My kids get phones when they have a job and can pay for them. I do not allow social media apps and YouTube is locked down. Social media is a cancer and developing minds should not have access to it.

Camp Cretaceous is a great show. I wish the new film had used their characters.

He's 12. Politics is not on his radar nor have I seen anything related to it with his friends unless complaining about school is now political.

4+ billion gross. The net for all 3 is under a billion. It approaches a billion when you add Rogue One and Solo. If you add the TV shows, then the cost of SW may outweigh the profits. D+ has not really made a profit. Merch sales are down significantly when compared to pre-Disney. As for Gen Z...

Rumor is that Disney made an offer to buy the IP from the BBC.

They need to get away from any timeline surrounding any of the movies. The sequel characters are not that compelling and they run the risk of keeping the current divide and angst if they make films close to the time period. They need room to be creative and tell new stories without the...

They should set it a 100+ years later and ignore the sequels.

Or they are just trying to stay upbeat and as positive as possible to offer some hope for people who see 60% or more of their sales in the US. TLG's main focus seems to be that they have and want to support their local communities which is a worthy goal. I do not want anyone to see their jobs...

It's not fandom. It is social media and algorithms used to manipulate. The fandom is fine outside of a general inability to disagree or debate in a healthy way and that, again, comes from weaponized social media and algorithms.

I rewatch 4-6 every year and the prequels every few years. I tried to watch the sequels again. The only sequel movie I have found that I am able to enjoy is TFA. TFA can be watched again. Rey and Finn had a lot of potential in that film and are the only new sequel characters I find likable. I...

I agree. Each of my campaign is different but it often does have me creating a new continent or region on one of my existing campaign worlds. In this scenario, some details are the same like years, seasons, stars, moons, cosmology but each game can have distinct themes, gods, etc.

This. My experience is that most players want the DM is have some direction or something planned. For me, I just detail the events happening in the setting and if they choose not to engage, then those events play out without them such a the recent Darakhul plague. They had a chance to stop it...

Only because we gave up and never built the needed infrastructure. We could have kept going 50 years ago.

We have the tech to build O’Neal style colonies, capture or move asteroids into LaGrange points, or build a ship with a spin section. It would be expensive but could be done and mining the asteroid and turning it into a habitat could be lucrative.

i think 5e skills are boring too. I preferred 3e/PF1e system. PCs generally had more skills and granularity and I like assigning points. They also grew better. I dislike the flat prof bonus for skills in 5e.

The US exempted computer parts. Unless China is adding fees on parts they make to export, then those parts are not subject to the 145%. Smartphones, computers, chips, etc were exempted.

Most publishers have moved to cloud storage via AWS etc. I see very few continue to create or host their own server farms.

Electronics and computer parts were exempted.

My wife and I were just discussing last night how we felt betrayed by season 2. We spent season 1 building up the meeting of the heroes and then it all fell apart and they separated again. We wanted to see them become actual superheroes and start teaming up etc!
