    D&D 5E Advanced D&D or "what to minimally fix in 5E?"

    Are you talking about a third party product to enhance 5e, or 5e 2024? If the later, that ship has sailed and these are not the kinds of fundamental changes that will be happening. If the former, OK I am listening.

    Hundreds of Beavers (the movie)

    The movie Hundreds of Beavers is worth seeing, if you liked old Monty Python level of absurd movies, with a sprinkling of Looney Toons. It's black and white, there is no dialogue (for the most part), and well written. Smart, silly, funny. Apparently it's better with an audience, and it' plays...

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    Yes. Hussar said it was over $20 in Japan for 20 years. So i looked it up because that didn't sound right based on a pricing chart I had read. Sure enough, it was not right. So I looked up a popular theater chain in Tokyo, went to buy tickets, and yup, it was $12, or as low as $6.

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    Uh, what? Average price in 2023 was 1,424 Japanese yen. That's $9. Price at one chain was 1,900 yen. That's $12.

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    I absolutely agree. Covid cost that movie some of its budget as well (they had a shut down and re-start). But if they'd made that a $100M movie I bet it sells just as many tickets. Did we need Michelle Rodriguez and Hugh Grant, or could they have just done Chris Pine for name recognition...

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    Again, we just had solid evidence you can have great visuals for much lower cost. It just won the Oscar for visual effects. Hollywood has gotten incredibly lazy on VFX. They throw money at the issue for mediocre results. When you actually gather a good dedicated team in-house at VFX that are...

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    It's worse. In Los Angeles in certain test areas AMC has raised prices for opening weekend. Furiosa was $20.50 per ticket at an ordinary theater. Not IMAX, just their regular theater. That exact same theater was $12.50 per ticket 4 months ago (I checked - still have it in my app). That crossed...

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    Godzilla Minus One has good visuals and $15M total budget. Hollywood needs to stop taking the easy path of just throwing money at visuals. It's not necessary. There are thousands of superb actors who don't charge Clooney money. Hollywood needs to stop depending on actor name recognition as...

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    As an adult with a family and a job that takes a lot of hours, I can't see all that many shows in a year. There are well more than enough well written shows that are not animated. I enjoy good acting.

    D&D Movie/TV Paramount+ Will Not Proceed with Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action TV Show

    We're the same. But there is no reason to go animated. Cutting the budget and doing more with less should be the path forward. They're just not getting a lot for the last $100M on these blockbusters.

    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    Fair point. It's the haters I am referring to.

    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    People hate gnomes because those haters are bad people with damaged souls

    D&D 5E Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    Disagree. First, it can be ranged very effectively. Second, much more powerful all-around as opposed to combat-only. Third, multiclasses best. Echo Knight is the best overall fighter.

    D&D (2024) Alternate 2024 DMG Cover features Lolth!

    It's fine, but boring. It's a static image. She's doing very little, there is little in the background, there is not much adventure implied. Why are you guys so gah gah over this?

    Ah, had not seen this before my reply. OK, sorry you're leaving. Hope you return.

    D&D General The Problem With Paladin's Medieval Origins (+)

    You've been asked repeatedly where in the class they make that connection which would need altering. Point to the rule that's bothering you and we'd be happy to make suggestions on a house rule. You seem to be saying "the concept itself is objectionable" without being able to point to text which...

    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    I am so impressed on page 53 we're still talking about gnomes. I figured the topic had to be something obscure or dominated by a massive back and forth fight by now. I've never in all these years played a gnome for more than a couple of sessions, but I like them and would happily play them.

    D&D General What it means for a race to end up in the PHB, its has huge significance

    Again, very not compelling. Completely not addressing the issues people have with this change, trying to essentially say "the stuff you care about doesn't matter" to people who think it matters. Imagine they changed armor class to purely some luck point system. People didn't like that change...
