I was 6 or 7 when I saw Star Wars in 1977. It's impacted my life in a huge way for a long time. I love the OT. So much so that I still have my laserdisc player because I STILL have my OT (unaltered) laserdiscs. While I've read and enjoyed some of the expanded universe stuff most notably the...

I'm sorry that you place a higher value on the people who misinterpret and really miss the point of these stories as opposed to the actual stories being told. And the actual stories arent tales of glorification. It's "this life seems awesome at first. But then the person you think is your...

I'm just going to interject here about the perceived glorification of the mob in certain movies. The Godfather especially the second one isnt a glorification. As a matter of fact it shows the wear and tear being involved in organised crime has on a family and the people that they love. By the...

Takashi Miike's AUDITION and ICHI THE KILLER are pretty disturbing on multiple levels and not easy to watch at all. There's also the first 5 min of DEAD OR ALIVE which is CRAZY. I will probably NEVER watch A SERBIAN FILM. There is a french horror movie called INSIDE about a deranged woman...

It does. I watched LOST as it aired and thought that the first half of S3 was the most uneven and weakest of the seasons. When I binge watched it years later on bluray it was almost a completely different experience. Now binge watching is my preferred way of watching series. It will be...

Gotcha. One last question. What was the original intent of the OGL?

Okay I see. The implication that there's a group of people who place playing a supported new game over a game that they may actually like and enjoy playing. Youre totally right about this and I didnt take this into account.

How is the business losing money on a product that they've basically abandoned and have no intention of supporting again? Which ties into the second thing, what exactly have they lost by allowing the OGL and Pathfinder to exist? This statement implies that without Pathfinder then 4E would have...

Or maybe people actually didnt LIKE 4E? I dont understand when people say this. It's as if people were simply going to play D&D no matter what. Whether they actually liked the system or not. People who liked 4e PLAYED 4e. People who didnt DIDNT. If they didnt like 4e they would have played it...

This would make some sort of sense if WOTC did not basically abandon that version of D&D. Never to be used again by them. If it was a version of d&d that you despised and never wanted to see again then Okay. But if like myself and obviously MANY others we weren't quite done with that version...

Nope I'm pretty much staying with Pathfinder as my default FRPG. Love the system, love the support love the accessibility of the staff. At this point I dont think I'll even be picking up the core books unless it's utterly spectacular.

*Looks up thread* Sooooo, I'm guessing the answer to the question at hand is yes? Personally, I think that the gaming community at large tends to make too many excuses for itself and it's sometime sociopathic behavior. Especially how it acts on message board forum. I was part of a two or...

Yeah, that rant sounds alot like what I used to get from people when they found out that I played RPG's and video games. "I don't get why you'd want to play/do that?" "That's kinda stupid isnt it. Sitting around and talking about playing a game about talking?" (That last one from someone who...

Actually while I'm not a fan of 4E as an RPG at all I DO own and like all of the Adventure Boardgames and feel that the modified 4E rules used in the boardgames are pretty good and fun. So YAY 4E boardgame rules ?

My deepest Condolences to Mr. Porter and his son. HERE

As far as purchasing and supporting a D&D edition from WOTC? I have no such plans and wont be purchasing and supporting 5E or Next. I'll keep supporting and playing Pathfinder and supporting Paizo with my dollars. And if should somehow Paizo and Pathfinder eventually die on the vine I have...

It does help if youve seen the series. But I'll say this, my favorite TV show of all time is THE WIRE, my top five favorite shows include SPORTS NIGHT, The 1st 3 Seasons of the WEST WING and VERONICA MARS. Veronica Mars is well written, funny and engaging in a way that Buffy and other GIRLS ARE...

But...I AM playing my favorite version of D&D that's NOT officially D&D. I'm playing Pathfinder. If Pathfinder goes away? I just don't play D&D. I dont want to go back to descending AC, or crazy saving throws or no skills or anything like that. I played those games for YEARS and the only...

I know I'm not special. I also know that it's not a new phenomenon. Youre not talking to someone who started playing RPG's with 3rd Edition. I've been around at least since 82 so I know that the D&D faithful usually blindly follow the game from edition to edition. I WAS ONE OF THEM. I know...

True. This was back when myself and bunches of others still had faith in the RPG portion of the brand. It may not matter that I alone wont buy the core set of 5E. You're right. But there are a fair amount of people who are probably not going to buy / support 5E. People who are perfectly fine...
