    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    While we are at it, 7 pages in, it should be remarked that this trailer the OP posted is merely a thought. The real thing has already been made, and yes, it was a copycat of the Ghibli style. This trailer has been posted in this forum before, but as it pertains directly to what this thread is...

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    Didn't invent anything. The thing is, if you want to complain about what others do, there are almost always 4 fingers pointing back at you. I am a massive fan of the books. I remember people disregarding every complaint we had towards the live action movies in almost exactly the same way you...

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    The above may be a harsh summary (perhaps an exaggeration, but if the trailer redone in Ghibli style is as you say, then in rightful respects, one would have to say you downright despise the books because you love the movies so much) but it bears reckoning that your criticism is rather ironic...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    This. I'd buy the book in a heartbeat...if I didn't have to get the card deck and other book with it. I only want the book with the Magic Items...not the deck itself or it's descriptors.

    Previous Gemstone Dice for sale

    This (the above explanation on how to make your own homemade artificial rubies) sounds hazardous and dangerous. I would say do the above at your own risk and I absolutely do not condone it (I imagine this site doesn't either, but I don't speak for the site). WotC and Hasbro don't condone it...

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    I'm old school. I expected the results that are currently in the poll, as this site schews towards the newer the better type of idea. However, I chose 1e rather. Preferences on this site seem to tend to choose 3e and 5e as the top choices.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    Watch Born Survivor and other Bear Grylls stuff. Grylls: And here I am, in the middle of no where during a hurricane, blizzard, and oncoming tornado all at the same time with no shelter. So, here I use my pinky finger to latch onto this rock and launch it at this poisoness snake killing it...

    Alien Earth Clip

    That would be a twist, but they don't even wear clothes so I suppose that fits.

    Alien Earth Clip

    That's right, I forgot about that. It's sort of underground by quite a bit though in an underground complex, so not quite what I had in mind. You're right though, so I guess that's basically covered. Still would be great to see the Aliens learn fear when they meet a Scot. Then again, it...

    Alien Earth Clip

    Put it in Northern Scotland in the highlands...in the middle of Winter (have them land on Ben Nevis, that's a reasonably known spot). Or someplace even colder. Like, in the US...put it in Northern Alaska. Or put it in Northern Sweden. Aliens seem to like it warm...lets see how they handle...

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    WoW! That is awesome. This is a good use for AI. I'd actually watch the entire trilogy in that style! Do it to the Original Star Wars trilogy as well! I'm not a huge Ghibli fan, but that was awesome!

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    hmm, well... I have to admit, though I'd probably disagree with them on everything from religion to politics, I had a deep addiction to Duck Dynasty. I've really enjoyed watching the occasional Pawn Stars throughout the years. And finally, on a recent visit throughout the US I started...

    On participation trophies

    On another thread in the main D&D forum a discussion was brought up regarding participation trophies. The discussion has moved past that subject, but I still had something I wanted to say. I do not see why people are so opposed to participation trophy's. The desire to win can be a strong one...

    D&D General Do you transfer characters between campaigns?

    Its done more regularly than some may think with Pathfinder Society and the Living Campaigns done in gamestores. That's the most common situation for characters being transferred between games.. There are rules for doing so, however, in order to keep everything on the same page and working right.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rate Your 5E Rules Expertise

    Yes, that created a difficulty for me as I have written rules for 5e but I wouldn't say I know the 5e rules by heart (for example, how many can recreate the futuristic weapons table found in the DMs guide by heart, while at the same time also being able to recite all the Greyhawk info from the...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    AI DMs may replace people or human DMs in the future to a limited degree, but I think you'll always have some pushback against AI being the DM by some people and some groups. A prime example is the FFG "boardgames" these days that require the use of a phone or tablet in order to play. It is...

    OSR New changes are afoot for OSRIC!

    Why do you think there are clones in the first place? Of course, if we went with your idea (and in some ways it's not a bad idea) then there would never be a 3e, much less a 5e D&D. If people would only make things instead of taking someone else's creation and changing it to their own...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    Jane Austen isn't one that has well known rpgs in it. I'm not sure there's a market for it though.

    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    Yeah, I'd say it's over-rated these days. It started getting nerfed hard during the 3.x days, and 5e has basically nerfed it far greater.

    Paramount Global and WB Discovery in merger talks

    I don't get netflix, not sure why anyone pays for netflix and their prices. Doesn't seem like you get enough of a return for what it offers. Then again, I pay for Paramount+ /showtime these days so...who am I kidding (though as they said two years ago, it's the star trek man...it's the star trek!)
