From the commercials that's what I see as well. He designed it in the books (they were a trilogy if I recall, 20K under the Sea is merely the first one). He was a genius and part of the fascinating part of the books were seeing that genius at work.

About Claude Opus 4... Ai system resorts to blackmail if told it will be removed

I think my favorite of the Enterprise classes is the Enterprise-E. It looks like I'm the minority in this thread. My least favorite is probably the NX. It's a ripoff (though, the retcon would be the Akira class is the one to copy it) of the Akira Class (they made the NX much smaller, and the...

I believe that part of the inspiration was Jack the Giant Slayer as well, and that is where the bonus damage to giant class enemies came from. The role of Ranger as an archetype evolved as time passed. Originally, I think it was based on Aragorn and the Rangers from the LotR, which in turn...

It's still a great game to play. I have the big release they did a while back, and recently got several copies of the revised release which is cheaper, smaller, more economical and made more for Big Box store sales. Both are great, and the smaller and cheaper release adds a few things for...

You know, the more I get into Dragonbane, the more I like it. Not very similar, but it gives off the same vibes to me as 80s Games Workshop...maybe even early 90s. Even the Artwork is somewhat reminiscent!

Yes

So, I really enjoyed DA2. If I had to rank them I'd put DA: Inquisition last...possibly because I have found I generally REALLY REALLY dislike open world games, and that first section of DA:Inquisition is....

The funny thing, if we take the entire period with Gygax and Williams, and just say they were both only there to syphon off money...and that TSR was on the edge of bankruptcy and then Williams got there just to siphon off money (that wasn't there)...it turns into an interesting debacle where we...

It's reminiscent of Gensys. If one is familiar with Star Wars (the only Gensys system I've played, or one that is basically the same system with different symbols), it's the same as the light side and dark side (It's been awhile since I played), where if you roll certain symbols you get a...

A few years back when departmentalizing the company into new divisions, they put a divider of 1 Billion as the possible brand. Thus, D&D and MtG fell under the same umbrella still (if I recall correctly, it's been a hot minute...actually longer than that...so it's a little fuzzy). The other...

Exodus?

So, though Hasbro is not a megacorp, I'd say Blackrock comes pretty close, and they have hands in Hasbro. Maybe not enough to control, but a sizeable amount. Would one consider Black Rock a Megacorp?

I find 2024 pretty compatible with 2014 5e. If you think these are incompatible you'd have a nightmare between AD&D 1e and 2e, BECMI and BX, or 3e and 3.5 versions of D&D. Each one of those were highly compatible for those who could tweak small things, but there were some who found them...

Well, if we go for older ones and it's newer companion, I really like Magnum P.I.

If D&D sales fell, while they were releasing new corebooks...I would have been excessively surprised. In fact, that would be almost certain doom on these rulesets if that had happened. That sales are up doesn't paint the whole picture though. That they didn't mention how much it was up in...

Hmmm, hard to say. I don't think Liam Neeson's jobs were really affected, more of his age took a toll on him, but he's still a leading man in many movies these days, even at his age. Ewan McGregor is also there with his acting career continuing at a decent pace after the Prequel Trilogy...

Ever had teenagers? They are so cute when they are little, and then they turn into these hellions that spend all your money! Well, you still love them, but something happens right around 13 or 14 and their entire attitude changes for something like 10 years. (4 or 5 if you are lucky).

This was one of my favorite RPG games ever made. Loved it. I never played the original on the Sega CD, but I have the Sega Saturn version, the Playstation 1 version (both of these have SS and EB), the PSP version, and the GB version. To say that I really like the game is an understatement...

I think the problem with country music, isn't the music itself, but the types of people who tend to listen to it. That would get too political for this forum, but there is a certain type of individual that listens to country music in the United States, drives large trucks, brags about their...
