I owned a copy. Bought it, like so many other products, to mine for useful material for my own campaign. I don't think I opened it more than twice before I sold it a few years ago.

I'm not sure this has been discussed yet, but what about the kids' names? I don't think they were chosen by accident. "Wim" is impulsive. "Neel" tends to indulge others and follow their lead. I can't think of any associations with "Fern" but... "KB", in a universe where so far only droids have...

I'd forgotten all about The Acolyte. It was only as I was reading this thread that I realised I never finished watching it.

Star Wars is always full of violent death. Skeleton Crew has had several already - didn't the kids blast some pirate fighters already? But this was cold-blooded and deliberate. It wouldn't have been out of place in Andor, for instance, but from a SW character who's not an outright villain it...

Apropos of not much concrete, does anyone else get the impression that Jude Law had the time of his life in this role?

These security droids were better shots than Stormtroopers. Better shots than most Rebels too. I'll admit I was a bit shocked by Jod's ruthlessness with Brutus. Not for the character, but for what so far has largely been a kid's show.

In my mind goblins are usually the colour of mud. Or else blue, like in the "Jig the Goblin" books.

"You should really listen. Or would you prefer to hear the bad word of Lolth?"

Two bottles of single malt Irish whiskey (Bushmills and Redbreast), plus:

I thought I recognised the artist's style, so I looked him up. I was mistaken, but apparently Jimmy Cauty was not just an artist, but also in bands such as the KLF and Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction.

But then there's this:

Part of it, I think, is to highlight how close the resemblance is between him and Raylan. If Raylan took one step closer to the line, you know he'd end up like Boyd. Plus, a huge part of the enjoyment of Justified is the dialogue and delivery, with Walton Goggins and Timothy Olyphant leading...

It seems to assume that anyone watching knows the story - no explanation of what a Hobbit is, a reference to Hobbiton coming out of the blue, several parts of the adventure stuck in seemingly for no reason except they're in the book - but at the same time it assumes that they'll be OK with the...

Has anyone mentioned the "Yes Minister" special "Party Games"? Sir Humphrey and Jim Hacker are both promoted!

It appears to be from the Dragonlance book "Time of the Twins" - Caramon is sent to an arena to train and fight as a gladiator. It's explicitly noted that the armour is impractical and serves mostly as a costume.
