Just watched the WotC video on the Greyhawk setting in the DMG. Chris Perkins states that this is the first time a "campaign hub" has been detailed in a DMG. Isn't that not true? Wasn't Saltmarsh in an earlier DMG? A campaign hub doesn't need to be a mega-city like Greyhawk or Waterdeep to...

I love OG Greyhawk ... great to see it back in the game! The Greyhawk hate in 4E was very disappointing.

Yeah, but a new Sub in the '50s ran about $150 US, which inflated to 2024 dollars is about $1,950 US today. So there's a 500% markup today for a used watch. Kind of crazy (but that's luxury goods for you).

It's funny how much things have changed, and not purely from inflation. Back in the '40s and '50s, Rolexes were pricey but still affordable watches, used by divers for their functionality and somewhat common in the military (to the point that there's an old 60s-70s-era Army joke that to be a...

Rolex Sub with the NATO strap. There is no other.

Are we shouting out animal names? Puffin! Pangolin!

I'm watching at this point out of morbid curiosity. My spouse -- not a Tolkien fan who last saw LotR 20 years ago -- seems to enjoy it as generic fantasy. We just finished Episode 4, and the number of 'member berries caused me to realize that I think I know how the script was written: they fed...

Hey, two Amazon fantasy shows. Seemed like an apt comparison. I bet they paid less for LoVM.

Bad writing? The script and voice acting are far better than Rings of Power IMO.

Thanks for this! Didn't know about the series, and now I'm seven episodes in. Great to see some real D&D entertainment.

Thanks for the insight. I figured you'd find it eventually. Besides: Snarfljuice! Snarfljuice! Snarfljuice! has a better ring than "@".

IANAL ... Snarf?! Could CAH simply confiscate (and subsequently dispose of / destroy) the equipment that SpaceX has trespassed on their property? I mean, if it's a marked area that's mine, and you're not supposed to be there, and you throw trash on my property, it would seem like I should be...

The old edition is new to me. So it that a new edition or an old edition?

Finally saw it -- was quite happy. It's a worthwhile add to the first two movies. Just one nitpick ... planetary rings don't work like that!

For those not familiar with the source material, here's the story from Appendix A of Return of the King:

I was concerned on the original announcement, because I don't love anime and find most anime styles difficult to watch. This looks fine to me, so I hope the story and voice acting are up to the challenge -- optimistic for a good movie. Though the outfit Hera is wearing when she walks in the...

Yeah, I agree. The older I get and the more franchises I get exposed to, the more I feel like the fandom's desire to have every little bit of background and lore explained is actually detrimental to the franchise. Tolkien's writing, for example, is full of a bunch of textual ruins that (IMO...

WARNING this thread contains spoilers for the various films in the Alien franchise. So ... What are the unanswered questions, or things you would like to see addressed, in the Alien universe? Here's a couple for me to start (I haven't seen Romulus, and don't really remember Prometheus, so if...

Despite the dagger in his chest. Gotta love high level D&D.

I just want to play a coherent and viable Ranger class. Is this the PHB for me?
