Maybe Snoke is the last Jedi.

I just started Old Man's War by John Scalzi. It is mention so often as a great sci-fi novel, that I have to see what al the fuss is about for myself.

I wasn't disappointed by the hyperbolic thread title.

The paradox of the current gaming industry. WotC has core books with new rules, but it doesn't produce new material. Paizo's core books aren't original, but it produces new content.

I'm half way through Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. It is set in the same universe as Neptune's Brood, even if they are both stand alone novels. I'm enjoying it, but it isn't the best Stross novel I've read. Next I'm not sure if I want to read Old Man's War by Scalzi, Red Mars by...

To like them, you need to buy them and play them. If CoS didn't interest you, well, there are other adventures to old you off until the next yearly AP. And if the APs aren't good enough, well make one. Most players do not buy APs. Source and splat would rise sales. This is WotC we are talking...

3 products a year ain't necessarely bad. Its more problematc that 2 of the 3 are APs. Produce one AP a year and people will actually have time to play them. A source/setting book, a splatbook and an AP a year, all more or less related, would more interesting. And no need to make the all 50$...

I'm starting Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. It is set in the same universe as Neptune's Brood, but both stories are unrelated. NB was awesome hard sci-fi and SC got some great reviews and was nominated for the Hugo and Locus awards. Apparently, Stross wrote masterfully from the point of a...

Carrie Fisher died this morning. There are 4 days left, 2016. What other surprise do you have left for us?

Well that film was boring. Not terrible, but not good either. The motivational speeches were a real drag though. No one would be talking about this film if it weren't for the Star Wars logo. The troubling part is that these kinds of war films really promote suicide missions. ISIS will show...

Look at SCAG and SKT. The reviews are saying the books are too scattered and do not focus enough on one aspect. It is a bad strategy

The FR was always super popular. In the 90s it helped TSR survice and print other worlds.

With splat they ge two thirds and they can be bought more than once by interested players. APs are bought once by DMs.

Why we won't see many campaign setting books and non-FR adventures. Why we keep seeing more APs than a some slaptbook baffles me.

The Scar and Iron Council aren't the same quality as Perdido Street Station. Read them if you're a completionist, but I felt they didn't have the same impact as the first. Characters were stale and plots were muddled. You do not learn much about Bas-Lag in them. Embassytown is Miéville's best...

The internet. It also tells us that Reptilians are among us.

Not surprising considering there is the time Infinity Stone in the film.

Saw it with my girlfriend. We both agree the actors where great and the special effects where awesome. Probably one of the rare films worth paying for the extra IMAX 3D Dumbledore Turbo experience. It introduces magic to the MCU with fluidity and simplicity. I can't say it is gonna be a super...

I know. But you know, she took a punch from Doomsday. Doomsday's punch > bullet and she didn't block it with bracelets. But maybe that is too much nerd nitpicking.

Maybe in the comics, but we do not know much about the movie version of WW. Amazons might be aliens for all we know.
