    What are you reading in 2025?

    There are a few books/authors that I've bounced off. I can't read Tolkien and I ended up putting down Foundation. Both sound exactly like what I should like, but I just can't get throigh them.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    The only one of his I can recall is the time machine (also one which I've not read), sounds like another author to add. Henry Rider Haggard was an entertaining author, I went through a few of his Allan Quartermain books a while back. The book "She" is one I would highly recommend if you haven't...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I don't think I've ever read any Jules Verne so in an effort to kickstart me getting back into reading I've started 20,000 leagues under the sea. I'm only around a quarter of the way in, but I'm really enjoying it. I've a few others of his works to read afterwards like the mysterious island and...

    Break Canon: New Adventures in Known Universes

    I think if I was going to break canon in the Star Wars, I wouldn't recast the main characters, I'd just say "The Rebellion lost, Yavin 4 was lost and the Death Star remains a threat to any who would think of fighting against the might of the Empire". I think running a star wars game where the...

    AN AI band has 900,000 monthly listeners

    Listening to one of their tracks now, it's actually decent, though not quite the sound of what I like to listen to. The lyrics don't seem completely non-sensical either (no worse than many actual musicians), not sure if the lyrics were programmed in or not. Definitely an interesting experiment.

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    I've rewatched the entirety of mash twice in the last few years. I also like to watch an occasional transformers G1 episode. Pretty sure I've also rewatched all of star trek in the last couple years (TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9) including all of the movies.

    D&D General How do devils actually get to the world from hell?

    I like to think they use public transport, but like, think of the city with the worst public transport you know, it's worse in hell. Devils trying to get to the prime plane to start possessing people but the train out of hell has broken down... again.

    Realistic Combat that's Simple(ish)

    I've been playing pirate borg and everything you have to roll for has a DC 12 (players also roll to defend) and armour is light, medium, heavy reducing damage by d2, d4, or d6. Heavier armours reduce your agility which I think is what you roll to defend (only played a few sessions, some things...

    D&D General More details on what to expect from the Player's Guide to the Forgotten Realms from Polygon, Massive Amount of Spells & Feats

    I was considering getting the new FR book, but over time I've realised I'm probably not going to get it in the end (maybe if I can pick it up at a discount). Because I'm not moving to 5.5 (and only rarely playing 5e nowadays) I just don't think that this is going to be useful for me. The lore...

    D&D General How Do I Help Mentor a GM Making Rookie Mistakes?

    I probably would push back a bit if my DM kept adding new houserules, particularly if they changed some of the basic assumptions of the game (like getting hit points when you level). I'm fine if it's discussed beforehand, maybe that's something you should ask, if there are going to be additional...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    I'm aware they haven't got it yet, it's the fact they're trying that I think is pretty wild.

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    I have and it hasn't changed my opinion. All I can see is that they're claiming goods that aren't theirs to sell and pay off their creditors.

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Yeah, who aren't the owners of the product. If it is being liquidated to compensate the creditors that they owe, then they are claiming it for themselves.

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Pretty wild that your company can go bankrupt and decide you can just claim all the stock in your warehouse which you haven't paid for.

    Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast Is The Origin Award Winning RPG Product

    Seaside sounds interesting, I'd also like to check out marvel united. My friends and I are keen to keep up board gaming after slacking a bit and it might be good to add another to the mix.

    Planescape Which Planescape faction do you most closely identify with?

    I think I'd be too idle for the Transcendent Order.

    Planescape Which Planescape faction do you most closely identify with?

    Maybe it's just imposter syndrome talking, but probably the Clueless.
