    D&D 5E (2024) What Spell Sage Advice (& Descriptions) are you afraid won't be "fixed"?

    As to the general question, I would hope they go a bit beyond Sage Advice and actually give "sage advice" and offer a range of options for various sticking points. They could go into a discussion of a few, detailing common solutions, and the results they bring to the game in terms of tone and...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Spell Sage Advice (& Descriptions) are you afraid won't be "fixed"?

    An adjacent opponent armed with two weapons can spend their action and bonus action to bring instant death to a downed target. A creature with multiattack can do it with just an action. And they can do it all day long for free. I have no problem with a limited resource like a leveled spell (not...

    D&D 5E (2014) There Will Be No More Hydro74 Alternate D&D Covers

    I was really hoping that Hydro74 would do the standard covers for the new core books. Alas...

    Agreed on these three. Dark Matter was a cool show overall, but then I am a sucker for alternate universe stories.

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    I did not need to know where everyone was, but it was very "plot convenience playhouse presents" (to borrow a phrase from MST3K) for Qimir to land near Bazil's location. I get that they wanted to get Pip's remains to Bazil. I predict that he will show it to Mae (as Osha) and she will be all...

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    @Zardnaar above pointed out it was the Thrawn duology that introduced cortosis. My mistake saying it was the trilogy. I think the helmet also enabled Qimir to withstand the stunner.

    Hmmm... Ghosts of Saltmarsh may be headed for a reprint?

    Yes! When I watched Severance, I thought it was just a one season limited series of 10 episodes. I watched the end of episode 9 and was really jazzed to watch episode 10, thinking, "This is all coming together into a bang-up ending!" But I uttered all manner of naughty words when AppleTV dumped...

    Trailer RED ONE | Official Trailer

    Not many other holidays are associated with an individual who could be kidnapped. The Easter Bunny? And some religions do not like their revered figures depicted in any fashion, much less in an action comedy film.

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    When Disney bought Lucasfilm, they declared the Extended Universe (EU) material to be non-canon, and grouped it all under the Star Wars Legends label. Certain aspects and elements of the EU have been re-introduced and made canonical over the intervening years, and cortosis looks to be the...

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    As pointed out, it was striking cortosis armor that was briefly disrupting the lightsaber functionality. I think they will explain more about cortosis in a future episode, which would be good. A show should be accessible to more than just hardcore fans. Only one lightsaber was cut in half, and...

    I think Qimir knows he has Osha because of her hair, and probably her tattoo.

    Heh. Someone online was calling Qimir "Smilo Ren." :ROFLMAO: The smile does make the mask creepier.

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    I think Sol had crept into the Nightsisters complex to sneak Osha (and maybe Mae) out, but somehow (intentionally or inadvertently) made the fire worse. He may have even killed the Nightsisters (again, on purpose or by "self defense," which would be difficult to justify if he broke in and was...

    Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

    I was wondering if Osha and Mae would switch places philosophically over the course of the show. Now that they have physically swapped places, it seems like a more possible result. Since he heard the word "Sith," for the sake of canon, Sol must end up either dead by the end of the show, or be...

    D&D 5E (2024) Greyhawk- New Map, Discussion of Changes

    I find this true for every episode of The Prisoner. My first exposure to The Prisoner was catching the episode "The Girl Who Was Death" about 15 minutes into it on a local PBS channel late one weekend. I was utterly lost but oddly fascinated by it at the same time. I looked at the TV Guide (it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Check Out The New Dungeon Master's Guide's Greyhawk Map

    Just to clarify, there are two Greyhawk campaign products. First, there was 1980's The World of Greyhawk folio that had the map and a 32 page booklet. This was revised and expanded in 1983 into a box set, with the map and two booklets: an 80-page guide and a 48-page glossography.
