    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    I was a bit disappointed because I thought this thread would be talking about circus troupes as a framing device for an adventuring party. I did play in a game once where we were part of a circus troupe, and it was a lot of fun! Ironically, as a part of the setting we all had to play humans too

    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    As others have noted, the Mamoa recasting was absolutely a matter of correcting a massive casting mistake in the first place for something that Mamoa is actually an insanely good choice for (say what you will about the Minecraft movie, thank you I will it was dreadful, but it was also probably...

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    The thing is, many of the most iconic pieces of the franchise, especially basically everything from 2015 (the giant video wall, the Reagan-themed diner, flying cars, the hoverboard, the sports almanac) are all from the second film. 1 definitely has its iconic moments, but 2 is almost unarguably...

    State of the Mongoose 2025

    I was recently flipping through one of the Shield Maidens sourcebooks (shoutout to @CleverNickName and @MongooseBella!) and remarking what a difference a quarter-century can make for a TTRPG company, as I recall sitting in a college dorm room flipping through my friend's copy of Quintessential...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    I'll say that it's clever, and it's better than what we all did pick up on, for sure, but it still runs into a little bit of the problem of naming the thing after the ingredient, though it's a little bit more descriptive here than is typical for that. But in any case, it's always a lot easier to...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    I was going to say; cloud giants dealing with dream stuff and the reference to the Doppelganger all felt like reminders of some of my own past entries, so I chuckled a bit when I saw Rune's comment. Almost like it was a few vampires and Y2K reference away from being a greatest hits for all three...

    And that looks like three votes for @AustinHolm, who is our new Iron DM for 2025! Congratulations are in order! I don't know how often we've had any rookie champions, but it's a rare feat regardless. But will you be able to defend your crown next year? We'll have to wait and see... @Fenris-77...

    General video game discussion

    In fairness to what I know of the MoM fandom, opinion on the remake is as low as your chances of retaking a rebellious town housing a full stack of high-leveled halfling slingers. Speaking from personal experience, of course
