I haven't gotten around to reading that adventure in its entirety, so I wasn't aware of that. That's good to hear! Maybe there will indeed be a Many-Arrows revival in the new FR books.

So the long-awaited second season of Wednesday is now out. Or the first half of it at least. I’ve watched the first two episodes so far. Really enjoying it! They waste no time revealing Wednesday’s stalker. Lots of cameos, including Haley Joel Osment as a deranged serial killer and...

I've never watched the original Mission: Impossible show myself, but my parents did, and this was exactly their reaction to the first M:I movie when we went to see it in the theater together however long ago that was.

I asked ChatGPT to write me an encounter in the same style as the Brigands encounter. This is what it gave me: Still not as LOL as the actual thing but better than what it gave you!

As an aside: I've said this many times before, but I think one of the worst decisions WotC made in the early 5e transition era was to wipe out the Kingdom of Many-Arrows. They had been steadily building it up as an example of orcs growing beyond their savage nature and would've been a perfect...

Thanks. I still wouldn't call that MCU style like what we're seeing in the latest Marvel movies or the Loki TV show. Yes, it talks about "parallel worlds" but I still think they're referring to something different. I take it as being that the Material Plane, the Ethereal Plane, the Outer Planes...

But that's still not MCU style. Krynn, Oerth, Athas, and Toril aren't parallels of each other. They're different planets orbiting different stars. Yes, you can reach them by traveling other planes, but you can also reach them by traveling through "space" without ever leaving the material plane...

Yeah, I considered mentioning that aspect in my post but I was mainly thinking about official D&D products, none of which ever feature parallel dimension style stuff (other than parts of Abeir and Toril swapping places during the Spellplague). When WotC talks about the multiverse, they mostly...

The idea that you have to be level 19+ to become a Chosen is weird to me, since there are plenty of examples in previous 5e books no less of random commoners being the Chosen of various gods. I know it was more a thing during the Sundering and the numbers of Chosen have diminished since but...

While I don't necessarily disagree with you, I do feel it's worth pointing out that WotC's idea of a multiverse is different to Marvel's. The MCU's multiverse is more parallel dimensions, where you have multiple versions of Earth and multiple versions of Loki and whatnot. While WotC has snuck...

Or, perhaps, forces opposing Tiamat. Perhaps some of the old school CotD remnants found a way to bring back Sammaster to counter Severin's Tiamat-worshipping faction.

Perhaps there will be some time travel shenanigans. Kinda like how Thanos "came back from the dead" during Endgame.

I reckon the Revenge of the Sith novelization is pretty good. Does a much better job making Anakin's fall feel earned - for instance, the reason he's upset about the council not making him a master in the book is not because he's just being whiny and immature like in the movie but because...

Interesting. I wonder if / how they have explained his return.

Yeah, we've already got Hulu integrated into Disney+ as Star here in NZ as well. In other news, I still only subscribe to D+ but my oldest has recently let me watch some stuff on her Netflix account. Looking forward to watching the new season of Wednesday with my younger two soon.

Honestly, Keiko is one of my faves. I really wish she'd gotten more screen time. Miles is a lovable dork, and their relationship just feels so real to me in the way that many other TV relationships don't. That episode where Miles can see Keiko is unhappy because the school has closed and so he...

I like some music from just about every era. In terms of popular music, I think I tend to listen to stuff from the 70s and 80s or from the 2000s to now more than I listen to stuff from the 90s. I was just trying to point out that the idea of musical taste at least being set in the teenage years...

I've edited my post because I found some of my original posts from 2014. It turns out that the bit about Tiamat's faithful infiltrating Cult of the Dragon cells is from the 2e Cult of the Dragon book. It may have taken longer than Tiamat expected due to the Spellplague, but it seems her church...

Huh. Today I learned that Live put out an album before Mental Jewelry! (EDIT: Actually, it's come back to me now. Yes, the band known as Live put out an album before Mental Jewelry, but it was under their previous name, Public Affection, which is why I tend to think of Throwing Copper as their...
