well... i mean at that point you could be fine with any thrall.

i like it. you level quickly, so it gives a chance to play some more unconventional class combinations that you wouldn't really be able to otherwise. and sometimes you just want to go kill some stuff without having to worry about social encounters, you know? it's basically a d&d 1e module.

that wasn't in reference to baldur's gate specifically.

i'd probably try to take a look at the dm as much as you can. a good dm can pull a bad group together. my current dm has been a close friend for the better part of 20 years so it wasn't a huge risk for me but one of the players specifically and i had a couple of issues early on. basically it...

fantasy grounds has no social presence. i really like it but it falls flat on it's face in that regard vs roll20. mechanically i think fantasy grounds is WAAAY better and they're doing some really cool things with the unity engine update that is like 3 years behind... it's really more about...

well, i don't think you're necessarily the odd man out. human are almost always the most played pc's, and generally the most common npc's (unless you're doing a campaign in some foreign place like the underdark or astral sea or something). and i understand why, humans are easily the most...

we use fantasy grounds. my second group is running tomb of annihilation, but my main group is almost exclusively homebrewed. even when we did curse of strahd it was like, 60% altered. strahd was the the good guy. really interesting take on it.

ha yeah. i hadn't played pen and paper in FOREVER and was just doing rando solo dungeons with a friend. then an old friend decided to tell everyone that he's a super closet d&d nerd and needs some players so he can get back into dm'ing. he's like, let's do curse of strahd. YEAH THAT SOUNDS LIKE...

spellplague resulted in chult and dragonborn, so it wasn't all bad.

i don't care about social media... what is this?

i was thinking about cdpr, but they don't have any history in crpg type games... i mean i imagine they'd do the work to make the system functional, but larian has done PLENTY of crpg games, i know they know how to make the system work, you know?

yeah, i was talking to a friend about it. i'm not sure if i'd be as excited as i am if another studio was doing it. i can't really think of any studio that i'd feel comfortable in pulling this off

so, a year or so ago, wizards starting talking about illithids. they were just giving some background information on them, where they came from, what they want, stuff like that. they also introduced a little bit of spelljammer content into the dungeon of the mad mage module a little bit later...

are you pete holmes???

use one word to describe the amazing johnathan. NOT A SINGLE PERSON SAID AMAZING. buncha philistines. but yeah, i agree. i grew up watching his stuff and always loved him. not even remotely surprised by how much drugs he was doing, though...

i guess i'm seeing the same kinds of things, but i'm not seeing them as part of the product itself. if that makes sense. like, on one hand you have a lot of people with personal opinions that are very pro-lgbtq. some of those people work at WotC. some of those people are writers for WotC. so the...

yeah, i 100% agree. i think part of the issue is that people are blaming their gender or whatever on their history of not getting into a group because it's easy to do. like, deborah ann woll always says that she couldn't find a group because she's a girl, so while she was filming true blood...

i've never played magic, and i'm completely uninterested in it. do you think more of that platform is focused on the SJW agenda? i'm honestly curious because i don't really see it. i mean, like i said i know there's a lot of... non-standard (or whatever on earth you want to call them) people...

i posted about it before, but the game is extremely well done and it all aims at some very poignant meta ideas. that being said, in order to truly appreciate that you have to play through to get the full ending. if you don't, the ideas that you have been subtly (and some not so subtly) dealing...

no d&d system can literally translate over to a video game, though pathfinder kingmaker does an amazing job of it. 5e is much more simplified, but all the complicated stuff happens behind the scenes anyways so i don't think it's all that important. i want to say that divinity 2 had a mode that...

i have't watched it, but that's basically orange is the new black. i haven't watched that in a few seasons but the main character was the LEAST likable character on the show.

God. what a douche.

Sounds terrible i think that'd work as an animated film set up as a bunch of shorts, like enter the matrix or love death and robots. i think it could actually be pretty interesting to show batman from the eyes of the villians, the eyes of street thugs, the eyes of alfred, the eyes of gordon...

i can't remember where it came from, but someone, somewhere pointed out that bruce wayne is actually batman's alter ego, not the other way around. bruce wayne exists specifically to fuel batman's ability to keep being batman. i think a lot of it came from kevin conroy in the animated series. He...

i'm about an hour or so into it. it's pretty enjoyable so far. the dialogue is a little... "young adult" if that makes any sense, but the gameplay seems great so far. a lot of the abilities you get seem to be limited uses, but don't necessarily warrant it, such as having 1 use of 1 extra damage...

i like seth, he seems the most charismatic of the 3

i mean i like talk is jericho. but it's basically when late night has a guest you don't care about it. "eh, maybe i'll watch it later?" but you're not going to, are you? no. you're not.

maybe i'm alone in this, but after having watched that trailer, i'm still just as confused about what this game actually is. i think kojima is just getting more pretentious and artsy about his work and it feels more and more disconnected from real life with every game he makes.

well, that's cool and all, but does he address the "wisdom" that he's irrevocably lost fans? because there he is telling people he'll be better to watch or whatever and i just don't care. if people still want to watch him and still enjoy it that's great and i'm happy for him. but, again...

no because i don't care about dean ambrose anymore

alright... here's my 2 cent, armchair wisdom... i get workplace anxiety... but workplace anxiety from being forced to cut bad promos? maybe i'm victim blaming but that seems like ambrose/moxley/whatever we call him now was ASKING for an employer to abuse him. WWE isn't even a normal job. none...

Make Faerun Great Again

no, honestly i think it makes it worse. there's a scene where she disrobes in the middle of a bloodbath and it's like, the movie is trying to cater to the male audience. except it's doesn't make any sense and there isn't any nudity so it's just like... why is she doing that? on top of that, she...

the actual INTERESTING thing about the weird time travel stuff with gwen... there's a deleted scene with an australian spider-man. his entire point of being is to give the audience a sense of urgency as living outside of your own universe destabilizes you. he showed up early as well and then...

i tried to watch it but the streams were having all kinds of problems, as well as building having power outages i guess? anyway i'll rewatch them at some point i'm sure... that being said perkins is such an evil DM, i love it. he has such a great way of beating all hope out of players...

my problem with mercer's gunslinger is that it's basically pathfinder rules mashed into 5e. things like misfires, while realistic, will completely neuter a character. if you have a string of bad roles with a bow, well. that sucks, better luck next turn. if you have a string of bad roles with a...

i didn't follow her at all so i have NO idea what actually happened. i know there was a pretty unhappy parting between her and WWE, on both sides. i don't think they would have taken her back no matter what. she tried to sue WWE for all that concussion nonsense and vince is bitter and holds...
