I. Freaking. HATE. That. Song. I would have to murder the downstairs neighbour, were I in your situation. No other option. At Thanksgiving I like to think about the things I have to be thankful for. I'm adding "not having gnarlygninja's downstairs neighbour" to my list.

Because it's apropos as a deconstruction of Dracula tropes and also super entertaining:

You are not summarizing most Dracula movies very well. Typically, they are not primarily set in Transylvania. London is the most used setting, but Demeter (I just watched it; it's not very good) is set almost entirely onboard the ship. And plenty are set in...well, pretty much any location you...

I hope you didn't take my comment as minimizing the cultural distinctions - that was not my intent. If so, I apologize. I'm from BC but I lived in Ontario (Kingston) for a few years and didn't notice much difference between how Thanksgiving was observed there as here.

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.
