It's Hollywood. It could just as well be unsound decisions. And the nixing of it over the board game is just one possible reason, and a very reasonable one.

So far the only unlikeable character I've found is the proto-Gandalf. And I'm rooting for Sauron too, which is actually the point of good character development, particularly with your adversary.

It's echoes of 3.5 actually, with such things as those gems you could attach to your sword. My archer was a bedazzled mess.

I'm enjoying the story quite a bit, in exactly the way that prequels satisfy my itch for more materiel then was originally presented. 100% incorrect. Joe wasn't producing a faithful adaptation of Dragonlance, but was producing a story of unmined gold (his words) that the original authors...

Many many moons ago (1987 -1988 to be more exact) while at college I was introduced to a group in the small town where my college was (Wooster, OH to be exact). It wasn't an RPG based on Dragonriders of Pern, but more of shared universe of fanfic, with shared continuities amongst the chapters...

DC and Marvel do not focus on one-offs, except maybe in the realm of animated movies, which rarely come with sequels (with a few notable exceptions).

Additional comments after watching the video: Tracy and Margaret were all about it - given the kerfuffle that occurred with the authors in the recent past, I would see them wanting to avoid any future kerfuffles. I'm writing for my old boss Michael Lombardo (?) at HBO and the team at eOne - I...

You might be interested in my post on my blog, where I start an outline of the elements of P-A play and settings. https://tabulasordida.blogspot.com/2023/12/post-apocalyptic-rpg-systems.html In regards to space travel - the Lost Colony trope has space travel in the background, but the ability...

My Little Pony is on the Hasbro website's banner! I could make some jokes about Manganiello role in Magic Mike and ponies, but I won't.

I've said before that they may look at the sales and reception of the various settings that they have released in the last 10 years to see what settings they would further develop in the next (10) years. If I recall correctly, Dragonlance was toward the bottom of that list. If they are looking...

This sounds similar to the way that Humanity has you choose cultures every Era, with the option to stay the same culture at the transition, as opposed to the way Civilization plays it, where you pick one culture (and leader) at the beginning and stick with it throughout.

Three cheers for psionics. For a philosophical take on psionics, through the lens of Jungian Psychology, check out my entry: https://tabulasordida.blogspot.com/2024/01/psionics.html

Other than Patreon, does he have a "landing page" consolidating his online presence?

I certainly don't know anything about gaming cons (I usually go to comicons) but these ideas are genius! Have anything like these been done before at game cons? They're all "why hasn't anyone thought of this before?" kind of ideas. Have they started franchising yet?? ;-)

Dragonmaster was, and continues to be, a huge influence for me, and may have singlehandedly fueled my love for Art Nouveau through the spectacular Bob Pepper art. When I later discovered Hearts my honest reaction was "oh this is like Dragonmaster!

from what I've heard of Turn of Fortunes Wheel, it's crossed the thematic line from cosmology to parralelism (everything. everywhere, all at once/loki)

Well this one was low-hanging fruit for the Edition Blood War, since the topic was new edition versions of classic adventures in the anniversary edition year.

Talos the StormLord was kind enough to post via Alphastream's discord: Short Adventures: Dungeon Magazine (“The Sunken Shadow” are “House of Cards” are name-checked); Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel; name-checked The Village of Hommlet Adventure Campaigns: Tyranny of Dragons (and in so...

I'll rewatch the video tomorrow if someone doesn't list them before, but one that stood out to me was Great Barrier Peaks, which I will go out on a limb to say is a pretty much guarantee reprint/update given its legendary status (and a nice gateway to rerelease Star Frontiers - they've already...

I think if you look at what adventures they focused on in the retrospective panel, you might find clues. I don't think that they were randomly chosen.
