find it hard to say "we stuffed up". Doesn't everyone?

    D&D General Hero Forge in Color Is Open For Busniess!

    Given that the printed figures use non-metallic plastic, the metals come out a uniform flat colour. I might print them out black, then paint them myself with metallic paints. And from what people have shown on the FB page, a careful ink wash at the edges of things on the mini will bring out the...

    Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden -- A Comprehensive Review

    So why aren't any of the gods getting involved, at least indirectly?

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    A question I'd ask: Who did the Ten Towns worship before Auril made her demands/presence known? Why haven't any of those gods intervened? There's a good chance a PC will be a cleric of a deity, and will want to know this.

    Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden -- A Comprehensive Review

    Firstly, I'd certainly make the sacrifices instructed directly from Auril. "Do this or you all die." Perhaps the serial killer was a wandering prophet, first? And after a town refuses, an entire household is found the next morning, family frozen solid. I'm sure no fictional god receives human...

    D&D General The "DM's PC"

    Last time I used a DMPC was when I was running a Star Wars game. He was a jawa engineer, and so I mostly had him stay in the space-ship while the three PC's were out dealing with imperial complications. Occasionally I used him for R2D2-style comedy relief.

    Curiosity about smartphone ownership

    What was the nature of the inquiry such that "zero" was not a relevant answer? Asking as another who has never owned a phone smarter than a watch.

    She Hulk on Disney+

    I'd lay money on them going for the early version, where Jennifer hulks and dehulks. First, under emotional stresses, and then later as she gains control. That will be season 1. Whether she becomes permanently hulked in season 2+ will depend on the ratings, the budget, the writers, and whether...

    She Hulk on Disney+

    Let's hope the writing on the show is better than this. We know it can be, from the Marvel tv shows. Whatever your opinion of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Punisher, or Jessica Jones, they weren't sit-com level stereotypes. And I think the various show-runners know streaming customers demand more than that.
