    The old edition is new to me. So it that a new edition or an old edition?

    Spoilers Alien: Romulus (Spoilers)

    Finally saw it -- was quite happy. It's a worthwhile add to the first two movies. Just one nitpick ... planetary rings don't work like that!

    Trailer Lord of the Rings anime coming this December: War of the Rohirrim

    I was concerned on the original announcement, because I don't love anime and find most anime styles difficult to watch. This looks fine to me, so I hope the story and voice acting are up to the challenge -- optimistic for a good movie. Though the outfit Hera is wearing when she walks in the...

    Spoilers Alien: Questions

    Yeah, I agree. The older I get and the more franchises I get exposed to, the more I feel like the fandom's desire to have every little bit of background and lore explained is actually detrimental to the franchise. Tolkien's writing, for example, is full of a bunch of textual ruins that (IMO...

    I just want to play a coherent and viable Ranger class. Is this the PHB for me?

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    So ... could you pick this up and run the character classes as is in an otherwise bog-standard core 5E game?

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    Corgi are/were awesome. I had a space shuttle with opening doors as a kid, and a couple other pieces. Put Matchbox and Hot Wheels (ugh) to shame, doubly so since I was into things more than just automotive.

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    Well, there's a bold move. Interesting intellectual property. But I hold they aren't counting on nostalgia. I'm old and I barely remember Space 1999 -- and I'm probably the closest to a nostalgia target audience you'll get with a pulse.

    OOTS 1305: Termination Claws

    Statler and Waldorf are Merry & Pippin? Beaker is Aragorn? Miss Piggy is Gimli?

    Furry Lord of the Rings

    Oh, I'm sure Disney would just copy/paste from Robin Hood. I figured the community here would be more original.

    Furry Lord of the Rings

    Is Saruman a fox? Or a weasel? I was thinking Gimli might make a great badger, but then I can't quite imagine the 13 dwarves of the Hobbit as a party of badgers.
