I think they meant the Anglophone part of Quebec. There are still some distinct cultural differences between the primarily French-speaking majority and the primarily English speaking minority in that province. It's a whole thing that has significantly shaped Canadian history and politics since...

Keep an eye out for young Will Byers - the actor is the child of one of my closest work buddies (and an occasionaly D&Der).

I did have one player who was consistently a pain in the butt with character ideas that went WAY outside the campaign. Like for one he wanted his character to be someone from our world who was constantly hopping between planes of existence, Quantum Leap style, and had temporarily wound up in the...

I haven't noticed a ton of editing errors in 2024 - a few are inevitable and every publication has them. But 2024 doesn;t stand out to me.

You got every class right, but only one of the subclasses - Jester is indeed a trickery cleric. I also think Fjord's two-toned skin is wierd and distracting - I don't understand it. But yes, he is indeed a half-orc...who files his tusks down. It'll likely come up in the story.

Christmas Eve is just whatever is fun - usually some sort of potluck. Christmas Day dinner is essentially the same as Thanksgiving.

Then the answer is: yes. With a good script and filmmaker it could definitely be a good movie, because there are good Dracula movies and this is basically the same character. If focused on Strahd, that is.

My home campaign has a battlesmith as well as a paladin, monk, ranger, and barbarian, and the BS more than holds their own. I let them have firearms, which helps their DPR (repeating shot infusion FTW). But having not one, but two automatons (defender and homunculus) makes them incredibly...

I got the digital version and, sure enough, it opened right away for me as a master tier subscriber. So that was nice. My initial take is that Battlesmith remains far and away the best subclass and the one most on par with the 2024 update, but artillerist and alchemist are improved and solid B...

Cool, I didn't know there was a third film. The first is fantastic, I enjoyed the second, and I'm very much looking forward to spending a few more hours with Benoit Blanc. I fnd him strangely calming.

It would work better as a streaming series, IMO. I agree that the setting is the attraction, not discount Dracula. But the setting is also pretty derivative, so you could do basically the same thing without paying WotC.

I am a master tier subscriber. The deal isn't showing, but maybe if I buy it, it will happen anyway.

I mean, it's an editing mistake, not the end of the world. Raise your hand if you are confused about the intent: you can don your armour as an action, which obviously means you weren't already wearing it. If someone wants to argue RAW says otherwise, that's just a roll your eyes and move on...

How do folks have access to this already? When I go to DDB, it says that the digital releases in two weeks.

The point of comparison was texts that add prequels about major villains (Paradise Lost give us Satan's backstory, the SW prequels give us Darth Vader's). Is there a single person who was desperate for President Snow's backstory? Is he really a compelling villain? The answer. based on the book...

That's fair; the battlesmith definitely feels like the most fully realized subclass.

I don't really undertsand the "artificer should have been a full caster" comment. My spouse has been playing a battlesmith for several years now in two separate campaigns, and I find it to be a very effective character. Outstanding at party support while still offering strong ranged offence...

I agree that the wording on brutal strike is a bit confusing in that it is not clear whether you can make a reckless attack just for the extra damage die, while still gaining advantage from another source (e.g. faerie fire). If I was a DM, I would allow it, since you are still giving something...

This is my favourite sentence from the article: "In a new study, Andrew Jackson—a research associate from the School of Informatics—explores reasons beyond the scientific or technological as to why time travel appears to be impossible (at least, in this reality)." So...not science. Not really...

I don't think it was ever an actual thing - I've never in my life seen or heard of anyone putting ketchup on iced cream. I suspect it was meant as a kind of parody, because Canadians do put ketchup on some things that Americans don't (most famously ketchup-flavoured potato chips, which I think...
