    What is the largest animal that you think you could beat in a fight?

    I think my limit is big dogs. The largest breed in the world gets up to 230lb/104kg. That's big, but I'm bigger. They also have some some weaknesses that other animals can't really exploit, but a human can. Just have to make sure you don't let them get on top of you and focus on their eyes...

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

    Somehow, through multiple playtests, I have missed that fact that Topple targets Constitution and not Strength. What an odd choice.

    Thanks for coming back with an answer. Guess my mind was filling that bit in. How did you like your rewatch? Anything stand out for you?

    Name some of your best Party Origin methods

    My "meeting at a tavern" is starting on a boat that will make port in a day or two*. Whether the characters knew each other or not before the trip they at least have met and know each other a little now. The act of completing the journey to port gives them all a reason to work together should...

    It's been a few weeks since I saw it, but didn't they mention the rifts were closed and the water planet survived? I swear it was a line someone said at the end of the film.

    D&D General How Do You "Roll Up" Ability Scores?

    For 5e based D&D we've been doing point buy. I've tried breaking the habit, but that's what the table wants. It's usually one of 27-point, 27-point + feat, or 30-point. I've wanted to do 3d6 and then let players choose from ability scores/feats/items similar to the draft style that people did...

    It doesn't go away. She learns to be part of a team again, but she's still her.

    Spoilers The Marvels (Spoilers)

    I forgot to add the flying into the sun bit to revive Hala's star. From a story perspective its good that she realizes she played a part in this and needs to step up and fix things. The how part of that raises a lot of questions that are best left alone. Or maybe she had the Quantum bands on to...

    Spoilers The Marvels (Spoilers)

    Just saw this. Pardon the stream of consciousness. Should you see it in theaters? I think so. The movie was fun. It had a silliness to it that would feel at home in a GotG movie. Unlike GotG 3, The Marvels doesn't have the same heart to balance that silliness. That's to be expected. This isn't...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    The joke is that the war wasn't going to happen because the loom's failsafe destroys anything but the sacred timeline. So no war. Just reset. But Loki broke the failsafe, ending the loop, and putting war back on the menu. We as an audience knew the war was coming from Quantumania, but that...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    I'll take a stab at it. He Who Remains won the multiversal war. He knows what it takes to do that and works to ensure that attempts at undoing his victory (branching timeliness with Kang variants) will fail. The whole Ouroborus/Mobius infinite loop thing. With this knowledge and power he kind...

    SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE - Official Trailer

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse is on Netflix now (at least in the US). It was nice to get a rewatch in and my excitement for part 3 is rejuvenated.

    Wasn't expecting Timely to get the Mr. Fantastic spaghetti treatment. We'll see how it all shakes out in future episodes, but I am excited by this show's ability to surprise me.

    D&D General D&D is a Team Sport. What are the positions?

    I'm going to try this with volleyball. Have I ever played volleyball in a structured setting? No. Have I watched a lot of volleyball? No. Will any of this be accurate? Maybe. Will I defend my choices? Hard pass. Setter: not surprisingly this position is in charge of setting up the offense and...

    D&D 5E (2014) WOTC Possibly Removing "Druids" for Religious/Cultural Sensitivity Reasons

    Well this has sent me down a rabbit hole. I could've told you that Druids had a priestly or shamanic role in Celtic societies and were pretty much wiped out during the Christianization of the British Isles. But that is about it. Some neat things I learned: It seems that Druid and Bard both come...

    D&D 5E (2024) What variant rules do you want to see?

    Zones instead of 5 foot measurements. Love me some zones. I prefer it over distance bands, but those are good too. A multiclassing system that has a different progression for each class compared to that class' progression if they didn't multiclass. Something closer to the progressions from the...
