    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Pedantic nitpick: Dark Sun didn't have a dedicated booster line in the Spellfire CCG (unlike, say, the Forgotten Realms), and Borys was a part of the initial set of cards printed for the game (305/1st).

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Very well said. It's worth noting that this idea goes all the way back to the beginning of the hobby, being found on page 8 of the "Men & Magic" booklet of the original 1974 D&D boxed set.

    So recently this happened: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgyk2p55g8o Apparently Taco Bell's AI was trained on Tim Robinson sketches.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Of course not. D&D's economy has always been pre-broken right out of the box; it's why the prices of equipment are always treated as absolutes rather than fluctuating in response to market forces. There's no reason to expect slavery to be any more realistic in its economic implications.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'm getting sick and tired of "lazy" being a charge thrown at particular concepts that people don't care for in fiction. I can understand being burned out on a given idea, but "lazy" is a characteristic of something's presentation rather than being inherent to the idea in question. It's a...

    Unpopular Geek Media Opinions

    I read Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire (the first book of his Thrawn trilogy), and came away unimpressed. While I understand a lot of what Zahn was trying to do, a lot of what he had in there didn't feel like Star Wars to me, even if many of those elements would later be built upon and...
