  1. Am I to take this as an invitation? >_> Time zones being as they are, the times you've talked about are about 10am my time, but that means that the Monday and Tuesday your time doesn't work for me at all, as those are work days. Friday your time makes it Saturday morning mine, which is reasonable, but I often have things I need to get done on Saturdays so I wouldn't want to play in epic length sessions if I were to join in on something on Saturdays (also assuming Ruki is in on this too, since it sounds like he's DMing). I'd be down if this isn't too much of an imposition, but if time zones and timing is an issue then I'm also fine stepping away and letting you guys do your thing, since it seems like the rest of you are at least closer in terms of time zones 😛
  2. Oh, Arkhan's involved, that makes sense now. Does also stand to reason he'd be vulnerable to Vecna's manipulations being attuned to the hand, even though from memory he's meant to be Tiamat's champion. What level is everyone if they flattened Arkhan? Or is he reduced in level in Descent to Avernus and such? I believe he was reasonably high level in his guest appearance at the end of Critical Role C1.
  3. I feel like that deserves some elaboration. Also, have you considered tempting them with the Head of Vecna?
  4. Yeah there's a few. I haven't done it yet because actually intentionally finding them is apparently harder than just stumbling on them by mistake. I'll get around to it at some point though.
  5. Wordle 312 2/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Wasn't expecting to practically no-scope it, but here we are.
  6. Wordle 218 2/6 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Hell yeah.
  7. Wordle 210 2/6 🟨⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Feeling proud about this one. Most of my results are at 5, with a few at 4 and 6, so getting a 2 was cool.
  8. Welp. Guess RNG decided that's how that particular combat was going to go then! The point stands though that a cleric can absolutely be a tank (even in medium armour). All you need is (Shield of) Faith.
  9. Clerics are amazingly versatile, and I think it's entirely reasonable for one to be be built to wade into the fray and start beating face either magically or physically (or both). Unless Niner's playing a Life Domain cleric and has designated himself the "healer" (which isn't really a thing in D&D, but eh), but even then, Life Domain clerics get heavy armour proficiency, so you could absolutely build a healer with an absurd AC as well.
  10. I'll be shocked if a KOTOR3 happens. Not enough of the KOTOR series is Disney-canon enough for there to be a Disney-canon version, and in old-EU canon, everything important from KOTOR2 onwards has already been done between the Drew Karpyshyn novel Revan and in SWTOR. Honestly, if you want KOTOR3, the closest thing you're likely to get is the Jedi Knight story in SWTOR, and you can play the game a) completely F2P, and b) completely single player, ignoring all of the MMO trappings if you aren't interested in that. I would love to see Force Unleashed 3 though. 2 was way too short, and finished with a blindingly obvious sequel hook that never materialised.
  11. Critical Role is single-handedly the reason I started playing D&D, let alone also DMing a campaign. Such a good stream.
  12. You could do the same with things like Bless, and make it different brews. Ooh, you could make his Spiritual Weapon, like, a big barrel or something!
  13. Please tell me you're going to flavour Cure Wounds as him feeding people his special ale he's brewed.
  14. I mean, lava makes light. You could fill the place with rivers of lava.
  15. I see it as flexing different muscles, and get different benefits from both. I run one campaign and play in another, and while I do definitely enjoy building the world and having it react to my players in the one where I'm the DM, I also enjoy not having to worry about preparing dozens of possible NPCs that may have to react to what's going on, and just focusing on how one character will respond.
  16. I think a good comparison to this, which makes the concern a bit clearer, is to when Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out. There wasn't a big sprawling post-game, the National Dex wasn't a thing yet, and moving from the Game Boy to the GBA meant that it was impossible to transfer Pokemon from the older games, so you had a fairly clear separation there, and it was essentially a clean slate. That said, the data for the old Pokemon was still in Ruby and Sapphire, so when Leaf Green and Fire Red came out, there wasn't any incompatibility for trades and such. From what I understand, Sword and Shield have no data for any of the Pokemon not in the games programmed in, which means that either they'll never have any non-native Pokemon after future releases (like if they remade Gen IV, which if they continue the past trend is about where they're up to), or they're going to have to build it and patch it in later (which I don't even know how hard or possible it'd be, given that I'm not a programmer). Now, all of that said, death threats and a petition to the leader of a country are way over the top and melodramatic, and people really should get over themselves. If they don't like how the game's been made or presented, they should express it with their wallet and just not buy the games. I've personally held off on getting these at release, partially due to issues people have raised regarding difficulty, and to a minor extent the national dex issue, but the main reason I've held off is the loss of the GTS, which was a fantastic way to get things that you needed, like trade evolutions and such, and has been in the games since Diamond and Pearl. I'm going to see how much the complaints people have had hold water once the game's been out for a bit and has had time to settle in, before deciding if I'm going to get one of these, but we'll see. I may cave in a month's time and get one anyway, who knows >_>
  17. I still log on occasionally. I actually created a new character on Star Forge to join in with my brother's guild at some point, so if you need a fourth to make a guild I could probably help out. Don't know how often I'll be on at the same time to do any group content though >_>
  18. Though I haven't had the chance to play a Fighter yet, they look fun, and they have one of the best abilities in 5e in Action Surge, so there's that. Also all of the archetypes look good, particularly some of the shenanigans Battlemasters can get up to with their maneuvers.
  19. So, uh...I got myself a Japanese Carracosta through the GTS and thought I'd try that shiny breeding trick by breeding it with my female Dragonite by getting six eggs as a test. On the one hand, no shinies, but on the other, all six of them are female. Does anyone want a female Dratini? If not I'm probably just gonna Wonder Trade them, maybe someone's just starting their game and will get lucky with a level 1 Dratini they can use in their team >_>
  20. Fair point. I suppose you could probably just watch the first TDW stinger on Youtube to see Sif and Volstagg giving the Collector the Aether, and Volstagg's line about keeping two Infinity Stones so close together (which is the first time they're called as such in the MCU), and be done with it.
  21. Skipping Thor: The Dark World also skips the introduction to the Reality Stone. If you miss that one, anything involving The Collector or the Aether in Infinity War or Avengers 4 is going to be confusing. Plus TDW was where the first exposition regarding the Infinity Stones was laid out, so there's that too.
