    D&D 5E (2024) I think we are on the cusp of a sea change.

    I think it’s also a byproduct of the ongoing conversion of D&D from hobby to entertainment. Tinkering will still happen, and we may even be provided tools for it, but an increasing proportion of players and even DMs will have no interest in doing so. Nevermind that the increasing proportion of...

    D&D 5E (2024) I think we are on the cusp of a sea change.

    I, for one, appreciate the subtlety. That’s the kind of thing I’ve been wanting in a monster description for at least twenty years. Bonus points if they give us a few examples for each monster.

    D&D 5E (2024) I think we are on the cusp of a sea change.

    I don’t think the mechanics are going to change much. But WotC likely are going to pursue (and frankly already have been for a while) a different demographic than when 5e was in development. And that makes sense. Likely a huge chunk of their audience (players and viewers) weren’t even around...

    Loaded up with buff spells. I’d buy that. He even has a spellbook of sorts (assortment of trick arrows).

    She explains the reason she’s concerned in that very conversation: they both thought the Ronin suit was destroyed, too. If the one survived (and found its way to the black market), the other might also have.

    If so, he’d be the only bard in fiction who doesn’t like being the center of attention. Even Gandalf is less reserved.

    According to Clint, that watch could blow the cover of (and lead to the death of) an old friend. I’ve heard speculation that it could be Coulson, which I’m inclined to see as possible.

    Hawkeye hands out so many assists between his trick shots, they must be bonus actions. On top of that, he’s fully capable of inspiring someone back into a fight (as seen in Age of Ultron). Hawkeye is the party cleric, and he’s loaded up on buff spells. (Or, in 4e, probably a Ranger/Warlord...

    Speak for yourself! I’ve always recognized Hawkeye as the MVP of the MCU Avengers!

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2021 AD

    She was the Distinguished Professor in Residence in Appalachian Studies at my alma mater, Berea College, though that was after I graduated. She gave some guest lectures before that, though. Not surprisingly, she was a potent speaker.

    Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

    This episode raises a couple of questions for me. First: Is Val connected to Kingpin, or is this just a case where Kate’s mom has connections with many bad people who are not necessarily connected themselves? Second: I’m pretty sure the pic Val showed Yelena of Clint has him in the Ronin...

    The thing is, there really isn’t any research to do, unless she can somehow track down the Red Skull for an interview. The thing I wonder about is where that photo that Val showed her even came from. Pretty sure it’s from the moment Natasha tracked Ronin down in Endgame.

    It does seem likely that Laura Barton was/is an agent of some kind, but I very much doubt that the watch is hers. It’s waaay too fancy/expensive/conspicuous for the Bartons. That’s the kind of watch you’d expect to see on a Tony Stark or a Dr. Strange. If it were Laura’s, I’d expect it to be...

    TSR TSR3.5 Launches IndieGogo Campaign to "Stop" WotC

    As much as I am loathe to defend a couple of grifters making bad-faith arguments to prey upon a demographic that is feeling left behind by their hobby and society (especially by pedaling intollerance), I feel compelled to point out that the fact that the disclaimer says “These depictions were...

    D&D 5E (2014) How crunchy is D&D 5E

    The 5th edition of D&D is: a) less crunchy than it used to be but: b) more crunchy than I wanted it to be. I guess that makes it a 5 or 6. Which is, I suppose, a good reflection of where most players were in 2012-2014, when playtesting was happening. I do wonder what 5e would look like if...

    Thoughts on the rebooted He-Man (Netflix)

    Having just finished the series, I must say…I wasn’t expecting to see so much of Dogma’s DNA in it. Given the . I wonder if we’ll get a new season now that .

    Regarding her decision-making: it’s worth remembering that, as her mother pointed out in episode 1, Kate Bishop has thus far not had to face major consequences for her mistakes.
