I was playing a solo DND adventure tonight, and it nearly killed me. I sacrificed myself to take out the BBEG and had to roll death saves.

I was feeling good after the first 2. But the next 2 brought me right down. The final roll to determine if I lived or died felt so good when I saw that nat 20.
Really?! Awesome! I'm looking forward to it.
I ducked into a little curiosity shop today and found a mummified tressym.

It was not for sale.

Yeah this would be among my firsts. Him and vladamir from the Anastasia movie, and also papa mouskawitz
Yep. I agree. Hopefully this will be that. But I'm not going to get my hopes up. Because I think it will very likely be a source book or adventure.
A million times this.
TTRPG thoughts:

Running a homebrew setting can really be such an intimate thing. You’re saying to your friends, here’s this world filled with my own imagination, I want to share it with you and if you’re feeling up to it, come join me and create it with me.
I got rid of all my Meta and Twitter stuff a long time ago.
I don't miss it at all.

And although I don't have nearly as many followers on here as the other platforms, the engagement is way better.
But you now have more gravitas. ;)

I can’t make a living writing any type of media but the people who can’t afford to pay me to write the media can still make billions a year selling the media they can’t afford to pay me to write.
Yeah. It had all the ingredients to be great. The score from Karl Preusser is fantastic. The character design was simple but good. Very similar to Vox Machina in look.
And the voice cast had some real talent in it too.
But sometimes things just don't work out...
That looks like very intentional capitalization of "The Table". So likely a new source book or adventure for 5e, and not a movie or TV show.

But I'm more than happy to be wrong.
Celebrity DM Joe Mangianello alongside fantasy authors Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis were featured in a post from D&D head Dan Ayoub. Perhaps a taste of future projects?
There were a lot of videos created to promote the 5e adventure though. Lots of hype about death dragons and dragonells.

@toddkenreck.bsky.social did them, and they were great.

There's also been new Dragonlance novels coming out for the past few years, and another one is due in a few months.

As for the 5e adventure... It's not a very good adaptation. It messes up a lot of the canon and how magic works. And the creators weren't involved, so many people passed on it.
I'm happy to see more people talking about this. But I can't wait for an official announcement.

Couple thoughts. @nerdimmersion.com there's already a Dragonlance movie. It's animated and has a pretty good voice cast. But it wasn't the best movie.

I'm infinitely more likely to repost art if there's alt-text on it.
Reminder that this website has NO ALGORITHM

a like is nice, but if you want others to see a post, you gotta repost it. Art especially.

Interesting developments at WoTC as Margaret Weis, Tracy and Laura Hickman, and Joe Manganiello are pictured with the new head of D&D Dan Ayoub. More news as we get it.

There were a LOT of general strike signs and MULTIPLE speakers called for a general strike.

Want to know the value of the #NoKings protests? They helped make this kind of demand more credible. Building capacity for mass action, step by step.
My weekend plans got totally upended in the best way possible.
My daughter and I are going to try the new D&D starter set and paint a red dragon.

Side note. That starter set box is heavy! I knew it had a lot in it, but the size/weight ratio is crazy.
I hope everything fits back in easily.
