    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    I can't easily rewatch Alien3, and don't have good memories of it. I have good memories of Resurrection though and happily rewatch it every few years. Went through a bit of an Alien watch through with my eldest, though we skipped 3. I just couldn't put her through Newt and Hicks dying off...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I think Ezekial is threadbanned so can't respond. Regarding your example, in dnd 2024 most dragons dont have dragonfear now.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Fair enough. I can follow this argument / chain of logic better. Did feel like I was missing something :) But yes, the new superman is a good example that people dont always know what they want until see it, and so surveys etc can lead to wrong direction. I agree that sales doesn't equate to...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    We played 4e for a couple of years before ultimately bouncing off it, but minions was one of the things I liked. Yes, if try and treat statblock as universally true, it will create that disconnect and so can understand it breaking immersion for some people, but for us it meant we could within...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Just so I understand, the proof that the directors etc were right to ignore what people said they wanted is the financial success of the new Superman film, but the financial success of 5e can't be used as proof that the designers of 5e were right in their approach?

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Dmg 2014, calling forgotten realms out by name: Even if you’re using an established world such as the Forgotten Realms, your campaign takes place in a sort of mirror universe of the official setting where Forgotten Realms novels, game products, and digital games are assumed to take place. The...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Am i right in thinking there is a label somewhere of how some people seem to interpret freedom of speech as meaning only first opinion given is allowed it, and no one os allowed to reply with their opposing / different opinion? As seems to be a bit of that view going on at the moment.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    On the race as classes type thing, does anyone have experience on how Soulbound goes on that front? One i want to play, but had to bow out of my role playing group just as they were starting a Soulbound campaign, but from what I saw it divided classes by race, with each race having maybe 4...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    I generally agree, I only get concerned if someone is doing a somewhat more black and white type story with clear good guys, and their thoughts/ behavior sometimes , whether they are trying to portray them as flawed, or is a genuine view of author that that is good. Examples where I'm unsure is...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Bane's return was well foreshadowed, Kelemvor had book around his return and Bhaal had adventure for him, but I would need a reminder on Myrkuls return beyond him just suddenly being back at some point.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    He has come back once before, for better or worse, in Dragonheir Silent God's, though apparently leaves ambiguity as to whether was after his Lich death or not, though Elminster feared he could return. Ones I've seen return over time are Bane, Bhaal, Myrkul, Kelemvor, is always possible...
