I was wondering whether Part III will just be Messiah, or incorporate Children as well - especially with how II ended and Chani leaving Paul, could leave room for Paul to become the God Emperor instead of Leto.

Just on this part - my impression was that Herbert was saying that Paul is a hero, but that heroes aren't necessarily good - a warning against hero worship /charismatic leaders. “The bottom line of Dune is beware of heroes. It's much better to rely on your own judgment, and your own mistakes.”...

Best Horror Monks of All Time

One thing I like with some of the older special effects, and for me this is especially true when comparing the original The Thing vs it's sequel/prequel movie - the practical effects in the original made the alien more 'alien' as such - it didn't move as creatures on earth do. Whereas the...

I love this book, a really cool setting book to my mind that opens up lots of possibilities.

I don't think I can do a top 10, and doesn't look like I've watched as wide a range as others, plus I'm quite aware at this point that for most part for movies / books I'm not a good judge on overall quality, vs whether I just plain enjoy it, but he ones that tend to stick in my mind as good...

I think it is mainly referring to the stuff covered in this one below: https://www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-historian-benn-riggs-on-gary-gygax-sexism.705192/ Where Rob Kuntz called the following (or some part thereof) slanderous: "Well authors Jon Peterson and Jason Tondro mention that early...

For the movie, I agree - I think book is more nuanced and explains why he didn't go with fellowship (would essentially be a big glowing sign, especially as got nearer to Gondor / Mordor, for Saruman and Sauron) - but potentially was used as one of the false trails given instead to suggest ring...

I agree with this and @Micah Sweet's other post around what can also lead to greater differences, I do think in DnD though we haven't really seen as much differentiation as could be the case under those circumstances. the Player's Handbooks tend to only have humanoid races, and a lot of the old...

I think one thing that in theory should make Sci fi lead to more differences, is that different planets/ moons etc would have different qualities which would lead to life developing quite differently, both physically and mentally (I liked the three body problems glimpse at sentient life on a...

I didn't think anyone was arguing that the warlock should start already powerful, just whether they should have had to have chosen their patron at level 1 or not. A5e could have the patron selected at level 1 or level 3, and neither option would prevent it following the narrative for levels 1...

I like the look of it from the quickstart. Nice and simple mechanics, which at this point in life with mixture of teens and infants in house, trying to get game time is alot harder and simple mechanics like this means don't need to bring a lot of stuff / do a lot of mental math's work like with...

I've got the quickstart, it arrived about an hour after the heads up that it will be coming out email.

I'm part way through my reread of the original dragonlance trilogy, part way through dragons of winter night. Part of our first encounter with Tanis is him explaining he grew a beard as was in places where showing elfish blood would cause issues. Riverwind to begin with was also suspicious of...

from the blurb: 'It includes the material from the previous edition of the game and its supplement, Discworld Also – all of it updated to reflect the events of the Discworld novels released since then, as well as the rules of GURPS Fourth Edition.'

Ah yes, you are right sorry, I missed that part in the conversation.

Enjoyed both :) Not as good as original 2 Alien movies / Predator movies (not even close) but fun to watch, I actually watched Alien: Resurrection 2 or 3 times at the cinema as really enjoyed it, far more than Alien 3 (really don't like Alien 3 - when going through the movies with my teenage...

Did you miss what GMforPowergamer's post was replying to? Max saying that 'If they're acting like adults, they will describe to me what their character does in the first place and not expect me to guess and then have to correct me.' - pretty much calling GmforPowergamer's players childish, so...

Feels quite similar to comments in below thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/interview-with-chris-cocks-on-d-d-ai-the-ogl-and-more.706098/ Regarding the FAQ though - the FAQ is in terms of AI Art, and I think they've been pretty clear / consistent that won't use AI art, but that they may...

My understanding of investigation side was they knew where to get them, thanks to the content creator's videos (if no videos had been made, possibly he could have just kept them anyway with none the wiser?) - but the investigation was to find where in supply chain it broke down ending up with...
