    OOTS 1341: Also Fully Biodegradable

    I don’t know the details, because he hasn’t been specific (last I heard), but there is some medical issues that make it difficult for him to work. Granted, it was years ago he talked about this, and I’m just assuming it’s still the case.

    Buffy Reboot Cancelled

    I’m the complete opposite (other than the love for the original): if we have to go back to the well, I’d much rather have a continuing story rather than a reboot. It’s been done, I don’t want to see it all over again with new actors. Tell me the story of a new Slayer. If Buffy is there in a...

    OOTS 1341: Also Fully Biodegradable

    I sort of agree. I think it’s being exacerbated by the slow release of strips. I understand the challenges the creator has, but the slow drip makes fights like this feel three times as long.

    Antimatter transported by CERN

    On this board, we could have an entire thread on plot ideas surrounding that very question. :)

    D&D General Art of Clyde Caldwell Kickstarter

    I can’t overstate how much of an influence his art (along with Elmore, Easley, and Parkinson) had on my life. I spent hours absorbing every single piece I came across, whether in a book, a Dragon magazine, or a calendar. So, this would be top of my wish list, if the shipping from the US wasn’t...

    Spoilers The Pitt Season 2 Discussion

    Oh, I agree. I just don't think it was any sort of calculated plan to save her from his fate. I think he was lashing out indiscriminately. And sure, she might have gotten it even worse due to some self-conscious self-hatred, but I absolutely do not belief that was an attempt to help her.

    Spoilers The Pitt Season 2 Discussion

    Robbie is absolutely unhinged. They’ve clearly demonstrated that in all the ways @Umbran has laid out. And yeah, it’s why he’s attacking Mohan. But there’s no way his flying off the handle at Mohan is in anyway trying to save her. Contrast his actions with her and the nice, friendly chat he...

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

    Yeah, I always assumed that was the MCU's way of having the Great Responsibility speech without actually having to use the actual phrasing (which, to be fair, is pretty much a cliche at this point).

    Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

    Your choice, but you are missing out. If Boba Fett and Kenobi were the karmic price we had to pay for Andor, I’d happily pay it again. Not only was Andor the best Star Wars I’ve seen in decades, it was one of the best shows I’ve seen…period. And so eerily relevant, I’m amazed they got away...

    Fair enough. I’m not necessarily good at parsing trailers, it seems :)

    Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

    In isolation, this looked interesting! On the other hand, I’m having a hard time imaging how this is going to work, since we’re talking about (at least one) Green Lantern. I mean, on one side it seems we have a corrupt small town sheriff. And on the other, someone who routinely deals with...

    Pumpkin Spice Joins the Million Dollar Crowdfunder Club

    But...but...her knees! And she's just a sock away from baring ankle! 😀

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    Just when I thought I was out... I'm not sure what you want me to say here. Intended or not (and to be honest, I don't believe a comment during the Playtest necessarily applies to the final rules, but for the sake of argument, lets say it does), it's a done deal. All that we can do now is to...

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    Well, I certainly feel chastened. I’m obviously mixing up rules, either from other versions or other games. As I have a clear memory of a Rule Zero style sidebar in either the PHB or DMG. Clearly I am wrong. And I apologize for any confusion or consternation I may have caused.

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    That's fine. I appreciate the quote, as I hadn't seen it. It still doesnt change the fact that you are allowed to ignore it if it is not right for your game! That's also an explicit rule. That's not being adversarial, if it is making for a worse game for your group (which it sounds like it...

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    And..that's where you lose me. Because that's awfully convoluted to get on average 1 extra point of damage a round. And sure, mechanically it works, and some players will kill for 1 extra point of damage. But I can't help but ask the rogue why exactly their character is putting away their...

    They obviously would! But none of that requires any weapon juggling.

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    I can see that. And draw cuts are cool :). I guess it’s just that draw cuts are cool at the start of the fight, but resheathing three weapons just so you can do three draw cuts every six seconds is what kills my disbelief. I guess that’s what I think was intended by the draw rules…allowing...

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    Were they clear that they expect you to be able to juggle multiple weapons every round to maximize masteries? Or were they just clear that they didn’t want players to stress about having a weapon available when they attack? Two different things. And I’m not being rhetorical, I’m generally...

    D&D 5E (2024) This Feels Like 4E

    Movies do have crazy fight choreography, and I wouldn’t be adverse to having incredible feats show up occasionally. But it’s the constant, robotic routine of weapon juggling that destroys it. It’s not a cinematic, climatic moment of the hero slashing with his great sword, dropping it...
