One of the ways Tasha's Cauldron of Everything changes up character creation in Dungeons and Dragons is by providing more options -- ways to create that origin you really want for your character, with custom ability score modifiers, background details, and even skills and subclasses.

I think the Legion pre-expansion event was my favorite World of Warcraft pre-expansion event.

Just for a sense of the scale of Ubisoft's latest Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, I am just now probably at the 1/3rd mark.

Look, I’m on record as absolutely loving Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and it’s still absolutely one of my favorite games of the past ten years. But time marches onward, and I’m now a Viking dual wielding a Dane Axe and a Doppelhander, so let’s all get on board with the new hotness, shall we? I think we shall. While everyone in Azeroth is dealing with being trolled by zombies 24/7 I’ll be romancing everyone in East Anglia.

This is me saying that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and lady Eivor have won my heart, by being utterly unafraid to mix shocking violence, completely ludicrous side quests, deliberately upending a lot of tropes, and otherwise doing a great job of playing around with a kind of moral ambiguity I’ve not seen in a long time. This is one of the best RPG’s I’ve ever played.

Anyway, y’all have fun getting turned into monsters by other players. I’m petting a kitty. Let’s Queue this.

I just can't even. World of Warcraft has broken me.

One of the best parts of the brand new Tasha's Cauldron of Everything that's just come out for the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons are the subclasses it offers.

I ask questions here sometimes because the answers have an illuminating presence on my own life.

If you're having a tough time keeping every new system coming to the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Shadowlands, it may help to think of Conduits as similar to Relics from Legion -- just as Relics modified the Artifact, Conduits modify your Soulbinds and let you customize them to a degree.

So in my gaming life, I’m choosing between Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, where I run around snowy Norway, and World of Warcraft, where I run around frigid Icecrown. In real life, it’s -15c outside, which is 7 degrees F. So basically everything is cold whether it’s in real life of in my gaming and that’s why I’m transmog farming in Firelands even though I’ve got literally nothing left to collect in there.

Anything to feel warm is what I’m saying.

It’s the Queue. Couldn’t the undead invade somewhere nice for once?
