    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    I do think it's worth reading, because it seems to be a detailed, deep dive. But, there are a lot of question marks for something that will clearly feed the "Disney Who FAILS!!1!" beast.

    D&D 5E (2024) So Class Complexity...

    I'm surprised to see Fighter and Rogue ranked at the same complexity level, given all the Bonus Action options that Rogues get. However, with the new Weapon Properties and class tweaks, I guess the Fighter has gotten closer to the Rogue's complexity. But it's a great idea to put this table in...

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    The first link sources an article at SFFGazette, which in turns sources the Deadline article, which states "...our across-the-board analysis of Doctor Who’s ratings and critical reception paints a nuanced picture, one that is reflective of the difficulty of judging modern-day TV series’...

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    Watched that not too long ago and hoo boy, yeah, the singing narration was rough. What was worse fro me were thew terrible American Western accents. The singing I could ff thru, but not a story's-worth of bad accents. Also, Steven is one of my least favorite companions. My impression of him is...

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    Donna is my favorite. I love that she has no romantic interest in The Doctor whatsoever, and gives him lip all the time. Have you watched the three 60th anniversary specials with Tennant and Tate? Davies redeems himself a bit there.

    D&D 5E (2024) What is your oppinion of 5.24 so far?

    Since the announcement, I've waffled between almost no interest and pretty interested. Right now, it feels like a good jumping off point, but I suspect our group will transition to 2024 D&D as smoothly as D&D Beyond allows.

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    And brother does the show do a lot of that! I guess you could fast-forward through that stuff? I'm watching the show from the very, very beginning, and I find myself fast-forwarding through some stuff - which really helps when the stories are 6 or 8 episodes long!

    Level Up Gateway Announcing Level Up Gateway

    This is great news! The one thing that has kept me from introducing more LU content to my table is the lack of a character builder tool. Also, kudos to the designer(s); the layout, color choices, organization, etc. is very strong - everything looks easy to scan, it's not too crowded, nothing...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:

    In WOTC's material? The usually-Charisma-based skills, and arguable background traits, and some downtime stuff. In other 5E material there's lots. Level Up comes to mind, but I know I've seen products that focus on fleshing out the social pillar.

    What Actors In Specific Roles Are A Joy To Watch for You?

    I would watch/listen to Ian McKellan as Gandalf the Grey reading from the Hobbiton phonebook.

    What Actors In Specific Roles Are A Joy To Watch for You?

    Slightly tangential: Steven Spielberg directing Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones is 100% solid gold for me, even in the worst IJ films. Spielberg's strengths really shine with an actor of Ford's skill and physical approach to acting.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:

    I've looked at a lot of alternate 5E ranger classes, and this new one looks...better than WOTC's 2014 ranger. Unfortunately, this is damning with faint praise. I think WOTC's ranger is weak sauce, partly because the system doesn't offer much if any support for exploration and survival. Level Up...

    Is there any genre or theme that the TTRPG medium does not work for?

    My optimism and faith in people's creativity tells me that no, there isn't.

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    The more I think about Millie Gibson's perfromances this season, the more impressed I am. Gatwa's performance is sort of blatantly great, but hers is more low-key great? And I like the way she's written.

    I watched the first 2 eps of WoT and did not take to it - how would you compare the first and second seasons?

    D&D 5E (2024) What happened to proficiency bonus times per day?

    (The angle you're seeing in these stairs is not a visual trick caused by lens distortion! They are designed that way. You will trip on them.)
