    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - whats around the corner? Shade-9 maintained a cautious pace, avoiding the entangling weeds and slick stone alike, his optics scanning as he tracked the water’s flow, shifts in the current and ripples indicating movement, the glint of light off rock, the fall of...

    D&D General What if we gave dragonborn four arms?

    European heraldry is a very poor source of Dragon canon, in that you get four, two and no legged dragons, some dragons the size of a horse, some with wings, some without and any number of heads

    You mean Merlin wasnt Galifreyan? You also have the green knight being a robot or is it a Transformer?

    its still not better than the first Reeve movie, Reeve got Supermans depiction right and it was a Superman movie not Kal and his Super friends

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    The comic book version of Mr Terrific (and as he appeared in the Justice League cartoon) was deeply committed to justice and fairplay, acting as a voice of reason and moral compass to his team. This version was a bit more rash in his approach and too ready to kill the kaiju.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Did Gunn use Superman as a proxy for himself? The punk trope felt like it, hilarious Yeah I seriously didnt like the Kents being presented as yokels, especially when they should be the moral grounding that made Clark the good person he is. I liked the movie much more than I thought I would, it...

    “Acknowledged." Shade-9 tilted his head slightly at Darius’s reaction, the glowing blade still held in his outstretched hand. [Observation: [Subject:Darius] – Visual aversion to sudden photonic surge.] His tone was flat, with only the slightest modulation. "Your visual sensitivity was not...

    Why do the Actors Matter?

    I think RDJs Tony Stark got a nice story arch from origin to heroic ending, I like that and appreciate that the MCU want to preserve it There are so many characters available to Marvel that sometimes its nice to tell a story then retire that character to make room for someone else. (Yeah...

    Why do the Actors Matter?

    Did they? I didnt see much bitchy, especially considering the former actor was too busy being dead to reprise the roll

    wait - I can have a pet druid? (okay it includes sidekicks I just thought it was funny that in the list of beasts and monsters druid was included - I can understand why bard would be ::))

    Draw Steel: Fake variety helps no one

    Metacurrencies are a good mechanic, that gives players a choice and a physical token to use to affect game flow, they add to fun. But mechanics are not the Game and that (I think) is where the mistake of "everyone gets a different resource" comes in. People in play, dont want to try to remember...

    Why do the Actors Matter?

    Yeah Hank Pim is a strange one to get hung up over since the character as portrayed by Douglas was a supporting character to Paul Rudd. I agree that the Michael Douglas version of Hank should be retired but if they were to do a Hank Pym Antman movie set in the 1960s I would fully expect a new...

    Spoilers MEGAN 2.0

    I just saw MEGAN 2 and it was surprisingly entertaining. They've given up any pretence of horror and instead gone for a spy action comedy, with murderous AI making amusingly sassy quips. The plots convoluted but the action is fun "Hold on to your ..."

    D&D General What if we gave dragonborn four arms?

    I really didnt see the point of Dragonborn because Half-dragons and Draconians already existed. But its no biggie. With 2024 making lineage mainly cosmetic, none of them need to core really. It would be good if the PHB could make that explicit and let DMs and groups choose their own 'setting...

    Draw Steel: Fake variety helps no one

    Yeah designers like Mr Colville do seem to over design, especially when they latch on to a 'cool' idea like 'every class uses a different resource'. Its the old Gygax Thesaurus problem of too many synonyms, but all doing the same thing. Then again maybe they do different things despite...

    D&D General Can I use your character for an NPC in my new market?

    Snatch, the Vicious Little Dog and Thimble her Human Ratcatcher Snatch crouched atop her bucket, eyes half-lidded, black tipped ears flicking like knife points. Her muscles tense as a coiled spring stuffed into a sack of wiry fur and bad temper. The meat-sack humans jostled and yelled and...

    D&D General Can I use your character for an NPC in my new market?

    Riding high atop a giant, carnivorous hamster with glossy brindled fur and a suspiciously bloodstained harness, a gaily dressed gnome grinned at the crowd with manic energy, rose up to his full two feet and lifted his hat - from which a column of purple smoke trailed before bursting into a...

    D&D General What if we gave dragonborn four arms?

    not really, or at least not in the same round. Just need to clarify that a four armed creature can grip up to four weapons but the upper and lower arms cant wield weapons at the same time. (You get the cool image of the Naga with four swords but not extra wields) You need two hands to wield a...

    D&D General Why did Marids change?

    Yeah there are a number of Persian and Chinese tales about Fisherman catching magic fish who plead for mercy and grant the fisherman luck and wealth in return. Most of the stories become a moral about choosing wisdom over greed. Its also true that Jinniyah are shapeshifters often taking the form...
