    Thanks for reminding me of Jollibee. They have a location in Philly now. Been meaning to try it out.

    What is the single best science fiction or fantasy franchise?

    I could put some thought into answering this. Or listen to every fiber of my being which are currently reverberating with the words “Star Trek”.

    Best comic storyline

    Claremont’s X-Men run. Grant Morrison’s run on Doom Patrol. ”The Doll’s House” and “Season of Mists” from Gaiman’s Sandman. The first dozen or so issues of Stray Bullets. Most of Milligan’s Shade the Changing Man. All of Ellis’s Transmetropolitan. Can you tell when I was really into comics? 😀

    What are you reading in 2023?

    I’m on a “reading 21st century science fiction I should have read by now” kick. Finished Peter Watts‘s Blightsight and Echopraxia. Currently finishing Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Ruin (the one about octopuses).

    D&D General When the fiction doesn't match the mechanics

    Hussar does have the advantage in that he’s accurately describing how fiction works.

    D&D General When the fiction doesn't match the mechanics

    Every version of D&D models protagonists. That’s what hit points and the leveling system do.

    D&D General Character named after someone more famous.

    In a beloved by me at least 3e campaign I named one NPC “Dr. Mephisophocles” after, well, Sophocles and Mephistopheles and another NPC “The Right Reverend Don Magic Wand” after a pimp friend of Snoop Dogg named Don Magic Juan. Do either of those count?

    D&D General Should D&D Be "Hard"

    There’s no answering this outside of individual group preferences. Or definitions of what constitutes a difficult challenge. Or what abilities are even being challenged. For example, most of my games feature an element of friendly competition over making the most amusing character.

    Where to find Morrus, EN World, & EN Publishing

    The signup page still has a big modal box saying "Join Twitter today" (with a little X above that). When you close it, you get taken to the X splash page. I totally would trust this team with my financial transactions. Or my Mars colony.

    Where to find Morrus, EN World, & EN Publishing

    He can name the parent company any letter he likes, but Twitter is also the brand. Rebranding one of the most recognized global brands on a whim seems... ill-advised. Or advised by too many rails of cocaine.

    Strange New Worlds season 2 - SPOILERS

    Good Lord that was entertaining. I think the attention to character made it more than just fan service. I really want some live-action Lower Decks now.

    I thought you were going to post a clip from Buffy’s “Once More, With Feeling”. That’s the high-water mark for this sort of thing, isn’t it?
