The Warhammer Book thread here has some excellent recommendations on what to read/ what to skip, but I’d throw in here The Beast Omnibus (after the Horus Heresy) and Know No Fear (early Horus Heresy). Honestly getting started past some basic setting info I’d read the first 4 HH books and then...

Just watched this - I agree it was awesome fun in most ways except could have been a little shorter. I was too old by a couple of years to have the toys or watch the cartoon but I was certainly familiar with it, but that didn’t take anything away. The campy style reminded me a bit of the old...

Oh yeah I watched the first couple of seasons of this a long time ago and it was enjoyable action and some female hotness as well. I don’t remember if I watched season 4 or not, but I’ll have to catch up and stay tuned for this.

If you don’t mind DMing but are looking for something short but using published material , we’ve had some success running mini-campaigns using Ghosts of Saltmarsh and Tales of the Yawning Portal and just “filling in the blanks” with some role playing about what the characters did to get the...

Bringing this back to life as the end times are seemingly on us. Over the last year or so I’ve made my way through a few of the books/ series previously recommended in this thread and for those interested in the setting I’d echo the praise for: The Beast Omnibus: This was just terrific all...

Well good news for you is the weather should be decent enough to spend time outside, and summer in the city can be pretty amazing. Assuming you’ll be in the downtown/ north of downtown area I’d plan on spending some time around the lakefront where you’ll find a ton of activity on the beaches...

Echo all the above. Very different and enjoyable movie. My wife got bored and went to bed just before the tipping point and asked me how it ended this morning. When I told her she was like “wtf”. Anyway - if you start it don’t tap out!

I’d second the counterspell recommendation. Cultists imply you’ll be facing some spells, and nothing pisses off a DM more than their NPC being counterspelled. Also, while it is an admittedly situational spell it uses your reaction which you probably otherwise aren’t using all that often...

Love to hear this - you are making your DM very happy. Being behind the screen is much more enjoyable when you’ve got players as willing to collaborate with ideas as you are. Now you’ve got to share with us - what is the Gnomish Starstone? I hope it’s not related to the Chocolate Starfish.

It’s almost certainly Jack of All Trades. Most agree that bonus also applies to dispel magic and counterspell.

It’s probably been a decade since I’ve read these books but I do remember them to be quite dense but full of some cool sci-fi concepts in between the excess detail and philosophical musings. It’s definitely not what your looking for if you want space battles and that kind of thing (not that...

Au bon climate's Santa Barbara Pinot noir blend runs about 20 bucks out here and is our daily drinker. I'd agree about avoiding the low cost French burgundys because they are pretty rough. At the higher end though it's definately an eye opening comparison of the differences between old world and...

Pretty sure there is an organized way to sell/ trade plots so you can just offer to buy it. Otherwise just have to wait it out or could grief/ PK into submission but you are correct that unless the guy is KOS for douchebaggery that is not the PRX way. There is no way to outright take it from...

Definitely just to grab the space for large farm if nothing else.
