Anyone else reminded of Mork calling Orson?

The ones that alway amuse me is the ubiquity of armoured Clerics in Anime And Slimes, I am aware that Nuppeppō exist it Japanese folklore but their existence in Anime is a fusion of folklore and DnD inspiration turned Otaku weirdness.

Horses like to run and so they can be trained to charge across a paddock with a verbal signal, but it would realistically take weeks especially with a horse the trainer doesnt know and generally not without a rider to spur the the horse to respond to the signal in the first place. It was a fun...

lest my mind remain clogged with an overflow of thoughts about the necessarium of dungeon conviniences I am compelled to take the plunge and relieve myself of the accumulated flotsam so that it may be cleanly flushed from the bowl of public contemplation. Anyway your orison drops lightly into...

I think they made it a Marvel Spotlight show because they knew it was a self contained story and there isnt going to be a season 2. Simon Williams will show up else where (Dooms Day?) but it wont be a sequel

A decade really! Seems I have some catching up to do

Yeah its strange, I typically wouldn't be interested in this kind of lowburn Hollywood satire, I watch TV either for the action adventure or for comedy, yet I enjoyed Wonder Man despite lacking both. All I can conclude is that Kingsley and Abdul-Mateen and Zlatko Buric really were great actors...

What happened to the Miss Piggy Talkshow they did a few years back? I think thats the last time I engaged with the Muppets, I wasnt impressed. I didnt even know that there had been anything else since. The Muppet Show however could be a nostalgia treat, loved it as a child, but got more cynical...

I think the Dalelands are much more interesting than Myth Dranor, especially in this era of Cozy RPGs. I think WotC should publish an entire Book of Cozy Adventures for the laidback rural idyllic. I'd focus the book on the Dales themselves, detailing village life, the Inn, a major festival and...

well I find avoiding narcissists to be a tantalisingly Sisyphean endeavour. Yet such Promethean ambitions haunt me, and I am condemned, with Pythian certainty, to Icarian overreach and fall...

So would Odysseus be a Rogue Mastermind or a Bard? He's more Tactician than Warrior I'd think most come down to being Fighter or Paladin. Maybe Ranger for Theseus? What of Andromeda - Bard? Cassandra a Lore Bard or Divination Wizard?

but none of those are reasons to have them in a game - Reason 1 is just a justification for a mechanic, but we know spells exist even if gods are otherwise ignored Reason 2 only happens if the DM decides to make that happen Reason 3 is worse as its just a minigame the DM plays on his own, until...

I enjoyed BECMI more than AD&D. 3e was a fun new direction, 4e a strange tangent that has managed to prove itself by comparison to 5e - 5e is in the weird place of being useful but uninspiring, is that an upgrade?

You do? what are they?
