I'm honestly more uncomfortable with the house elf stuff in this game (and Wizarding World in general) than I am the JK Rowling or Goblin=Jews business. House Elves are incredibly powerful sentient magic users that are kept and traded as slaves and there's really no way to redeem this aspect of...

I'm digging the 'we haven't talked in 20 years...' but. Too many times in things like this you have people that seem to maintain anchored to the people they knew over the course of the the series and seemingly next-to-no connections to anyone else in the intervening decades. Those of us past...

Yeah she was. Well technically 'Thief' is what he calls her in the intro.

The rest of them come in August it would seem. Presto does indeed come with a d4. Shiela, like the basic bitch she is, comes with a d6

It really is a shame that this hasn't been a commercial success. I would love to see many more characters / battle scenarios

Finished the main plotline and the primary House Buddy quests (dunno what else to call the 3 pseudo-companions). The main plot was your typical RPG 'messiah' thing but pretty much just existed as a reason to have lots of fighting and puzzles and whatnot. Sebastian's House Buddy quest was by...

Is it different for different classes? Some of them don't really have a 'riding a horse in the middle of buttfuck no where' theme.

That was a terrible cinematic. I've seen better work by high schoolers.

I did like that they officially moved into the 25th century with this episode. It really does feel like they are using this season of Picard to set up a 'Next Next Generation' style exploration of Starfleet in the early 25th century. I'm somewhat different in that I like the jump that...

The 'office culture' bullshit is a farce used to prop up the people who schmooze their way into success without doing any real work. The office provided them with a better theater to perform their nonsense pantomime in and they are worried that people have realized they serve no actual purpose...

I mean... Taron Egerton is amazing so this is absolutely a must watch.

The way the whole environment changes between seasons / parts of the school year is great. Not only the major seasons, but there are subtle changes during a given season. Fall starts out looking like generic autumn but then more leaves drop and you see the jack o lantern decorations come out...

So as we knew its Flashpoint with bonus nostalgia

The pacing of levels and quests seems to be all over the place. I feel like I'm perpetually unlocking features a long time after I should have already been using them. For example: by the time I unlocked talents I was already level 15 and had a whole mess of talent points to spend right away...

The umbrasyl fight was pretty badass. Good job balancing comedy with dramatic tension and the overall feel/pacing of D&D combat

Action Figures from the D&D Animated Series (celebrating its 40th anniversary and made to merch the fuck out of the upcoming movie). That pic is from Target. They were out of the Hank and Diana figures. I'm guessing they will do Shiela, Eric and Presto as part of a second wave at some point...

Nostalgia. Though they didn't make a Presto figure, so fuck em.

I'm on a PS5 playing on fidelity with everything on and gameplay is fine...

I think it might be hard to get into if you aren't familiar with the universe...

Reading responses here it seems clear there is a lot of variation in terms of what happens and who says what etc. My walk to Hogsmeede didn't provide me with the same info as mentioned above.

I actually like the switch from 'Atlantis' to 'Tlalocan'. It gives the MCU underwater kingdom a way to distinguish itself from the Aquaman one from DC while also providing an interesting anchor point for art design. Marvel has never made Atlantis look good so nothing is lost and it gets more...

Yes yes alpha etc... but I am not a fan of their overall design choice.

I tried this and really had no idea what I was doing... I'll give it a go again later maybe

The Authority is a ballsy thing to have as part of your opening slate. Standing up Apollo and Midnighter while you are simultaneously re-launching Superman and Batman seems weird. Lanterns are cosmic space opera... that's what they are there for. If you want True Detective and you don't want...

I tried it out and its a blatant Diablo clone. This is not a bad thing as its very smooth and decently well done art direction.

It pleases me that everyone is still going forward with their own creations. WOTC may think that by falling on their sword they have somehow mitigated the long term damage, but you can't put this djinn back into the bottle. It also means that VTT team they have cranking away at the OneD&D...

I am 97% English/Irish by genetics (thanks 23&me!) and I have absolutely no rhythm whatsoever... yet I actually had fun playing through the first part of this up to and including the first boss fight. Not my cup of tea by any means, but GamePass means I gave it a shot and its entertaining.

FYI the Deadpool DLC (first part of Season Pass) went live yesterday.

Have we gotten an official word as to whether they also jettisoned Justin Roiland? I saw that Adult Swim did and that he resigned from Squanch but haven't seen anything from Hulu/Disney Edit -- nevermind https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/justin-roiland-fired-solar-opposites-koala-man-1235501863/

I think this is worth getting on heavy discount. Would be a great Game Pass game but... Sony...

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/359835/dungeons-dragons-onslaught So lemme preface this by saying I pre-ordered this thing when it was first announced and promptly forgot about it until FedEx delivered it yesterday. I'm not wild about having supported WOTC, but it is what it is. I'll post...

It always mystifies me how some people manage to land in positions of authority like that. It seems rampant in almost every company in America. People who know nothing about what their actually doing that still manage to fall upwards due to playing the metagame.

Does anyone know this Chris Cao? His pedigree of being involved with DC universe Online isn't awful, but also not the best I suppose.

Wait....what?? I figure they had all been shipped out a long time ago. I did see someone post on Twitter just a couple days ago but I figured they were in some crazy out of the way place.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/attachments/39j2li89/OGL1.2_DraftForDiscussionPurpose.pdf The last page is their new draft VTT policy which specifies that video games like Solasta are considered completely forbidden under their new agreement.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1432-starting-the-ogl-playtest On Virtual Tabletops: There it is. That's where they want the D&DBeyond VTT to differentiate it from other VTTs Also means Solasta is 100% fuxored

Damage control squads report to all decks!!

https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1428-a-working-conversation-about-the-open-game-license This one is better and seems more honest. Interesting that responsibility is moving down, not up, the chain of command. Still doesn't address the full degree to which they have alienated their consumer base.

Interesting read. I've seen the '70% of Hasbro Value' statement before and I don't know if its true. I DO know that Hasbro has done a completely shit job of cross promoting / monetizing WOTC over the years. I mean they crossed Transformers with My Little Pony before they did D&D. It can be...
