    This season we are using the rule “floor dice count”; basically if you roll a die there must be a result–even if it falls on the floor or is cocked we will try to determine the result. I was the first victim of this rule with this classic table gapper!

    Keys From The Golden Vault live from Alakazam Comics in Irvine, CA. This week our tabaxi heroes flee the museum pursued by the Heroes of the D&D Movie. The jump from the roof with the Murkmire stone and hightail it to the office where they start questioning their decision! In the end they are able to complete the heist and level up

    It was the regular crew, minus Brian with a new player I meet in the shop while we were starting up.

    I used the pregens from D&D Beyond for the movie characters.

    My DM notebook worked great yesterday–the characters now have name, background, rouge gallery archetype, and catchphrase.

    Without the basic needs covered, would art still be that important? What is art devoid of its context? Maybe it’s just a ‘symbol’ — a shadow of real life — we choose to give value to, due to our sophisticated perception. Can we escape this trap of altered perception and witness an objective truth? What would be the circumstance to trigger such an escape? Could the answer be the redemptive nature of art?

    Jack, Kate, and I went and saw this at the Spectrum. We got our photos in the D&D display.

    Jack gave the film a two. Kate gave the film a two. I gave the film a four. ehere was good art. There was good acting. The end credit music was Radiohead.

    I feel the film was massively based on Rime, but there was a strong Blake (Fallen Angel [from a helicopter], Seven minutes to survive, missing self-portrait, etc.)

    There was also a ton of art that I had not seen–very hip contemporary pieces.
