Sure. Or course. I'm just not sure I want to mix PCs rebuilt using the 2024 rules with unmodified 5e PCs.

I’m still reading through the 2024 PHB but my initial opinion is, yes, this deserves to succeed. Not sure about incorporating it into my ongoing campaign, however. 2 PC subclasses (Swarmkeeper ranger & Path of Wild Magic barbarian) don’t exist (yet).

Good luck tilting at D&D! Say hi to Dulcinea and Rocinante for me. Also, maybe reconsider starting off with “what’s good for the gaming community…”.

I can't get Chappell Roan's "Casual" out of my head.

I do not think that is a good trailer. Especially given the Empress’s quality final episodes on DISCO with the Ed Asner-looking Guardian of Forever and weirdly poignant story of her personal growth set in the reliably violent and depraved Mirror Universe. That said, of course I’m going to watch it.

I just finished reading Bank's The Player of Games for the first time and am now rereading Noon's Vurt. Think I'll tackle rereading Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun after that.

I'd be twice as interested in an edition of Dungeon World that used half as many words.

D&D has spent the last 50 years being a lot of frequently contradictory things to an enormous number of people. So I am confused by the premise of the question.

Sample adventure: two unpopular teenagers perform a ritual with loincloths on their heads and summon a wise sexy genie who teaches them life lessons. She turns one teens' brother into an otyugh.

And Authority is the best (Lovecraftian) office comedy of all time. And thanks for the heads-up about a 4th Southern Reach book! I can read it before the next James S.A. Corey series hits.

Fixed anti-fiend shield with dynamite.

Why do people keep painting? ie, people's responses to game mechanics are often as aesthetic as they are utilitarian.

I think Kano crossed a line.

Space 1999? I want to play the guy who has an inappropriate workplace romance with Computer!

I use friendly-fire, but sparingly. The goal isn't added 'realism'. It's to give the player an interesting choice. When PCs shoot without a clear line of fire there'a a chance they hit an ally. I smile, remind them of this, and say, "don't roll low".

Gene Hackman as Royal Tenenbaum and Lex Luthor. Avery Brooks as Benjamin Sisko.

I think they were going for the emotional jiujitsu chop of a Joss Whedon cut to commercial and pretty much succeeded.

OK, this episode was great. Give the showrunner a crack at Kreia. She’s said in interview she wants to do Knights of the Old Republic (II).
