Star Wars: You'll never be as cool as Han Solo, so why bother. Star Wars: Playing as a Wookie is fun! (For about 1/2 a session)

5E: When you want to play D&D but in a softplay area. Shadowrun: When you aren't cool enough to play a real Cyberpunk game. Call of Cthulhu: Just ignore the racism.

Favourite campaign setting is the "Real World" but with something different (be it Magic, Vampires, Mythos creatures, Magical Martial Arts or whatever) doesn't really matter what. 2nd favourite - A sci-fi setting that doesn't include space magic as a major theme. Fantasy D&D wise - Birthright...

Is this really a superhero movie problem or a more general movie problem? Loads of people invested in improving home entertainment systems during the lockdowns. I also wonder how much Disney+ hampers Marvel doing so well at the cinema? If you moderate are a Marvel fan, there is a reasonable...

There seems a number of issues with that... a) It's a awful lot of work to test your theory, and even if you could get all your ducks in a row, persuade or force one of these gods into a Zone of Truth, they answer the question, then carry out further divination tests, it would only tell you for...

Yeah it could well have been handled completely differently on a stream, or a home game.

Personally my view even in a setting where "Gods are canonically real and make their presence known in unambiguous ways." there is nothing to prove gods are anything other than just slightly more powerful entities.

Again just unfairly penalises the martial player by making them just through an extra hoop.

No but, why should she need to, players don't have to explain how magic works.

I don't think it was necessarily a doomed venture, if she could of come up with some reason to stop it that made some sense within the fiction, rather than just the rules, I think he would have allowed it. But that does penalise unimaginative players.

Yeah if you are going to do that then you need to do the same for magic users.

It's a DC Superhero movie not about Batman, with a star that has allegations about grooming minors of course is going to bomb. It managed $267 mil worldwide. Blue Beetle did even worse $121.5 million worldwide. I don't know exactly why but DC superhero movies don't tend to get the same audience...

Yeah they fixed the Cleric in 2nd Edition with Skills and Powers made them much more interesting and varied. Would love to see something similar for 5th.

Which was my point about it having to be a wheelchair and not something too fanciful, otherwise it isn't really representation. It's why they introduced a chair option in Cyberpunk Red, despite the fact cybernetic limbs were invented in the game specifically to remove disabilities. It's not...

I think the issue is for some folks the chair itself is part how they see themselves so if you go magical like, a hover/spider chair then it isn't how they see themselves represented. Personally I find the idea of self insert characters weird anyway. The reason I roleplay is to play someone...

I have the VHS... lol would have to find a player somewhere to watch it.

I think there are some really good series that only got one season in the UK (which is usually six or so episodes). Some you might be able to find streaming, I'm listing ones that are good inspiration for RPGs. Some examples Ultraviolet (1998) - Cop discovered a government backed vampire...

Yeah but elves are skinny humans with pointy ears.

Who spends most of his time in a school, or paved areas until he gets his flying chair. Which stops being a wheelchair and becomes a levitation device which isn't generally accepted as representation of a wheelchair, more a magic fix. But some folks might be okay with it. Oooh disability being...
