Zack Snyder on his R-Rated Rebel Moon Director's Cut: "It’s not an ‘extended cut’ of this movie. It’s almost like a different movie." God I hope so.

Also minions are only ever minions compared to the players. Something that would have been a normal monster when they encountered it at 3rd level, could be a minion when they encounter it at 6th. If the players aren't fighting them it doesn't really matter what they are. Of course they are fine...

That's pretty much true of any RPG where chance is involved until the dice are rolled you don't know what you achieve, I'm not sure what you are saying is an aspect of 4E here. The mechanics just say the target is knocked prone, the flavour text in 4E is just one example of how that can occur...

I can't understand why Snyder keeps getting money he isn't a good director.

Anthony Hopkins as the robot was the best thing in it and I would have prefered to see much more of him, than any of the other recruits.

I remember playing 4E when they were battling on a bridge, in which the fighter used a power that was originally described as a "leg sweep", to cut the wings off a gargoyle and sending it plummeting to its death, as the mechanics were to make it prone. We had great fun adjusting the description...

I don't think I have ever met or even heard of someone objecting to a vault being locked, as being shut down. That's a pretty logical thing for a vault to be. Now if they attempted to research who made the vault, what flaws it might have, the nature of the wall and the mechanism and you...

Not forgetting in early D&D Fighters got one attack per level against creatures with less than one hit dice. They were effectively minions that fighters could wade through.

Ah so what you're saying is that 4E was actually a better implementation of Gray Gygax's vision for D&D. Always suspected as much.

These ones are harder to find (I don't have all of them), but are worth looking at (just maybe not £680+ worth looking at). 11. Leverage - because I hate you and want to search over inflated e-bay auctions, you can currently get it used on Amazon for £685.98. 12. Smallville - because you...

No particular order... every RPG collection should have 1. Pendragon 2. Some version of Traveller (although 2300 is better IMHO). 3. Some version of the cyberpunk genre. 4. Call of Cthulhu any edition but ideally 6th Edition 5. A Solo RPG, Ironsworn, Starforged or Star Trek Captains log for...

Into the Motherland - No official date but last update says out next year. Pendragon 6E - It wouldn't be a most anticipated list without Pendragon 6E.

The much delayed Into the Motherland is supposedly due out next year (originally for Sept 22), be interesting to see how it turns out after they decided not to use the Cortex system and go their own way, lost their publisher, then Green Ronin stepped in. Still as of October this year (last...

Christmas layoffs seem a common thing in the US, I guess it is something to do with the tax year rather than just to be spiteful.

At that point I would say the discourse has gone beyond civil, but normally (at least on this site) you shouldn't need to block as the moderators do a pretty good job of keeping things civil here, and most of the community follow "Granma's rules" anyway. I don't think it is usually a question...

Only people on my ignore lists are the occasion spammers that get through. So I don't really think to much about it. I've ended up on some peoples list, and they have enabled that feature, then oddly continued to respond to stuff I've said, so it looks like they "win". If someone is being civil...

I will say I find the more the game moves from Theatre of the Mind, to sketch on a battlemat, to Dwarven Forge 3D scenery, the less likely the players are to embellish details. You describe a room as say "a 15ft by 20ft kitchen", if it is just Theatre of the Mind, they might jump up on the...

I'm with you. I did initially like full series drops, but if there is a community watching it, then weekly spreads out the enjoyment of the shared experience. With a full series drop, I can't necessarily speak with people that are also watching it as they might not be at the same point as me...

I liked the series as a whole, I liked how it was filmed and the different characters in it, the issues it covered and the conclusion on the whole however I didn't like... I really liked the creepy "Know that you are loved." (and how that originated) catch phrase and will probably integrate...

It really isn't easier to do all that design work, maybe a little easier for the players, but usually it will be a lot more work to make a hack than use an existing system, and often you end up stuck with a lot of the tropes of D&D which don't suit all genres. Not sure it is that large a...
