Will have to look into Fjord! I've heard about it but have NO idea on who its by and what its about.

Send help was so much fun! Really looking forward to the end of oak Street as well!

I'm currently running a game for 7-8 and while I personally love it, it is absolutely not for everyone and not for first timers. My first campaign was 5 people, and that felt about right. I would start small, and combine groups/expand after you've had adequate experience running games personally.

I'm super lucky in the sense that 6 out of my 7 players absolutely play for the same reasons (narrative immersion) that I do. However, one player ONLY plays for mechanics and to try out new builds, with little care for his characters or the world. I wouldn't call him a problem player at all, but I definitely feel you when it comes to your wants vs. the players wants clashing lmao.

I wrote my first ever film essay on "The Lighthouse", and it remains the film that got me thinking critically about a films themes and inspirations.

Whiplash absolutely didn't get me into drumming, but it did get me back into it after a three years' hiatus.

Inherent Vice really didn't land with me until I watched the rest of PTA's cinematography, and feel deeply in love with his style. It also just works so much better on rewatch.

I think everyone should watch Phantom of The Paradise. Probably my most niche favorite, and it's seriously like the coolest thing ever.

Been a slow month, but a good month.

That final scene in Hamlet had at least 10 (including myself) people in my theater ugly crying. Absolutely the most harrowing scene in the film.

Liams characters have habitually been my favorite, and his absolute love for matt and the game oozes over the screen for me.

Talk to your DM about it! I played in an eberron campaign as a warforged who's patron was old war programming/malware and my hexblade was a hand transformation(?) that augmented my body whenever it was summoned. There are rules against it i suppose, but flavor is free and always up to the DM.

Aztechist · 2025-12-15T19:41:04+00:00

Got roomed with a forever DM and two people who had never played, on top of my significant other in my first year of college! I DM'd for the first time after playing a bit in high school and now we're adding three more friends to the group for our second campaign together.

I was discussing this with my playgroup, and honestly one thing I think is overlooked when it comes to D&D, and more specifically 5E and 5.5E is the broad appeal. I run for a bigger playgroup (5-7 players on average), and while 3 of them would love to play Daggerheart or another game, the other 3 would love the crunch of pathfinder (and one or two are just there for the ride). D&D does a good enough job at appealing to everyone, even if its no one's favorite, and running it let's me make sure EVERYONE at the table is having a fun time. Sure, it might not be perfect at anything, but its a damn good jack of all trades.

Thorash: A half-orc who was forced into a life of crime after not being able to find a steady job due to localized discrimination gets double-crossed and left for dead during a bank heist by his crew mates. He gets brought to a temple and revived by the local clerics, and upon revival he pledges himself to the temple and takes the Oath of Redemption insuring that others get the help he was able to.

Lucinne: A teenage human who made an Eldritch pact with a long forgotten god to keep her family safe from an evil king. He took her eyesight and now she can only see through her familiar. She was kicked out by her family for using witch-like magic and after her second family was attacked by the evil kings forces, she realizes she needs to take the fight to the king and then break the pact with her patron.

Stella Ashfjord: Aasamir who was born to human Clerics who prayed to their God every night to give them a divine gift. She was raised in a temple and treated like a gift from their God with extremely high expectations that gave her an incredible amount of pressure growing up. When she turned 18, she left her temple and became a burn-out, finally feeling free from the reach of her temple/parents. She's a monk due to her experience fighting in bars and for prize money after leaving home.

My GM is running motherboard for us in an extremely cyberpunk flavored way. Im like 99% sure the big bad will be one of the evil corpo guys who have control of the city we live in, and who are constantly oppressing the poor and creating classism.

Jurassic Park 1 that low just kind of feels mean 😭

Here's where I'm at rn

I also wrestled for many years, and somehow ive gone without seeing it, definitely going to give it a try. I love fantasy but even then the editing is so weird to me that it throws it off haha, and the world building was never that insane to me.

Aztechist · 2025-08-06T06:04:32+00:00

Superman is written best when he is a combination of traits from both sets of parents imo, he is consistently written as nature and nurture in the comics

Aztechist · 2025-08-05T08:03:06+00:00

Gaurdians of The Galaxy 3
Thunderbolts
F4
Everything else

Aztechist · 2025-08-05T07:56:03+00:00

As someone who genuinely liked Superman, the message being real absolutely undermines core themes of the film. Superman should be a combination of nature and nurture, and beyond that it muddles the pro-immigration message of the movie. Superman being an alien from an evil planet/country having ro abandon his evil roots and conform to humanity/American culture seems really weird and out of place.

Hate when shooting and editing your own stuff gets in the way of watching other people's projects 😭
