Onto book 7 of Dungeon Crawler Carl ... This Inevitable Ruin.

There's a skill to reading. That recipe for engineers scrambled my brain, and while I got it after a moment, I'm used to reading more conventional recipes, and that grid was not noticeably easier for me to understand. I used to navigate via those map books, but I also once nearly gave a friend a...

I don't see why not, we've had a fistful of Datas.

Which ... I call BS on Mal. But also primarily on Joss, because this was just ickily done. I'll admit it's been a minute, but what I remember of Mal's jibes at Inara is that that is splitting a hair and still calling it a gross word for a sex worker. Also, the episodes themselves never sold the...

Since this got bumped ... Andor really synched up nicely into Rogue One, and served as a solid ending to itself. Would I love to see more from the characters that survived? Yes. But I am ... satisfied with what I got.

I liked it well enough. Still didn't answer the issue with Reliant not figuring out the planets, but I liked fleshing out the other Augments and Naveen Andrews made a good Khan. Marla McGivers got some needed characterization to better understand "Space Seed". This didn't blow me away, but it...

4e DnD. I started with 3.5, played in only a few campaigns and tried DMing once (it didn't go well). With the new edition claiming to be easier to run and play, I tried DMing again with some new players. We played a lot of 4e, rotating DM duties, and participating in organized play campaigns...

I'm really trying to stay with IRL play currently ... while online play saved my sanity during the pandemic, I had so missed the tactile nature of RPGs and being at the table that now that I can play in person ... I don't really want to fight tech to play RPGs. That said ... I've always been on...

I have a Druid in my group and while the PC is strong, (Counterspell is really good y'all), they haven't felt ridiculously overpowered. One, Action economy remains a thing. Two, losing access to spells while in Beastform has made for some interesting tactical decisions. Three, the other PCs...

Saw it in theaters. It was pretty, but slacked a bit in the middle. Interesting film, but not one of Del Toro's best, for me. Solid performances

That's fair. And it's not like I didn't think of buying one as a gift, gag or otherwise. It's just I find them so generic. The "funko-ization" of a person or character to that oval head and blank stare, reliant on the fashion to sell the character ... if they weren't in a box with their name...

I've worked retail selling Funkos and I do not understand the appeal

The 3.5 Adventure Path Savage Tide. I've liked the mix of pirates and demons. I nearly ran it in 4e, than in 5e. Now I'm debating a Daggerheart version of it.

I assume Nasir is the archetypal one that everything after riffs on, but I don't know the source material, lol

I'd like to see a Daggerheart expansion, with the Dread Domain, and a lot of the current Void content made official. For 5e, dunno. Support for adventures over 15th level, more new content and less reprinting 2014 material.
