Me, reading a version of “The Odyssey” with my students so decide to watch “EPIC: The Musical”: “Did Odysseus just use an anime attack against a god!?”

Would you recommend Theros for someone who wanted to run Olympian flavored D&D? #dnd #dnd5e #5e #Theros

Of course, the best way to make a Darkwing Duck legacy sequel series would have been to take the Batman Beyond cyberpunk premise, file off the serial numbers, and set it in Neo-St. Canard.

My daughter gave me their old 3D printer, so I guess I have a new obsession now. Yay?

Seriously, don’t watch the fucking show. Don’t review it or recap it. Don’t give it the fucking time of day. This isn’t like “Aw, okay, well, don’t do it next time!” This is like, “We are no longer friends.”

Anyone think that the reason that something like “The Dog Stars” barely manages to move the needle is because we’re all “apocalyped out”? What with *waves hands around* all this?

Ever piss you off when old movies aren’t available anywhere? Decided I wanted to watch the 1941 Red Skelton comedy “Whistling in the Dark” because I remembered liking it as a kid at it isn’t streaming anywhere (except a very dodgy .ru site). You can’t even buy the DVD anymore!

I'm curious, those of you who backed the "City of the Black Rose" setting from @rollandplaypress.bsky.social, did you pick the Daggerheart or 5e version?
Snippet of the front cover of "City of the Black Rose". 
It features a man in suit and bowtie wearing a old-fashioned gas mask w/ a shattered lense. Through the shattered lenses, we can see the man's terrified expression. The is covered in blood.
Behind the man, we see a background of shattered glass, with each shard representing a different aspect of the setting. There is an elegant looking woman with a high spiked ridge collar, city skyscrapers, and a snarling beastial maw.
