The teaser is very entertaining!

I doubt you’ll see new texts being published on DDB that don’t use the current rules.

I knew and loved Tolkien first; I was a pretty precocious reader (tracks; I now teach literature). And there was a marked impact on my initial approach to D&D. I also bought Middle Earth Roleplay as soon as I found it, which led me to Rolemaster. However, I now find the influence of Tolkien to...

This was an instant purchase for me. It looks great, and I already have a ton of miniatures to go with it!

The good news is that, according to Treantmonk, Berserker Barbarian maths out to be the strongest single target damage machine right through to level 20. So you're already off to a good start. We have one in my current home game. He hits hard, and also tanks pretty well. We also have a monk and...

Eh…Captain America aside (and even that is arguable), I don’t think any superhero is more associated with the USA than is Supes. And I know for a fact that the last Captain America movie was basically toxic up here in Canada (though it didn’t help that it was also terrible). The USA brand has...

I point out that this is not always, but typically, a family member. Also, having taken a white water rescue course, I can tell you that most people are terrible at understanding the risk of strong currents.

I suggest you include Maps from DDB - it’s gotta be the most used D&D VTT by a significant margin.

According to their public statements, they will never do that - the plan is to stick with 5e forever, and to just call it D&D, not 5e. What we will see is additional evolution within that framework. Again, according to WotC. So you’re safe! It’s also not clear how they could even do a clean...

Yeah, the long form narrative of the last arc of season 2 and all of season 3 took forever for things to happen and I have no desire to rewatch any of them, while I still regularly rewatch/listen to earlier episodes. Also, Season 3 felt really pre-ordained in a way that the earlier arcs did not...

I am very much looking forward to using this. An updated Keep on the Borderlands pushes a lot of buttons for my inner twelve year old.

Thank you for this insider information and clarification! When you state that it is "powered by the D&D rules," could you expand on that a little bit? The recent starter sets have been simplified versions of the 2014 5e rules system. Does this new set incorporate aspects of the 2024 rules...

I'll wait for streaming, if at all. I was just thinking that the JP franchise is amazingly resilient considering that there has only been one really good film in the franchise, the first. It's obviously an incredibly appealing concept, but every subsequent film has reeked of studio-enforced...

Do you use DnDBeyond? If so, they just put out three different sets of “One Play Wonders” by Roll Play Press. Each is a set of ten short adventures at various levels in a particular environment (forest, coastal, desert). They come with gorgeous digital battle maps for the DDB virtual map tool...

To be fair, the bat was a mistake and he had to get rabies shots. It’s the doves who should have real beef.

My first DM was a college student, my buddy’s older brother. We were in Middle school, so of course we worshipped him. And Black Sabbath was his favourite band, so it automatically became mine as well. I’m sure I’ve listened to Paranoid hundreds of times since then, and it remains one of my...

FF4 reviews are looking very strong, though not rapturous. Currently 86% on RT, with some raves and few outright pans.

Ragnarok is definitely addressing real world issues. Specifically, colonialism. Which is not surprising, given that its director is partially of Māori ancestry.

I'll be purchasing the digital version only from DDB, and I expect that it will be very cheap. This sounds like an extraordinary resource to have for my beginner groups at the school club, as I am always looking for good adventures to wean them off into their own campaigns, and it should...
