It was fun except that my GM had the jankiest of rulings for the final encounter. He said that the evil baddies could Unhallow their base, and put into effect a Silence spell that only affected non-believers, so our whole party couldn't cast spells, but the enemies could. Nonsense, but okay...

I'd go: STR - gear you can carry and use effectively, plus climb/jump/swim, and probably shove/grab; also saves to resist movement DEX - skills are good enough (Acrobatics, Stealth, Thievery); also saves to resist area damage CON - HP; also saves to resist poison INT - skills, languages; no...

Odd. I felt like the end of season 1 was phenomenal. This whole time, Loki has been looking to understand his place in the universe, to regain some sense of agency, but when he finally gets the chance, he realizes that what matters to him more is staying with Sylvie. He, like, finally cares...

The stats should be: Awareness Brawn Cunning Daring Education Fanciness Grit Health Initiative Justice Killing We are making a Cowboy game, right? --- Or more seriously, if I were in charge of D&D, I'd keep the 6 scores, since the 6 scores are sacred cows -- but they're kinda dumb sacred...

I love a good minstrel pun. And maybe not during the adventure path series, but by the Adventures in ZEITGEIST book in 2021, yes, it's canon to think of the monarch of Risur as the titan of civilization. I don't recall who had that idea, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the various groups...

I have a player who wants to be a suave hero, seen as honorable and brave, but who is actually really deft at poisons -- both on blades and in goblets. What are some good ways to let him lean into this fantasy? Yes, there's basic poison that just gives people disadvantage if they fail saves...

That's a long gap between sessions. I'm actually running WotBS for my group now, including one player whose character in the original campaign that inspired the series (back in 2003) was Guthwulf. Now he's playing Guthwulf's brother, who's also the same sort of affable evil, but opposed to...

I have been playing BG3 for the past month, and I very much enjoy the way they do magic items. You find a ton, they mostly all just give you some once per short rest ability, and you end up selling a whole bunch because you can't use them all. But they're fun little toys that give you new...

“I am the people’s servant” lands differently when you’ve literally been a butler, yeah. While other groups have had some grand moments, and some big philosophical highlights, I think your version of ZEITGEIST had some of the best understated personal connections among characters. I'm excited...

I've been playing a lot of BG3. Just use Thunderwave, Ezra! Punt them death troopers off the why-do-the-bad-guys-never-install-railings edge of the tower.

Maybe they can get Liev Schreiber for Baylan2.

Well, Quantumania almost was a story about Ant-Man reconnecting with his daughter. The trailer had that line that Kang could give him back the time he had lost, and man, that could have been neat. Eternals was basically a family dispute centered around a political disagreement, which was...

The show was decent, and if I had editing skills I'd chop out about 10% of each episode's unnecessary . . . slow . . . pauses . . . for . . . drama. Just do stuff, and if you need drama, get John Williams Kevin Kiner to have the music do the heavy lifting. Like, we don't need a 60 second scene...

I've been neck-deep in Baldur's Gate 3 this past month, and the temptation of 'dealing with all the sidequests while losing focus on the main plot' is real.

Along roads through regions without proper settlements where one might find shelter, the high temples of the nation have set up small shrines every three miles, which create a sanctuary effect and repel undead and extraplanar creatures, so travelers might sleep easily. You must make some sort...

As others pointed out, her idea started way back in 2002 as a "fantasy superhero" concept - The Halfling Titan. The art we had of her showed her throwing a wagon at a 20-ft tall goblin. Later I decided to name drop her in ZEITGEIST as a former queen renowned for wrestling giant foes. And when...

I don't know if this will make it into the character sheet, but when I did my write up for her, this was her background. Hook Stronger than her size belies, Zidi is touched by fey magic. Though hunted by minions of her gremlin godmother, Zidi hopes to use her powers to defeat those who think...

My only note is that the character sheet ought to mention her carrying capacity. Which, since she's got an 18 strength and every option available to increase her carry limit, is ridiculous.

It's been twenty years. They built a new one.
