    Your Favorite "James Bond" author?

    I read through all of Fleming's Bond books and liked them. Then I read one Bond book but another author, I forget who, and really didn't like it. I never tried another Bond book since then.

    D&D 3.x 5E's Initial Raw Sales Numbers Stronger Than 3E's!

    It's not even the number one game book! I never knew Scrabble was still that popular. Unbroken is a great book I really enjoyed that one.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB is #3 right now on "Amazon's Hot New Releases"

    It's not even the number one game book! I never knew Scrabble was still that popular. Unbroken is a great book I really enjoyed that one.

    Are Asians not allowed in Superhero Movies?

    Isn't the character type of the old Asian who is just there to teach the white guy mystical Asian secrets a racist concept to begin with? So, is it better to leave a racist concept like that or get rid of it by replacing it with a white person? As to the comment of Hollywood being self aware of...

    Scifi/Fantasy/Horror for TV & Film

    That's how I would also describe the Gone series ;)

    Scifi/Fantasy/Horror for TV & Film

    Netflix has a show called Between that would be similar to that.

    Amazon: Prime Day or Online Garage Sale?

    I looked and saved a lot of money but not buying a thing! The twitter comments I've seen it though have been worth it.

    The laviathan: The hunt for Cthulhu's fishing worm

    Except each year we see movies and TV shows that can be described exactly like that.

    Movie trailers that spoiled the movie

    One of the Final Destination movies the trailer showed the final scene in the movie just before the credits.

    A Glaring Omission

    What evidence do you that shows he has "personal grudges" against OSR? I haven't gotten around to reading these books but I'm sure there are plenty of games and genres that don't get as much space in them as the fans would want. Have you written him directly or perhaps looked for an answer on...

    Do you remove your shoes in home?

    I do have a pair of sneakers by the door that I wear just for outside. I also tend to have a pair of crocs near the door to wear inside.

    Scifi/Fantasy/Horror for TV & Film

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1767354/ I happen on it on Netflix and watched it. I've only read a book or two of the series so I'm not sure just how far they stayed. Sure, but it would stand out. There are more of these types of shows now so might as well go for something a little more challenging.

    Scifi/Fantasy/Horror for TV & Film

    They did a movie of it. It wasn't that good. I think Simon's Green's Nightside series would be pretty good. I would love to see Mira Grant's Newsflesh become a series for a great and different take of the world post zombies.

    Real world campaigns: local, or anything but?

    No, he had done no prep on anything it was laziness on his part. All he had to do was spend some time walking around the place or just pay attention when he was there. It was not his first Origins he was part of a company that had run games there for years and still do. He went into the game...

    Jurassic World

    I went and saw it tonight. The theater was packed too the point that ushers where getting people to move to the center to make space for everyone. Honestly, I only ever see that on opening night to big release movies not for movies that have been out almost a month. It was good and I enjoyed it...

    Judgment and Rudeness About D&D Alive and Well

    I think that was actually Thomas Paine and while the meaning is correct I think the actual quote is different.

    Real world campaigns: local, or anything but?

    I like the idea of doing it local but when the GM gets the details wrong it makes them seem lazy and bad. I was in a zombie game a few years ago at Origins. The GM set it in the convention center the convention was at and couldn't even get those details right. Once we got out into Columbus he...

    D&D 5E (2014) Doing 5ed without classes.

    In the bright days of 3ed D&D there was a product made called Buy the Numbers that brilliantly made a classless version of D&D. It was ground breaking and sadly never got the praise it deserved. If I wanted classless 5e I would start with this product and just adapt it. All the heavy lifting is...

    Armada vs X-Wing, which is better?

    I'd say that article was written by someone who had not played Armada and was just presenting their own assumption.
