I'm a big geek. TTRPGs, Comics, Video Games, Board Games, Minis, Toys, Anime, Sci Fi, Fantasy or whatever random thought might work its way into my noggin. #dnd #TTRPG player and GM.
That really kinda sucks. I would have loved to see an entire trilogy by him

The sequel trilogy was among other things, hampered by having to close out a story that multiple generations grew up with. That's a hard task on a good day

But to see Rian helm an original trilogy would have been awesome

To be honest, I think I get alerted by a post from Bob on Bluesky that he has a new video out more then I see them pop up on my Youtube feed

Obviously where you're off is that you forgot to multiply by the "Are they winning or losing" variable in there. And that number is also modified by adding in the sum of "How much money did they spend to Get Gud"

Now their task becomes the goal of finding out a new source to get that info/McGuffin that they know they missed out on

That they have to deal with the consequences of their actions gives them more agency than just quietly inserting your own plan B into it as they stumble along

Sometimes I'll go the info is available via some other means and not bring that up but just insert plan B down the line

But what I find more fun is to turn the fact that they missed something into the next plot hook. Make it obvious to the players that they screwed up and missed key info.

For some folks there are better entry points to #ttrpg games than #dnd or #pathfinder or the like. Some folks just want big narrative driven roleplaying and they thrive with minimal accoutrements or rails.

But some people don't ⬇️

Loved this show. Have the DVD box set of it still

I was great up until the third season. Then the episodes just started sinking (haha get it?). Although the show did suffer from Wesley syndrome with the majority of episodes being

Eeeenteresting. Adding this to the reading list

C1: so it is written "For he shall mold the earth into swords to smite his enemies and armor to turn the teeth and claws of the darkness when it too returns"
C2: Makes sense. So we get a Bulette to attack his shop and if he survives he's the chosen one
C1: yeah that tracks

so plentiful and vague that they can be applied to almost anyone. So they go around "testing' potential saviors to see if they're real. Usually resulting in the Testee's death

Cultist1: I think that guy might be the Chosen One
Cultist2: What, you mean the blacksmith?

Various cults based around some entity or person that's trying to gain more power. Have one that the cultists are all linked by the masks they wear to the head of the cult who's trying to ascend to godhood

Then the cult that's waiting on the prophesized Saviour to appear. But the prophecies are

That looks fine. Starts out as Hide then gets magically bits after being enchanted

Gotta say I do not miss having conversations with players like this that act like Magic has to be completely logical. They always want everything to adhere to the spells listed in PHB otherwise "It doesnt make sense"

Yeah, I did not expect the first episode to go there... but it did. And it sets up some interesting things to come

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.
January 14, 2026 at 4:35 PM
to see if its actually true. So far of the dozens of things I've listed off 1 is real but we the players don't know which one😱

I'm really hoping its the about Baskin Robbin's 32nd flavor or the one where Gnomes hate even numbers. That's why 1 sock disappears, or just one screw goes missing

saw things during that time and whatever was on the other side killed the rest of his platoon. I have a list of various conspiracy theories from like the past 100+years and added supernatural twists to them that he spouts off

The GM decided he's going to roll a d20 everytime I say one of them
January 14, 2026 at 4:23 PM
For my current character, playing Hunter Set post WWI.

His main goal is to prove that he's not crazy. During the war he and his platoon wandered into a fairy ring and went missing. Months later he was found as the only survivor

Everyone assumed he was just shell shocked/PTSD, but he knows he

Its being reported that ICE has taken people in St Cloud. That's not even considered the burbs of Minneapolis

They've moved well beyond the cities

This is awesome and it makes me miss the days of Twisted Mego Theater
January 14, 2026 at 3:09 AM
But overall, I liked it. Action was good, the 'team' hasn't been fully introduced yet

Interested to see where it goes
January 14, 2026 at 2:42 AM
Watched the first episode of #RoninWarriors / #SamuraiTroopers

Its a continuation of the old show, not a reboot which is kinda cool. There's a lot more killing in it, although that's me comparing it to the US release of old show

Did not expect what happened to happen at the end of the episode
January 14, 2026 at 2:42 AM
That's one of the ones that I've been eyeing

But I've got like 7-ish? or so MG Gundams, the Macross YF-19 and 21, a Gao Gai Gar kit, Kamen Rider Wizard and Furai Optimus Prime I still need to put together

So I need to stop buying model kits until I finish assembling at least some of thatπŸ˜…
January 14, 2026 at 2:18 AM
I really need to get a RX-78-2. Of all the gundams I have I don't have that one... But I'm not letting myself get one yet until I at least put a dent in all the kits I already have πŸ˜…
January 14, 2026 at 1:48 AM
Yeah, its nice see them call him out for exactly why he was dropped instead of something asinine like "Controversial statements"
