    Star Wars: Andor

    I think they showed the cost of being rebel insurgents, ie it cost them their relationship. They illustrated Luthen’s soliloquy to the mole. I like that. In an inferior work, Cinta would never have made it off Aldhani.

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Those billion dollar interest payments add up! To be fair to Elon, there are ways to make Twitter profitable, or at least an asset to his wider business empire. None of them involve free speech, however.

    D&D General Do you like LOTS of races/ancestries/whatever? If so, why?

    During the COVID lockdowns my group started an OD&D campaign. Four playable races (which were classes). It lasted 2 years. So when that ended and I began running 5e in a new homebrew, we leaned hard into the opposite direction. The Arc has something called the Ikosothropos, the Twenty Peoples...

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Why am I picturing this as a scene from Tron? (if Tron had a budget of 44 billion dollars but looked as good as Second Life)

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    Why? Are WotC's workers being treated too humanely? I just watched that video! Apparently because I needed a dose of inanity to go along with my morning coffee. Prior to the MCU, 'hardcore Marvel fans' could barely support the relatively minuscule print runs of modern comics. Which isn't to...

    Star Wars: Andor

    The last episode could have been called "The One Where We Remind You This Is a Star Wars Show". I admit I found it a little jarring. I'm going to have to think about that...

    Star Wars: Andor

    And he handed Saw’s guard a lightsaber. I wonder if this is foreshadowing? 😀 (it’s funny how much of Luthen’s speech to the ISB mole also applies to being a Jedi, come to think...)

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's: How Do You Justify NPC's Having Magic/Abilities That Don't Exist in the PHB?

    I arrange a bunch of words in my brain and then open my mouth. Sometimes I skip the first part.

    Christmas Music

    After Thanksgiving. But I only want to hear “Father Christmas“, “Christmas Wrapping”, “Christmas in Hollis”, and “A Fairytale of New York” on repeat.

    What are the must-read fantasy and science fiction novels of the 21st century?

    Saga is a great call! (thought I might slightly prefer Paper Girls)

    What are the must-read fantasy and science fiction novels of the 21st century?

    The Kefahuchi Tract trilogy by M. John Harrison: Light, Nova Swing, Empty Space: A Haunting. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. Ministry For the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. The Expanse (all nine!) by James S. A. Corey, aka Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham The Southern Reach trilogy by...

    Star Wars: Andor

    So after seven episodes there's a legitimate question about who this series is for, exactly. There's also an argument to be made that it's also the best Star Wars thing made (so far). And is Luthen the Rebellion's Thrawn? Discuss!

    A foolish consistency is the HD 1+1 hobgoblin of little minds. (couldn't resist)

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

    I have to admit I laughed out loud when we apparently got dropped back into the Disney+ menu 2/3 of the way through the episode. That was more meta than I was expecting. Even considering the episode started with an intro in the style of the Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk series. It was all very clever. So...

    Sydney Sweeney to be the new Barbella in upcoming Sony Remake!!!

    Wes Anderson. You’d basically get the film-within-a-film from Roman Coppola’s movie CQ. It won’t happen, but no power in the ‘verse can stop me from wanting it to happen!
