    Trailer live action Moana | "Official Trailer"

    I just don't understand the drive Disney has to make live action movies (well, I guess I do if it's just "we want more money"), Moana is one of their more recent movies and it was great, I really don't think that it benefits from a live action adaptation. Still, I do think that Diseny is gonna...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    If I was to run 2e again, I'd simply remove exceptional strength from being coupled with an 18 and allow warriors to roll it no matter their strength score. Half the time, exceptional strength only gives a +1 damage bonus anyway so I don't see this as a big deal and you can play around with it a...

    Your Top 5 Superhero Outfits

    Some hero outfits are really iconic, even people who casually know about the franchise would recognise them. Classic Superman, Spider-man, and Batman are definitely in there. I also like Classic Jean Grey Phoenix outfit someone posted, Carol Danver's Warbird costume, and Wasp's yellow and black...

    D&D General Weird "DnD Is Dead" Youtube Trend??

    These ragey click bait titles are the channels that I block. I want to say that it's a never ending battle, but I haven't seen any in a while, maybe I'm just not watching enough dnd content for them to pop up.

    Today I learned +

    I was watching the Dinosaurs (narrated by Morgan Freeman, I recommend it) and learnt about the Magayarosaurus, a tiny sauropod (compared to the ones we normally think of), apparently only around 2-3 metres tall when fully grown. One theory is that due to being stuck on an island with limited...

    D&D 3.x Favored Class

    I don't know if I ever used them or if they just didn't come up, though it was also a time of friends moving away after high school so we didn't get many games in. If I went back to 3e, I'd use Conan d20's rule of granting an additional feat at 1st, 5th, and 10th level in your favoured classes...

    I'd have thought it would have been a tag for those that want to ignore the AI conversations.

    AD&D 1E On Demi-Human Level Caps

    I find a good compromise for who can or cannot cast in armour is to reduce the heaviest armour worn a few steps when an arcane caster multiclassss. If you multiclass a fighter/wizard then they can cast at best in chainmail. A thief/wizard would be unable to cast in armour at all, and a...

    AD&D 1E On Demi-Human Level Caps

    I remember when I was thinking of using level limits that I standardised them at 9, 15, and unlimited. then (working of 2e) I adjusted the level limits so that any class that was originally 15+ became unlimited, 10-14 became a maximum of 15, and 9 or less became 9. So a 2e gnome would have...

    SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY - Official Trailer | Exclusively In Cinemas 31 July

    I think I'm a little over superhero movies, I'm not even excited for doomsday. I'll probably watch them eventually but they're becoming a "wait until streaming" watch rather than a cinema watch.

    AD&D 1E Redesigned and Rebalanced Thief for 1e AD&D

    As an aside, I have seen in an expert set the suggestion to let a thief succeed even in challenging situations if it makes the game more fun. I think the actual example was if the party would be put into an unwinnable fight. Doesn't help with balancing the class, but it has been a suggestion by...

    Nice, I've been trying to think of a reason to start up starfield again, this might get me back into it.

    D&D General Unique Class Mechanics you would love to see in a D&D "goes wild" Edition [+]

    DnD goes wild tends to make me think of a lich flashing the adventurers... As a shake up, rather than class specific, I'd like to see a shake up of the magic system affecting all classes that use it. Not sure to what exactly but maybe something like the old dragonlance saga system where magic...

    AI/LLMs DLSS 5 will be the worst thing to EVER happen to video games

    Haha, yeah, I don't know why anyone would thought this was needed in video games, turns the women into that generic AI girl, not something I'd really see myself using instead I'd just stick to the original graphics. There's some things I like about genAI such as quickly running up an image for...

    AD&D 1E Rules that are kinda cool but everyone forgot

    Maybe I was doing it right when I was younger and something else confused the issue.

    AD&D 1E Rules that are kinda cool but everyone forgot

    It's not that difficult, but it's assuming I'm correct with how to do it, maybe it was explained in a sage archived column. Basically it doesn't matter when each class levels, you roll 1d10+4 and divided that by 2 when the fighter side levels, then after gaining the xp for the wizard side you...
