    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    Except that in Wanda's case she was at least somewhat aware of what she was doing from the start or close to it, while Billy didn't know about it until it was all over. Those conflicts happened basically offscreen, so we don't know exactly what went down. She could have opened up with regular...

    "If the spell consumes its Material components, they are consumed only when you complete the scroll."

    It's fitting that the clocks went back last weekend, because that second-to-last episode was definitely Green Witch mean time.

    Trying to Describe "Narrative-Style Gameplay" to a Current Player in Real-World Terms

    It's worth noting that Star Wars characters do tend to have their own signature gear - Han Solo has his iconic blaster (and starship), Chewie has his bowcaster, Luke has his lightsaber and gets a new one when he loses it, Rey has her repurposed stick-thingy. So even if they're not scrounging...

    D&D (2024) Thief Rogue / True Strike

    Still seems like people are overcomplicating this. The criteria for Fast Hands are: 1. Is magic item. 2. Using it takes a magic action. There's nothing complicated about it, and the linguistic technicalities being used to rule out certain items are doing nobody any favours. I honestly think...

    D&D (2024) DM Tracking Sheets

    Anything you like. For people who don't use regular alignment in their game it's a space to allow for more expansive notes on motivations, and for those who do it's space to add some nuance. Having extra space in which to add notes and details through the course of a campaign doesn't seem like...

    EN World crashing Chrome?

    No browser crashes here, but often very slow on Chrome over the past few weeks. One thing in the last couple of days is that posting a message seems to take a long time, and often multiple tries.

    Nobody sharing a party with that cute li'l familiar could stay sad for long.

    There aren't any really strong ties so far, but both shows cover roughly the same time period, and Mon Mothma does eventually show up in Rebels.

    D&D General Making a Pizza in a Fantasy world.

    We do have a reasonable selection of dinosaurs. I wonder whether they taste like chicken.

    D&D General Making a Pizza in a Fantasy world.

    I'd like to imagine the high-end restaurants in Baldur's Gate serving pizza with rare or hard-to-obtain ingredients. Mammoth mozarella from Icewind Dale, Deep Rothe pepperoni from the underdark, elemental anchovies from the quasi-elemental plane of salt.

    D&D (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    Yeah, I think the only reason the class feature is called Epic Boon is to remind players that they are now high enough level to pick from those as well as other feats. It's not meant to indicate that this feature is required in order to take Epic Boon feats - their only prerequisite is the level...

    I AM KING OF THE WORLD! Ranking James Cameron's Films

    I think the author basically had to dismiss WarGames because its existence takes away from their central theme that Cameron was the one being all prescient about AIs bringing about the doom of mankind. To take WarGames seriously would be to undermine and maybe even invalidate the author's point...

    I AM KING OF THE WORLD! Ranking James Cameron's Films

    I can't take any article seriously that dismisses WarGames as "dismal".

    D&D (2024) Char Creation Homebrew Proposals for my DM. Yes/No?

    Yeah, personally, if I'm the guy coming back to DMing after a decade or more, the last thing I want is the former DM turning up and telling me "okay, this is how I'd like you to do things." Even in the most well-meaning way.
