    Dungeons & Dragons

    I keep my d100 and d120 (and a d60, a d48, two different kinds of d24) at work as part of a demo when I teach about entropy. I also have an old film canister full of a hundred or so tiny d6s. IIRC, DiceLabs made my d120, but if you hit Amazon you should be able to find d120s for around $20...

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    Is he voiced by Roddy McDowall? ---Dave

    Identify an old robot toy, definitely not a Transformer so I put it here

    Yeah, I often treated them as a cheap way to see how the transformation worked, even if it didn't work WELL and I ended up tossing it in the trash later. I almost always got my money's worth out of the KOs carried by Big Lots and (the sadly deceased) Tuesday Morning...but that pipeline dried up...

    TemTem early thoughts

    I got back into it after a few months off, managed to get through two more zones and partway into the second-to-last one, but now I'm done for good. The NeoEdo dojo is total BS, it's a beam-dodging puzzle maze with teleports between rooms...which can drop you onto a beam because it's an MMO and...

    Identify an old robot toy, definitely not a Transformer so I put it here

    That one at top looks specifically to be the Xabungle knockoff available at Big Lots in the 90s, they also had the support robot Irongear (robot to "land battleship"). ---Dave

    Final Fantasy

    Well, I just finished the Weapon arc, after laying it down when Endwalker dropped. I rode the GP-03 Gundam up to fight Eva Unit 04 to save Au Ra Rei Ayanami from the machinations of DeSaad in what's ostensibly a FFVII homage arc. (I will say, if you gotta do a "fight as someone else" duty, the...

    Final Fantasy

    Without giving spoilery details, in the post-Endwalker stuff (especially the tribe quests) the PC does get to bring some hope to the hopeless. But yeah, some of the EW content, especially Ultima Thule side quests, is SO INCREDIBLY GRIM. And then there's Thrillingway. (shudder) ---Dave

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Now, we need to get some canonical closure with Susan Foreman while the actress is still alive. :) (Her canon, much less her deuterocanon in books and radio dramas, is a horrifying mess.) ---Dave

    Final Fantasy

    Mind you, as a solo duty with significant amounts of large AoE, Rhitatyn's fight is VERY hard for a caster (and lengthily tedious for any melee job). I've been playing a gag character who's only a Pug/Monk, and the reliance on combos along with utter lack of ranged attacks is going to make that...

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    No, if you check TFWiki there's significant differences beyond color. The shield doesn't turn into a sidecar at all, it just stores on the back seat. ---Dave

    Final Fantasy

    I think Sadu's more interested in Cirina, based on a bit of dialogue later on. I think they may also be trying in general to limit how many group duties there are for whatever reason, possibly part of the move to make the MSQ as solo-able as possible. The Rhitahtyn fight used to be a...

    Final Fantasy

    Yeah, "play as someone else in a solo duty" is something they really fell in love with, keeps them from having to balance encounters for varying jobs and gear qualities. And even if you play that person's job, it works differently anyway so you can't really play it your way. ---Dave

    Pictomancer trailer: FemHroth trailer (and yeah, they're all basically Muscle Mommy): Pictomancer Slides: New location trailer: Also, 6.55 launching Jan 16. ---Dave, unlikely to have high enough IL to do the later patches until the level cap goes up.

    Customs Legacy Strongarm touchup

    Mainly just added the dropped glow colors back, added a few more glow bits, and some minor details. Decided that extending the fender stripe to the back was too much hassle, and my Minerva Shelley custom demonstrated the problems with painting the tail lights. ---Dave

    Final Fantasy

    A little disappointing that femHroth are significantly different from the men (especially since Encyclopedia Eorzea implied it can be hard to tell them apart). Looks like a new caster class being shown off by Krile. ---Dave

    Customs Non-TF: Freedom Dragon now with MOAR FREEDOM

    I think they were trying to get the red and blue with minimal paint apps. They didn't even try to make it look like a bald eagle in color, just pearl white with a few bits. ---Dave

    Customs Non-TF: Freedom Dragon now with MOAR FREEDOM

    The Freedom Dragon is a thing that exists, and can be purchased from Safari Ltd. But it's got a pretty boring paint scheme, so I got one and...improved?...it. ---Dave

    ♫♪ Deck The Halls With Lots of Pony ♫♪

    Huh, new Mauroz, why didn't I see that on my dA watch? (goes to Mauroz's page) Oh right...all the very NSFW stuff sprinkled in there, and I'd actually been checking dA at work, so I unfollowed him in 2022. Looks like I only missed a chapter or two of his serial, tho. ---Dave

    Sadly, it's another "wander around and talk to NPCs, and nothing else" event like Starlight was. Looks like crunch for the new DLC means cutting way back on seasonal events. ---Dave
