    D&D Movie/TV Chris Pine To Star In D&D Movie

    They didn't cast the same star. Chris Pratt was in GotG; they're casting Chris Pine, who was in Wonder Woman and the JJ Star Trek movies.

    ALIEN TV Series Officially On The Way

    I bounced off Legion's second season, and have never seen Fargo. But the guy has a reputation. Colour me intrigued. We've got canon from the movies that Xenomorphs have been around since time immemorial, so I can see them doing a modern day setting. I'd prefer proper SF, but unless they splash...

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    Wasn't there some sort of genetic locator device the bounty hunter's guild used?

    D&D General Christmas elves in dnd?

    Gnome artificers.

    Disney's making 10 Star Wars and 10 Marvel TV shows

    I never saw the point of Cara Dune, even though I'm quite happy with strong female leads. (Xena, Orphan Black). I don't think the actress can carry a show. This isn't the 70's, when Lee Majors could carry a show by frowning at the camera and running in slow motion. On the other hand, Ahsano...

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    Aside from anything else, Skywalker Rises suffered greatly from the passing of Carrie Fischer. From art I've seen, it looked like it would have taken quite a different path.

    D&D 5E (2014) Morality Dilemma?

    Suggestion: if you're going to have a Gnomish-majority nation as slavers, have other Gnomish-majority cultures or lands that are anti-slavery, or at least don't practice it themselves.

    The 1980's called and want their Satanic Panic back!

    D&D 5E (2014) Attribute Score Method

    Because people wanted to roll, (4D6-L) but we were concerned that we may end up with characters that were not as good as others, we came up with this: The DM rolled 4d6-L seven times. We dropped the lowest. We could then each take these stats and put them in whichever abilities were best for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rope Burn Damage

    I think you'd discourage all the heroic climbing, swinging, and leaping you see swashbucklers and action heroes do in the movies if you were to dig down into rope burn as a source of damage. What else: stubbing your toe in difficult terrain? Broken fingernails from climbing? Save vs gas after...

    Spectacular Settlements Bring Dungeons & Dragons Home For The Holidays

    From the headline about "spectacular settlements", I thought first this thread was about the court cases against WotC!

    The sarlac may regurgitate things it can't digest?

    Wonder Woman Out Dec 16th

    I think you only need to see the first one. DC hasn't really done the continuity thing Marvel did. Well, some countries (like mine, Australia) may actually be able to have cinemas open. I'm sure Hollywood doesn't want to miss those dollars - they'll need every dollar they can get. I'm glad she...

    What hooked you?

    The Mandelorian hooked me on the basis of STAR WARS without Jedi! Exploring the filthy dark worlds that were the backdrop of so many stories. By the time the funny swords started showing up I was already hooked.

    Resurrection implications

    Resurrection won't give anyone eternal life, by RAW. Something like a Death Prayer would be good for assassins to have - what's the point of killing someone if they're only coming back short a diamond? There are other things you can do to the resurrected: have their hair go white, or they go...

    Pre-order the Colonial Marines Operations Manual for the ALIEN RPG

    Sadly there's no way I can persuade my mob to play a military campaign. So I'm saving my enthusiasm for the Truckies campaign.

    D&D General Oh, the Humanity! Exotic Races, Anthropocentrism, Stereotypes & Roleplaying in D&D

    On the one hand, I understand people being uncomfortable with their accent being... portrayed poorly. It can be bloody annoying. (As an Aussie, I should know - only the best of English actors can do it half-way right!) On the other hand, if you're sitting around the table in the privacy of your...

    They could cast Sebastian Stan as a young Luke.

    D&D General Do I need an attitude adjustment? (They're gonna nova the BBEG)

    IMHO the whole point of playing Ravenloft is to be scared of the bad guys. So you totally have license to make them more powerful, if that makes them scary.

    [+] Star Trek Discovery (Fan) Thread

    Yeah, I know everyone loves Tilly, I do too. But making her first officer (acting) is a bit of a stretch.
