Eberron: Forge of the Artificer. It was supposed to come out last month, but a production error has delayed it to December. It’s designed to complement Rising from the Last War, not replace it, by updating dragonmarks, the artificer, Eberron species and such to the revised rules and providing...

The thing that irks me the most about the SE changes to IV are the CGI elements that are very obviously pasted onto the film. That and stuff like Greedo shooting first (and Han’s head moving unnaturally to “dodge” the blaster bolt) and the scene with Jabba where Han “steps on” Jabba’s tail...

I feel you! I really do. If I ever get the chance to run Curse of Strahd again, I intend to either ban all races with darkvision or make it so their darkvision is severely limited. That being said, I have found that the 5e rules around light still work fairly well. Darkvision turns darkness...

I didn’t like the idea of Eberron when it was new. I didn’t want robots and trains and magic guns in my medievalesque fantasy! But it has grown on me to the point that a) I am running an ongoing campaign set in Eberron now and b) I am fearful WotC is going to “ruin” the setting by modernizing...

OK so years ago, when 5e was still new, I was playing in a game where the DM gave us a magic item that was essentially a bag of Scrabble tiles. A spellcaster could draw a tile and then change one letter in the name of a spell using that letter. We were high level by that point, and the mage...

I’m not even familiar with Enemy Mine! I’d never heard of it before this thread.

OK, so that moon was mostly likely a 3D CGI set. And I guess it had a breathable atmosphere because the Metrons gave it one.

I liked SWSE's talent trees and feats approach. I had been hoping D&D 4e would go the same route. That's probably what I would do if I was writing 6e.

As someone who hasn't watched much of TOS, the derivativeness (derivations?) go over my head, so your #3 isn't an issue for me. However, as I've said before, I really am with you on the budget. I mean, you could really tell even just in the sparseness of the barren rock world set. I'm guessing...

Yes. IIRC GL's argument was that's how Anakin sees himself - as the young man he was before he got put in the suit. But I still think it was an unnecessary change. And I'm sure Anakin gets to have a Force ghost because he's the "Chosen One" and so didn't have to learn how to do it, but I still...

Cool. I've only read a handful of Star Wars novels over the years. The RotS novelization is the only one I own. (The rest I borrowed from the library.)

All this talk of HOAs puts me in mind of that X-Files episode where Mulder and Scully have to go undercover as a married couple to investigate a housing development that was built on top of a trash heap, and it turns out the HOA is using a trash monster to kill homeowners who go against their...

Is that in the RotJ novel?

Yeah. For the record, I tried to spell it "Chekov" but I see that my phone auto-corrected it to "Chekhov". 😣

I’m fine with it too. I like Paul Wesley’s take on young Kirk. I actually wouldn’t mind if they did a young Kirk spin-off after SNW ends. As someone who has tried and failed to watch TOS, I wouldn’t even mind if they “rebooted” it with the current crop of actors. At this point, we’re only...

It does indeed! It’s not a 1:1 translation of the film, thats for sure. But the author insists GL read the book and gave him his blessing. I like it a lot better than the Ep 1 and Ep 2 novels. Haven’t ever read the OG novels. The Ep 2 novel, written by none other than RA Salvatore, is absolute...

Nice. Thanks for sharing. One thing I find interesting is his omission of GL’s swapping out of middle-aged Anakin’s Force ghost for young Anakin’s Force ghost at the end of RotJ. That’s evidence that GL views Anakin and Vader as different people. (And yet Vader telling Luke that he is his...
