    Trailer Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* | D23 Brazil Special Look

    CGI was disappointing, but otherwise I was a fan of She Hulk. How can you not love the show that brought us Madisynn.

    Trailer Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* | D23 Brazil Special Look

    Yeah, I mean it's true that America is big. Just Texas is bigger European country other than Russia. But Russia is even bigger. Trailer looked fun overall. I'm glad to see that Yelena seems to be the main character, because she's great.

    Blades in the Dark Gets First Official Expansion

    Yeah, when I played I frequently traded position effect and doing desperate action pretty frequently. As a player I was pretty happy the pace of advancement previously.

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    And Kamala Khan was not part of the the Young Avengers in the comics, but it sure seems like she's going to be in the MCU. The roster isn't going to be the same.

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    Watched the final two episodes last night, and overall I was pleased with them. Enjoyed that the "Witches Road" turned out to be Agatha All Along. One thing that I had to wonder is just how many witches are there in the MCU? It seems like they are everywhere. Strange how that has never come up...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have a new player that I will be DMing, got some questions.

    1) No. I'd say the exception is if he really wants to do a character build that requires multi-classing, but I'm not sure what that would be. 2) If by, "explain the game," you mean give him a general overview, then yes. It will take a while before he masters it. 3) I assume that he and his...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    Yeah, so many of the places where people accuse women of being "shoe-horned" are places where they were historically exclude from. The lack of women Jedi in the early Star Wars movies says more about society at the time they were made, not about who is qualified to be a Jedi.

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    Yeah, I've only seen good things about it online including reviews and viewership numbers. I could see how the anti-wokes might rally against it though. Not a single straight man in the main cast!

    D&D 5E (2024) Overthinking Long Rest in 2024

    First for the original question, yeah it seems way they phrased it in 2024e seems silly to me. 2014e said "A character can’t benefit from more than one long rest in a 24-hour period." Where they worried that players would players would say the rest before the fight was one 24 hour period and...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    I enjoyed the return of Ralph Bohner. We also got that Billy's boyfriend is named Eddie, which is not quite Teddy, but I wonder if there's going to be a post credits reveal for him. EDIT: Also what's Rio up to? My guess is it's animating corpses or making deals with ghosts.

    Dungeons & Dragons Has Done Away With the Adventuring Day

    Yeah, my point is will the DMG contain such advice? And said encounter with waves of enemies will also play differently depending on how many resources PCs have left.

    Dungeons & Dragons Has Done Away With the Adventuring Day

    Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too. A fight where spellcasters can nova and one where they are down half their spells are to very different fights even when they're against the same enemies. From what I see in the PHB, none of that has changed. Are we still going to get new DMs asking, "Why...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    I think seeing them as undead is another likely possibility. The show has already had at least one ghost.

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    I enjoyed that Teen's "slumber party" outfit had the same color scheme as . Also Rio's reaction when the Ouija board says "Death." Ending was great. Was Teen playing them the whole time, or did Agatha just get to him and he snapped. Rio is conspicuously absent. Clearly the mud doesn't kill...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    I think her need is family/community, and the show is hinting at this in multiple ways. The most blatant is the witch's road, where she literally needs a coven to enter it and needs witches of various talents to find people. I bet by the end of the series she'll come to actually like them...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    Saw them both last night and enjoyed them. And is it me, or is the melody for "Down the Witches Road" a reworking of "Agatha All Along" (as in her theme song in Wandavsion)

    D&D General Flute and Drum, or why should bards have all the fun?

    Sneak Attack Press recently released the newest book in the This and That line and it's all about musical instruments: Flute and Drum. From Orpheus singing Cerberus to sleep, to the Pied Piper leading away children, to Thorin and company’s songs of the Lonely Mountain, music plays an important...

    Fiction Writer's Thread

    I've written a handful of short stories that I'm shopping around to various markets, but so far no bites. I'm working on a novel and about 1/3 or the way through.
