    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Sometimes a railroad is all stops, other times it's an express. Sometimes a sandbox is a desert, other times it's a kitty litter tray. No right or wrong, all valid ways to play.

    Your most "visceral" experience at a movie theater.

    You're thinking of 'City of Angels', it was an American remake of the Wim Wenders masterpiece 'Wings of Desire'

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    Cheers, I'd missed that. Still seems like a really odd choice to make after filming the movie.

    Spoilers THUNDERBOLTS* (spoilers I guess?)

    I liked Thunderbolts* Positives: All the characters had great chemistry and I'd be happy just watching them riffing off each other for the movie's runtime. I liked that it avoided a CGI heavy fight at the end. Odd Stuff: It had a strange vibe, in that it felt like a small scale team-up film...

    Your most "visceral" experience at a movie theater.

    Anything by David Lynch, but specifically from the ones I recall the most: Lost Highway and Blue Velvet. In Blue Velvet I was sitting at the front of a mostly empty cinema. I became so freaked out at one point I went to the bathroom and washed my face, then came back into the cinema and sat at...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Horror Subclasses Unearthed Arcana

    I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I'm excited by the possibility of some Ravenloft content coming out for 5E24. I've always loved horror in DnD.

    D&D 5E (2024) Elemental Adept is a Bad Feat. Elemental Damage Vs Radiance Etc

    I took the Elemental Adept feat for a Fire Genasi Arcana Cleric I played at the start of Covid. It gave the character mad amounts of flavour.

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    Neither of which feels relevant (in my opinion) to the overall story. I personally like that some things are left untold. It feels like we're experiencing things from Andor's point of view. It makes the world feel lived in that things are happening off screen. I think the rabble that Andor...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    The arguing Rebels were there for a reason. They show us the state of the Rebellion 4 years before we see them in a New Hope. It also sets a tone of paranoia that is present throughout the whole series. It's no coincidence that we see Cassian contrasted with this group of idiots, it's to show...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    Personally, I disagree that there's been anything boring or unnecessary. This season especially, I've been locked in since Cassian climbed into that experimental ship at the start of the first episode. I'm the same, I bet there's a spike in people watching Rogue One next week, directly after...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    Out of interest, how are people watching the show? Are you watching all 3 episodes when they drop, or an episode per night, or something else? Maybe you're waiting for it all to be out so you can just binge the entire series?

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    Sublime stuff! I really loved the way the Force was represented in this arc. Also: they made droids feel terrifying. The show has already topped the high water mark set by season 1 and we still have 3 episodes left. This will be me waiting for next week:

    What Are Your Non-Gaming Hobbies/Interests?

    Movies and live music, but mostly art. I’ve been exhibiting my drawings for just over 20 years now. Just had my 40th solo exhibition in January this year.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Played another session of Wild Beyond the Witchlight, in which we’ve converted our characters over to the new rules. It was a shorter session as we started late. In the end we finished on a cliffhanger where we’re about to fight the first Hag. I’m a sucker for a good pre-boss fight cliffhanger...

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    As to the topic at hand, I’m pretty excited for most of the opening slate of releases. It’s interesting to see them using a similar formula to the 2014 product kick-off, but with a few tweaks. Dragon adventures: instead of a dragon themed adventure path/campaign it’s a dragon themed adventure...
