    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT becomes Netflix Global Hit

    Yes, but, if you wrap up all plot points in season, you don't have lure for next one if it get's approved. Also, you need to write whole new plot for the season. AHS did this, every season is for itself, but that's exception, not a rule.

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT becomes Netflix Global Hit

    Some smaller, art/independent focused theaters are doing that and it's awesome. Specially for movies that aren't on streaming platforms and haven't been released on BR. Last movie i saw was Dune pt 2. 166 minutes. Add to that 20 minutes of adds/trailers, that's 3 hours. When i add 2*20 min...

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT becomes Netflix Global Hit

    That's also good point. Run times for blockbuster movies have gone up. Quick google search shows there are now less sub 100 min movies, and way more 150+ min movies than it was in the 90s and 00s. When you add 15-20 min of extras before movie (teasers, commercials, phone warnings) in cinema, it...

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT becomes Netflix Global Hit

    HAT is decent fantasy movie, but more than that, it's decent action comedy movie with solid cast. Even my wife, who isn't generally into fantasy, liked it. Also, Netflix is still globally no 1 streaming platform. Pair it together and no wonder it's become hit. I loved going to movie theaters...

    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    I cleaned my collection. Anything that isn't used fairly regular, gets sold or gifted. I did it with all books, not just rpg. On the other hand, adventure modules never were my thing. Core and player option books only, with occasional setting book and only for the games that will actually be...

    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    I don't. On the other hand, i'm not a collector of RPG books. I have a shelf with physical books, but i rarely buy anything new.

    D&D General Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond: A Multiversal D&D Lore Book Is Coming This Fall

    I'm glad they left out Dark Sun. Would be more happy if they dropped Ravenloft also. Not cause i don't like the settings, quite opposite, those are my two favorite settings. Personally, don't care for most settings in the book, except Planscape and Spelljammer. As for DS and Ravenloft, i...

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    Campaign we play for the last year or so is human only with a twist. There are magical infusions giving you traits of mythological beings ( elves, dwarfs, dragonborn etc). So you gain mechanical traits of other races, but still look like human. Real fantasy races do exist, but they are less than...

    Which fantasy TRPGs do you think truly reflect the characteristics of firearms as Game Changers?

    7th sea. Firearms are deadly. Combined with swordsman school that focuses on guns, you can often one shot kill unharmed opponent. While they are still slow and mostly one shot and then draw sword, getting hit hurts. Alot.

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    Why is railroading always talked about in negative context? Some groups enjoy railroads. Good DM can turn railroad into roller coaster. It twists, turns, goes up and down, but it always stays on track and doesn't allow for deviations. You can also enforce those rails by social contract. I'm...

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    It takes both GM work, but also takes proactive players who have formed ideas what they want to do. Both sides need to put some work to make sandbox game run well.

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    I have read only Ravenloft campaign setting and Domains of dread, Van Richten guides plus some novels from TSR era. Black box? You mean Ravenloft box set? Personally, i like 2ed Ravenloft. It's solid world building. Sure better than sorry excuse we got in 5e (VR guide to Ravenloft is pure drek).

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    Some of them quite easily in straight up combat. Darklords of Borca are Ivana Boritsi and Ivan Dilisnya, both 0-lv humans. 8hp, AC10, THC0 20. Except poison kiss and poison touch, they have nothing special. Regular humans. In 2ed Domains of Dread, when you read descriptions of domains, they...

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    That's kind of point of setting imho. Land itself is evil. Darklords could be killed like normal creatures ( roll initiative, drop them to 0 hp, they die, same as any other monster) but they would rise again, or someone else would take their place. They could be defeated ( special ways unique to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using AI for Your Home Game

    Used it couple of times. It's decent and get's job done. It's faster than scrolling trough google and searching for appropriate art.

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    One of the core principles of Ravenloft is removal of player agency. What makes it truly dreadful is that in the end, what ever you decided or did, ulitmatley doesn't matter. You killed Darklord? Every domain is in essence personal version of hell for it's Darklord. They are Darklords, they rule...

    D&D General Of Consent, Session 0 and Hard Decisions.

    As someone who has been that 1st person, no, i don't wan't to be that person. Unfortunately, i have some experience with serious trauma and for some reason people seem to find me trustworthy enough to open up even when we aren't really good friends. It's both honor and great responsibility. I...

    D&D General Of Consent, Session 0 and Hard Decisions.

    I have 4 regulars. If i want to run something specific and more than one is not on board, i'm happy to let someone else in group DM's. If no one has anything ready, i'm ok with not playing until someone else prepares their game. Until then, we can play Descent ( as we did on several occasions...

    D&D General Of Consent, Session 0 and Hard Decisions.

    My thinking goes in line with @Scribe. As a player, i'm the one who is responsible with which content i will or won't engage. Same as him, i turned down games. FE i had burnout on D&D and fantasy in general. Told my friends. Offered to run oWoD or 7th sea, but they weren't into it. They had fun...

    OSR Old school wizards, how do you play level 1?

    Even then, they aren't fun. Slowest xp progression,very low hp (unless you rolled at least 15 for con, 2 hp on average), low AC (unless you rolled at least 15 for dex, you have AC 10), 1 spell per day. Lv 1 wizards die if someone sneezes hard in their direction. Giving them name is optimistic...
