    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Surprised, but glad to see this. I'll have to dig deeper into this, but my initial read is ... okay. I'm fine with leaving Psionics in the same spellcasting structure as a full caster ... one can simply add the Spellpoints system in the 2014 DMG in a sidebar. My biggest beef with the 3.5 XPH...

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    Even the Redwall novels could be pretty bleak and dark. Or Secret of Nimh.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    This is where I'm in a wait and test mode. Because, at least on initial read, I'm pretty happy with the compactness of the stat block and it looks pretty easy to both put them into play and build combat encounters quickly. But I have to see them in action first. Movement and size look pretty...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Do the cards look like they'll need sleeves? I sleeve MTG cards because they're constantly shuffled and moved about, I don't know if that's necessary for the Domain cards, unless we're concerned about the quality of them

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I'm still trying to get a group together for a 5e campaign, I don't see myself playing Daggerheart anytime soon, unless a friend decides to run it. That said, I will probably watch the CR series, which will be my first. Currently I'm just playing around with the character generation, will...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Right, the unified class progression is also a major 4e ism

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    The big one is in monster design, those Stat blocks look 4e ish, with roles, levels and a very functional design.

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Tbh, I knew nothing about Daggerheart until this week, hadn't been following the news. But now that it's out, I'm actually impressed and debating acquiring it. I like having class features and such on cards, eases char gen. The game hits a lot of notes I like, although I have not DMed a PBTA...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    At first I was a little annoyed with Cassian's weird detainment, but the button at the end was quite fun. I loved the Chandrillan wedding. Not how I expected things would go, sad to say, but that is one of the reasons I love this show, it surprises me in wonderful (and tragic) ways. Andor...

    James Wyatt On Dragon Delves' Solo Adventures

    I think this is moving to a buy for me. If nothing else, seeing how they're tweaking formatting and giving a lot of thought to how to run these out of book with minimal prep and with different size play groups has me strongly interested

    Jeremy Crawford Also Leaving D&D Team Later This Month

    I had the opportunity to meet Crawford at a panel on queer gaming and he signed my 5e PHB. I'll miss his presence on the team. That said, I refuse to theorize or make predictions right now. We'll see how DnD evolves

    Trailer Tron Ares trailer

    The Tron: Legacy soundtrack is an all-timer, so good luck to NIN. I dunno, I will defend Legacy despite its flaws, but this didn't do much for me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Sharn is definitely something I want to see in a visual medium, a game or even an animated/live action show, because I want to see how a city of towers is realized. A lot of the static art and maps ... don't really sell to me what Sharn would be like.

    D&D General Ships & spellcasters

    Introduce materials that are more resistant to fire, being put on fire? So the sails are more resistant to fireballs, but still can be shredded with grapeshot?

    D&D General Which 3.0/3.5 Prestige classes would make good 5e subclasses? (+)

    Master of Many Forms (Complete Adventurer): Druid that gains the ability to wildshape into Oozes, Plants, Fey and Dragons. TBH, I'd mine a couple of subclasses out of this. Maybe a "Circle of Decay" that gains Ooze, Vermin and Plant forms, another Circle for Fey and another for Dragons. ...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Paizo Adventures (Paths or otherwise) Have You Run in 5E

    I'm in the process of planning a Savage Tide Campaign. It's been a long time ambition, I had thought to adapt it for 4e, but never pulled the trigger, now I'm done waiting.

    Lilo & Stitch - Live Action Official Trailer

    Ugh ... I kinda like this? I'm so tired of live action remakes ... but this one might not be bad? Confusing feelings, will have to ponder it.
