    Spoilers The Marvels (Spoilers)

    I forgot to add the flying into the sun bit to revive Hala's star. From a story perspective its good that she realizes she played a part in this and needs to step up and fix things. The how part of that raises a lot of questions that are best left alone. Or maybe she had the Quantum bands on to...

    Spoilers The Marvels (Spoilers)

    Just saw this. Pardon the stream of consciousness. Should you see it in theaters? I think so. The movie was fun. It had a silliness to it that would feel at home in a GotG movie. Unlike GotG 3, The Marvels doesn't have the same heart to balance that silliness. That's to be expected. This isn't...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    The joke is that the war wasn't going to happen because the loom's failsafe destroys anything but the sacred timeline. So no war. Just reset. But Loki broke the failsafe, ending the loop, and putting war back on the menu. We as an audience knew the war was coming from Quantumania, but that...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    I'll take a stab at it. He Who Remains won the multiversal war. He knows what it takes to do that and works to ensure that attempts at undoing his victory (branching timeliness with Kang variants) will fail. The whole Ouroborus/Mobius infinite loop thing. With this knowledge and power he kind...

    Looks like war's back on the menu, boys.

    SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE - Official Trailer

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse is on Netflix now (at least in the US). It was nice to get a rewatch in and my excitement for part 3 is rejuvenated.

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    Wasn't expecting Timely to get the Mr. Fantastic spaghetti treatment. We'll see how it all shakes out in future episodes, but I am excited by this show's ability to surprise me.

    D&D General D&D is a Team Sport. What are the positions?

    I'm going to try this with volleyball. Have I ever played volleyball in a structured setting? No. Have I watched a lot of volleyball? No. Will any of this be accurate? Maybe. Will I defend my choices? Hard pass. Setter: not surprisingly this position is in charge of setting up the offense and...

    D&D 5E (2014) WOTC Possibly Removing "Druids" for Religious/Cultural Sensitivity Reasons

    Well this has sent me down a rabbit hole. I could've told you that Druids had a priestly or shamanic role in Celtic societies and were pretty much wiped out during the Christianization of the British Isles. But that is about it. Some neat things I learned: It seems that Druid and Bard both come...

    D&D 5E (2024) What variant rules do you want to see?

    Zones instead of 5 foot measurements. Love me some zones. I prefer it over distance bands, but those are good too. A multiclassing system that has a different progression for each class compared to that class' progression if they didn't multiclass. Something closer to the progressions from the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Twinning Dragons Breath Spells?

    I allow it. The game doesn't feel broken if you do and that was how I interpreted the rules as written. For the future a simpler Twinned metamagic would be allowing it for any spell that can target an additional creature when upcasting. That way it effectively becomes a free upcast and the...

    NaNoWriMo 2023

    I've never approached writing in this way before. It's also been years since I did anything approaching the scale of 50k words. Weirdly, I have a very open November assuming nothing crazy pops up. I might just have to try this. Is it too on the nose if I write a story about the first 5e...

    NaNoWriMo 2023

    I've heard of NaNoWriMo, but never really looked into it. 50,000 words in a month is wild. Is there an assumption that people don't do much in the way of editing until after the month is over?

    Final Fantasy XIV Getting an Official TTRPG

    Well there goes one of my go to answers whenever the question, "What IP should have a TTRPG that currently doesn't" shows up.
