    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    I find her to be a little annoying, she has a bit of a snobby attitude that can grate a little. Still, being a cleric she gets a spot on my team. My current attempt kept her, the warlock guy and I think the tiefling or maybe the githyanki. I think I got the tiefling but missed the first...

    D&D General Mike Mearls' blog post about RPG generations

    That's still a good chunk of us Gen Xrs that missed 1e, I'd say anyone born in the 70s would have had a good chance to miss 1e or perhaps only catch the tail end of it when the change was happening. I didn't even know anything about 1e until late 90s with the proliferation of the internet, but...

    D&D General Mike Mearls' blog post about RPG generations

    I read the article and pretty much agree with it, the trends are very broad but they are noticeable when it comes to the changes in DnD.

    Forgotten Realms Books to Have Several Digital DLCs, Including One Featuring Asterion

    Astarian is the one character in BG3 I don't care about picking up (well, in Act 1 anyway, I've barely made it into Act 2). I know roughly where he is, I just don't bother getting him, I find him to be super annoying.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Does anyone remember the show Automan: I've no idea if I'd still enjoy it (it popped into my head because I comment in the Tron:Ares trailer thread and Tron always reminds me of it), I had to google to find out what it was called but I remember watching it as a kid.

    Tron: Ares | Official Trailer

    Cool, more Tron, and just when I was thinking of rewatching the first two movies.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Just watched this last night and I thought it was brilliant, makes me care about Superman again. Krypto was a fun addition and thinking back, without him, Superman may have lost. Best fight sequence goes to Mr Terrific in the camp with the portal, I'd be keen to see a movie or series that...

    Pirate Borg general thread

    An undead talking parrot? The mermaid has an undead talking parrot that allows her to talk to animals (alive or dead) that has come in handy on a couple of occasions. I think I like all of the crazy items and a large part of the fun was the completely random character creation. I ended up...

    Pirate Borg general thread

    My friends and I have been having quite a bit of fun with pirate borg, no idea if our DM is running the meta-plot (I don't even really know what that is, I think it has something to do with an undead apocalypse). So far we went in search of a governor's daughter (i.e., rescue the princess) at a...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I think, since "Q" only appeared as that ball of light, they've kept speculation open as to the nature of Trelaine.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I thought Rhys Darby was perfect casting for Trelaine. I also picked up the voice of Q there and wondered about that. Perhaps he is a Q or perhaps something else and they thought they'd throw in John DeLancie as the voice of the dad to mess with Trek fans.

    New buddies sitcom in which 5 friends live together in a small apartment, sit at home and complain about how they can't afford to go out.

    D&D General What if we gave dragonborn four arms?

    Sounds great for dragon canon.

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    What if we gave dragonborn forearms?

    Draw Steel: Fake variety helps no one

    I guess the obvious response is to houserule it if you're going to run it so that everyone gets 2 points instead of 2 or 1d3.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Oh damn, I'd completely forgotten about that show, I remember loving it when it was in. Another show I enjoyed was Sliders. It was a show of many dimensions, truly unparalleled.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    I might have mentioned it in my earlier post, but I've recently started rewatching cheers. Haven't seen it since the 90s.

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    You could probably compare the number of times dice are rolled for something closer to time taken. Assuming 5th level (I used the theatre of mind assumptions for fireball, and my own experience for calculating burning hands) A burning hands spell is probably going to hit only a couple of...

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    This is an interesting thread to read, I've not played/run 5.5 so haven't seen weapon mastery in play but I always felt they didn't quite work as is but otherwise looked like a good addition (I was planning on some house rules if I did move, mostly that warriors learn a weapon mastery keyword...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sorcerer vs. Wizard: Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better?

    Since damage type rarely matters, why not just allow the draconic sorcerer to cast their energy type spells as the original element or their element at will when they cast? Allows them to always get a small damage bonus when throwing converted fireballs or lightning bolts and still allows them...
