The only difference between them was a technicality: Parker remained as a spectator, occupying a seat on the Duke bench as the Devils attempted to erase a one-possession deficit inside the final 20 seconds. The scouts left the building to beat postgame traffic and missed the end.

RELATED: Dungeons & Dragons: Best & Worst Things About Playing A Bard Of course, players looking to make a Bard in D&D 5e should keep in mind that a Bard’s best party contribution in combat, regardless of their build, is as a supporting character. In dialogue, the natural charm of the Bard means they’re probably the leader or the face of the group. In combat, they’re best suited to buffing up allies and hobbling enemies with spells, so that another member of the group can go in for the kill....

RELATED: The Best Ways To Play Dungeons & Dragons Online Newcomers to the Fighter Class shouldn’t treat them as typical mercenaries with swords, though. Thanks to Martial Archetypes from various sources, Fighters can diversify their combat knowledge to accommodate a myriad of situations. And unfortunately for other Fighters, some Martial Archetypes do offer more flexibility to players.

Starting today, Dungeons and Dragons players can pick up the hardcover version of Mythic Odysseys of Theros, the newest sourcebook in Dungeons and Dragons’ enormous library of offerings.

Fans had their eyes twitched in disbelief as Jon Moxley made short work of CM Punk on Wednesday night. The bout was expected to be a hard-hitting fest, but executing a roundhouse kick spelled doom for the former champion. Moxley capitalized on the moment by dishing out two Death Riders to secure the pinfall. It was later announced that Rampage would feature unaired backstage footage concerning Punk’s injury. However, the short clip did not meet most fans’ expectations, as there was no clear update on CM Punk’s in-ring future....
However, fans can breathe a little easier knowing Johnson and his family are at the tail end of the infection, and appear to have taken it well. After announcing his diagnosis, he quickly added, “I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We are on the other end of it, we’re on the other side, we are no longer contagious.” While his daughters had some minor sore throats at the beginning of the process, he reassured fans that this was largely the extent of the symptoms for the two young ones....

The Argentine guided the ball into the back of the net in the 16th minute against Sassuolo, scoring what was his sixth goal in four league games. Dybala joined Juve from Palermo back in 2015 and his performances for the Serie A champions have seen him linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona. The 23-year-old scored 23 goals in all competitions in his first season with the club, before notching 19 in the 2016-17 campaign to help Juve win the league and reach the final of the Champions League....
“We want Bama! We want Bama!” About 20 minutes later at the postgame press conference, Marcus Mariota was asked if that’s what the Ducks really want. He had the prepared answered. “It doesn’t matter to us,” Mariota said. “Whatever happens next, we look forward to playing them.” Mariota didn’t specify who, and with good reason. “Them” happens to be Ohio State instead.

It’s over now, the cruelest end to a Blue Devils season since the last one. Maybe this is even worse. Last year’s team had a 25-6 record at the close of the regular season and a legitimate shot at doing Duke-type things in March, but when the global pandemic was declared, the NCAA Tournament was canceled a day later. So nobody got to enjoy March Madness. The Devils even received the small consolation of starring in the rebroadcast of the classic 1992 Elite Eight matchup with the Kentucky Wildcats....

Obviously, Dungeons and Dragons is a property that strongly resonates with geek culture and occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of so many people.

Taking on the role of a Player Character (PC) can seem a monolithic task for many at first. There are, at this point, dozens of different rules and subclasses in D&D, let alone how many spells and items exist as well. It’s a fairly natural progression for fans of video game RPGs to become interested in the tabletop games that inspired them, but can seem overly complicated compared to the digital counterpart....
Role-playing games—particularly ones in which Elvish might be spoken sans irony—are much-maligned and mocked by those who know of them. But I would argue that those who’ve at least crawled through a handful of imaginary castle keeps would recognize the appeal of an open-ended story played out with friends. For the uninitiated, table-top fantasy games fundamentally involve creating “characters” on paper with qualities and skills and reacting to situations described verbally by another player (the “dungeon” or “game master”) as part of a greater adventure (the “campaign”)....
