Well, OK then, heavily emphasizing more than noting. I'm not sure there's a bigger or more shocking blow than having made a major distribution deal that will enable getting into the big stores... and then having those stores drop the product a couple years later due to social backlash.

It's worth noting that some of the big store chains that had started stocking D&D stopped, almost certainly as a result of the Satanic Panic controversy. That narrowed D&D's reach into broader markets.

Steep Drift - Difficulty 3 maneuver.

It's simple. Follow along with this ironclad proof. Frogs play banjos (cite: Kermit the Frog) You cannot be sad or depressed or otherwise unhappy when playing a banjo. (cite: Steve Martin) QED

My wife knew it was the finale coming up, I looked and saw nine episodes in season one and thought "nah, can't be the finale already". So I think some people are going to be caught by surprise, but then, it's streaming so watching on release date isn't as important as old broadcast TV anyway...

I'm kind of struggling with what constituted "the community" Gygax exploded. If you're talking the RPG community - that didn't really exist before D&D - there were separate wargamer and sci-fi/fantasy communities that had member that were attracted to D&D and formed a D&D/RPG community. D&D...

I think you mean The Hidden Fortress. Throne of Blood is Macbeth.

I'm not sure there's any PR that redeems working with Nazis for a hobby market.

It's a wide-spread phenomenon outside of hobby gaming as well. You get fans complaining about artists "selling out" by making good money when "it should all be just about the art, man. <bong hit>" I mean, who needs to make a living, amiright? That said, Gary could sure whip up his scorn for the...

I'm not so sure it's all that different from the novellas. I think it's emphasizing the SecUnit's inner monologue more than the action and, I suspect, while reading we tended to emphasize the action over the monologue. And that gives us a different impression. But having read further into the...

Most of the other deaths we’ve seen have been in the presence of a cleric who can cast either revivify or raise dead. Mollymauk died with nobody able to do either. They had to leave him.

It's episode 26 of campaign 2.

Well, she took on a status for her character that went a bit beyond what the rules of the game required. But that wasn't the only thing going wrong. It was a long session at nearly 5 hours and players at the table were not at their most coordinated best - particularly not compared to a later...

If you're not playing in the same campaign, what's the hang up? You've both lifted the name from a literary source. The fact that he did it first means I think you should probably defer to his opportunity to play the character when you're in the same campaign at the same time, but outside of...

Unless it's Bledsaw being the dishonest one. At this point, it's hard to tell without watching what people actually do.

My guess is that had a lot more to do with budget than rights. Some of the line art, particularly the image of Bond holding off a man wielding a 4-tined hook, are direct renderings of movie images (in this case a fight scene from On Her Majesty's Secret Service). The James Bond 007 game spent a...

If the products of childbirth, cloning, and manufacture are all sentient, why should the process matter? It seems to me like you're positing some kind of inherent hierarchy between the different methods because of, what, raw material?

How about the clones created on Kamino? They were "manufactured" but also definitely counted as life since they were, pretty much, just modified humans born, raised, and educated via a manufacturing process. Definitely as sentient as any other humans. Were they slaves? If no, why not? If yes...

I think I might avoid any argument about slavery that goes down that particular line. There's little difference between what someone is "made to do" and "born to do" when people are born into slavery.
