I find all this conversation quite a fascinating look at 1e, and make me glad my journey due to availability was Basic to 2e.

Due to how young I was when encountered star wars and Black Hole, for a long time I thought the Black Hole was some sort of adventure with R2D2 and C3PO, I probably only in last decade when wanting to find it again realized completely different stories :)

Main ones for me Doctor Who Tolkein Star Wars Fighting Fantasy

I believe from memory that electronic devices dont work in Hogwarts, due to the ambient magical levels. Steam trains still work though, so some level of gun in theory would work, but like you say less prevalent in UK.

Yeah, I just hope they take care in terms of how the whole show / cast are portrayed. The book and movies were quite non diverse, and it wouldn't look that great if the new Snape is one of very few POC, but is the one bullied by James and Co, or the one POC teacher in faculty, and the one Harry...

I read a chunk of the prequels and the couple of sequels. Overall, I found the House ones (immediate prequels) enjoyable, not at level of Frank Herberts dune books, but nice look into earlier years of characters from the first Dune book (including delving further into the Emperor and Fenring...

Can the latest Discworld TTRPG be added?

I think largely unavailable for creators to not be influenced in anything they create, with some rare exceptions. But generally when looking for example at doing a painting, and working out what to put in the corner, they are thinking what do I think will go well there, and yes that will be...

I was copying the original language. Ultimately, either every decision someone makes in terms of what they support or don't, what they allow to be sold on their marketplace or not is cramming their ethics and morals on other people, or it is people applying their ethics as they see fit. The...

You can do what you want, use AI if you want. I am free to think less of you for doing so. Foundry and the like are free to ban AI content on their marketplace as well, as is their marketplace, without others cramming their morals and ethics down Foundrys throats.

So your argument you're making is that your prediction years ago about potential bans wasnt about hurting small publishers that were active at the time, but small publishers that were either going to enter the market or change their publishing to make use of AI and scale up? And so your...

Definitely interested in seeing in how it is going to finish, and if it is the conclusion to film series, how it will tie things off. I wonder if they will have Paul take on Letos fate, rather than Leto having to take it on, which in the book Paul was a bit too human with all the associated...

Yeah, I think im in similar boat. I think applying it to existing work / games can cause issues, with characters looking different pre and post , with some looking like completely different people which could be disconcerting. However, the general quality does look better, and so I think for new...

I strongly disagree with this part. Is part of that whole physical vs mental skills divide, where to play someone smart, you have to be smart yourself, but if want to play someone strong, you don't have to prove that you yourself can lift 50kg deadweight or whatever. If someone wants to play...

And then there is the cut after the bite, to when in theory he has now eaten it, but chip packet now fuller some time passed, opening up potential that took a bite, then spat it out making a mess, and they had to reset everything up and filled the chip packet a lot more than previous.
