    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    I haven't seen any of those issues on either D&D Beyond or Steel Compendium, so clearly they are issues that can be avoided with competent web design and/or using modern browsers. The only table issues I've seen is when you have a table that just can't fit width-wise (like when you have a caster...

    Draw Steel: Crack the Sun backerkit signup live.

    There's a hint about it in the fiction presenting the human ancestry in the core book. A lecturer is talking about various existential threats in the past that have been vanquished by groups lead by humans, and one of them is "We watched Cthrion Uroniziir try to reduce the timescape into one...

    Draw Steel: Crack the Sun backerkit signup live.

    Here's a Youtube podcast with someone referencing a synopsis that was posted to the Patreon. Not sure if the timestamp gets kept, but the relevant part starts at about 8:30.

    New "Stargate" series announced

    You do you, but it's surprisingly good. It's not amazeballs the way Babylon 5 or the occasional Star Trek or Doctor Who episode is, but it's really solid. I'd probably stop after season 8 though. That resolves most things, and then they introduce a new threat in season 9 that's just like the...

    It ain't no joke.

    Draw Steel: Crack the Sun backerkit signup live.

    My understanding is that it's going to be mostly on the mundane side of things (well, as mundane as Draw Steel gets), and going to the sun is going to be a tiny bit of the whole.

    Why do we need thieves??

    More that I want something similar to 4e's roles. In 4e, you likely wanted a healer leader in your party. But that leader didn't have to be a cleric casting healing word or cure wounds. It could be a warlord shouting at you that you don't have time to bleed, or a bard playing soothing music, or...

    Why do we need thieves??

    I personally couldn't care less about niche protection – any core role should be able to be filled by any number of classes*. You shouldn't need to have a Cleric for healing – that role should be able to be performed by a number of other classes (of course depending on how many classes the...

    New "Stargate" series announced

    It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure the mindswap stones were established on SG-1 a couple of years before SG:U. Which reminds me of one of the things I liked about Stargate: while it was mostly episodic, it was pretty good at maintaining logical continuity. If a thing got solved, it stayed...

    New "Stargate" series announced

    To a large degree, I blame Cas Anvar (the actor playing Alex). He was credibly accused by ~40 people for sexual harassment and/or assault, things were investigated, and he was fired (that's why the character dies in such a weird way at the end of season 5). But not having him on the show messes...
