    If I'm not mistaken (and I can't be bothered to check), he was also in Schwarzenegger's Red Heat. Credited as Larry Fishburne.

    And this reminds me of "Hiero's Journey" and "The Unforsaken Hiero" by Sterling E. Lanier. Rangers, priests, psionics, druids, psionics-enhancing machinery, evolved animals and plants, evil psionic sorcerers, a giant intelligent slug... So much promise, so much frustration that he never...

    My wife and I usually play the game of "what demographic is watching this programme, at this time of day, according to the commercials?"

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I think the entire Empire in Andor was scary because they were all just people doing their jobs, following procedure, defending their little bit of turf in their office politics. But all those little bits add up to a colossal galactic tyranny.

    D&D 5E (2014) We should domesticate Rust Monsters

    Rust monsters are presumably why the Industrial Revolution never happens in D&D worlds. With so much iron around, they'd just increase in numbers. Or else disgruntled artisanal workers would release a few near the railways or factories. You really don't want to be on a train and discover that a...

    D&D General What does Arcadia look like?

    I picture rows of machines for playing Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galagga, Dig Dug, Frogger and so on.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Arbitration that isn't moderated by an impartial party isn't moderation. That's a review. Not a lawyer, but I've translated dozens of arbitration cases. Impartiality is a huge deal, even up to and including where the arbitration panel is seated.

    How Do You Learn Boardgames?

    My usual process is to unpack the game and admire all the cool pieces. Then I'll look at the rulebook, heave a sigh and lob it into the box. I'll check out the basics on SUSD (usually), then maybe a few how-to-play videos on YouTube. When the time comes to play, it's generally a combination of...
