    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    Sure, but there were pretty much no-one else. Everyone else was just background filler. Compare to, for example, Thor Ragnarok where you in addition to Thor have Loki, Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum, the Hulk, Bruce Banner, Heimdall, Hela, Skurge, Doctor Strange, Odin, Krog, and probably some other...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    Thank you. I mostly made the assumption because she seemed to mostly act as a liaison between the FF and everyone else (like Mycroft Holmes). I wonder if she had a bigger role in some earlier version of the script because she was in the "big role" part of the credits before the mid-credits scene.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    That's a very good point. The only ones we really see them interacting with is their black PA/secretary and, for Ben, the cute lady who isn't Alicia Masters. I don't think we see Johnny "The Playboy" Storm interact at all with anyone outside of the family and the Surfer.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I thought the movie was fine, but not great (or fantastic). I can't really put my finger on what didn't really work for me. I think it might be that we get thrown into a situation where these are established characters, with a long list of mighty deeds including doing a world peace in four...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Come to think of it, Paizo has changed the way they do adventure paths to focus on 3-parters, with most but not all being level 1-10. My guess is that this is because it's often hard to keep a group together for the time it takes to hit level 20. I prefer having highly competent but not...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen one of the 5e devs (probably Mearls) discuss the way they planned out levels. Basically, levels 1 and 2 are tutorial levels. That's why they require so few XP, and why important class and sub-class features come online at various times from level 1 to 3. After that you...

    They might, but it will have a different specific name rather than a generic one.

    D&D General Requesting Advice on FR Pantheon

    Huh. I remember aspects of deities being a thing back in 3e, but with the power level inverted from your suggestion – basically, aspects being lesser forms of avatars, and usually having a challenge rating appropriate for when Sean Connery shows up at Wimbledon (10ish). You could eventually...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Highest level I've gotten to as a player is 13th I think, in a PF2 game using the Age of Ashes adventure path. That campaign got put on hiatus because one of the players got changed priorities. The game itself worked pretty well at that level though, and I finally got to use my "speak with...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    My understanding of Collective Shout is that they are primarily, for lack of a better term, shame-based. They know they don't have a legal leg to stand on, so their primary means of influence is to say "How dare you make money off of this filth!?" I think they have unsuccessfully tried to get...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Come to think of it, another reason the majority of campaigns end at early levels is that that gives you time to run more campaigns. A level 20 campaign is probably going to take like 2-3 years, and you'll easily have time to run 4 campaigns that end at level 7 in that time span.

    D&D General Requesting Advice on FR Pantheon

    Given how many gods FR has and how specialized they are, I think it would be hard to whittle them down to 20 or fewer. At that count, there's always going to be "but what about God X, they deserve to be in there too!" What I would suggest is categorizing them in some fashion, so instead of...

    It wouldn't. Here in Europe, you either get non-specific blue cheese (though here in Sweden, we usually differentiate between green and blue cheese in ways English apparently doesn't do) or get a different kind of named cheese, e.g. Danablu, Cambozola, or Stilton.

    They're not just based on place of origin – they're for specific types of cheese produced in those locations. So Parmesan doesn't refer to any cheese produced in Parma, but specifically to a particular type of hard cheese made from milk from cows fed exclusively on grass and made in a particular...

    John Kovalic Looks Back On Over Two Decades Of Munchkin

    The problem with mixing Munchkin sets is that things get diluted so it gets harder to get synergies. It's been a while since I played the game, but IIRC the original has a Sneaky Bastard Sword that only Thieves can use, and there are other cards that require other classes and/or races to use. If...

    Itch has apparently updated their creator FAQ with the following guidelines to things that are verboten: Some might think "good, I don't want any of that nasty business being sold." I'd like to point out that A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of books that have gotten some critical and...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    Generally speaking, I believe the people working at a company are better suited to making decisions about that company – at least when we're talking about a company with a multitude of institutional investors. A single owner or a small group of owners with a direct interest are a different...

    Internet Archive Is Now a Federal Library, Will Offer US Documents Online for Free

    I believe it refers to the federal government (as opposed to individual states). From a British perspective, this would concern things on the UK level as opposed to Scottish/English/Welsh/Northern Irish level or individual county levels. Though the analogy isn't perfect as I believe US states...

    RPG-style Board Games

    I don't know. I remember watching a Youtube review of Eldritch Horror where the reviewer complained about how random the game was and your choices not really having much impact. I think the reviewer missed the fact that while it's not totally deterministic, most types of tasks strongly lean...
