    Has anyone cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription as a protests over the OGL?

    I don’t have a paid sub and the 5e campaign I play in uses Beyond, so no. To add some perspective, I doubt more than one or two of the ten people in that game have any idea what’s happening with the new OGL (or what the OGL is, for that matter).

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    I‘m not jumping ship, per se. But my group did discuss playing a mini-campaign while I work out Part Two of our current 5e epic. We were thinking of using PbtA (Spirit of ‘77) to run ”Rollercops”, where every PC belongs to an ill-fated trial squad of roller-skating police in Venice Beach...

    Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

    He’s a famous old sports broadcaster & journalist in the US. Which made Bettany’s Chaucer perfect, since A Knight’s Tale is a contemporary sports movie in medieval drag.

    Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

    It’s a very clever film. But that kind of deliberate anachronism rubs some people the wrong way.

    Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

    Modern music ruined the movie where Geoffrey Chaucer is basically Howard Cosell?

    Barbie movie teaser trailer is out

    Well that looks pleasantly insane. "Greta's Gerwig and Noah Baumbach's new Barbie movie comes out next summer" is an amazing sentence to say our loud and then realize it's really true.

    NEWS; Gunning down the Snyderverse UPDATE Cavill gets the Kryptonite handshake!

    I’m going to pour a sip out — into my mouth — for the Snyderverse. Those films were good at the things the MCU movies were not. A patently ridiculous grandeur. Some comic book movies should have that.

    WotC Hasbro Bets Big on D&D

    I understand the concern, but in the case of D&D, don’t we make a lot of the content?

    WotC Hasbro Bets Big on D&D

    I was prepared to rail against 'subscribing to D&D'... ... until I remembered I upgraded my Roll20 account to the first paid tier, so I already do. I'll be back as soon as I update my diatribe to railing against 'being forced to subscribe to D&D through WotC'. (which is actually somewhat of a...

    Hollywood's creativity problem and a (ranty) stroll through endless remakes...

    I meant on TV. In the 70s. Damn, that still makes me old, doesn’t it?

    Avatar 2: Way of Water ... the PRE-POLL (Are you interested?)

    I’m going to see it. In 3D. Once. Like I did the first one. Visual spectacle is fine by me as long as it’s spectacular enough. I’m a lifelong reader of fantasy & science fiction. I’m used to the story not being good (but dragons and spacecraft being amazing). If I feel like my intelligence...

    Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

    I didn’t expect the Willow series to be The Wrath of Khan of Willow movies, which consists solely of Willow. ie, it’s about mortality, and unfortunate parental relations. That 3rd episode was very satisfying.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    I'm fine with 'species', will probably still use 'race' out of habit, and probably should try not to, because in my new home-brew setting the preferred term is 'people'.

    Dragon Age 4 - now The Veilguard

    I picked up a PS5 over Thanksgiving, so I’m ready to give Solas a… stern talking to. Think there’s a chance for a 2023 release?

    Counterpoint: the actor also played Lobby Boy, therefore is good.

    Chaos at Disney (Battle of the Bobs)

    Cornhole and drone racing on ESPN make me laugh... right up until I remember my favorite program on ESPN used to be "Cocktail Dress Ladies Billiards", which I swear was a real enough thing.
