If we are talking the 4th Age, or the Age of Man, I don't remember if Tolkien ever wrote what became of orcs, the way he did about elves, dwarves, and hobbits.

I think The One Ring RPG showed there can be plenty of new stories set in the 60+ years in between The Hobbit and LOTR. I would hope for movies set during this same time. And for stuff from that time in the books, you could have the failed attempt at retaking Moria, for one. And movies about a...

I have enjoyed watching them all and don't think any of the MCU movies are bad, especially when compared to the streaming pile that is the DC movies. Even too much Taika/Korg could not ruin Love and Thunder for me, but he came close.

My problem with settings where adults pretend to be teens is they can get away with being creepy about romancing other kids. That is such a red flag about the person in real life that I would stop being friends with them.

When it comes to the Potterverse stuff, it would be better if it was done like the adventures in the Fantastic Beasts movies, rather than being stuck in a school. And for the topic, I would like a Shrek RPG. Running around in that version of fairytaleland would be a lot of fun.

You could compare it to the hundreds and hundreds of hours of popular TV Westerns from the 50s-70s, yet Western RPGs are a niche of a niche. Where is the Gunsmoke or Bonanza RPG?

You also need to remember those charts likely do not include the all the copies sold directly through the Paizo store or their subscription model. Just the sales of the PDFs of their books in the early days of PF1 might have outdone sales of 4E. I remember back then, when PF1 games played at all...

I don't have to forgive them because I was waiting until all the hype and hysteria and misinformation and outright disinformation died down and we saw what the final decision and version from WotC would be. And now that it is settled, it looks fine to me. I still might not buy the 2024 edition...

Between the excellent work C7 did on AiME, when they had the Tolkein sub-license, and on Doctors & Daleks, this may be the winner for me. I only have the time, energy and money to mess with one system right now, so if not 1st party D&D, then this will be good. Now I just need to hear what the...

Sounds good to me.

Awesome Force Lightning raw sorcery energy battle. That armor is going to show up in so many D&D campaigns. Nice teaser at the end that two more seasons are planned.

Yes, if she is the real princess, she has been in the city for decades, but time also passes differently there, than in the rest of the world.

Now, for a plot question. Is the princess of Cashmere working with the Crone, under the Crone's mental control or actually possessed by the spirit of the Crone? Or did the Crone simply shapeshift into the appearance of the princess? The way the character is acted, it feels like she is the real...

Well, that was a lot of fun and yet another very D&D episode!

Yep, definitely. Or maybe it was just a stupid movie to begin with.

The dance scene with modern music was especially stupid.

I don't like A Knight's Tale specifically because the modern music did not fit and ruined it. Willow has been better about using it.

That is nice and all, but this is starting to feel like the jump from 3.0 to 3.5. They were supposed to be backward-compatible also, but as soon as 3.5 was out, sales started to tank for anything 3.0 from 3PPs. That will happen again when the revised rules tied to the new OGL come out in 2024...

Wow, there are quite a few panicky, misinformed comments about this on Twitter. Some of them even border on intentional disinformation. Now, considering that Ray Winninger, before leaving, had talked about WotC working on two brand-new settings still to come out, assuming nothing happens to can...

Of all the choices here, if 1D&D is either getting rid of the half-races or making them very rare, then species works best. After all, in the real world, lions and tigers are different species and can interbreed, and the same with horses and donkeys. So humans and elves or humans and orcs can be...
