    Spoilers Dune Prophecy

    Yep. I have a rule of thumb: Short Season, Long Break Between Seasons, Cliff-hangers; 1 of the three is fine, 2 of the three will not make me happy, all 3 and it will be very hard to keep me interested as the new season finally rolls around. I love the Dune Universe enough that I will watch...

    Favorite Holiday Movie

    Some version (any version) of A Christmas Carol. I think this year will be the Muppet one. Which sadly I have never seen.

    D&D General D&D memes thread discussion…

    I had no idea I needed a Looney Tunes version of LOTR, but now I will be obsessing over it for the foreseeable future

    Did the nerds win?

    My exerpience couldn't be more different. The "new wave" players at my (very non-nerdy) work place think it is awesome that I can bring in my Holmes basic and 1st edition AD&D books and actively seek me out to try to run something. They would easily embrace trying the old stuff just to see what...

    D&D 5E Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    So what has helped me in the past is to do something different for myself. Taking a walk/hike/drive in a new area might shake loose some mental cobwebs. Find something to watch that outside of your normal viewing. Doing something new/diffrent sometimes (warning not always) will spark...

    D&D General The History of Alignment: Why D&D Has the Nine-Point Alignment System 4 UR Memes

    I read this thread just cause I knew it would reference Moorcock, Zelazny, Anderson. And that makes me feel old and nostalgic in the best kind of way. I always liked the Law-Chaos axis, regardless of if it was used like Anderson with a coorelation to Good-Evil or separated like Moorcock and...

    Your Most Useful and Most Used RPG Products

    All good answers so far. For me this year I have told my wife general office stuff (I don't play online at this point): 1) Notebooks and composition books 2) Nice Pens and Pencils (I like blackwing pencils) 3) Pencil Sharpner and as I am a low rent type of terrian builder: Jenga...

    D&D (2024) Alternate GOO Warlock Patron Ideas

    The Highwayman: An entity that choses a champion each generation to push the boundries of exploration (in whatever way that means to you). The warlock powers come from the combined powers from the prior generations of warlocks. Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a...

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    No. You can't just buy a public company like that. At the very least the board would have to approve (depending on state of incorporation). Yes a hostile takeover will work if you can throw enough money at it but it is not just offering insane amounts of money at stock holders.

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    So let's say he does....what then? I assume he will follow the anti 5e crowd, but they are already playing something else. The 5e fans go to one of the many options (that are now fully protected). So I would love to read others best guess for that future.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    So, unimportant question here, do we think that Musk's tweet will catch the eye of any of the late night host? I could maybe see Colbert mentioning it or Tomlinson making a bit about it.

    D&D General A glimpse at WoTC's current view of Rule 0

    I was not going to post this, but I thought this when I first read this post: back in the day I had a DM that would have 100% taken it literally like that and made the PC roll to hit another character (whoever was sitting closest at the gaming table probably) without allowing any...

    What Property Do You Still Want to See Get a TTRPG Adaptation

    Lots of good answers, so I have two bad ones: 1) I know I may get beat up on this one, but I would love to see that setting bible that was supposedly written for Rebel Moon. I know the movie had its problems, but I thought it was overall kind of neat. 2) Dungeon-Crawler Carl. This may just...

    D&D (2024) What's Your Experience Like with '24?

    Very interested in this. I sped read through the thread and didn't see any follow-ups. What were your players wanting to bring into LOTR 5ed ? I assume not classes or races (As that is the point of useing LOTR 5e). What, if anything, are you bringing into your LOTR game? Thanks

    Trailer Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* | D23 Brazil Special Look

    What I really like is how they did the last few years of Agents of SHIELD. 22 episodes can be hard to write for a focused ark (I think the Flash suffered from writers trying to draw out storylines). SHIELD would break up a 20ish episode season into 3 nearly distinct stories (one would bleed...

    Eric Noah's 3rd Edition Website

    I found this play not long post 3ed. I had been a frequent visitor to a different forum (I forget which one but it had the Ask Agamemnon on it), it was slowing up, and I found this place (mayber around 2004ish).

    D&D 5E Give me ideas for a really simple boost to martial characters [2014]

    So, I am in the camp that Martials (esp Fighters) need something but not neccessarily something combat focused. I also fondly remember 2e days when Fighters got more Non-Weapon Proficencies than Magic-Users (because NWP were based on class not Int). Therefore, I always look at ways to give...

    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    I have to echo The Changeling since I don't see it on anyone else's list. It is creepier than it has any right to be.

    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Talks AI Usage in D&D [UPDATED!]

    I know not having books would cut cost, but I think it will take at least another full generation of Game Designers/Executives to got that far, so I would say 15-20 years I guess they are watching Foundry's Ember RPG with great interest. That could shift the timeframe one way or the other.
