How long has this DLC been in pre-release? Because aren't they close to releasing that 40K RPG, Rogue Trader?

I watched it again a few days ago. Yeah I didn't see Gygax, Arneson, or Greenwood. :(

Personally I kind of felt the bit where Edgin tried to talk about his sad backstory, before switching to humor as he tries to ask if Jarnathan was there, was kind of jarring and made it hard for me to really feel anything there.

Did the movie ever acknowledge Gary Gygax or did it just say Hasbro & WotC? I've heard claims it did acknowledge Gygax, Arneson, Greenwood, etc but like way at the end of the credits, but I don't know if any of this is actually true or not.

The Mario movie already made half a billion dollars, 5x its budget. Well I hope the D&D movie does well enough to be considered a success. Or a sleeper hit or whatever.

Do you think Honor Among Thieves may become a sort of slow flop? Honestly, releasing it shortly before the Super Mario movie probably wasn't the best decision. I know it only has been two weekends, but I suspect it would've had less competition if it had released mid-April.

Honestly, I'm wondering how well it will do once the Super Mario movie comes out. I hope both will do well.

I saw it again, this time with my dad. He didn't expect to find himself enjoying the movie, mostly because he finds a lot of fantasy and scifi stuff to be silly, eye rolling and hokey in general. But he found he enjoyed the movie more than he expected. Said it was a fun movie. And that the plot...

I saw the Amazon screening, and enjoyed it. Is this movie some sort of amazing epic that will give highbrow critics a smile? No. It's not the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But it's a fun movie. It's humorous, it has action, it's decent to good. And honestly, I think one thing that helps is that...

Speaking of Jakandor, was it part of a bigger setting? For some reason I thought it was a Greyhawk subsetting.

Canonically defiling depletes reasources insanely. Combine with that one creature that likes to destroy metal, I can see why lots of materials and resources are gone. And tons of your ideas are already in Dark Sun, as overgeek pointed out. So what makes them "changes" per se, beyond maybe...

Honestly wouldn't a number of D&D fantasy materials offer hefty protection against bullets, like adamantine or dragonhide or whatever? Yeah they're high end but even musket rounds aren't like real world modern high velocity jacketed rounds. And those could be protected against from longer...

Thinking on Dark Sun, with how bizarre its backstory could get with the halfling lifeshapers and their bio-organic tech, I think it's a shame the Green Age was so...conventional in technology & metallurgy with it being implied to be a rather typical fantasy setting. I kind of wish TSR had...

I think the sad part is, there would be people or players who would cause a tempest in a teapot via criticizing Dark Sun because of some grim theme or how harsh everything is and so on, and understandably WotC/Hasbro don't want to deal with that. Social media has actively made it easier for...

Wouldn't it be better to homebrew a Dark Sun game if you want to change its backstory that much? That way, you're not bound by any legacy issues. EDIT: Thinking on it more, why couldn't WotC simply build a 5e "like-Dark Sun" setting from the ground up? That isn't the old Dark Sun and doesn't...
