    Amazon takes over Bond franchise

    Over the last two decades I've found the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise to be vastly superior to any of the Bond outings. Not saying that they were BAD but I've enjoyed GHOST PROTOCOL, ROGUE NATION, FALLOUT (especially FALLOUT) and DEAD RECKONING way more than any of the recent Bond films. That...

    D&D General Chris Perkins and Stan! - previous D&D edition thoughts

    Pretty much the same with me. 4E was the beginning of the end of my support of D&D as I didnt like how 4E played and moved with Paizo over to their continued support of 3.5 and then Pathfinder proper. I've been using PF for my Fantasy RPG needs ever since. Oddly enough though I really...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    Yup. Also, when Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker and Micheal Keaton when he was cast as Batman and Robert Downey Jr. was cast as Tony Stark. Fans...are not the best judges of things. Especially the so-called purists. No imagination...

    How likely are you to use D&D for your next game?

    When I run again it will probably be PF 1e or 2e. I've been using ChatGPT to help convert various 3.5 and even AD&D adventures to PF1e and/or 2e. This has saved me an immense amount of time and has really boosted the amount of available resources for use in a PF 1e or 2e game. I will probably...

    Captain America: Brave New World - Official Trailer (2025)

    That's Lt. Torres, who has taken over Sam's old suit and role as The Falcon while Sam is the new Captain America. His character was introduced in the FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER series.

    D&D General Poll: Did you watch the D&D cartoon when it was new?

    I watched it on Saturday mornings on CBS. WHEN it aired wasn't consistent. They would move the time slot around. But yes I definitely watched this first run.

    Pathfinder Launches Playtest for Necromancer and Runesmith Classes

    I get that youre joking but for the record that's not at all how multiclassing works in 2E. It would be impossible to dip into every class the way that the system is designed.

    D&D General What is your most prized Dungeons and Dragons Product?

    For me, it's B2/THE KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS and my copy of T1-4 THE TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL. Also, GREYHAWK ADVENTURES by James Ward and the original 3.5 version of PTOLUS CITY BY THE SPIRE by Monte Cook.

    Trailer Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning | Teaser Trailer

    LOL. Point taken. But to be fair, Person of Interest had 103 40min episodes and 5-6 years to introduce and develop the AI as antagonist. Mission:Impossible - Dead Reckoning had 2hrs and 43min. It's not exactly a fair comparison. The opening minutes of the film with the Entity basically...

    Trailer Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning | Teaser Trailer

    I like the callback to the very first movie with the knife that falls from Krieger's hands and into the secure room during the Langley infiltration sequence. My guess is that the guy who was the operator in the room who Kiteridge reassigns to a remote arctic outpost ("Mail him his clothes...)...

    Trailer Captain America: Brave New World | Official Trailer

    I really like the style of the trailer. It plays as more tense conspiracy/techno thriller than super-hero. No banter and the stakes seem high but not world ending. I like that they may be addressing the stillborn Celestial as it appears in more than a few background shots in this trailer. And...

    DC Heroes Role-Playing Game Gets New Reprint from Cryptozoic

    I get it. Champions is a system that takes some patience to learn especially with character creation. But once you stick with it was vastly more versatile than any other superhero system at that time. Which is why we stuck with it through 4th and 5th Edition. We had some AMAZING games using...

    DC Heroes Role-Playing Game Gets New Reprint from Cryptozoic

    I still have a 2nd edition box of this in cellophane / plastic wrap. I mostly played 3rd Ed and I loved DC HEROES. It was the super hero game we played between Marvel FASERIP and Champions 4th Ed.

    D&D General Top 5 Best Non-WotC adventures?

    Technically, it might be considered WOTC since because it was published by Dragon Magazine under Paizo, but the first chapter of the AGE OF WORMS adventure path (in Dragon Magazine #124 I think), THE WHISPERING CAIRN by Eric Mona is a really good starter/lower level adventure. It's 3.5 but I...

    Worlds of Design: Why Buy Adventures?

    Why do people buy commercial modules when early RPGs assumed the GM would make up the adventures? Because when I started with TTRPG's and D&D (1982-83) there actually WERE a bunch of commercial modules available. My intro to D&D wasnt through the ruleset, it was me finding a copy of B2 at a...

    How much math should RPGs require?

    No, but it's what GETS you to the cool story you tell people afterwards. I ran a 10 year long Curse of the Crimson Throne PF1 campaign with people who had various levels of arithmetic aptitude. High level Pathfinder 1e play tends to have a fair bit of modifiers and exception based rules. But all...

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    Hmmm...I guess I must be built a little different than some (maybe alot of people) in this thread. I dont follow or watch franchises or things that I'm not a fan of. So for instance I dont know much about Grey's Anatomy or Sex in the City so as a result I'm not really gonna watch any spin-offs...

    How much math should RPGs require?

    I use math as most most people do as general terminology because I figure most people here understand what I'm saying BUT if we're going to be accurate, Arithmetic IS a subset of the overall discipline of Mathematics. It just deals with exactly the type of basic calculations that I'm talking...

    How much math should RPGs require?

    As a kid of 11-12 years old when I discovered RPG's and one who was NEVER excited about (and on some level was afraid of) math? RPG's helped me get over my fear of it. So much so that once I became comfortable with adding and subtracting relatively quickly in my head, multiplying and dividing...
