    D&D General My thoughts on The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons and a Query...

    I have. Originally whoever was making S&W didn't know what they were doing (made it closer to BX than OD&D). I remember viewing an early copy and writing a message to them that OD&D was NOT BECMI or BX. Now, though they have something closer to it now, it still is probably closer to BX in...

    D&D General My thoughts on The Making of Original Dungeons and Dragons and a Query...

    So, I finally got through this massive tome. I originally decided to get it when I heard that they would have the complete reprints of the Original Books plus supplements (note: They don't, though they do have most of it). As I occasionally run OD&D (fewer and farther between these days) I...

    What are you reading in 2024?

    So, decades ago Asimov wrote a series of novels under an assumed name. Getting a hold of them today is not that easy. Originally they were written under a pseudonym but later printings added Asimov's name to the cover. Even those printings are hard to get sometimes. I just finished the first...

    Trailer Snow White

    Well, if we follow tradition, Kristen Stewart was definitely fairer (at least at the time) than Theron. Fair may be considered beautiful to some, but not necessarily. Skin as white as Snow would be more apt for Stewart at the time than Theron (which is why the tale is Snow White in the first...

    Fallout London

    So, I just picked up my free copy but haven't installed it yet. I understand that it overwrites your FO4 installation. So, if you decide you don't like it is the only option then to delete and uninstall and then reinstall FO4?

    Trailer Creature Commandos - James Gunns latest DC product

    Errr...No. If this is what Gunn has in store for DC... Well...there are many who thought it couldn't get any worse than what it was before... They may have been wrong. OR...maybe there will be a whole slew of new people to watch these shows...but...for me...probably not. This trailer does...

    Trailer Snow White

    Hmm, I've watched Cinderella (wife loves it, it's...okay), Aladdin (this is probably the only live remake I enjoyed), and Maleficent (which was passable). The others really...haven't been all that...great. They haven't really caught my fancy. I think this one may also follow that trend.

    Trailer KRAVEN - New Trailer (HD)

    They should do one without spiderman about the Hobgoblin. There's enough meat to chew on that one with struggles over the costume, struggles of who is the real hobgoblin, and enough political intrigue between the Hobgoblins, Jack O'Lantern, the Rose, and the Kingpin to fuel at least a small...

    Paizo How to Get Started with Pathfinder

    Late to the Party here...yay! I'd have probably gone with one of Paizo's free RPG day offerings, or pay like the money to get a copy of one of them. They are generally cheaper than the core books or starter sets, have premade characters and sometimes short instructions on how to play come with...

    Are our tastes set?

    If I could ONLY play one version of D&D, I'd play... My version of D&D...or a hybrid version between 1e and 2e. Mostly, it's 1e, but it has some things from 2e such as the THAC0 table (so much easier for me to remember on the fly than the ToHit tables). 2e initiative...and other such things...

    NOSFERATU

    This has the look of how a HORROR movie SHOULD be. Not many like this these days. I hope the trailer reflects how the movie actually will be like.

    So I got a PS5...

    Many of my favorite games on the PS5 are actually from the PS4 era, and that really doesn't highlight why one would get a PS5... Among those PS4 games would be Uncharted Legacy Uncharted 4 Mass Effect Legendary edition Spiderman Specifically for the PS5, games you may be interested in... The...

    Understanding the In Terrorem Effect of Litigation

    It's somewhat hard to tell when you are joking or not. Your jokes, mixed in with serious items (I think you are being serious in this thread in the post...for the most part...but things like this make me think...not so sure [with quizzical face], maybe?). Pro Bono - For Good - For Public Good...

    Fighting Fantasy board game.

    I always liked Fighting Fantasy. I have the original series, plus the additional series released later (at least 2 of them), plus the new ones they've released more recently (Port of Peril, Assassins of Allansia, etc). I have the Fighting Fantasy RPG and the Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG. I...

    Economic Board Games?

    On economics, this is one that is excellent for it. It's a simpler game to learn, but has great depth in how it operates. It's a timeless classic (well, it's been around for a long time at least, not quite as long as Monopoly, but still over 50 years..actually I think over 60 years?? at this...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Monster Manual Cover

    Well...I found that Redgar (poor guy) in the Gelatinous Cube has a thumb that is pointing down... Also...the Nothic on the Back looks like it's thumb is pointing down... Hence...two thumbs down...right... And they can't help that they are so sad about Redgar that they're throwing up. I guess...

    Trailer Alien: Romulus | Official Trailer

    So there is Alien Aliens Alien 3 Alien Resurrection Prometheus (is this really an Alien movie?) Alien Covenant That makes 6? And then there is Alien vs Predator (actually, not bad, but then I also like Alien Resurrection, only true alien movie I really did not like was Alien 3) and...

    Moana 2 | Teaser Trailer

    Looks like it is about uniting all the tribes/peoples across the islands, at least that's what the trailer hints at.

    Paizo Pathfinder Quest

    Perhaps the thing I'm most excited about from the news coming out from Paizocon. The implication with it's name seems to indicate that it may be stylized after Warhammer Quest (but Pathfinder instead of Warhammer). I was a BIG WQ fan in the past. If it is anything like WQ...I'm all in on...
