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?

I recalled a couple of days ago a Superheroes game we did in which the characters were all inspired by Fairytale characters eg CINDR Ella with her magical ball gown instead wore a "Chroma-Inductive Neuro-Dynamic Reactive suit" that generates hardlight structures adapted to look like clothes to...

we have a couple of cups and saucers that are a century old, and tin opener from the 1940's

I've just remembered that Kingsley is now in his 80's, he's doing really well, considering his 'maturity' and here's a picture - I can see why no-one would recognise Trevor Slattery from this

ironic in the similarities

Yeah it became clear a while ago that gods are irrelevant in DnD where dragons, primordials, Arch fey and even mortal spellcasters are on par with extra planar dieties. What is important to gameplay is religious factions, sects, temple rituals and tenets of belief. The actual Diety is mostly...
