    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Woo! More fighting styles! I like the sound of the Inspiration changes. The DMG is sounding really good.

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    Regarding the anagrams and wordplay, with The Doctor having let supernatural stuff back in the universe (or let it run more rampant) maybe words are powerful and the supernatural beings are bound to them. There's a load of precedent for that in mythology, fairy stories, etc.

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" had too much of this: Character: "What is that? What's happening?" Othe Character: "I don't know." OR [wordless shocked or confused expression] Just over and over. That my harsh criticism. I really enjoyed most of it in the moment, but by the end the sparsity of...

    Art Direction: Consistent or Varied?

    Hmm - I think art direction can be consistent and varied at the same time, but that might be semantics at work. I expect the art in a product to be of consistent quality or professionalism, and to share one or more traits. Those traits could be stylistic, thematic, contemporaneousness (if the...

    RPG Crowdfunding News - Erevan's Guide, Outgunned, Vast Grimm, and more

    Woo! There's a lot here to like! Erevan's Guide covers an aspect of play that doesn't get explored much. Outgunned Adventure is promising. The maps book was already on my radar, and is going to be hard to pass up. I'm always interested in Shadowdark content so thanks for bringing that 'zine to...

    I think it was more that Rogue stepped into the field right as he pushed Ruby out, thereby satisfying the field's programming/limitations.

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    I didn't like "Rogue" as much as I've liked every other episode this season, but the Doctor-and-Rogue stuff was great. My complaints are that the tension just wasn't there for me for most of the run-time. I kept expecting another little twist or surprise somewhere. For the record, I think this...

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    That episode is at the top of my list of ones to suggest to people who have never watched the show - I think it's a top-notch one-shot story and a great example of what the show is like a lot of the time.

    D&D 5E (2024) Which section of the 2024 PHB will you check out first?

    This is an interesting question! In terms of looking up points of interest, I will flip to the classes - specifically Fighter and Cleric, because those are the classes I know the 2014 version of the best. But I will browse through looking at the art a lot!

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    She's in such a tenuous position, and when she tries to be assertive she's abandoned. She has to wait patiently and slowly, and carefully maneuver for a moment when she can use that condition with some agency. It's not until the "crone" stage that she fully understands and bring things full...

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    Heard an interesting argument in favor of 73 Yards' unanswered questions: it all started with a fairy ring*, so things are not going to make sense, because that's how the fae work. I also heard a snippet about the episode being a metaphor for how society treats women, but I haven't given this...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Dungeon Master's Guide Cover Features Venger (From the D&D Cartoons)

    Well, you got me there - I didn't measure their pixel heights. :rolleyes: ("about the same height" is what I said, and having it confirmed by your numbers I'm going to stick with that.)

    I think if I were to watch The Eternals again, I would watch it in chunks instead of start to finish. So, I think you're on to something!

    D&D 5E (2024) New Dungeon Master's Guide Cover Features Venger (From the D&D Cartoons)

    Wow - for me at least, this cover specifically fails to achieve these goals. Making the figures all pretty much the same size does give equal significance to each level of threat, but my first thought when looking at the cover was "well, that's dull". But again, I'm just one nerd, and it's not...

    D&D 5E (2024) New Dungeon Master's Guide Cover Features Venger (From the D&D Cartoons)

    I'm not in love with this cover, I think because all the figures are about the same size. I feel like it would be more dynamic with more variation there. But it doesn't rally matter to me.

    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    I noticed that she referred to "this timeline" - the timeline she and Ruby were in at that moment. This seemed like a pointed comment, but it might just be a reference to her/UNIT's awareness of varying and shifting timelines. I love that UNIT has training and technology to deal with an array...

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    When it came out a couple years ago I saw Dune in IMAX and LOVED it. Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors, and I'm really hoping his Rendezvous with Rama happens. Saw Dune 2 in IMAX, and liked it less. I think everything happening on Arakis made it less interesting for me, and the...

    Where Do You Get Your Digital (RPG) Books and Materials?

    Well, I basically checked every box except VTTs. I'd like to see Itch.io on the list, though - I have quite a library there, after a few charity bundles, that Shadowdark bundle a while back, and a few things I discovered while looking for something esoteric.
