Obviously, this is the correct answer, but my heart is split between my love for Adam West's sublime brilliance and Will Arnett's masterstroke Lego Batman. Here's another thing, for me: if the history of Batman movies has proven anything, it's that anyone can play Batman. The trick is making...

Another thing I'd love to change, in the interest of streamlining things: get rid of proficiency, and get rid of kits, tools, etc. Just make it all Skills, as in "are you skilled at Survival?", "are you skilled with a lyre". You eliminate some terminology and multiple categories of things. Boom.

Matching spell levels to character levels, i.e. you get 3rd level spells when you're 3rd level. They won't do this because of tradition. I can see it happening somewhere down the line, like for a someday maybe, imaginary 6th edition. And yes: making the ability score and the modifier into one...

As has been pointed out elsewhere (and maybe here, 97 comments in), one of the reasons players often don't bother with or care to track encumbrance is that there's no incentive to do so. The only possible outcome is a problem for your character, and thereby for the group they're traveling and...

Goal-in-ones

The most basket goals.

I avoided the phrasing "__ scored in the 90s" for similar reasons. ;)

The team that hits the most home runs.

That they've improved both the ranger and the monk (and with such high approval ratings) is music to my ears. Those are the two 2014 classes I regularly want to play but don't, due to their underwhelmingness.

Sounds like we will see a preview or playtest of this later this year, before the release of the DMG

Confirmed: the book is jam-packed with gorgeous me!

"...that cool [dwarf fighter] image...is from the fighter section of the new Players Handbook, and my goodness is that book jam-packed with gorgeous art..." To be honest, this is the most exciting thing about these new core books, for me.

The conjuration spells scored in the 70s-80s%

"...several of the game's core healing spells - cure wounds, healing word, and others - scored [80-89%]"

Druid passed their 70% approval "floor", and Barbarian passed 80%.

This show feels like a gift. If forced to complain, I think some characters got underserved, but I understand stuff got scrapped when they switched from a 6-episode plan to 5.

Riggs' forecast sounds like a parallel of the collapse of pop monoculture we've experience in the past generation or so. I think what he's describing is inevitable, at least to some extent, for some of the same reasons the pop monoculture collapsed.

Got my copy of the core book book just in time for Christmas, and it's a beaut! There's so much to love in this. The layout is set up so that each page or two-page spread is one topic or sub-topic. The art is very reminiscent of early D&D art, in the best possible way. The random tables are...

When I first started reading it, I thought maybe it wasn't for me. The author is telling their journey as a professional into discovering what trauma is and does. He started in the late '70s, dealing with Vietnam vets and their war trauma, and that's why I thought maybe this isn't about me...

Working through The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, by Bessel van der Kolk. This has been a real eye-opener. Decalog, the first of three Doctor Who anthologies from the '90s, all telling one big story. Haven't made it very far, but I'm enjoying it so far...
