But one overarching theme: over-produced.

Blame that on the comic book art trend of unnecessary belts of the 90s I bet.

I've said elsewhere that when Planescape came out I absolutely hated the art. When it came to the outer planes, I was expecting the Grecian ideals that were depicted in much of the art of Deities and Demigods. As time went on, I began to appreciate the style and now I love it. I recently...

No argument from me about that overall. But if there will be art, let it reflect varying styles as well as content and diversity.

The AD&D books had plenty of art that wasn't beefcake and cheesecake, or hyper-airbrushed and computer-colored hyper-dynamic visuals and it's sorely missed by this grognard-leaning player. Give me cartoons, B&W line art and a variety of styles.

Didn't come from the artists using bodybuilders as their models, and the women wear bikinis when posing, the men basically just wear speedos?

From what I've gathered about the ORC, and from non-lawyery sources mind you, is that it seems that the ORC-license benefits those "upstream" more than those "downstream" given the requirement that you must be willing to have your content shareable. That puts Paizo at the top of the pyramid...

At least that leaves open a game? I'm not a huge fan exactly (I played it with an autistic "nephew" for a couple years, and it was fun to some extent). But if they released a game that is sortakinda like a BG3, I think I'd buy it.

Now it's time for the Lego D&D video game, and then the movie. I'm surprised it hasn't been done/announced already.

2 hours to go! and I can't imagine having it any other way than Emily's art in print.

Only 17 hours to go for Surviving Strangehollow. If you haven't seen GinnyDi's video for it yet, you're missing out. It's so GinnyDi.

The ideological divide of Rulings vs. Rules would tear this country apart, but be humorous to watch.

Facebook in particular? No. Someone with a background in social networking/Web 2.0? Hell, yeah, especially for things such as Adventurer's League, for which it is a necessity if it is to survive into today's world.

I was so afraid the the supporting cast wasn't going to be included, and was so relieved to hear otherwise. Now my hope is that they'll cast Janel Moloney (Donna Moss from West Wing) as a sister or other relations, or retcon/recast her as her mother. They're practically twins!

Do yourself a big favor and watch Daredevil, and not just for her (but definitely at least for her). Another reason? Hallway fight scenes! They made me totally reimagine corridor fights in RPGs.

But Tony Hawk hawking CO Q10? Scandalous!

I couldn't get past the 4E PH, so I must admit that I have never read it. Teos @ Alphastream has recommended it as well, especially when Mastering Dungeons was going over the 2014 DMG. I was just spitballing ideas that would be cool to see. Having a sidebar about the DMs satchel checklist...

I've long suspected that the new DMG is going to have a lot more "How To DM In <This> Style" features in it, and this further confirms my suspicions. Sure there will be a lot of Canonical/mechanical/Rules guidance. But I think there will be a lot of coaching advice, so-to-speak. I'd kill to...

If anyone knows of a way to send a message to Stephen Colbert of The Late Show, someone should let him know of this moment. Metamorphosis Alpha was Mr. Colbert's first RPG, according to his appearance for the Red Nose Day event with Matt Mercer. RPGs and Drama are a two-way street gateway...

My first (and ongoing) attempts at creating an RPG, a setting, and a novel are all thanks to James Ward. It's about a generation starship fleet that crashlands on their goal planet in a system named after the Norse gods and mutant mayhem ensues. It's Metamorphosis Alpha, Gamma World, and...
