I'm kind of the same, I'm no longer in the mood to read some 800 page novel like I used to be. Something small and easy to read is just perfect for me, I think that's why I've gone back to reading RE Howard.

Love those movies, watched them many times. I didn't actually mind the movies I got them and a bunch of other movies from a friend which helped distract me from study back in my uni days, though never got around to seeing the last one. Won't be watching the series that's being made, don't...

Sometimes I wish we still had the large selection of tales magazines of the 1930s to showcase smaller stories.

Anything Tolkein related, though I guess I'm not refusing to take part, I just found his books so incredibly boring I have no enthusiasm to watch any of the shows. I did watch the first 3 movies all those years ago, but no interest in anything else Tolkein. Not interested in Game of thrones...

In the setting I made ages ago, the gods are from a race of celestials who seized the cornerstones of creation, ascending them to godhood and allowing them to cast back the fiendish horde invading the upper planes. They then bound the elementals into the inner planes, banished their titan...

I agree; I think this is why people talk about systemic racism. You can be racist and have power, and racist and have no power, but the former can actively prevent the target of their racism from advancement using systems in their control. As a couple of examples here in NZ I've heard (I think...

One thing I can think of is health and safety, buildings will typically have a maximum occupancy by floor to enable ease egress during a fire or other emergency. It might be less about how many people are actually using each bedroom and more about how many people are in each apartment, saying 2...

Yeah, the generators can be a little weird with what they won't allow, once I had an image fail, I added a full stop to the end of the last sentence and it made the image. I've been having issues creating an image of Belit from queen of the black coast, the description of her clearly wouldn't...

Yeah, I get the feeling they don't care anymore, sadly.

Strongholds and followers was great, I think I was running off that thinking K&W would be a great expansion on it. I have some other products from them and generally quite like their stuff, I think the only thing that stopped us using their classes was that everyone was comfortable using...

I have only backed maybe a dozen kickstarters and I guess the one I regret the most is kingdoms and warfare. I don't think it's a bad book but when flipping through I quickly got the feeling that the systems presented weren't ones I would end up wanting to use.

That's good to know, looks like PoD is back on the menu! Ordering other books from the states though, still a no go.

Yeah, maybe, I know a fair amount of people who would likely make use of it. If there was one in Australia that would also work, we're fairly linked, it doesn't cost much more to ship from Australia to here. We could even join Australia if we gave up and didn't want to be our own nation.

This'll be another to see on the big screen. I loved the first one.

And to NZ, it's reqched the point where I'm often put off buying physical books because, sometimes, it ends up be as much or more. I used to be able to order books from the US and including shipping it would be cheaper than going local, but then that was before some other changes that have also...
