    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    wyll? is that because you don't want him in your party or because you didn't know?

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    i kind of think of it as a homebrew campaign. there's totally a place for that, as long as the core rules are still intact. this also gives them the freedom to change creature stats and stuff. once a year my DM does a weekend blitz where like 20 of us get together and play as many 3 hours...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    well... all the origin characters are variations of "selfish asshole" except for the black guy, who is trying to get out from under a (white) devil who is using him so the devil can get more powerful.

    The Mandalorian

    that was the first time it was delayed, this latest event was like a month ago. but honestly, i don't care about this conversation anymore

    The Mandalorian

    he responded to what people were already saying. he didn't just come out and say it. first production was halted because he reportedly tested positive for covid. then a few weeks later, there were some reports saying the covid thing was a coverup for him not being in shape, then a few weeks...

    The D&D thread

    yeah, i'm with you. in that specific instance with the wizard, it was less "here's money to buy some items from this store" and more "you can have x amount of money worth of magic items that you have previously found in your adventuring career before joining this campaign. i think that's pretty...

    The D&D thread

    i don't quite remember exactly how he did it, but it was definitely legitimate, and definitely irritating. all 4 of us (3 players and the DM) calculated it separately and came up with the same number. i can't remember how he did it, other than a couple certain items, robe of the archmagi, staff...

    The D&D thread

    depending on if the wizard knows what he's doing, they can get some pretty high AC. my last campaign was curse of strahd from 1-8 (or so, can't remember) then we went up to 20 in the dm's own world based on the realms of terror. i played a cleric, and the the others were a paladin and a...

    The Boys

    at the very least, this. homelander absolutely cares about ryan but only so far as it meets his own needs. he wants to be a dad specifically because he's obsessed with adoration and kids love their parents... well, until they don't. i wouldn't be surprised if homelander never thinks about ryan...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    i started a monk, since i've never leveled one... decided to do legion just to get the artefact weapon and mount... did the exile's reach starter zone and straight to broken isles. some panda i've never heard of runs up and tells me all the greatest monks are gathering and they want me to join...

    Event Horizon (1997)

    such as? this sounds like there's some super juicy illuminati-but-with-the-warp hidden story... i'm really hoping it's not something simple like "the director's cut was probably just a garbled mess of a story"

    She-Hulk

    wait, really? seems super bizarre that a month ago a bunch of places reported her being cast, even mark ruffalo congratulated her... now all of a sudden she comes out and says "nope, never happened" if that was always the case, i would have thought marvel would step in and deny it. they've...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    that makes a lot more sense. there's got to be an SJW version of TDS and i think most of us have it. i just assumed that it was some trans-positive plot device.

    The Boys

    homelander tossed ryan off a single story house, wasn't it? and the kid landed feet first. and didn't he pass out or something? i'm not rewatching it because i don't care much. ryan is at the PERFECT age for whatever powers he has to not really be developed. maeve said in season 1 that that's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    no, i'm speaking for you now. you're going to play it, you're going to mildly enjoy your time, you're going to sub for longer than you meant to because you keep forgetting to cancel and then you're going to tell everyone you hate it and that we should all vote with our wallet. This is the way.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    all the movies are sort of loosely related. i think the writer/director said that it was similar to the old conan stories in that there's no real timeline, there's no real overarching story, it's just events that a guy named mad max is experiencing.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    the level of ambivalence in this thread is staggering. no one seems to be happy, no one seems like they want to play, but everyone keeps subbing. personally i sub when a new expac comes out, and then sub for a few months sporadically throughout the expac cycle. no real complaints other than the...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    I'm totally fine with picking between male and female, even if it doesn't make much sense historically. It was fine in Odyssey, and I actually enjoyed Kassandra more than alexios if only for the voice actor. I don't, however, understand switching back and forth by default. There's sort of an...

    Event Horizon (1997)

    i didn't particularly like pandorum. it was okay, i guess? the ending sort of normalized everything and i wanted it to go full batshit. ben foster, on the other hand, absolutely kills it. he's one of those guys that seems underrated, except i've never heard anyone actually underrate him. but...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    "frighten" REALLY needs to be separated into two different debuffs in 5e. frighten from dragonfear is what specifically makes you run away until you can't see the source. regular frighten (from almost every other source) gives the player disadvantage on everything as long as they see the source...

    Torchlight III

    The real question is what the most recent reviews are. This got some pretty terrible reviews back when it was a f2p game, so I'd be interested hearing what people are saying about THIS iteration. Problem is, it seems to have changed too much, too many times during EA so I'm not expecting much...

    The D&D thread

    I definitely think that base 5e definitely has an issue with item progression. A skilled DM can add meaningful magic items but going by the book it feels super lame as a player to roll super well on a treasure check and be rewarded with a regular healing potion. It's like, yes, I know this is a...

    The D&D thread

    my regular groups play online, since we're adults and half of us live in different states now. it's really nice because even if we're on opposite sides of the country we still get to hang out with friends and go adventuring like kids. but man... there really is something special about minis...

    The D&D thread

    As a player, early levels it's nice to have some money to buy something from a store that might have some varying options just in case I've decided to try something a little different. But as I get higher level, having the DM craft a unique item for me is really nice. It makes you feel like...

    they've said they are very interested in mod support and campaign editors, but their current focus is finishing the game itself. probably won't see campaign editor till after EA

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    that's great. when we were in avernus for a few sessions, we ran into a trades demon. he basically looked like one of those super shady street salesman that wear trenchcoats and when they open their coat it's full of stolen watches... anyway, the DM let us buy custom items that were up to +2...

    bards are awesome in the right hands. they cover so much ground... they can be the rogue, the cleric and the mage all in one class. obviously not as strong as one of those on their own, but they do great work. my current group is 4 players, champion fighter, hexblade warlock, a homebrew cleric...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    my DM has a contract that he makes all new players read over. it sounds much more strict than it really is, but it goes over what is to be expected from both the players and the DM. the rules we have aren't about the kinds of games we play (more tactical vs character driven, silly vs serious...

    100% this. the game is unfinished. it's still very good, but it's absolutely a work in progress. if you want to wait for a finished product, then wait

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    for the most part, i agree with you. i think for a "campaign" you should start at lvl 1. one shots are a different beast. my dm regularly does "holiday" one shots, we are currently about to start our Halloween "season." we have about 13 players that are split up into 4 or 5 one shot groups that...

    Cheated out of my youth

    i think it's a little more nuanced that just "they are pedophiles." i'm not trying to lessen the impact of what they are doing, it's clearly wrong, it's clearly screwed up, it's clearly gross. pedophilia, i think, assumes that the attraction is physical, and i don't think these teachers are...

    level cap being 4 isn't new information. they have been about as upfront with what they are doing with EA as humanly possible. for what it's worth, i think they are using EA for exactly what it's supposed to be. people's misconception about EA, is probably due to other companies misusing it...

    it's been said a ton, but there is a HUGE difference between being progressive (not politically progressive) and being woke. star trek was progressive. star trek challenged stereotypes in creative and uplifting ways. in star trek you can have the hatfields and mccoys find common ground and make...
