I play Blizzard’s MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, every now and then.

Similar to most others, the community can be toxic as fuck, but the “vs AI” mode is fun enough to keep me coming back.

That freedom is exactly what I like about ttrpgs too. How do you do it solo?

I always say it’s not ripping off, it’s an homage! I love pulling inspiration out of other media.

Absolutely, the whole movie felt like that which was a big part of it’s charm. Watching the first scene I could imagine the players asking the arrakoan chancellor’s name, which the DM hadn’t prepped, so he just made up Jarnathan on the spot…

The fat dragon, Themberchaud, is actually a canon obese dragon. He’s in the Out of the Abyss module and some others.
