That stagnant wages and growing economic anxieties among the working class lead the public to pursue comfortable escapism from an increasingly terrifying real life, while back in the 60's moviegoers were comfortable enough in their daily lives that they wanted to seek high-minded, challenging...

Without getting too political, I'll just say that Bill's shallowness and vapidity is already well-known on the left. He's a well documented hack.

Yeah, 5e has really been struggling ever since they started pandering with their "trans acceptance in the core rules" and their "gay characters in their adventure books", and all that multiculturalism everywhere. Unlike World of Darkness, those guys smartly defied the oversensitive politically...

Pat Rothfuss notably disputes the concept of "writer's block", and I haven't seen any reason to suggest that he's depressed. It's more likely that he's just taking his time to make sure he gets the third book right, and doesn't want to try to force it...

I think I would lower her Strength and Constitution. Based on the information presented here, her DEX should be through the roof, but there's no clear indication that she was much of a STR-based bruiser. Unless at some point in her life she ran marathons or lifted weights or something. As for...

Looks like a playing card. I'm still sticking with my theory that the deck of many things is involved.

As long as we're speculating wildly, here's my attempt at a grand unified theory: In the past, Mike Mearls has remarked that he considers himself to be in the "happiness business", or something to that effect. So he thinks of his goal as trying to make everybody happy when possible. If they're...

An artifact that occasionally vanishes and then returns sounds a lot like the Deck of Many Things. "Deck of Many Things" also sounds a lot like "Stream of Many Eyes".

I'm think the 5e devs know exactly why 5e is so successful. They built a simple ruleset that most people can grasp, and they built up a strong connection with popular online personalities like Mike Krahulik, Jerry Holkins, Jared Knabenbauer and Holly Conrad. They've embraced shows like Critical...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I always heard that in New World of Darkness (at least), choosing nothing but ordinary human skills and abilities allowed you to outcompete characters that went for supernatural skills and abilities. So for example, in a mechanical sense, being really good at...

I'm actually okay with this one. Breaking naming conventions like that triggers some mild OCD. Not as bad as if they changed the layout, colors or font on the spine, but still.

Well I've got great news for you, because those books aren't like that at all. The characters in question pop up occasionally to provide brief, entertaining quips, and that's about all you see of them. They're very, very loose narrators at best, and there's no real self-congratulatory tone to...

Let me just say, I would kill for a Norse myth version of Hot Topic.
