As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news: D&D Beyond has decided against implementing a contentious update to its digital character sheets, replacing all spells with those from the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons Player’s Handbook. This morning, Wizards of the Coast announced that D&D Beyond users can now rest assured knowing their character options, spells, and magical items won’t be automatically updated to the 2024 version in their character sheets. Instead, players who only have access to the 2014 Player’s Handbook will continue using their current rule set on their character sheet. For those of us with both versions, we can now enjoy the luxury of selecting from both sources when creating new characters! What a victory for the community!

Hey there! This past week, I splurged on a lightsaber. Nothing fancy, just one of the affordable ones available. To my surprise, it turned out to be quite a good buy. The sound effects were surprisingly crisp, it let me adjust the blade’s color, and it even had motion sensors for sheathing and unsheathing – all the standard features you’d find in most lightsaber replicas these days. Now, I might sound a bit odd saying this, but the fun I had playing around with that lightsaber (I’m 29, by the way) was more engaging than my time spent on Star Wars Outlaws.

Rime of the Frostmaiden, this magical creature has yet to feature in a 5th Edition adventure or have an official statistic sheet created by Wizards of the Coast.

Fans of Star Wars have longed for years to be fully engulfed in an open-world game set within the galaxy, and Ubisoft has finally granted their wish with the debut of Star Wars Outlaws. Although not perfect, this game provides a vast exploration of the distant galaxy that Star Wars enthusiasts haven’t encountered before, as players try to establish themselves as the most skilled thief in the universe. They can earn a reputation by making their mark through Outlaws‘ system while being part of an exciting new chapter in the Star Wars saga.

This week, “Star Wars Outlaws,” developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, will hit PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X platforms. Previously, reviews for this Star Wars game have started to surface, leading to an early Metacritic score for the title. Unfortunately, so far, the ratings aren’t favorable for Ubisoft.

When it comes to remakes, especially those based on horror series like Silent Hill 2, fans who have played the original game often know what to anticipate. Fortunately, this remake is introducing some alterations for those veteran players. Although we anticipated there would be new additions due to the extended length of the remake, a recent interview with Play Magazine has given us more insight into one key change. Silent Hill’s lead series producer, Motoi Okamoto, disclosed that enemies won’t appear in the same spots they did in the 2001 game. By moving these adversaries around, the creators aim to keep things exciting for even the most dedicated fans of Silent Hill 2.
