I still haven't watched yet (been doing a Stranger Things rewatch with my teens), but I see that Kiwi actor Rhys Darby plays Trelane! Getting on Star Trek is quite the coup for him, although I suppose he's just following in Karl Urban's footsteps really.

This is a bit of a bummer cos my artificer player is the only one still waiting for a revised version of his class ... but I'm glad that WotC is being proactive about this, and I'm sure December will come around before we know it! I mean, we're already over halfway through 2025 now!

Oops! Sorry.

First two episodes are up! I haven't watched them myself, but my sister has. She says there's a bit of tonal whiplash between the two, with the first being "we're all gonna die!" and the second being a "weird fantasy comedy" thing. She says the latter involves

Just realized I need to add my Vidorant's Vault play report! Will have to get on that as soon as I can ... Also, I am prepping to run Shard of the Accursed next, and I'm having some difficulty with the established timeline. Thousands of years ago: Xeluan the giant and a band of heroes do their...

Anyone else catch the Jurassic Park reference? (It’s around 1:25 for reference.)

OK maybe it just feels like it then. In my experience, the 2024 gladiator has always been a tough combatant when ever I’ve put the PCs up against one (or more).

Interestingly, WotC's even going for Small-sized humans. In the new Dragon Delves book, the level 9 adventure includes a pair of elderly human shepherds who are both Human and Small. They're described as being "two of the oldest human residents" of the adventure locale. Having two little old...

The 2014 gladiator hits pretty hard for a CR 5 with its three attacks as well. I like to have them Shield Bash an opponent prone so they get advantage on their next two Spesr attacks. Very gladiatorial.

In the introduction to Dragon Delves, under "Creating a Campaign": Option 3: Hoard Magic Items If you have Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons, the hoard of magic items described in that book can provide an incentive for characters to seek out dragons of increasing power and different kinds. Add the...

I'm not worried on account of that one line only. It's that plus the new artwork plus a few other things. It's all adding up to me worrying that they might be changing the setting in ways I won't like.

Yeah, that's a fair point. I guess I'm just worried that they're going to shift Eberron more towards actual steampunk and away from magitech. Hopefully I am wrong.

One week to go!

Hmm. That could explain why guns are now in the PHB too. Color me unimpressed - I prefer to keep my science fiction and my fantasy separate. One of the things that I like about Eberron is its whole "what would a post-medieval, post-war society powered by magic, not technology, look like?" schtick.

I still think it would suggest that in a more general way, rather than specifically calling out the weight-related speed reductions.
