Again, someone responded better and more succinctly than I could have. The idea that Star Wars (that's been around since 1977 and may have over a hundred novels and short stories, not to mention comics and TV shows to it's credit) or Marvel (been around at least since 1961, counting Fantastic...

Many, MANY years ago I played in a many years long MEKTON ZETA campaign. I rarely get to to play as I've always been kinda a forever GM but it was by far one of my favorite TTRPG experiences of my life. My character name was a combination of two Tomino character names from Juusenki L-Gaim and...

I'm kinda in the same boat. I finished running a 10 year long campaign back in 2016-17(?) and while I have games I want to run? Finding a compatible group is the thing that's REALLY keeping me from gaming again. My last group was GREAT and spoiled me. They were good PEOPLE first and foremost and...

Sorry about that, I sent you a link to WOTC's site archive which was a pdf download of the actual article....

Yup. It was a very old Dragon Magazine article (Issue #127) that I think was probably reprinted in a later iteration (the online only version) of Dragon in the 2000's.

So that I'm not a complete debbie downer, my favorite genre hands down is a good modern supers game. Where i differ from most modern gamers it seems is the level of complexity. I grew up on Champions (Hero System), DC Heroes (MEGS) and later Mutants and Masterminds. I want to be able to have...

Romance and Melodrama focused games, Horror games and most period setting games are strict no-go's for me. Romance, because I have no interest in "pretending" to be involved in romantic situations with people. Horror games because there's already so much that we have no control over in real...

When Paizo did this with their 2e starter set i initially was like "what in the multi colored hard candy is this crap?" But then after a moment of thought it made SO much sense. And you're right all starter sets should be following this idea.

I was about to respond with this VERY SAME THING. But you've done it in a gentler and more rational tone that I would have.

Second Favorite - Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (1e) My favorite is Pathfinder 1e (which is based on Dungeons and Dragons 3.5)

I think what they did with Craig's Bond was pretty fresh and at least in my opinion makes his Bond superior to what came before. They gave him an emotional arc with Vesper Lynd at least in the first two movies. He's more human than he's ever been in CASINO ROYALE and QUANTUM OF SOLACE (aside...

I mostly feel the same about the Bond movies with a few exceptions. Martin Campbell's work on CASINO ROYALE might be the best of the modern Bond films, period.

The order is: M:I - III GHOST PROTOCOL ROGUE NATION FALLOUT DEAD RECKONING

Yeah, I wasn't happy with one thing in particular in DEAD RECKONING but the rest are pretty darn good.

Over the last two decades I've found the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise to be vastly superior to any of the Bond outings. Not saying that they were BAD but I've enjoyed GHOST PROTOCOL, ROGUE NATION, FALLOUT (especially FALLOUT) and DEAD RECKONING way more than any of the recent Bond films. That...

Pretty much the same with me. 4E was the beginning of the end of my support of D&D as I didnt like how 4E played and moved with Paizo over to their continued support of 3.5 and then Pathfinder proper. I've been using PF for my Fantasy RPG needs ever since. Oddly enough though I really...

Yup. Also, when Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker and Micheal Keaton when he was cast as Batman and Robert Downey Jr. was cast as Tony Stark. Fans...are not the best judges of things. Especially the so-called purists. No imagination...

When I run again it will probably be PF 1e or 2e. I've been using ChatGPT to help convert various 3.5 and even AD&D adventures to PF1e and/or 2e. This has saved me an immense amount of time and has really boosted the amount of available resources for use in a PF 1e or 2e game. I will probably...
