30 for 30 Orlando Magic is a documentary film series produced by ESPN that focuses on the Orlando Magic basketball team. The series is part of ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 documentary series, which highlights significant sports stories and events. The Orlando Magic, a professional basketball team based in Orlando, Florida, joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1989. The team quickly rose to prominence, thanks in large part to the arrival of superstar center Shaquille O'Neal in 1992, who was followed by fellow superstar guard Penny Hardaway in 1993. The documentary explores the rise of the Magic during the 1990s and their impact on the city of Orlando. The team's success on the court, which included multiple playoff appearances and a trip to the NBA Finals in 1995, generated tremendous excitement and support from fans.
Too much balance can negatively affect flavour. Not everything has to be exactly equal; it's more important to be playable and fun.
I haven t read these kobold press options, so I don t know how balanced they are, but I feel like sometimes the perfect balance isn t desirable argument gets used to defend things that are seriously in need of a balance adjustment.

The team's success on the court, which included multiple playoff appearances and a trip to the NBA Finals in 1995, generated tremendous excitement and support from fans. However, the Magic's ascension was not without its challenges. The team faced numerous obstacles, including injuries to key players and internal conflicts.
I reviewed all 700 spells in Kobold Press’s Deep Magic Book
The point of the document is not for people to read through it all (that would be as insane as writing it) but rather if you do buy this book, and are looking to approve a specific spell, this may give you some idea of any problems the spell currently has.
I also point out some of the great spells in the book as well. You can find them labelled as (GREAT)
I guess if I had to summarize my findings I’d say that this book’s spells are filled with a mix of proofreading and balance problems.
- Either ignoring or just not understanding 5th edition mechanics.
- It has a lot of spells with unclear or vague text.
- The spells are not balanced for their level
- There are at least 140 spells that to me are clearly underpowered or clearly overpowered for their level (and not by a little)
- There are another 83 spells that are on the edge of being called either of these.
But there are other issues with it’s spells as well.
- There is an over-reliance on referencing other spells in order to explain a spell’s effects.
- Too often you need the creature statblocks in one of Kobold Press’s other products to use these spells
- Though this is somewhat mitigated by the statblocks being open license, since you can find websites that provide them. They should still have been provided in this book.
- The 1st level spell Mosquito Bane, for instance, lets you kill any insects (with less than 25 hp) within 50 feet of you without them even getting a chance to save against it.
The quality of the subclasses is much better than the spells. But they can be generic at times.
The formatting also needs work as well. About 50 pages worth of actual content gets thrown into an appendix for some reason (including subclasses, spells, and other features).
- They introduce new spell schools but then don’t treat the subclasses and spells in these schools consistently (some subclasses or spells end up in their associated school’s section, while others get thrown into another section of the book)
That isn’t to say it is all bad news. I think there is great content in the book. It just gets dragged down by all of this.
Also, a lot of the issues that were present in their past products weren’t addressed. Like many of these proofreading issues were present in the Midgard Heroes Handbook as well as earlier Deep Magic products.
Overall, the product just felt like it needed more time in the oven.

The documentary delves into these issues and examines how they impacted the team's performance and chemistry. One of the most significant events in the Magic's history was Shaquille O'Neal's departure from the team in 1996. O'Neal's decision to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent was a pivotal moment that forever changed the course of the franchise. The documentary explores the aftermath of O'Neal's departure and how the Magic attempted to rebuild without their star player. Overall, 30 for 30 Orlando Magic provides a comprehensive look at the rise and fall of one of the NBA's most captivating teams. Through interviews with players, coaches, and key figures in the organization, the documentary offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on the team's successes and struggles. It also examines the lasting impact the Magic had on the city of Orlando and the way they shaped the future of the NBA..

3. Emily - 2/5 stars - As a casual basketball fan, I was excited to learn more about the Orlando Magic through "30 for 30". However, I found the documentary to be overly focused on the team's failures rather than highlighting their successes. It seemed to dwell on the disappointments and missed opportunities, which made me lose interest in the story.
