OK, fair enough...but it gets tricky. Star Trek 2-4 can be viewed as a trilogy within a series, for example. And some have skipped films to include the ones they like and exclude the ones they don't. Indiana Jones isn't really a trilogy, as the films don't have much in connection with each...

I think "film franchise" works better, as few films are envisioned as part of a trilogy. It also allows you to consider films as a whole and not artificially excise three films from larger series'.

I understand why they did it, but I wish WotC would remove Kara-Tur, Zakhara, Maztica, and even the Horde lands from the FR...go back to the Greenwood version then either leave the rest unknown/implied, or build out a bit from there. You could even take it as an opportunity to fully re-design...

I didn't play it, but lived in Burlington VT in the mid-90s. I knew a guy who was a barista at a large now-defunct coffee shop (Samsara) who ran a Vampire LARP from the coffee shop. IIRC, he told me there were 50+ people involved (or maybe 150! I just remember "fifty" being part of the...

I'm thinking of getting rid of Peacock. I held onto it because it is so cheap, but damn, the commercials are out of control. I still think Apple is the "new HBO": the best overall quality, but with limited output. That is, Apple in 2025 is sort of like HBO in 2010. It even has its "must-watch...

From a thread in Geek Media, I've idly been considering giving solo gaming a shot. I don't really have the time or interest to join or start a gaming group, but I have fond memories of late nights win the 80s and maybe 90s of running myself through the Random Dungeon Generator of the 1E DMG...

My story is vaguely similar to @Dannyalcatraz. For me, though, gaming has always been a fluctuation in interest and whether I'm actively playing or not. Since I started playing in the early 80s, I would go through a few years of an active campaign, then a few years where I wasn't playing, but...

Wow - impressive work, @Echohawk . Without having read the entire thread, I'm wondering if this question has been asked: How much would it cost now, in 2025, to collect every official product ever published? Meaning, If it would have cost $23,000 to collect from 1974-2025, how much would it...

I just got a nice box from Noble Knight: Coriolis: the Great Dark (Free League) Labyrinth Worldbook (Tales of the Valiant RPG | Kobold Press) Atlas of the Latter Earth (Worlds Without Number RPG | Sine Nomine) Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City 2E (Exalted Funeral Press) Out of the Ashes...

A universe in which people have different opinions and tastes.

I'd probably go: 1. 2001 - What hasn't been said? 2. Dr Strangelove - If only for the vital fluids; Peter Sellers was so damn good, but so is everyone else in this film 3. The Shining - Nicholson's performance is somewhat underrated at this point; still probably my favorite horror flick of all...
