I'm starting on the foundation series by Asimov. I'm starting with prelude to foundation before moving onto the trilogy. I've been loving the tv adaptation so finally getting around to reading the books. Actually, I'm also checking reading orders and the recommendation is to start with the...

I must be old, I still use CRPG as a term. I only sometimes use TTRPG if I absolutely need to define that I mean a table top game, most of the time I don't need to though.

Star Trek enterprise is one of my favourite trek shows. I think I liked that it was the start of earth's exploration of the stars.

For me, The Rise of Skywalker was underrated, I really quite enjoyed it after the last jedi which I felt was a let down. Last jedi still had some cool bits, but there were parts of the film that I felt could have been left out.

Like you, I've never managed to complete lord of the rings or the hobbit, Tolkein was such a boring writer. I've watched the movies, though not the hobbit trilogy (could not be arsed watching that as a trilogy).

I do something similar rather than defining actual numbers. On rare occasions it somewhat matters like when I ran a mass battle for my group, but actual demographic information I like to use a system taken from Matt Colville and define how likely you are to meet a certain race. He used the...

I guess I should have said actual numbers...

I can't do an actual demographic breakdown because I don't work with real numbers. Races that are dominant are: Human (original humanoid race) Genasi Dragonborn Giants and Giant-kin Elves Dwarves Beastmen (orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, ogres, gnolls) Secondary races are Gnomes Halflings Tiefling*...

I'm looking forward to the movie. If I was gonna run it as an rpg, I'd just use savage worlds, seems a good fit.

This has given me an idea for a fighter only feat, like a fighter version of spell mastery. Pick a number of weapons, any feat which applies to a single weapon additionally applies to all your chosen weapons. So weapon focus (shortbow) and weapon mastery (longsword, shortsword, mace) would apply...

Nothing is wrong with fantasy cowboys, I'm just saying that's what they look like. I've only had limited exposure to cowboys since I'm from NZ so it's entirely possible that there are others that these could appear to be like, but when I saw the pic Mexican was what I thought of.

This is the pic that I've seen. There may be others but this one really makes me think that the orcs shown are fantasy Mexican cowboys, they even have chaps. It's otherwise a good picture, I think the artist is pretty good.

An easier read than Shakespear for sure. Project Gutenberg has been great for some very old books that I otherwise wouldn't have read. I've read a few H.R. Haggard's Allan Quartermain books because of it. I'm glad I did, She was an amazingly good read.

Honestly, you're not the only one who got that vibe from the imagery.

How do people actually use orcs and drow, goblins and ogres, and other such races in their game? I'm personally not so keen on making orcs a standard player race in my games, in the campaign I ran a while back I specified none of these typically evil races because they were the baddies. I'm...

I loved the orcs in the volo's guide (I think it was that one), from memory there was one that exploded in a pile of goo and disease when it died.

I loved Mario, I watched the trailer and realised that the people complaining were just an "old man shouts at clouds" situation. I also loved the dnd movie, I had a bit more disposable income but if my brother took all his kids to even one of those movies he'd probably go bankrupt. I...

I do wonder if the DnD movie would have done better if released a month later so that it wasn't directly competing with Mario, I feel like people only have so much entertainment money to go around. Perhaps they'd checked online and saw the Negative Nellies talking trash about Mario and thought...

I'm sure someone will, especially if $15 million was gained during the ks. There is probably a good overlap of people that read Sanderson's books and RPG players. Is the game even out? From what I've seen, DnD might be shrinking but a lot of people are playing non-dnd rpgs, this might be one of...
