    D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+]

    Not Clever, but I am also not a fan of DoaM. I am ok with spells as they are a limited resource and work in an asymmetrical way to melee combat. I like the templates too, never really had an issue in 3E. It was the math, always the math. Something like B.A. in 3E would solve so much. I am...

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    Bingo. Everyone is more or less spinning wheels and nothing major will happen until the final episode where too much will need to happen. It’s the Amazon Prime template and it’s ruined nearly every show they get their hands on.

    They later dropped the Oracle (close to cleric) and the Witch (close to Bard).

    Well, in a certain context that is true, but its not the context used in 4E.

    I just started Steal which dropped on Prime. The pilot was really good.

    As some one that didn't like the roles becoming so distinctly built into the tactics of the game, this is a literal interpretation that is strange to me.

    Masters of the Universe | Official Trailer

    At this point Leto is pretty much the heel of Hollywood. Nearly every trailer has that moment and its hilarious. "Hmm, a new trailer... oh this looks good....Wait...wait whats that music?...No, it cant be.... Is it really true!?" At some point the music in the trailer stops and plays Leto's...

    Train Dreams recently and its a must see. Full of ambiance and reflection a movie that will make you feel which is oh so very rare these days. Its a crime that Edgerton didn't even get nominated for an Oscar.

    What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

    I didnt not like it, but I got some serious tonal whiplash from the sequel being an action comedy. I do love Jon Bernthal though.

    D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+]

    It might have been an overreaction to making Species abilities so tied to attributes. It made some class combos better or much worse. I think that could totally be offloaded from stats. Though, some of the things like proficiency was weird. Where every elf knows longbows kind of thing. How to do...

    I dont like the tactical team aspect of D&D, or I should say I dont like it to be required. If the game works with a herd of cats, but is optimal with a team of surgeons, it seems to have hit the sweet spot.

    Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out."

    I see it more as seeding a story. You are choosing a setting and characters and then making something of that. I dont mind a little prep work on the GMs part of the ingredients if it leads to an excellent story making experience. So, id re-frame it as making a co-operative story rather than...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I have a PMP, its a fancy distinction you can get as a "project management professional". Its nowhere nearly as distinguished as passing the BAR, but has a 2X higher fail rate.

    What kinds of games do you like, and why?

    Dont know. I just look on from my battletech games in awe as they are like a surgical team.
