    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    So what I need is crunch but given the lack of it in Spelljammer and Planescape, I am very warry.

    The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

    So the timeline is wonky and a sequel is only so beholden to keeping the timing accurate. The second film was released only a couple years after the first but is set some 7ish years later. And yes, I would expect that bringing Rachel Weis is a fine excuse to ignore the 3rd film.

    The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

    I mean, I am down, but I don't expect anything until shooting is concluded at this point. Most likely, stories like this get put out there to generate buzz and create pressure to get a film produced. Frasier has some juice right now and would love to see a return of the 1st and 2nd film's...

    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    So my current campaign is probably my most "Dungeons Plus Dragons" campaigns I have run in some time. It takes place in a rediscovered underground necropolis and one of the main NPCs and patron to the party is an ancient Deep Dragon.

    Matt Colville's Community

    Part of the issue is that people don't actually know how to engage in criticism typically. They just have opinions. It's not the same.

    Have yet to watch this vid, but yeah. It is also what you let yourself stew in. Besides trying my best to not bother with unneeded negative critique, I am trying to consume less media that engages in such.

    The shout out to Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue almost makes me need to buy this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    I don't operate under the premise that the classes are balanced in all things. My concern is things to do on your turn, in this regard anyway.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    So I have grown to be fine with it because for some classes, there just aren't that many things that are bonus actions and for others, they have a lot of high value choices. So a wizard who's already cast a spell can use a bonus action for some quick healing instead of having nothing to do...

    Do you use "voice acting" when you play?

    Sir, my wife is a nurse. Why would I endanger my own life in such a way?

    Do you use "voice acting" when you play?

    I had an evil grandma/gangster/Deep one voice that my wife proptly banned me from ever using again after the game.

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    Also, thinking further, Gloom is very similar. You could just play cards, but its much more fun when you are weaving a story around them.

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    So back in the TCG gold rush of the late 90s, there was a Call of Cthulhu card game called "Mythos." What was interesting was that your deck was in a sense an adventure with characters trying to complete goals. So when we played it, we played narratively, where when you played a card, you wove...

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    My issue (Among many) is that the program attempted to cover it's tracks. I honestly suspect this is a feature, not a bug, ie, programmers are instructing the LLM to double down. The program can't lie, but the programmers can through the program.

    D&D General What alignment are you?

    I try my best to be Neutral Good. Doing right by people, upholding justice while defending liberty and opposing the wicked. Sometimes you have to use clear rules. Sometimes you have to make it up as you go. But either way, you have to be kind.

    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    The binding. Mine disintegrated into just a bunch of loose pages in like a year.

    D&D General What Does New Coke Tell Us About Designing for D&D

    My real question is, what influence did coke have on the design of D&D? It was the 70s after all.

    D&D General Who else was resistant to Eberron for awhile before falling for it?

    It's funny, but I'm kinda the reverse of this in that the appeal of Eberron really stuck me early on, but I don't think I have ever run anything in the setting, just have taken parts for my own. Granted, this is common enough for my magpie GMing style, but still. I like that it is not a half...
