My Japanese isn't that great, it's very much "functional" rather than proficient, and given that the basic description covers most of what's in the video, there isn't much left untranslated besides the characters, so I'll go ahead give a quick overview of the five of them (in order of...

Even stranger, the third character bio (for the barbarian named Waniguma) is a half-orc, which I thought wasn't a part of 5E 2024.

I own copies of both, but they're still part of my "yet to read" pile.

I just finished reading The Black Vampyre: A Legend of St. Domingo, an 1819 work by Uriah Derick D'Arcy, and even before I can get into a summary of the story or my thoughts on it, there are several notes which need to be made. For one thing, "Uriah Derick D'Arcy" is a nom de plume; the real...

At some point, it's entirely possible for the products/services of a private enterprise—or even a small group of private enterprises—to become so ubiquitous in the functions/transactions of everyday life that they're essentially acting as a de facto public utility. At that point, the government...

Even with the fall of Sigil, their VTT initiative, I suspect that WotC hasn't given up the proverbial ghost on trying to make digital offerings the future of D&D, so this is really no surprise. I just thought they'd try to be a little more circumspect than flat-out calling these DLC, though.

Looking at this again, it's a very inspired form of a base-64 counting system (i.e., the largest value a single glyph can represent is 63, at which point you'd need a second glyph, or some kind of other visual indicator, to denote a number above that). I can't help but be reminded of Maya numerals.

Though I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job (after killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts).

To quote something I heard/read somewhere sometime: "The public wants critics to tell them what's good. Critics want to tell the public what 'good' means."

This sounds like a skit from Son of the Beach. "Founded in the mid-2020s, today Dungeon Master University is ranked #1 in unaccredited colleges!"

I just finished reading Norse Myths / Classical Myths, part of the "Classic Library" series of books. I'll note right off the bat that I'm not at all sure I've gotten that title right, largely because of the slash mark in there. That's because this book is actually two different books that have...

Belatedly cross-posting that I recently read Fox Fires, an original short story by TSR alumnus Steve Miller. I'll note, as an addendum to what I wrote over in that thread, that Miller has subsequently gone back and edited the text to fix the find-and-replace error that turned all instances of...
