    Spoilers Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers)

    Yes. Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp are two of my favorite movies, Marvel or otherwise. The third one is such a letdown, and clearly suffers from not including more of the supporting cast. Seriously, how can you make an Ant-Man movie without a scene with Luis recounting the grapevine?

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the latest/last printings of the 2014 core rulebooks?

    So I stopped by a local Barnes & Noble bookstore and glanced through the core books there. Here are the printings I found there: Player's Handbook: 16th printing Dungeon Master's Guide: 17th printing Monster Manual: 17th printing There was a notation that the 10th printing was in 2018, but no...

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    Shrinking stat blocks to gain space can be a worthy goal, but there is one thing I like about standardizing stat blocks that include standard entries: If a field is left out, like Size or Speed, one can be left wondering if it is intentionally left out or is it a typo? A rare case, but a reason...

    D&D 5E (2024) Max Slow possible?

    You've probably considered the obvious ones, but here you go: The slow spell. I guess you would have to have a scroll or an item to cast it, since you would need to be a 14th level Eldritch Knight to get it. This would halve their movement. Grease, or Shove, or any of many other ways to make...

    D&D General Wildemount's Core Spawn

    Zerg? Tome of Beasts has been on my list to pick up for awhile. Maybe time to do so. Thanks!

    D&D General Wildemount's Core Spawn

    Yeah, the Core Spawn seem a bit on the high side for their CRs, but only one has an AoE. The CR 1 crawler has pack tactics and 4 attacks, which could get deadly quick. I assume they are tough because Critical Role has a party of 7+ and they can handle it. This is part of the reason I am looking...

    D&D General Wildemount's Core Spawn

    I am building up to a big adventure site with Core Spawn (from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount -- they are Critical Role's spin on the Star Spawn from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes). I want to expand their ranks so I am looking for any suggestions of third party monsters that fit their alien...

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Yes, large shareholders as you mention get reps on boards, but I would still say I doubt executive boards weighed in on the initial decision making we have seen from WotC. That level of micromanaging would be silly. Do you really think the OGL plan was an agenda item on a board-level meeting? I...

    D&D 5E (2024) MichaelSomething's Official Statement on the 2014 D&D rules going out of print

    They had more than that one commercial. Not as many as something like McDonald's or a car company, but I think I saw 3 or 4. Plus they advertised in a few mainstream magazines.

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Just to be clear, Hasbro/WotC business decisions are not made by the shareholders. Well, the execs who do make those decisions are shareholders, but only a tiny percentage of them. I know as I do own a few shares of Hasbro stock, and I was never asked to vote on the OGL issue or any other...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the latest/last printings of the 2014 core rulebooks?

    If no one knows a definitive answer, I would appreciate it if folks could post up the latest printings of books they have seen/purchased recently. A few reports could give me a good idea of what I should be looking for. Thanks in advance!

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Freedom of speech in the USA only protects one from any retaliation by the government. It does not spare you from actions taken by private individuals, like future employers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    Ah! I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought the statblock section you provided was a block you were critiquing, and not your own example.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 House Rules / Fixes

    I currently tie it to Shield Proficiency: If you are proficient: 1 Bonus Action to equip, Free Action to drop. If you are not proficient: 1 Action to equip, 1 Bonus Action to drop. I like this idea! I really would like more general Reactions for all PCs and NPCs. Interesting... I will have to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    Usually true, but there will be cases where creatures have Reach, so it's good to call that out. Also, there will be targets at the edge of a range increment, and I have to stop and think "Do they get Disadvantage on this attack?" I am too old (and/or played too many editions) to remember every...
