    D&D 5E (2014) Why 5e? Bringing Back the Cheesecake Factory!

    I thought this thread was going to be about bringing back cheesecake art in 5E. Instead i got another well written and interesting analysis of modern D&D by Snarf. No notes.

    Trailer Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* | D23 Brazil Special Look

    Yeah, that’s the other thing. It almost feels like he’s complaining (somewhat hypocritically given Russia is bigger) about how big America is. Which is fitting for his character. It’s been awhile since I watched it, but in Black Widow didn’t he also have a fixation with Captain America?

    If I thought people here were being sexist I would have called it out directly. My apologies if it came across that I was implying that about you, or anyone else specifically. I’m glad you liked the show.

    D&D 5E (2024) Kobold Press posts 2024 DMG Hit Piece

    After 10 years of being told the 5E DMG should have been aimed at new players, we're now getting complaints that the 5E24 is being aimed at new players? Also, I fail to see how 5E discourages homebrew. I noticed they closed the comments after the first couple of responses were pointing out...

    Trailer Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* | D23 Brazil Special Look

    I'm unsurprised that just mentioning She-Hulk online would result in at least a couple of guys needing to list everything they didn't like about the show. Par for the course and all that. But, the idea that no Russian would ever use the word 'big' to describe America is still baffling to me...

    Mort was my introduction to Discworld, so will always hold a special place in my heart.

    In the context of driving across the country, America is big regardless of where you’re from.

    I've always liked 4th wall breaking, from Annie Hall to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I particularly like how She Hulk referenced writing techniques such as A and B storylines etc... I thought it's usage was pretty clever. I brought it up as an example of a marvel show with a 'story of the week'...

    I just did a binge/re-watch on the weekend, which is why it was fresh in my mind. Fun show.

    I thought She-Hulk did a good of this format as she handled a different case each week/episode.

    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    Maybe not best of all time, but I wanted to mention one of the more unique horror/drama films I’ve seen in recent years… You won’t be alone. If you like original/experimental films, I would recommend checking it out.

    I often see complaints that there are too many Marvel movies. Personally I don’t think they are making enough, I would have been happy if we’d already had a Yelena solo trilogy by this point. Looking forward to this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Why aren't you using 5e 2024?

    In what way do you find 5E is bland? I see this a bit on these boards, usually in comparison to OSR. To me, having played OSE, I found that bland in that there was little in the way of options or flavour. I rolled poorly when making a character for example and so was pretty limited in what my...

    D&D 5E (2024) Did you make up your mind about 5.24?

    You can do what you want, of course. I just go by the old saying, never judge a book by its Kuo-Toa. 😉

    D&D 5E (2024) Did you make up your mind about 5.24?

    I personally think complete ignorance is a poor basis for forming opinions, but hey, you do you.

    D&D 5E (2024) Did you make up your mind about 5.24?

    So, you're saying there are superior books to one that isn't out yet, that you haven't read?

    When Do the 5E “Ride or Die” Folks Become Grogs Like The Rest of Us in “D&D Older Editions” And When Do We Get D&D 5E Flair for Posts?

    You’ve said they eliminated race as a factor in builds… Let’s say I wanted to build a fighter that can fly and uses a weapon with 10ft reach at level 3, how many other ways can you do that without using species? Just because there might be other ways to do something, doesn’t mean it’s not a...
