Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater.

"The beacons are lit, Gondor calls for aid." Understand, that while this is an amazing moment, it's also a desperate call for help. The AltNationalParkService have been and continue to be representing those directly most affected. They are doing the impossible. Support them in every way you can.

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

"Fix your heart or die." I hope that goes on his memorial, RIP Mr. Lynch.

In a collection of excellent performances, wrapped up in equally excellent direction, set design, and cinematography. Lily Rose Depp really stood out in Robert Egger's Nosferatu (2024).

The #TTRPG hobby community has lost one its greats today, and we're lesser for it. Jennell Jaquays, one of the original great creatives and dungeon design luminary has passed. www.enworld.org/threads/indu...

Refuse to participate over on X, but the question was raised of what your favorite sword from fiction was? My vote is tied between Ogier the Dane's sword Cortana, or this one:

The weird self-awareness that your incredibly privileged lunch is also basically the same meal of a 17th century French peasant (I tossed some Brie in the microwave with some almonds and dried cranberries so I could eat quickly between patients).

I can admit that I'm a curmudgeon in many ways, but does it just seem like 5e keeps reinventing the wheel in less & less creative ways that are weirdly prescriptive? (re: Bastion rules) To be clear, I tried 5e for a handful of years (had a campaign that went to ~9th level) & finally returned to 1.5e

My spouse and I stopped playing #Destiny after multiple tries in the Avalon Wyvern Pit on Legend. It just stopped being fun, and I think I've logged in only a handful of times since, and really only played once (to do the Season of the Witch intro). We switched to #Warframe and haven't looked back.

The only hope I have for "They Follow" is that it's not a blatant, immediate, money-grabbing sequel to a successful and surprisingly good, self-contained, minimalistic movie that needed no sequel. I hope it's amazing, but I'm dreading going to see it when it finally arrives.

You know, I went back to AD&D 1.75e a few years ago after giving 5e a solid try and eventually deciding it wasn't for me. I pretty much ignore everything from WOTC because, well, WOTC. But I do have to say the the new Planescape book gives me hope that I could finally get a nice Lady of Pain mini.
