    D&D General A Quick Peek At Tiamat In Amazon's 'Secret Level' Anthology TV Show

    I quite liked the dnd episode. I don't know Warhammer lore, so I was underwhelmed until the demon at the end, that was cool.

    Arcane Season 2 Starts on Saturday, 9 Nov 24 on Netflix

    I still haven't forgiven Netflix for canceling Marco Polo or Sens8. So it is hard to get too deep into shows that have an uncertain lifespan. That said, I have loved Arcane. Animation is beautiful and expressive, I like these messy characters. I know little of the lore, as I tried the game once...

    What are you reading in 2024?

    So this is apparently the year for me reading books about people waking up on spaceships with no memory. In that I've now read two (any suggestions for a third?). The first was Project Hail Mary, which I loved and brought up earlier, but I just finished The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer...

    D&D 5E (2014) BG3 Patch 8 adds photo mode, crossplay, 12 more subclasses, and more!

    Larian continues to be the best. They could've just wrapped up development or made this a paid DLC. But no, another early Xmas gift.

    D&D General Rerolling Initiative each Round

    I dislike rerolling initiative, but when I do want a less static combat order I use Popcorn Initiative from FATE. The idea being the current player/monster chooses who goes next in the round. Whoever goes last picks Whoever goes first next round.

    D&D General It's 2034, and the new PHB is in your hands.

    You and me both, there's a real gallows humour to that one

    D&D General It's 2034, and the new PHB is in your hands.

    First, it cost a lot of bottle caps. Second, ghoul PC rules are extremely overpowered, but you can't tell them that. Third, there's some debate if the instant death on a nat 1 roll is too forgiving.

    D&D 5E (2024) Did you make up your mind about 5.24?

    Voted Yes, and I don't see much difference, but I also like it. Ultimately, I'm really pleased with the improvements to usability and readability. These books are a just better resources for running the game.

    MtG just made 3 UB sets per year Standard/Pioneer Legal and the Vorthos are mad

    This. MTG was trying to drink from a firehose before, add the supplemental sets like Masters and such and it's a lot to keep track of.

    MtG just made 3 UB sets per year Standard/Pioneer Legal and the Vorthos are mad

    Previous info had indicated more than one set, and the fact that Spider-Man gets his own (well, more the Spider-verse, I guess) does imply probably 2 more. At least I'm hoping the Mutants get their own, because that's where my primary interest in Marvel comics is. I have noticed that the...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    I'm 90% sure most of the failing narrative is coming from the anti-woke grifter content mill. For myself, this show is on track to becoming my fav D+ MCU show, the Andor that reignites my fandom.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    Where would Sasserine fall on Greyhawk? I'm about to run Savage Tide adapted to 5e, and I didn't find it on the map.

    That was fun, but these flashback episodes after a big reveal are starting to get a little rote

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I've been fascinated by "The Mountain in the Sea" by Ray Nayler. It's about the discovery of a sentient species of octopus. The world building is quite good.

    Any 3rd party adventures that are either Eberron specific or a good fit for Eberron?
