    Captain America: Civil War (spoilers)

    I took my 10 year old to see it and it was on the cusp of what he'd be happy to see - that said he is a big Cap fan and thoroughly enjoyed it. I probably wouldn't have taken him if he was younger.

    Your favourite Trek?

    We played exactly the same time period and with FASA! If I had the chance again, would probably do the same ��

    Captain America: Civil War (spoilers)

    Just watched this film and it has definitely confirmed that the screen version of Captain America is my favourite superhero in the portrayal of any comic book characters. The nuanced portrayal by Chris Evans is just perfect. While the film strives at great lengths to justify Tony Stark's...

    Batman v Superman (open spoiler thread)

    Saw it today and thought it was OK. As predominantly a Batman fan, I thought Affleck did a great job. Only the late reveal that he'd been guided/manipulated by Luthor felt like wrong footing ... That said, completely agree that Doomsday was surperfluous as was the Lois near death by drowning ...

    Class that makes up its spells on the fly

    I think the Mage in Monte Cook's d20 World of Darkness made spells up rather than choosing from a spell list

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    I think we were hoping for similar things Water Bob - sadly this isn't going to happen. As I have most (if not all) of the Mongoose supplements I'm not sure what (if anything) the Modiphus version would have to offer??? I imagine it'll boil down to just the adventures . . . That said, as I...

    Redemption, the Force, and Morality [No Ep 7 Spoilers]

    From what I remember, in EPIII, Yoda tells Obi-Wan that he will teach him how to commune with Qui-Gon in his exile ...

    Star Trek: Beyond (trailer)

    Well I thought the first film was OK and could accept it as Star Trek for the generation after mine ... Really felt uncomfortable with the second one (how many times do you have to rely on "old" Spock to bail you out?) and the trailer for this one has left me cold. I may go and see it but there...

    Redemption, the Force, and Morality [No Ep 7 Spoilers]

    In a previous thread someone mentioned that the Force was "neutral" and that there was no Lightside but what we call that is just the Force and the Darkside is just a corruption of the Force. Hmm ... In the prequels Palpatine talks to Anakin about how the Jedi have only a limited understanding...

    Redemption, the Force, and Morality [No Ep 7 Spoilers]

    For me there's a clear difference in my perception of morality and the Force. In episodes IV to VI, the dark side is presented as evil and the other side (I don't remember it ever being referred to as the Light side) as good. On reflection, this may just be a consequence of Luke being good and...

    Windows 10 - Convince me.

    I went from Window 7 to Windows 8 (and 8.1) and then back to Windows 7. That said, I am a sucker for the "new and shiny" so have upgrade to Windows 10. It is new and shiny and ... fractionally quicker but other than new and shiny icons I'd be hard pressed to tell a difference between Windows 10...

    Big Trouble in Little China....being re-made....ARRRRRRRRR

    When I first heard about the BTiLC remake I thought nooooooooooooooooo! When I heard who was in it I thought nooooooooooooooooo! When I read the Empire article I thought nooooooooooooooooo! So in short my considered opinion is nooooooooooooooooo!

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    Modiphius has a history of producing products with dual statistics. Achtung Cthulhu has CoC and SW. There's an outside chance they may go D&D 5E as well as their own 2d20 system. I may just be getting old but I'm not sure I can cope with learning yet another game system!

    D&D 5E (2014) Scorching hot dice

    Once had a player in 1E who rolled up his character (3d6, arrange as you like) and got three 18s. Not nine 6s in a row but it was still impressive. I forget the other scores but they were all in the 10-14 range. He went on to play a paladin . . .

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG - prepare the hot pokers for Amazon!

    I gave up on Amazon UK for the DMG (and for the Firefly RPG come to think of it). I usually buy online from IGUK but had to get a refund when it became clear they had no stock (their website said they did when I ordered). So I bought mine from Games Lore yesterday and it arrived today :)

    Doctor Who s8e10 - "Dark Water" [spoilers]

    Enjoyed the episode - particularly how the Doctor stated in no uncertain terms his feelings about Clara. The reveal about Missy was a bit anticlimactic but only because I'd convinced myself it was Romana and was expecting some additional back story of a disagreement between the two during the...

    What's your #1 book that you think every tabletop gamer should read? And why?

    I'd have to add Legend by David Gemmell but really any of his novels would qualify for a mention.
