    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    I didn’t want to watch “Rules of Engagement” (more Klingon stuff, courtroom drama), but I’m determined not to skip any episodes. I watched it sped up. It turned out to be OK. “Hard Times” was a hard watch. Talk about Miles suffering. Whew!

    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    It's certainly hard for the guy in my Eberron game playing an artificer. I let the other players update to the new versions of their PC classes thinking that he'd be able to do so around the same time, but then the book got hit with the delay, and now he's left waiting ... he keeps asking, "When...

    Yes, that's where I'm up to ... Keiko and Molly just returned after their year away. Yes, Miles groused a bit about losing his bachelor life with Julian, but Keiko saw that he was pining around, and she cared enough about Miles to arrange for him and Julian to spend some time together again...

    I dunno. In the episode I just watched, she could see Miles was pining to play with Julian, so she told him she’d bumped into Julian and noticed he was depressed and needed cheering up. After Miles left, she called Julian and told him that Miles was depressed and needed cheering up. So far I...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    I didn’t really enjoy “Sons of Mogh”. I have little patience for Klingon culture these days. The only part I liked was when Sisko got mad at Worf and Dax. “Bar Association”, on the other hand, was terrific! Loved seeing Rom stand up for himself and find his own path in life instead of always...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Binged some DS9 last night. “Our Man Bashir” was fun. Always a delight getting to watch the main cast play acting as other characters. (Avery as usual gave 110%.) The two-parter about the changelings on Earth was good, too. The Sisko family stuff was great, and I also enjoyed the way in which...

    Marvel's VisonQuest coming 2026

    Curious. I've been tentatively looking forward to this one ever since White Vision flew off at the end of WandaVision. If I had to take a guess, the presence of all those other AIs suggests they will be helping White Vision become the real Vision? Perhaps through flashbacks as he "unlocks" his...

    I think it is time for a break.

    It wasn't intended as a break ... but when I packed up and left the USA to move to NZ in 2003 to get married and start my "adult" life, I gave away my D&D stuff, thinking I would not ever play again. However, just a few years later, my younger siblings-in-law convinced me to play 3.5e with them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best D&D 5e alternate ruleset?

    I signed up to his Patreon newsletter, and I get regular emails with updates. He's definitely still actively working on it.

    I’m still holding out for @mearls Odyssey game. So far it’s been ticking all the boxes for me. Can’t wait for the finished product!

    D&D 5E (2024) Did Vampires just become more of a problem?

    FYI: Not all lizardfolk are elementals. Just those specific NPCs in the MM. the rest are still humanoids and would be represented by all the generic NPC stats in the same book.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    I may have to go back and rewatch the ending, but I feel like the changeling in the early season 4 episode who sabotages the Defiant doesn't resemble Odo in the moments before Odo accidentally kills him. (Also, I assume that has consequences for Odo down the track?)

    Who is your favorite James Bond?

    OK I just rewatched both of Dalton’s Bond films today. I must admit I was mistaken. Bouvier is a badass throughout the film and is no swooning damsel even by the end. I actually really liked both of these films, so I might have to reassess my rating of Dalton. Craig is still #1 for me, but...

    D&D General Should the third Forgotten Realms DLC have actually been set in the Forgotten Realms?

    Yes. A MtG-plane-as-multiversal-Feywild-realm feels tacked on.

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    I've experienced this before, both as a player and as a DM. Sometimes it's OK, but at other times, it doesn't end well. With my "home" group, my players currently consist of my teenage daughter, my wife, and another couple who are friends of ours. They've only ever played 5e (since 2014 for the...
