    2026 Book Club [Discussion]

    I've just taken the monumental step of starting Perry Rhodan. It is a trip that is basically impossible to finish, but I plan on reading here and there (on trips and such, not my basic reading which will still be other novels and books) and slowly making it through...at least the first few sets...

    AD&D 1E What is the best way to generate ability scores for 1e AD&D?

    Any method in the DMG. (Added Note: UA methods not included in this, if one used UA, they still had to roll in front of me, and that was what they got and no one else could use it...). After players have rolled the numbers, any player can use that set for their characters. Thus, if someone...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms cover to "Guide to the Dalelands" revealed, book delayed

    Good eye If you look at the bandit hiding behind the tree behind the horsemen you also see that his hand is at a very weird angle. Also, I'm not sure if the Horses have the right number of legs between them...it could just be perspective, or it could be that they are both three legged horses...

    Shadowrun deserves better

    My exposure to Shadow Run recently was the Trilogy of Games (top Down RPGs) from a few years ago (SR, SR:DF, SR:HK) which were awesome enough to get me to get the 5e version of the game. However, I don't know anything beyond that. I've normally been more of a Cyberpunk gamer as far as that...

    Project Hail Mary Discussion

    I saw the movie yesterday with 3 grandkids. One grandkid summed it up. It was weird, but I liked it. I enjoyed the film more than I enjoyed the Martian.

    Trailer Masters of The Universe – Official Trailer

    I'm kind of the opposite. I was already older and my kids were watching things in the 90s and 2000s. I didn't even see Thundercats until it was on Cartoon Network in the later portion of the 90s at night and absolutely loved it. Didn't require kids to even want to watch it! It was like one...

    $10,000 Lead Artist Contract Open Call for Plotweaver RPF

    10K is an awfully small amount of money. If that's for 4 months of work that would be the equivalent of 30K a year if full time. If they want the best, they need to up the money. Of course, some starting artists will apply, everyone needs to start somewhere, but that's a very small amount...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Haven't they basically done something like that with things l like Radiant Citadel?

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    I have heard a little about her stances, almost all of it second hand. I don't linger in the crowds that follow this stuff, so overall, some of your post may pertain to people like me. If people realized how many anti-POC or discriminatory artists there are out there, how many there have...

    Friday Fun: Your Formative Geek Media

    Hmmm... Probably, first would be J.R.R. Tolkien....maybe Moorcock exposure. Tarzan? (Tarzan becomes incredibly fantasy after the first book). Then came Wargames...and then D&D. I loved Nickel and Dime SF books back in the day. The old SF Radio shows that came on.

    D&D General 'War Wizard' is a new Dragonlance novel from Weis & Hickman

    So...Huma looks like Pedro Pascal?

    D&D General How do you do smart chaotic evil?

    Raistlin is a good Chaotic Evil character. Ironically, though not indicated by that and the author says they are not...Elminister could, in theory, actually, be the perfect Chaotic Evil Character as well. Many CEO's of some major Corporations (if you know them...you know them) are absolutely...

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    The furor I saw was more to do with the idea that she was using "witches" as a term. In some Traditional Christian theology, witches are those who make a deal with the devil for power and become his "daughters." In a similar vein (this is a D&D site!) they also had Warlocks, which did the same...

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    Similar situation. I have never read the books, but I had a daughter that absolutely loved them. I didn't really care about them, but she was a huge fan at the time. It was due to her that we went to every Harry Potter film the night they were released. I probably would not have seen the...

    New Lord of the Rings movie in the works centered around Tom Bombadil

    I can actually agree with this take. I think it was a mistake to make it into 2 long movies, much less 3 long movies. It allowed them more time to add things (similarly to how they added things to LotR) adding to the Hobbit in more abundance. (One thing that annoys me about LotR is that they...
