    Firefly Revival Confirmed

    Whedon's career in Hollywood is extremely over. He's never getting involved with a show or film again. Look up why if you wish.

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    "efficient" is not a word associated with anything at TSR, lol. As I understand it, the artists in that era were pretty much on their own, and we're not given very sensible direction.

    Ad copy from another company, at that.

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    Draw Steel! had about 30k backers, to Crooked Moon's 21k. Given DS has no retail presence, and Crooked Moon is 5E, not hard to imagine Crooked Moon gas out sold it. Nor Pathfinder, nor Daggerheart.

    ICV2 numbers from GAMA are interesting

    Right, Draw Steel didn't even make this list, even including crowdfunding.

    Yes, since if the simple act of critical reading makes it a true statement, it seems a probable reading. Can you provide any counter example that makes it false?

    On what basis do you say that? If an assumption suggested by the context is true, why assume that ignoring the context and Turing a true statement into a lie is a better reading? One always have to make assumptions when interpretatomg a text created by another mind, that's the nature of reading...

    It is a reference encyclopedia. Given that context, just use your imagination a bit...cns you think of any similar text that has come before? Or is it a first? Near as I can tell, it is in fact the first time ever there has been such an official reference text. Given that microscopic leap makes...

    I am reading the blurb in context. Reading this in context, not only does it make sense, it is a true statement, not gaslighting at all. Unless you can think of a similar reference text? Seems easy enough to prove if it wasn't a first time.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    The question was not "does anyone not care?" Plenty of people don't care all sorts of things. There have been plenty of reviews out there, if you care to look. The game is quite good, aside from the connection to the novels. Personally, I'm looking forward to the generic version because this...

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Encyclopedia - new product

    Not really all that generous: this is the blurb text for a reference encyclopedia...and if you grant the extremely mild assumption that they mean "reference text"...then cna you think of a similar precursor? Since you have yet to even gesture towards one, seems not, so it is in fact a true...

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Encyclopedia - new product

    Worlds & Rwlms isn't doing the same thing. I think you have a case that the text is imprecise, maybe, but if read with a little attention to the context...can you provide a text that meets the definition of a similar reference text for multiple Settings, as clearly what is meant? You continue...

    What sort of official title? Can you name one with similar content and organization as showm in the preview images?

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    I would not want a whiskey review from a teetotaler. Not sure how familiar you are with this at all, nor sure why you seem so angry about it...?
