    First Look Teaser | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    Honestly, the one that surprised me was Cmdr Ellen Landry, given how she died, attacking a tardigrade. A Starfleet Academy series has been a thing talked about for awhile, and I'm interested in seeing how it'll function. While I'd be interested in trying it out in other eras of Trek continuity...

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I have so many dice, and yet thinking that I need the right pairs for Hope/Fear has led me to wanting to buy dice again ... I'm not even playing, I'm the DM that gets to use the d20!

    So you're done with D&D but still want to play D&Dish fantasy...

    I didn't think I was done with DnD ... tbh, I still want to play it. But I'll confess Daggerheart kinda stole my heart. It's simpler, faster and just seems to have synthesized a lot of elements from other games and made them work together. I do think that it is primarily that my taste for...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I think, though this is a guess after only one session and some theory crafting, that a phased solo like the Volcanic Dragon can fit the bill as a legit solo threat. But normal solos are more like 4e elites.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Now that I think about it, the best fries are in Poutine.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    While I liked the Donner films well enough, sadly the Superman I grew up with was Dean Cain, which I do not acknowledge. So I'm really glad for this movie to be a new Superman that charmed me and really gave me a version of the character to cheer for.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    I'll let you know when I get there. I like Praed a lot, and changing the lead is always tricky, but my childhood memories were more favorable to Connery.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Mine ... Buffy and it's spin-off Angel are still comfort shows for me. Despite Whedon's fall from grace, I still consider both shows excellent. Babylon 5, forever. One that I found on Tubi and I remember from my childhood was this BBC show Robin of Sherwood. It's got a lot of elements that...

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    I think Steak Fries are absorbing other Fry types and that's skewing the results. That said, I'm the weirdo that would prefer a Sweet Potato Fry. If it's a good one, I will say that there is a higher difficulty curve to making a good sweet potato fry, as it's tricky to manage them. If we're...

    D&D's October Product Revealed to Be Stranger Things Tie-In

    I run the Chris Pine MTG card as the Commander of one of my fav EDH decks. I'd normally pass on box sets like this, but I am impressed with the retro vibe and the amount of stuff in the box. I'm in for tokens and cards and such.

    Thundercats Are On The Move! Thundercats Are Loose! [Updated]

    Oh. I don't buy Lynnvander products. Shocked at the number of crossover products they've managed to make.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I've already told my players that I'm treating their Experiences are a little like Character Aspects and one can spend a Hope to make a narrative declaration.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    One of my complaints with some modern Trek starship battles is that they sometimes overdo it and fill the screen with too much stuff. Discovery S2 finale vs. Control, or this battle with the Gorn fighters, there's just too much going on. Compare that to the duel with the Shepherds in "Children...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I threw two minor demons against a party of 5 PCs ... and definitely could have put a PC or two into death moves. The fear generation was pretty good.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    One of the things Daggerheart unabashedly does is push GMs and players to customize and make it their own. One thing that really stood out for me was the example of play. One, it mixes combat and non-combat in the write-up, but what really made the section stand out was after the example of...

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    Well, my Robin Hood one-shot went off last night ... and now I've got to make this into a campaign. So I'm planning to write up a full campaign frame for what I made and what the players added in.

    The Daggerheart Inspirational Thread [+]

    ... Well, I ran my first session last night, and the two things that really stood out for me were: 1. Experiences and Connections. That section of character building did a lot of flesh in a world that I had barely sketched for a simple one-shot ... that now seems to be a promising campaign. A...
