    D&D 5E (2014) Toward a new D&D aesthetics

    Hell Plate Armor is an anachronism if we're limiting it to 12th century

    D&D 5E (2014) Toward a new D&D aesthetics

    Honestly from a pure horror perspective there's no D&D art that I've found more upsetting than the 5e duodrone. Which was mentioned as one of the "meant for kids" concepts earlier.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ajit George Talks About Radiant Citadel's Creators

    He was the editor connected to Graeme Barber's section of Candlekeep Mysteries and the controversy around that is probably the reason.

    D&D 5E (2014) Here's A Look At 3 Adventures from the Radiant Citadel

    There's more rules for combat because while I can talk to the DM without issue, they usually get mad if I start swinging a sword at them.

    Hell we're only two weeks removed from Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther, getting the cops called on him for trying to make a withdrawal at the bank

    D&D 5E (2014) My Five Favorite Things From Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep

    If you want to be technical, Laura Bailey made a trickery cleric for a pair of one shots on other channels (KindaFunny and Gamespot) and in picking an interesting sounding god from the options provided in the subclass landed on The Traveler, which she carried over with some adjustments (Artagan...

    D&D 5E (2014) My Five Favorite Things From Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep

    According to Perkins "All of the story beats and big plot points, and settings were all created by Matt Mercer, and he basically handed off his outline and all of his notes to [James Haeck]. The two of them executed on the story, fleshed out the locations and created the monster bestiary with...

    Why modern movies suck - they teach us awful lessons

    I mean what character that's commonly called a Mary Sue actually is written like this?: "Gee, golly, gosh, gloriosky," thought Mary Sue as she stepped on the bridge of the Enterprise. "Here I am, the youngest lieutenant in the fleet—only fifteen and a half years old." Captain Kirk came up to...

    Ukraine invasion

    Clearly what will happen if Putin tries to launch nukes is there will be a coup and after the dust settles Nikolai Shulginov will be running the country.

    The Batman (spoilers)

    Though even then I feel like the ending sets him up to be a more hopeful take on Batman than we've gotten in live action for quite a while.

    D&D General What if Critical Role had stuck with Pathfinder? Or 4E?

    Of explicitly non 5e stuff CR have done VtM (albeit a fairly early playtest version of V5), Deadlands (two separate times, a charity oneshot and Undeadwood), Pathfinder, Honey Heist, Mothership (combined with Alien RPG), Call of Cthulhu, Crash Pandas, Monsterhearts 2, and Tails of Equestria...

    D&D General What if Critical Role had stuck with Pathfinder? Or 4E?

    That has the longest combat in campaign two being Lucien, Cognouza Incarnate at 3 hours 7 minutes (which I'd argue Lucien, Neo-Somnovum is the same combat bringing it over 5 hours) and campaign one is Vecna, the Ascended at 4 hours 48 minutes

    D&D General What if Critical Role had stuck with Pathfinder? Or 4E?

    I mean "a third of their time" still comes out to around 300 hours of combat streamed. I'm not disagreeing that 5e is better for shows but I think talking about a lack of 1 hour, gridded combats being the reason when the biggest actual play show has a good amount of those things seems inaccurate.
