I didn't play the previous patch (despite wanting to take the druid for a spin) but went for it with Sorcerer. Still in the oldest chunk of the content but there are definite improvements both to the system and to the narrative. The rolls are much more interactive what with giving you access...

Without much of a spoiler, Bond has been retired for 5 years at the start of this movie.

They have said its solidly based on Kirby's original run which was a thin-reskin of what he was trying to do with New Gods over at DC.

At the end of the credits it says : "James Bond Will Return" They could have hedged their bets and said that "007" will return, but they did not. This seems to point to a potential full-on reboot for the next Bond film, which would be appropriate as the current Casino-Royale series is so...

The killer being that the whole Empire stuff is new. I feel that the whole series is a reimagining of the original story.

Darkest Dungeon gives me anxiety... I fell its an excellent stress simulator.

1) are those chairs at the same level as the base of your table? I could see that being a knee-wrecking state of affairs 2) is that a snake under the table?

https://www.cbr.com/marvel-penguin-random-house-comics-shipment-issues/ Its almost as if lacking fundamental knowledge of the product & market expectations is a business mistake...

We will get the Gamora/Stark episode next season. The animation house that had that episode on their docket was too overwhelmed by COVID and so it got pushed to season 2.

Watched it with a couple of Catholics here in Massachusetts (one Irish American from Southie, one Italian American from Revere) and they had the opposite reaction. Mike Flannagan was born and raised in Salem so perhaps his (and their) experience was substantially different from yours?

Yeah I am digging Cleon's deal but everything set on Terminus was effectively filler.

I actually viewed it as very pro-Christian inasmuch as it's a love-letter to Flanagan's memories of growing up as an altar boy as well as holding a mirror up to faith. The only character that's anti-Christian is, ironically enough, the character that likes to think of herself as a Jesus...

The third act is now in beta on the Bleeding Edge build and will be released later this month for normal access. They continue to make some pretty wide ranging changes to the game, notably now with the Exploration Nodes. It has actually been a fascinating look into the game design process...

Yeah it's an issue. You just have to wrestle with it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. We watched the first episode last night after dinner and ended up powering through the whole series in a good old fashioned Netflix Binge. Very much an introspective series with lots of monologues (that will be mined for auditions for years). Had a major family death...

When I saw they were doing Avernus as a scripted campaign I was all excited that they were finally embracing higher level stuff...then I saw it started at level 1. This was after Dragon Heist and the whole 'citt destroying' plotline that is meant to be thwarted by a bunch of level 4 nit wits...

This all shows why WOTC was smart to leave 3.5 behind. Such synergies are fundamentally broken as they should ostensibly be forbidden by any rational DM as incompatible with the story but in many cases are not.

Happy they brought the Barren back. Doug Jones is awesome. Kristen Schaal has been in every or nearly every episode this season. I don't mind a bit.

Don't go blaming their complete failure of designing good content or a robust system for 9.+ on 'pronoun people'. That's the same kinda bullshit thinking that got us here in the first place: "Oh if we just get rid of <thing neckbeards don't like> we will be good to go!'

Well they kept to their word. Its BARELY Dec 2021, but its there.

Having a General that can heal is huge. So long as a stack has not been wiped out you can pump cheap heals into it and bring it back up. I essentially have one army with a caster general and two stacks of archers that is my go-to assault force that never suffers any casualties. It's...

Oh sweet merciful... This is not the place for it

There are quite a few builds which the rules happily support that are abjectly terrible for this game. You need to keep in mind that your main fight is against demons/outsiders and plan accordingly. It's also super annoying to get amazing weapons late in the game which no one in the group can...

Dec 17 2021 I Witcher a Merry Christmas and a Happy Jaskier

Got to Act 5 and decided to pause as people say Act 5 is a bit buggy. Maybe I'll start a new run in the meantime as I'm unhappy about a number of my choices coming out of Act IV. I feel like none of the Mythic paths I have unlocked is well suited to my main character (Alchemist Bombardier) and...

Non spoiler way of answering: the voicemails

Watched the first episode. Not too shabby. There were dramatizations to make elements of the story more cinematic, but the overall theme is still very much there and quite epic in scope. Plus Jared Harris could read the damn phonebook and be amazing.

Well this is unexpected. Clearly the BEEB is seeking to hit the reset-button and help the cash-cow regain its footing. I say 'unexpected' but I'm actually at a loss as to what other 'showrunner' could tackle something like this. Most of the really talented folk in the UK are now aligned to...

I have one caster (Nenio because she's hilarious and I can't stand Ember) one healer (Daeran because Oracle healing with the spontaneous rings for offensive options is baller) and then my main is technically a caster, but really just casts buffs and throws bombs. I think when I replay Ill do...

I wish Quick Channel was a thing. Daeran has so many damn things he can do and not enough time to do them

I've turned Nenio into a Metamagic Missile bot. She spends most of her spell slots on various flavor of Magic Missile along with using the +force dagger. I'm most disappointed by Prismatic Spray as it seems to not ever do anything owing to Spell Resistance, Elemental Resistance, Saving Throws...

Hmmm I don't recall that being the issue in Kingmaker.

Overwatch went from a cross-promoted IP that had brand recognition from non-gamers (on account of their product tie-ins and the high quality animated shorts), lots of e-sports promotion etx. to a veritable ghost town in less than a year. Before OW2 was announced it was common to see Overwatch...

The degree to which my people get one-shot is insane. My main tank has an AC of 46 and will still get annihilated in one round of combat owing to the demons having like 6+ melee attacks and never missing. My main combat strategy now is to just combat rez the tank over and over since the...

These are all very fun interpretations and riffs on the concepts of Star Wars. The Village Bride feels like the most 'real' short out of the first 4 inasmuch as it feels like a story that could genuinely exist within the III to IV period. Certainly the production values for all of them are...

I backed this two years ago and went back recently to see the progress. They have done a great job adapting it faithfully and I look forward to being able to play it with people.

Well the current shipping catastrophe has hit a number of Kickstarter projects right where it counts. There is just too much stuff leaving China and headed to the U.S. and essentially nothing making the return trip. People are seeing 4x the previous price for shipping containers if they can...

Kena: Bridge of Spirits came out today and I've seen not a hint of a marketing campaign for it... Kena: Bridge of Spirits promises magic, but can’t deliver much of it Polygon kinda rags on it, but others seem more kind.
