Look, I just spent a week in bed with nothing but YouTube clips of Godzilla to distract me from the enormous gaping hole in my foot where my bones used to be. Please just allow me these small consolations.

On this episode of the Tavern Watch Podcast, the team gets a win -- a win in naming things, it turns out, as Wizards of the Coast (in addition to finally announcing some products for 2026) also has started referring to the 2024 revision of D&D as "D&D 5.5e."

In 1954, Ishiro Hondo unleashed a new kind of movie monster.
