    Trailer Frankenstein | Guillermo del Toro | Official Trailer

    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

    Funko Pop! in Trouble

    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...

    Funko Pop! in Trouble

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

    What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

    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.

    Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

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

    Which new RPG Book(s) would like to see in 2026?

    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.

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    Nuts ... add another campaign idea to the pile. I've always found that I prefer DnD that is a pretty big tent, genre-wise. It's why Eberron calls to me. It's why I want my players meeting in taverns that are more Mos Eisley Cantina than the Prancing Pony.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    Yes, assuming the innovations were ones I liked ... but .. Here's the big "it depends" ... systems like this do require broader buy-in. I'm playing in a 5e24 campaign, so I'm playing 5e24. I'm GMing Daggerheart ... after a one-shot that the players liked so much it's become a full campaign. If...

    Renegade to Reprint Lords of Waterdeep

    Fun game, it's long been on my wishlist, but hadn't pulled the trigger because others in my gaming group owns it. Might pick up the reprint though

    Daggerheart Releases Bloodhunter Class for Playtesting

    I was never a fan of the 5e Bloodhunter. The various maledictions and crimson rites and blood curses ... it was a lot of "words for blood" soup and just seemed like a frustrating class to play. I think the advantage of Daggerheart design is the various pieces are really cut down. A Class (aside...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    ... TBH, I just didn't want to dunk (more) on the Runepriest or Seeker, lol. That said, 4e Psionics ... were messy, though the Psion is probably the worst for it. Because a few powers scaled off stats and the power point cost, a lot of low level powers stayed relevant until upper tiers and...
