The things with Brian are missing because they don't want to feature things with Brian — which is understandable all things considered. And the rest are missing because of contract/rights issues, the old campaigns will probably be available on Beacon only if Geek & Sundry closes for good.

True but Hallmark did the one thing that makes transferable to even more niche services: expanding while retaining and catering to their current audience as well. While the Netflix model would have been disastrous since it's only about new numbers and not a care in the world about the current...

It launched two years ago? And yes, it's a streaming platform with some additional things as well — the social aspect is currently outsourced to a discord. For me, hiring someone from Hallmark makes a lot of sense. Sure, they could have hired a friend who likes ttrpgs but what do they know...

Based on what Spenser Starke has said of the development, Daggerheart had been in development for a year to a year-and-a-half when the OGL trouble happened. So it's not directly tied to it, but they did do the announcement a little earlier than planed due to it.

I feel like if it's polytheistic, then the religion shouldn't be a "pick one". Which is an issue I have with D&D, the other is the good/evil split. It feels weird. So I had each God basically have three facets, some good some bad in a mix. This is so far the gods in my campaign but it also have...

They're the publisher of the One Ring, a lot of the work isn't made by them. Same as with Outgunned and the Mörk Borg stuff. For their own things they seem more interested in working on new IPs than the one they already have.

I like Free League but a couple of points. I've been told the step dice version of YZE plays better than the dice pool one. It might be better but the dice pool one is at least pretty far from pulpy. It doesn't feel right. Free League is terrible at supporting their game lines past one or two...

Something else that's boring for a fun thread is that getting new books for the current rpg approved by Disney might also be an uphill struggle right now. IIRC Mandalorian books where given a no because "it the storyline wasn't finished" so that would not get an okay until after the movie at the...

I wish it were more colourful and weird rather than Guardians of the Galaxy: Next Generation. (And I say this as someone who really liked GotG movies.)

It should be re-released on youtube sooner rather than later, I think exclusive beacon VOD lasts a month. And if so, it should be back for free this week.

Lots of people have mental struggles but many us manage to keep our friends. Scott has burned his bridges with every friend he had in comics by just being an jerk.

From what I've understood, most of the drama left with Scott Kurtz.

Need to think about the list as a whole but good adaptations that hasn't been mentioned yet: Werewolves Within, based on the VR version of werewolf it has no right being as good as it is. Also liked the first Resident Evil and Rampage. Really wish we had gotten more Dragon Age animated...

I'm participating with catching up on some of the noir back-catalogue. But I did watch The Big Sleep, The Long Goodbye, and The Big Lebowski this summer/autumn and I can really recommend that thematic "trilogy".

I was just about to reply with "hitter, hacker, grifter, thief, and mastermind. Sometimes with a replacement in the form of maker and/or fixer."
