    We won

    I was an adult so I could play when I wanted. But I remember when I was in nursing school and on my break I was reading a gaming book. My patient care instructor saw me and told me that I should put it away that no one will hire a nurse who was involved in that stuff.

    what isn't an rpg that should be?

    It is called Darkover Age of Chaos a game of psychic conflict. It was published by EON games. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1979-Eon-Darkover-The-Ages-of-Chaos-SEALED-NOS-HTF-/160941998552?pt=Games_US&hash=item2578e401d8

    Ruined forever

    A new villain would have been nice. I don't think Finnegan would have worked out with this Kirk. The original Kirk was a serious student at the academy not the playboy the new one is. I thought the entire point of rebooting the series was to get away from all thje canon and do new things...

    Bradley Cooper as Indiana Jones? Didn't see that coming!

    That was what I was thinking of him from. Another actor and I admit this may just be lust talking is Karl Urban. But he is talented. He really captured Bones in the new movies without being a caricature and he played a younger Tommy Lee Jones in Comanche Moon and caught the mannerism and way of...

    what isn't an rpg that should be?

    I will take a look at it tomorrow and tell you who made it. It is in the same room as my pet parrots and they are in bed for the night. I don't want to turn on the light and make them squawk and wake up my two roommates who have to get up early.

    Bradley Cooper as Indiana Jones? Didn't see that coming!

    I think it would be great to see Harrison Ford in a mentoring role of new young archaeologist. That way you can cast a new actor as the younger action hero without people going no only Ford can be Indy. If they go for the middle age Indy as they did in Raiders then there are several actors who...

    Ruined forever

    There have been things I have not liked but not to the extent that it drove me away from the original or ruined it for me forever. I have not been thrilled with most of Moffet run as producer of Dr Who. I hated second season of War of the Worlds when they completely gutted the show and...

    I have a Xena/Hercules role playing game as well as a Darkover and He Man and Ninja Turtles. I just unpacked these older games as was like I didn't remember these games.

    Cultural appropriation in writing?

    Actually they used the ancient rubber tree people of central America as the basis for his tribe. Which granted they never gave a name to. One of the reasons at least according to what Robert Beltran said was that they did not want to pin it down and speculate on how a native American tribe would...

    Cultural appropriation in writing?

    Originally when planning the series they knew they wanted a Native American from the planet Darvon. In Next Gen the Native Americans on that planet chose to give up their federation citizenship and become Cardissian citizens. Eventually this lead to the resistance group the Maquis. So they knew...

    D&D 5E What races do you expect to see in the core books?

    While I am not overly fond of the 4E races of dragonborn, tiefling and eldran I don't care if they end up as a core race. I rarely allow half orcs as PC race in my games because I find the entire how they come about problematic and when you add in the fact that most societies would not be very...

    Cultural appropriation in writing?

    I am not sure how Voyager failed in the portrayal of Chakotay. I remember the hoopla at the time was based on the fact that actor Robert Beltran was not an "American" Native American but is of Mexican and Meso Indian descent. But in the context of Star Trek I thought they handled his...

    Do spoilers bother you?

    I realize sometimes I want to be spoiled. Recently watching a show a character was stabbed in the neck. Now this character is not a regular but a guest in the credits. I did not want to wait until next week so I went looking for the information of he lived or died.

    Do spoilers bother you?

    I have never seen anyone behave that way in my real life. Most of the people I know when asked not to say anything stop talking about it or leave the room with the person they were talking to so they can finish the conversation without spoiling it for someone else. The internet is another...

    Do spoilers bother you?

    That is hard in the old days of Dr Who we saw the shows years after they were shown in the UK. We already knew when Tom Baker was going to regenerate and who he was going to regenerate into. If you were a casual fan and didn't read magazines or got to cons you might not get spoiled. But what are...

    Do spoilers bother you?

    I don't care one way or another. But I do care about the absolute whining that accompanies a spoiler. Especially when the movie or TV show has been out more than a year. I had some moron get upset over my saying that Stargate SG1 starts out episodic then later goes into more overall reaching...

    Pathfinder Legends Audiobooks from Big Finish

    I am looking forward to them. I have a huge collection of their stories. Not just Dr Who but Highlander, Stargate, Sherlock Holmes, Blake 7 and I know I am forgetting some. I have never found one that I felt was a waste of money.

    what isn't an rpg that should be?

    I think it does a good job and I suppose with work it could be adapted. But the mythology of the shows are very different.

    what isn't an rpg that should be?

    I agree with several of these. Would love a Codex Alera rpg and Dune. I think Grimm could be a nice urban fantasy rpg.
