Tales from the DM: Flower Power
EnglishMajorLeagues
Sometimes in a homebrew game, the DM gives you power unimaginable without thinking. Such was the case when I played as a bard in a totally homebrew campaign. None of the typical DnD races were represented, so my bard had a very hippie flavor going on, especially being a plant humanoid. As such, my DM gave me the power that she now wishes she hadn't!To add the flavor of being very one with ... ...more

Crit Happens: Nat 1 Storytime (6/11/20)
EnglishMajorLeagues
For having only a 5 percent chance of occurring, I feel like rolling a natural 1 happens way too often, and often during the most inopportune times. Not that it's ever really convenient. But wouldn't we all rather use a nat 1 to convince the barkeep to give us a drink for free, rather than on our death saving throws and battles with the BBEG?To the uninitiated, let me help translate what I ... ...more

Why I'm Binging 'The Lord of the Rings'
EnglishMajorLeagues
When I was completing my undergraduate degree, I took a whole course in the writings of Tolkien. Obviously, I'm a big fan of his work, and there is no work of Tolkien's better known than 'The Lord of the Rings.' Since I'm confined to the house by choice with my family, we've been watching one movie in the series every night. And actually, under the circumstances this is a great choice in this ... ...more

Book Recommendations: A Discovery of Witches
Kelli Dolan

So, I was pleasantly surprised to find how much I loved the novel A Discovery of ... ...more

Movie Review: Pixar's 'Onward'
EnglishMajorLeagues
It's pretty rare that I get to see a film on release day, but I was lucky enough to see 'Onward' immediately when it hit theaters. I'm always a little skeptical about Disney animation, because I'm not really in their target demo anymore, despite being a lifetime Disney fan and a former cast member. But this time, I'm pleased to say that 'Onward' is charming, funny, heartwarming, and a little ... ...more

Now, about two weeks after the reveal of the title, there's more to know about the book. It's not merely a lore book or explanation of new subclasses, but a starter kit for campaign creation in the world of Wildemount, the setting for the popular series Critical Role, ... ...more
