    Streaming Service Part 2: November Rankings

    The UK and Ireland will still get it on BBC, but for everywhere else in the world, it will be moving to Disney Plus in 2023 for all new productions. No word yet if older seasons will also be moved there.

    Streaming Service Part 2: November Rankings

    That is the thing with the large choice on D+. You love Star Wars and hate the current Marvel stuff. Others love Marvel and hate Star Wars. I have enjoyed all the MCU series more than Andor, though Andor is still alright, and Boba Fett was only saved by Mando. Then there are others want it for...

    Star Wars: Andor

    We are getting 2 12-episode seasons. That may have originally been planned as 3 8-episode or 4 6-episode seasons. And like you, I never read anywhere that 5 seasons was the confirmed number, just that the series covers the 5 years leading up to Rogue One, so maybe some people are confusing the two.

    Update: The Union was Recognized! Noble Knight Games employees Unionize.

    Ah, they are in Wisconsin, and the way the election went yesterday for the state, I can see the anti-union vibes from all this.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Monty Python, Paranoia, M&M and More

    Now, for the Monty Python kickstarter, I just got the latest backer email today and they have added bonus stuff for all the way up to a total of $2.5 million in pledges, with a final bonus, if all goals are hit, of a set of coconut half-shell dice cups. Not made of real coconut, of course. ;)...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Monty Python, Paranoia, M&M and More

    Or people want to play in a licensed superhero world and have been trying out the Marvel Multiverse RPG playtest and are waiting for the full core book release next year, rather than bothering with any existing supers game. I know I am.

    Update: The Union was Recognized! Noble Knight Games employees Unionize.

    I live in a state that is "Right to Work" and has "At Will" labor laws, so no notice or reason needed to fire someone, as long as those few federal laws are not violated, and can't be forced to join a Union to practice certain professions or trades. So employees in jobs that do have Union...

    Streaming Service Part 2: November Rankings

    I subscribed to D+ before it launched because they were offering a special 3-year deal to D23 members. That runs out this month. Last Cyber Monday, Hulu offered a special deal to new subscribers of 99 cents/month for 12 months. That runs out this month too. So now it is time to look at the...

    Rings of Power -- all opinions and spoilers welcome thread.

    Yes, the travel thing was annoying, along with all sorts of other stuff. I have now watched all of the first season and it pretty much lived up, and down, to what I expected from it. This series seems to be made for non-readers, as in if you have only watched the movies, you will be good with...

    Update: The Union was Recognized! Noble Knight Games employees Unionize.

    When talking about the US and Unions, you also have to remember there is not a blanket federal law, like in other countries. Each state has it's own laws for Unions. So while a company like Kroger, and subsidiaries, are nationwide, and the Union is represented in all locations, support and...

    Rings of Power -- all opinions and spoilers welcome thread.

    I don't know why everyone is saying 3 ships, because those 2 destroyed ships were replaced, so it was still 5 ships that sailed out. I am pretty sure this is in the dialogue of the episode where they depart. Plus, watch that scene again and you see three lead ships being followed out of the...

    Star Wars: Andor

    So this new interrogation method is so perfect at getting information that they somehow decide to abandon it and go with those interrogation droids in the movies?

    Update: The Union was Recognized! Noble Knight Games employees Unionize.

    If the employees at a small business like that feel the need to have a Union, then things must be pretty crappy behind the scenes, no matter how nice it may seem to the customer.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    And half-orcs can pass as big, ugly humans, according to older editions of the game. so if orcs don't exist on Krynn, there is not even a name to give to that half-orc other than "ugly human".

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    Yep, because as common and uninteresting as orcs have become, if a game needs them to "make it more fun", then it must be a very bland game to start with, and there a lot of other niche and underused creatures that can replace them. Note: this is from the point of view of someone in the hobby...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    Well, they are and aren't. The smaller creatures running around in Moria are generally called goblins, and then the larger ones hunting the Fellowship, the ones that kill Boromir, are generally called orcs, and then the even bigger and smarter ones are the man-orcs, or Uruk-Hai, created by Saruman.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    I don't remember this much fuss when WotC published Mythic Odysseys of Theros, which definitely restricts which creatures/PC races exist in the setting.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    Eh, when it comes to fantasy games, I never play human PCs. I am one in real life, so why the heck would I play a fantasy one?
