I get with what you are saying and agree this is a dumpster fire (it was ever since AT&T purchased Warner Bros in my book). Maybe I am cynical, but all modern mergers are parasitical in my view. Take AT&T's purchase of Warner as an example. AT&T promised the government lower prices if the merger...

The question, as phrased, seems problematic so I voted no. Focusing solely on optimizing your own character can lead to the breakdown of cooperative gameplay (which RPGs are).

Because this is modern America, do we ever NOT approve a merger anymore?

The thing is, whether it's taxes, poor reactions at screenings, a business model shift or a command by alien overlords it's all speculation since the company is remaining quiet. Unless Warner Bros Discovery (or whatever the name of the new company is) actually gives statement we will never know.

I was very surprised to see that HBO Max may be exiting scripted content. I don't have it but everything I hear is that it puts out good stuff. I guess just putting that investment into HBO is a way around that but then how do they justify the cost of HBO Max? Does the price drop? Does it become...

I have to disagree. Crappy movies get released all of the time and the studios can't be blind to how bad they are and that they won't make a profit. From what I've been reading Batgirl has the largest or one of the largest financial investments (90 million dollars or more) to not be released, it...

While If the poor reviews are truly part of the reason, and considering the company's silence on this we will never know, test screenings are common to gauge audience reactions and will frequently prompt reshoots/rewrites and further test screenings. This means, for better or for worse...

One character dead by cultists

The original Star Wars trilogy, the Star Trek Movies, The Princess Bride, Excalibur, Time Bandits, Dark City, The Matrix, Glory, Raiders of the Lost Ark and A Christmas Story. Edited to add: Now that I have been looking closer at other people's lists there are a bunch of other movies that I...

I was really bizarre; his mic just went dead while we were playing and then we all read he was missing on the news the next day......

My favorite is Everyone is John. It always ends being so funny, mostly because John is just incompetent at most things and the players get to do things they would never do in a traditional RPG.

One player kidnapped by cultists East Texas University

As a fellow member of Gen X I feel you. I stopped feeling the D&D love with 4E. I played 3.x/Pathfinder until I got burnt out, right about when Pathfinder 2E came out (even then I still play Pathfinder 1E, I just don't DM anymore). I've never played 4E and played only in one session of 5E. I...

See, now I feel like you need to start a thread where people can list the stupid things they like.

S: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One A: Mandalorian, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, Clone Wars, Rebels B: Obi-Wan, The Last Jedi C: Revenge of the Sith, The Book of Boba Fett, Solo D: Rise of Skywalker, Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones I haven't watched the Bad Batch...

I think aco175 got skipped- "Gladiator" To avoid anyone getting skipped again I won't put up a quote, just remember Ryujin's was next

I thought this was an odd bit of storytelling. It makes me wonder if part of that story was left on the cutting room floor.

Jack Burton from "Big Trouble in Little China" “There’s nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?”

The Thing? I didn't think we got the Fantastic Four yet ;)

While there are certainly other worthwhile things to spend our money on it's not a situation where we can't spend money on other things and NASA. NASA is actually an excellent way to spend our tax dollars, it's one of the few government agencies to actually provide a return on our tax dollar...
