OK. I’m not familiar with the Oriental Adventures ruleset, but I read the Empires trilogy back in the day. The second one, Dragonwall, was primarily set in Shou Lung and involved a Genghis Khan like character invading across the fantasy Great Wall of China. Meanwhile, nothing screams “written...

That’s a new one for me! I’ve always equated Baldur’s Gate with London. Cormyr is more fantasy medieval France to me.

So not really “starting over” so much as adding new players to the existing group? i know it’ll be awkward since your wife is an active gamer too, but I strongly recommend actually starting fresh with a wholly new group. Don’t include any of the existing group. You need a clean break, and you...

I was under the impression that Kara-Tur was a more general fantasy Far East, with fantasy analogues for China (Shou Lung, T’u Lung), Tibet (Tabot), the Stans (Hordelands), Korea (Koryo), Japan (Kozakura, Wa), and various southeast Asian countries (Malatra). Also, the Shou are one of the FR...

Yes, except that it ends at the end of your next turn if you do nothing to extend it. So if you want to play a "rage mage" and you want to switch out of your rage to cast a spell, then you have to wait two rounds before you can do so. I think that's probably a fair trade-off in my opinion.

You previously posted this on July 4th. Is there a reason you've posted it again?

He might be like me - even when I'm freshly shaven, I still have a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow. Dark beard + pale skin. 🤷

Yeah, all I can find in the new PHB is the sidebar about using species from older books, which would include the half-orc. The inclusion of the half-orc and backgrounds like Outlander says to me that these characters were made using the OG 5e rules.

Kiwi jeweller Sir Michael Hill has died aged 86.

Thanks. I guess I haven't been paying much attention to the MCU road map lately.

Streaming on August 1st ... was this on the road map or has it just kind of appeared out of nowhere? Regardless, it looks pretty cool. I'll watch it. Looks like they're saying that Wakandans have secretly been involved in various world events as far back as the Trojan War.

Yeah, and I have a feeling, from the context, that he wouldn't have. I mean, for one thing, he's now got an "older" body, and most of his friends have retired or are close to it. He might just want to enjoy life. Maybe he joins Geordi at the Starfleet Museum or something.

OK. Any thoughts on what that other piece might be - or at least where it might appear? Was the Thunderbolts* credit scene an advanced teaser for the next Avengers movie, for instance? I've lost track of what all else is coming out.

I'm pretty sure if you edit a post within a certain amount of time, it doesn't show as edited. It's only if you edit it after a certain amount of time has passed that the "Last edited" tag shows up. That's been my experience at least. Yep. I just edited and saved this post, and there's no "last...

I haven’t seen this yet, but y’all know I don’t care about spoilers. Does this movie lead directly into the Thunderbolts* credit scene, or is there going to be another piece of the puzzle to slot in between? Skipping the origin story seems to be a thing these days. Off the top of my head, they...

I really miss that old FR logo.

I’m not upset about it. It was just a random observation. But hey, I’m a detailed-oriented person, so I pick a lot of nits. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sure, but they weren't necessarily "boldly going where no one has gone before".

Yeah, I'm beginning to realize that.

OK. I haven’t seen that OG episode. Ep 3 was great! I kinda suspected plant zombies when M’benga wasn’t picking up any life signs. I liked the tension between #1 and Ortegas this episode. I’m worried about Batel. I have the feeling she’s going to turn into a monster and have to be “put down”...
