It's good. I like short, evocative descriptions. I hate long descriptions with a charging monster tucked in at the end, almost as an afterthought. Found a typo. You have is instead of if in the scorpion burrow tracks description. 🦂

We had plenty of other novels to read and definitely didn't have more time! 😂 Tolkien had become a huge fad during this time period. There were "Frodo for President" signs, if I'm remembering correctly. Gygax preferred Sword & Sorcery but couldn't ignore the Tolkien love at the time. I didn't...

Well, that's not allowed! 😏 I remember when 5e first came out, someone was admiring a particular art piece and how it was so much better than that awful 4e art. Turned out the 5e picture was a reused 4e illustration!

I read Tolkien well before I started rpgs but I also read a ton of other fantasy. My games were more influenced by other authors, even though I love LotR.

Congrats on earning top badge in D&D nerdom. 😂

Yep. Can you imagine what would happen in superhero comics, if actual physics suddenly kicked in? 😂

Real world science and superhero science have nothing in common.

We start at max hp. The two of us who have run longish campaigns make sure to telegraph danger, use the monster morale rules and have critters/factions that can be negotiated with. The players are careful and usually play smart. The high lethality is often exaggerated, as long as there is not...

Yep. After decades I still forget obvious stuff.

Sales go up when Stranger Things is airing, but it's not exactly propping the game up. I think D&D will survive the lack of Stranger Things.

It's possible that the new set's goodies will lure in new players. I love Free League sets because of the stuff. Maps, tokens, etc. might make the game feel more approachable, especially if they are boardgamers. Is WotC pushing replay ability? That could help, even if it's not exactly accurate.

Visual aids are really helpful with spells, which are still described as cones, lines, spheres, etc.

There's some self balancing going on as well. A "spotlight hog" will run out of resources pretty quick and naturally draw the bulk of the opposition's ire.

Now I'm picturing all these animal pilots zooming around in rockets. 😂

I haven't read it but Krypto shows up in the comic book run of "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" which the new Supergirl movie is based on. Guess Gunn thinks it'll be easier to have Krypto attached to Kara.

I really enjoyed the movie. Cast is great and everyone just seems to be having fun in their roles. These are definitely my favourite portrayals of Superman, Lois and Lex. What impresses me is that Gunn captures the Silver Age by dancing close to the line of cringe but somehow never stepping...

I like the armour and Thresholds. I know this is an area of complaint, but to me, it feels like the armour thresholds are blocking a goodly amount of damage. Some of it is getting through, which will be marked as hp or armour. Nobody has a lot of hp, so you feel that the armour is actually...

I love how the players, as they get used to their abilities and the options, are really cooperating and doing cool moves in combat. The lack of initiative is great. Everyone is engaged and combat stays exciting.

6 classes would be nice, so if there are 4 players, there's no one feeling like they have no choice.

I've been both running and playing a fair amount of DH. Our table loves it. We are having a blast with the game. It's becoming addictive. None of us are Critters, btw. 😂 It's interesting reading different reactions to the game. Of course gamers have different preferences, but DH seems to...
