Back to statues... We're also fond of "Big" things. These are statues/monuments almost always made out of fibreglass and intended as tourist attractions for small towns. The Big Banana, The Big Prawn, The Big Merino, The Big Pineapple. My personal favourite is The Big Potato. It's a long...

We are quite proud of that one.

Both have their place. For most games I prefer rote lists. It's just quicker and easier. In some games, e.g. Hero System, players can devise their own lists as part of character creation/advancement. But then some games, e.g. Ars Magica, make on the fly spell creation a thing. And Ars Magica...

Iman Vellani as Ms Marvel.

John Williams wrote Dr Jones? Well, I learned something new today.

This spider also creeps me out. Noice.

I've seen quite a few videos with what I'm gonna call "bard-like pizza delivery."

Getting back to elven bards... My favourite PC over the last few years is my wife's elven bard. (Their mum is an elf, their father is an assimar planes-walking douche bag of a dead-beat dad.) The bard ticks all the cross-dressing, fabulous, pansexual clichés we expect from bards. But that's...

Back when I joined ENWorld I definitely drank too much. In my defence, my job sucked. A lot. I wanted the name to be some sort of play on "DnD." I was sitting at my desk and still pretty tipsy from the night before when inspiration struck. I thought it was very funny. Did I mention I was still...

30 degrees? That's spring where I grew up. Not summer til it hits 35 degrees and 80% humidity.

What, no Anne Bronze-tay? What does The Tennant of Wildfell Hall have to do to get a bit of respect?

Gorgeous. Where's that? When I was in NZ a few years back I went to The Bay of Islands. Looking out at it and how beautiful it is I immediately thought - this is where they should shoot an Earthsea movie/series.

It might be a bunch of people. I know I've got longish ignore list. I could not get past the motion sickness inducing opening. It was actually my "realisation I've fallen into the generation gap moment." I wanted to see it because I was psyched to see Racer X doing bad ass Racer X stuff...

I am mildly arachnophobic. I find your spider mildly triggering. Nice job. :) I like the Chaos sign on the abdomen.

Holiday Special needs to be close to the top. Sure, at the time I could not see the... I'm gonna call it genius... that was this show. Now as an adult I can say that sometimes you just got to enjoy something for the terrible piece of art it is. Grab some beers, grab some mates, enjoy. Caveat...

Optimisers can be handled. I personally think one should do it by talking to the player. Like most (all) issues at the gaming table, talk it out as a group. I see it as a matter of schtick protection. Player 1 wants to do X. Player 2 wants to do Y. So the group should try to make this happen...

Best movies of the 21st C? Hmmmmm Spirited Away is a lovely movie, so I'll second that one for consideration. Banshees of Inisherin is an amazing movie. I'd call it perfect. In Bruges is also an amazing movie, but not as good as Banshees, IMO. Moonlight. Just beautiful and moving. Also perfect...

Not joking, I would watch that.

Re. furry LotR. I don't see any reason to have one of Tolkien's races to map to any single species. Choose an animal based on a character's personality. Sam - dog. Merry and Pippin - cats. There's a reason the phrase "cat herding" is a thing. Aragorn - stag. Gimli - badger. Boromir - bull...

Agreed! Some of those muppets: LotR characters are very good. Others... not so sure.
