    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    My head cannon continues to be, that humans in Earth-616 are all just tougher than humans here. Its why batman can do the crazy stuff he does, its how people can be caught falling at insane velocities and not immediately die, and its how Nat can fall down a 5 story staircase bouncing like a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Creating good stealth rules for 2024 5e

    For the most part, trying to remove the silly aspects of the 2024 rules but the spirit is meant to be the same.

    Happy to take feedback, which part of my draft did you find too convoluted?

    D&D 5E (2024) Creating good stealth rules for 2024 5e

    After the 10th 100+ post thread about stealth, its clear that the stealth rules are not....ideal. You can argue if they are completely bonkers broken or just "useable with some common sense interpretations" but its clear that a rewrite wouldn't hurt. while other have argued its impossible to...

    Spoilers Cobra Kai Final Episodes

    I enjoyed it, they actually shifted here and there in different directions than I expected but it ended in a solid satisfying way, very enjoyable. Hehe the idea that people could lose as M-do but then come back to cobra Kai and win was complete BS…but that’s just cobra Kai, this show was always...

    Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

    Hoult is a great actor, but I don’t think he has the raw animal magnetism that bond is supposed to portray, either in a more primal way (like Craig) or in a more Swavy way (like brosnen)

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    I do think this is a fair point. While I just said in a previous post that the new movie was a fine popcorn flick, on the other hand it’s completely unneeded as well. The momtenum of marvel is gone, there’s nothing left i really need to see. Could those high budgets start shifting into other...

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    Having watched it, I think it’s an average marvel movie. It’s more of a self contained jaunt, had decent action, decent acting, decent ish plot, normal silly completely forgettable villain. Taken as just a popcorn movie it was fine. There wasn’t anything significantly wrong with it to me, but...

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    I agree with the lack of character arc, or at least a retread. We’ve already seen the same “can I really hold up the mantle of Steve Roger” in FaWS, and so it’s kind of the same here. That said, I don’t agree witb your note about his interaction with Ross. The point of is that while everyone...

    D&D 5E (2024) Paul Hughes's Analysis of D&D 2024 Monster Manual monsters on Blog of Holding

    in another thread we are talking how a single high level fighter can often output 200 damage in a single round....by themselves. 2024 PCs do lots of damage!

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    I guess its a question of what does it mean to be 20th level? are you just some guy in a large justice league scenario where there are dozens or hundreds of people of that power on your world.....or are you one of the few elite members who dwarf the powers of those around you? If its the...

    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    same, I don't plan to switch in the middle of my current campaign, and will assess once this campaign ends.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    Admantine armor is honestly pretty tame. I have a player that has it, and yes immunity to crits is wonderful....but crits just aren't that common. A +1 armor you are likely to get more use out of it in general.

    oh jesus that is a 2014 item, they still didn't fix it? Way too good for an uncommon item

    How the Monsters Have Changed in the 2025 Monster Manual: Azer

    2nd time we have seen the shift of "when an enemy touches or hit a creature they take damage" to "when the monster ends its turn near you should take damage". I like the shift, it puts the control more in the dm hands on how to direct the damage, and provides more balance to hit any party...

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    Its like a mismash of a few d20 systems, 5e/4e/13th age. I would say that the number one element of the game that highlights it is: "The players rolls are currency". Meaning that player rolls can generate the "hope" resource when certain values are rolled, or can give the DM "fear" to use...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    this is also perhaps a backwards compatibility issue. When we think of gold in older modules....lets be honest gold has so little value in 2014 5e that its really unimportant how much you get. It can be gobs and gobs, doesn't matter all that much. But...the second you add in a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    I mean...if the core books are telling you what the expected magic items are....by definition they can't be overgenerous....that is literally the expected baseline.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    I will challenge this a bit. 1) Time: If the DM has established a setting with long downtimes...then suddenly changing it to "oh there is no time for that" when the players start to craft things doesn't really work. 2) Money: Its true that the DM can be super stingy...but this starts to go...
