    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    It was part of the economic stimulus plan President Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt introduced to turn the Great Depression around. It is designed to soup up the Christmas spending season, and has worked for nearly 100 years to do so.

    I love it when the art direction does stuff like this.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    The number of named and detailed NPCs in the FR is a miniscule fraction of the whole population.

    Kickstarter Traveller 5e powered by the DnD SRD in 2026 crowdfunding

    I mean, to nail the Traveller vibe, the rules are going to be different enough to make it as steep a learning curve as learning Traveller rules...?

    Kickstarter Traveller 5e powered by the DnD SRD in 2026 crowdfunding

    Yeah, just seems like a fraught enterprise that ks likely to end up neither fish nor fowl. If they pull it off, could be great. If it ia not readily compawith other 5E material, however, seems like a peculiar enterprise. Yeah, I also wouldn't forsee any confusion there: Traveller 5 is not the...

    D&D General Frustating Misunderstandings About Warlocks

    He really did impress me when he was one of the first to break out previews for the new PHB, giving a non-sensationalized or emotive take that gave the changes a fair shake.

    Kickstarter Traveller 5e powered by the DnD SRD in 2026 crowdfunding

    I love them both, but they juat don't fit. 5E sci-fi is totally doable, but it would necessarily be kind of a high-powered gonzo Sci-Fi...which is not Traveller. It is not a heroic story milieu, not in the same high octane action that 5E provides at least. You know what will be a good fit for...

    First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

    On the subject of Uk'atoa (Uk'atoa), the very first thing Darrington Press provided was a board game with this jaunty theme song (a sea shanty, as was the style at the time), prior to amy cartoon show:

    First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

    Went back to the UA where the Fathomless was introduced @plecostomus , and yup, the cause and effect from Mighty Nein to the published option was noted at the time:

    D&D General Frustating Misunderstandings About Warlocks

    He also tends to eschew historonics, drama or clickbaiting by and large. Stays fairly chill, even if I am not into his particular brand of analysis, I respect the lack of toxic behavior.

    D&D General Frustating Misunderstandings About Warlocks

    Yes, exactly. Warlocks get 9th Level Spells.

    Kickstarter Traveller 5e powered by the DnD SRD in 2026 crowdfunding

    I'll be honest, as somebody who loves Traveller and 5E...this is confusing.

    First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

    Bingo. Hexblade, actually, though I'm actually pretty certain the Fathomless is based off of Fjord and the stuff that is being revealed about the source of the blade, based on the timing of Campaign 2and the relevant UA Transmuter, though that hasn't fully come up yet. Liam O'Brianreally...

    And unfortunately, Points Hat is usually one of the better ones.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    Yeah, that's their studio co-producing the cartoons, which considering how many seasons they have gotten from Amazon seem to be doing well.

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    The Stormlight RPG, no doubt.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    I think Darrongton Press is less a backup plan, and more a labor of love. Their TV production company, Metapigeon, is their more monetary investment, if anything, since they are experienced film and TV industry veterans.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    There were a few issues with the end here, for sure. For one, Tor wanted there to be a definite ending in case the book was not a success, the other is that Jordan's planned ending for the first novel of his trilogy (yes, trilogy) ia thw climax for book 3. Book 2 does a better job providing an...
