Because of the scale of the universe, I feel convinced that the probability of many inhabited planets must be close to 100%. And because of the scale of the universe, I feel the probability of any one intelligent species getting any form of contact with another is probably close to 0%. (Surely...

I have a list of Communists in the American government!

More like bullshitter.

Star Wars. At least, it was until 1998. And it was still really impressive until 2007-ish.

Is there any historic debates and controversy about games other than D&D? Do fans of other games care about any of that stuff?

Agency is when players have the ability to influence what's going to happen to their character. They might not get the exact outcomes they are hoping for, but the results will depend on their actions and choices, not on the GM's preset script for the adventure.

Alien is a strong contender. 2 great movies and who knows how much junk. Terminator too, but I think that one does not have as many movies and spin-offs as Alien.

They tried that in 3rd edition. It was called warlock.

As long as it's nothing original, you can get a couple hundred million dollars for any movie.

I want some kind of sales pitch that tells me why I might be interested in picking this game over any other game that's already out there. Simply stating that the game has all the things any other game already has doesn't catch my attention. Even when they are amazing, innovative...

I see a list of features that almost every game has plus marketing adjectives that mean nothing.

Well, Star Wars already has been for years. There's the classic universe, the Marvel comic universe, the Clone Wars retcon universe, and the Disney universe. All have very different timelines that only match for three movies. (Or maybe even just one movie?)

I could live with that. I effectively pretty much do live like that. The Jedi Knight games and KotOR are the only decent Star Wars things I remember from the last 25 years.
