    Heartbreaking in the best way. (Avatar Legends, end of Season 3 of a planned 4-season campaign ☺ 🖤)

    D&D General The thread where I review a ton of Ravenloft modules

    As a forever Ravenloft lover, I gotta say I'm loving this series, @der_kluge And I totally agree with your assessments of the modules I've ran that you've reviewed! I've ran "Night of the Walking Dead" at least 3 times, the last time under 5e a couple of years ago. I sadly bought and tried to...

    I can't believe the season is ending already! 😭 Seasons are so short these days 😢

    Ooph! The whole series so far—and this episode in particular—hit a little too close to home as a queer person. The threat of having anyone turn on you, (because they're afraid you represent the end of "normal"/people like them), is something all queer people have to deal with. The heart-breaking...

    Spoilers Bad Batch: Final Season *SPOILERS*

    A pretty sweet ending for sure. I cried a couple of times in the episode proper, but the epilogue scene just broke me. The animated SW proves once again that it may very well be the best thing to come out after the original trilogy.

    A wonderfully heart-wrenching episode. As a Rogue lover, this episode was everything I could have asked for. IMO, however, this should've been episode 6 and the aired episode 6 should've been 7 or even later. I needed this episode after 5. At least we got it, though ☺

    You say Sailor Moon transformation-like as if that is a bad thing when I consider it one of the highest compliment animation-wise. I was commenting to some friends the other day that, on a recent rewatch, OG Sailor Moon remains an incredible series, and that Usagi's transformation into Sailor...

    Just finished watching 4 & 5. Holy sh*t. They ripped my heart out! I love what they're doing with this series. The writing is top notch, IMO, and they're hitting all the emotional beats. I was afraid they would try to tone down the soap opera in this sequel but, if anything, they've leaned on it...

    MCDM Update: The Power Roll

    I don't think the OGL stuff has anything to do with doing honest and transparent design diaries that are, in essence, free RPG design lessons available to anybody 🤷‍♀️

    MCDM Update: The Power Roll

    I think this is a solid decision and one that, in the long run, will make the final game better, regardless of whether it survives until the final design or not. MCDM continues to be the only RPG company I can think of that is this transparent and honest when it comes to their design decisions...

    D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    That's a badass abjurer if I've ever seen one! 😍 🖤

    D&D (2024) Deborah Ann Woll and Matt Mercer consulted on the 2024 DMG.

    That's why I said "great" with an emphasis 😉

    D&D (2024) Deborah Ann Woll and Matt Mercer consulted on the 2024 DMG.

    Mercer is one of the best DMs I've ever seen and Debrah did awesome in the Relics actual play, an underrated series of short adventures. I'd say it's a GREAT improvement over RPG Pundit and Zack S 🤦‍♀️

    Oh, now I'm really hoping that is Ventress, as she's one of my favorite characters in all of SW. Fingers crossed!🤞

    Spoilers X-Men '97 spoilers

    Holy naughty word! Those two episodes were A BLAST. Everything is at the level of—or even better than?—the original. The writing was surprisingly poignant and nuanced, and they went immediately for the big drama. I'm so hooked! I need like two more full seasons of this NOW 😱 🖤

    Star Wars: The Acolyte starts June 4

    Really excited about this! For me, the High Republic is the future of Star Wars, far away from the Skywalkers and their BS—and without any of its baggage. As such, it's a period ripe for exploration and, most importantly, innovation, which SW sorely needs, IMO.

    Spoilers Bad Batch: Final Season *SPOILERS*

    For sure Lucas didn't give Christensen much to work with, but he's not a very good actor, IMHO. The other appearances of his I've watched throughout the years outside SW haven't changed my opinion. And the less I talk about that horrifyingly bad Obi-Wan show (I haven't watched Ahsoka because of...
