    In French Villeneuve confirmed the news : «Je viens de recevoir des nouvelles de Legendary. Nous allons officiellement de l’avant avec Dune : Part Two, a affirmé le réalisateur québécois dans un communiqué. C’était mon rêve d’adapter le roman Dune de Frank Herbert, et je dois remercier les fans...

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    When I saw the Lynch movie when it came out I didn't understand much. I decided to read the Dune book to dig deeper into the universe of Dune.

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    Jeff Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. "Once we get out of the pandemic, if we have a movie like this, clearly you'd want to go into theatres first. There's no question of that." "Goldstein estimated the film would have debuted with approximately 20 per cent more in box office had...

    Escaping Violent Players

    Over 40 years of gaming. Extremely few, less than 1%. But they do stand out.

    Escaping Violent Players

    Wargames can be really intense too. A few years ago I told one guy I didn't want to play against him anymore because of his violent antics. He sought me out a week later at the gaming store to physically intimidate me. He tried to swipe the glasses of my face. A good thing I was playing a game...

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    “I’m smiling,” Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Jeff Goldstein said on Sunday morning. “Exhibitors are thrilled. The best part is, fans are loving what they’re seeing. They’re loving the big-screen experience. It’s been a winner of a weekend for movie-lovers.” In an interview...

    Escaping Violent Players

    I had one player throw a d20 at me after a string of bad rolls. I ducked and it punched deep into the basement styrofoam sheet insulation. We all yelled at him. He calmed down instantly and behaved after. We were 14-15.

    Why Do You Hate An RPG System?

    Was never able to play Shadow Run. Instead, I used Savage Worlds with the Interface Zero setting book. We had lots of fun.

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    If it's any consolation I have a university degree in Cinema and Film Making. I don't agree with these 'critics' of style over substances. It's like saying Kurosawa and Mastroianni have no substance. Just disregard them. Villeneuve is a great visionary and cinematographer in a similar way that...

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    Same with the original Star Wars Trilogy. I had to wait for Empire Strikes Back. Then a million SW fans cried out 'How could it end like this?' It was a very dark period for fans. 🙃

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    There is actually a scene in which we learn the Sarduakar are the best of the best on the Emperors planet. The Harkonnens need them to go against the elite trained by Duncan. Considering they completely destroy the Atreides family during the invasion I would say they are shown to be total bad...

    Escaping Violent Players

    I was a player in the first session of a Role Master new campaign early 90s. One player kept drinking beer and became increasingly more violent. He almost came to blows over a ridiculous role-play situation I barely recall. He threw is chair and displaced the table. That ended the campaign...

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    Saw it this afternoon. My wife and I really liked it. The Lynch version has finally been erased from my brain. I screamed at the screen for more when the movie ended! Let's hope they make Part Two.

    Using actual IP pictures must far more expensive. Also, maybe they weren't simply allowed for some undisclosed reason. There is talk of a reboot.

    [AGE System] Creators Alliance

    My players prefer the new version with a specialization at level one. They said the characters feels more rounded, instead of having to wait to level 4 with the Basic Core Book. They also like the class specific stunts and the addition of the new Envoy class for Face characters.

    [AGE System] Creators Alliance

    Green Ronin finally opened their Community Creative Program on DrivethruRPG. It's called the AGE Creators Alliance. It is similar to the D&D DMGuild. I've been waiting for this. Might even participate with a few creations of my own. This will certainly boost adventure support for AGE. One of...
