I wish we could have read this at the same time. That opening sentence…hoo boy. That deserves to be reacted to with an audience.

You just blew my mind, bro.

Also the data pad is played by Stan Lee.

And dumb ol' 2005!

Technicalitynodoneboo-over?

I have bad news from the future.

Whaaaaat is that. What are you talking about. Where are those.

Wolf in White Van was the best book I've read in years, but I am a diehard Mountain Goats-listening Dungeon Master.

I think he only was only comparing them because they were both Ms. Marvels. It's a shame that the field of female superheroes is so small, because it makes the God-given classic comics nerd discussion "Who is better, X or Y" gain an unfortunate (and sometimes unintentional) dismissive subtext when discussing female…

No disagreement that books with beginnings, middles, and ends are the easiest thing to judge as Good or Bad on a whole (and you don't have to contend with gross backstories from decades ago and awkward retcons).

I knew I couldn't be the only one who Wicked + Divine just doesn't click for. I find the storytelling very disjointed, and felt like they use "obfuscating facts" in place of "building a mystery" regularly.

The best. The very best. John Allison is a planetary treasure.

Those DC and Marvel comics are legitimately great. Don't hate.

Take a drink every time All About That Bass almost sinks the mashup?

Just IMAGINING the opening whine of "I'm not a perfect peeerrrrsoooonnnn" is enough to give me traumatic flashbacks to the year it was somehow played on seemingly every pop, rock, and alternative radio station. How did that song get so popular. How.

But when will sweet, innocent N.E.X.T.W.A.V.E. get its day in the sun?

Dunno whether you're looking to snag them in a Used bookstore-type capacity, but they're $20 off sticker price on Amazon right now.

If you've got some people you think you can rope into it, I'd definitely recommend the Starter Set. It's super cheap and almost runs itself (if a lapsed player with a few years experience under their belt is in the DM seat)

Yeahhhh good point about the necromancer.

Consider checking out Dungeonscape when it comes out—it's the digital product for 5E, and my table has had almost nothing but good things to say about the iOS beta. You basically buy the book through Dungeonscape instead of in print, and you get a robust, intuitive character builder that means you pretty much never…
