I've read very little Expanded Universe stuff, but I always imagined the Jedi as initially being like hedge knights. Very slowly over time they became an organization, which got increasing tied to other large organizations, and then we get to the Prequel era where they are very clearly not what...

Honestly I'd rather have another season of The Acolyte than Ahsoka - unless the next season of Ahsoka has lots more Hayden and Arianna Greenblatt, and/or they let Rosario Dawson be something other than stoic.

Thank you for articulating something that's been bothering me but hadn't gelled in my brain until now. I can see how the weapon properties system they're introducing has appeal - it gives a few easy-to-understand options that makes some weapons more interesting depending on what you're trying...

I consulted several best-of lists of Rebels episodes, and a list of the Ahsoka eps of Rebels, and wound up watching probably...a 3rd of Rebels? I did this and rewatched several later Clone Wars eps I hadn't seen. That was my Ahsoka prep! Rebels just didn't grab me.

I found Ahsoka pretty boring, except for the Anakin flashback stuff. But then, I had no investment in the Rebels characters or situations.

Yeah, if there's one thing that rubbed me the wrong way it was getting us to like a bunch of those characters and then killing them to show how badass the villain was. It was almost traumatic.

Strixhaven always interested me, for reasons I don't quite understand! :D

Thank you for seeing me!

Now I'm trying to think if there's any 5E books on my want list...

I mostly really enjoyed this series. I'm not super tied to canon or expanded universe stuff, so for me it's mostly about doing interesting stuff with Star Wars-y things, keeping my interest, surprising me - that kind of thing. I liked the cast, too. Did not see the switcheroo coming until it was...

I could definitely go back to the 2014 version, and you're right that it would need to be beefed up somehow if my group segues to 2024 D&D. I like Tale of the Valiant's "Martial Action" feature for fighters, and Level Up's non-combat class features might make up some of the difference, too.

This is a sound approach! You're gonna get some great deals, I imagine!

If this 2024 edition isn't the success they want, maybe it will motivate them to create an official 6th edition that embraces some actual conceptual changes. EDIT: I didn't mean that as snarky as it might read. I'm not knocking the 2024 books. It will just be interesting to see how the game...

I've been playing a 2024 playtest fighter (battle master) in my weekly game for months now, and updated it recently as best as I could from what I know about the final form of the 2024 fighter. I have to say, between the weapon properties, combat maneuver, and new uses for Second Wind? It is...

Really, just hiking anywhere does it for me, but hiking in a new place really does it! I recently spent some time on the east coast of Newfoundland, and hoo boy! It's basically endless rocky, jagged coasts dominated by cliffs, and in some of those cliffs are caves!

Interesting! I like a lot of things about DW, but something about the presentation has always been off-putting.

Is there a limit on how many of your attacks per turn can use the Vex property? Because with Two-Weapon Fighting and shortswords, you can hit with the first attack, give yourself advantage with the second, and when you hit with the second you're giving yourself advantage with the first attack on...

I backed Shadowdark and Tales of the Valiant, both at the print level: Shadowdark is just one book, and TotV I backed just for the Player's Guide. Shadowdark is as great as you've heard it is: clear, straightforward, simple, and a great cross between 5E and OSR. The TotV PG borders on...

Exactly. I haven't seen this new PHB, but from what I hear there are no lists of gods for cleric players to look at in it.

"...but check with your DM." Problem solved. But give the players something to work with. Maybe list some examples - from WOTC's own settings, and historical deities - with each domain. The DMG can elaborate on any of that, of course. Also: I'm used to a different style of play, I guess. Unless...
