Interesting! I like a lot of things about DW, but something about the presentation has always been off-putting.

Is there a limit on how many of your attacks per turn can use the Vex property? Because with Two-Weapon Fighting and shortswords, you can hit with the first attack, give yourself advantage with the second, and when you hit with the second you're giving yourself advantage with the first attack on...

I backed Shadowdark and Tales of the Valiant, both at the print level: Shadowdark is just one book, and TotV I backed just for the Player's Guide. Shadowdark is as great as you've heard it is: clear, straightforward, simple, and a great cross between 5E and OSR. The TotV PG borders on...

Exactly. I haven't seen this new PHB, but from what I hear there are no lists of gods for cleric players to look at in it.

"...but check with your DM." Problem solved. But give the players something to work with. Maybe list some examples - from WOTC's own settings, and historical deities - with each domain. The DMG can elaborate on any of that, of course. Also: I'm used to a different style of play, I guess. Unless...

Players who want to run clerics (or paladins) might disagree with this. Regarding the illustration - I love all the different ways to visualize these things that we've had over the years and editions. I don't much care what planes there are or aren't, but these sure are fun to look at and think...

Already backing Nimble, because it looks like just what the doctor ordered. Limitless Non-Combat Encounters is a great title for some much-needed content!

Let me start by saying I'm not outraged or whatever. Things have been nudging me toward not investing in this edition/whatever, like the OGL fiasco and more recent circus acts, the prevalence of 5E options, my lack of interest in getting dragged into a digital gaming space for my face-to-face...

Yeah, this is how I see it, too - more like a 5.25 than even a 5.5, let alone a 6E.

Are you an undead pirate?

Similarly, when tablets made digital comic books into a popular thing, many people were worried it would mean the end of printed comics. Instead, the presence of digital comics increased awareness of comics in general, and some of the people made aware started going to comic book shops. When...

I hope you're right, that these things are brought up elsewhere. Hopefully that section will take advantage of having a separate bit of the book to devote to it. I'm not optimistic, but I'll be happy to be wrong in that.

That description is kind of misleading. Yeoh played Captain Georgiou, and also played a Mirror Universe Emperor Georgiou. The character she's playing in Section 31 is the latter. Regardless, I guess I'm in a minority here, but I love that trailer, and I'll definitely be watching.

To answer the OP: I won't be using the new background, no. As far as i can gather, they've dumped personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws. So, I have no interest in this aspect of the 2024 game.

Yeah, the science on the show is...not its strong suit. The writers didn't seem to know the different between the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe.

The screeching horror of Dragon's Domain is burned into the mental retina of all who saw it at the "right" age. I watched that one a couple years ago for the first time, and I can see why. The production values on the show were generally very high. Honestly, it's one of the things that makes...

The end of that episode gets me every time.

Have you watched Penny Dreadful or The Doom Patrol? He's about half the reason I watched them, and loved them. I just feel like he can do no wrong One of my favorites, in part because it really shows just how dangerous The Doctor is when they're alone.

Well, that's not displaying the way I wanted. Hmm...

I appreciate this heads-up about what area of the convention space to avoid. ;)
