To be fair, the reason they started with "Episode 4" wasn't because that was Lucas' vision. He said that it was because the stuff he wanted to do with Episodes 1-3 required special effects that weren't quite able to be performed yet. So he started with Episode 4 since he felt those movies would...

Wait...so your explanation is that Han decided to take the Falcon to visit his old friend, Maz in order to get a new ship so he could throw the First Order off his trail by getting a new ship. Maz's castle is apparently, located in the same solar system as the HQ of the Republic (the Hosnian...

No they don't, like I said, in the movie they are staring up in the sky saying "The Hosnian system is completely destroyed". If they were in that system, that would include them, so it means even the movie said they weren't in the Hosnian system. But they shouldn't be able to see the explosion...

The movie literally contradicts itself. While looking up at the sky and seeing things blow up on two different planets someone says "The Hosnian system is completely destroyed. There's nothing left." That couldn't be true in they were IN the Hosnian system, they'd all be dead. Plus, one of those...

Heh. I get what you're saying. But in the movie they actually say that everything in the Hosnian system is destroyed. But they didn't blow up. Also, they watch the destruction from the Resistance base on D'Qar as well, which is also not in the Hosnian system. The novelization of the book makes...

You'd think so. But JJ Abrams doesn't much care about physics: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/111528/is-takodana-in-the-hosnian-system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maz's castle is not in the Hosnian system. It is on Takodana in the Takodana system. Everyone in the galaxy can see the beam and they show it in multiple systems. The novels explain that the beam is fired in hyperspace so the light from it can be seen at faster than light speeds. Sent from...

Yes, he makes mistakes in ESB. That's kind of the point. He needs to learn from them. I got a very different vibe from this movie than you did. I saw a Luke who had thought everything through in his plan to save Han. He sent the droids in first with his lightsaber both to give Jabba a chance...

He's the one who plans the entire rescue of Han in RotJ. I believe Chewy tells Han that he planned everything and Han acts completely surprised because Luke is just a whiny kid who couldn't plan anything. But then Luke shows up in RotJ and he's calm, collected and thoughtful. Not at all the...

This, more than anything was my problem with TFA. They literally mention that the Republic exists and that it was in charge of the galaxy and that it was destroyed in lines of dialog without ever seeing it...as if the entire thing was an afterthought. It was mentioned so quickly that most...

I would believe that if when was told the galaxy was in trouble that his sister was in trouble, that Han died, that he immediately said "You know what, I've been letting my mistake consume me for too long. I will come help you. I made one mistake and I will not let it define me." Then I would...

I'm not sure you need to telegraph these things. I look at these kind of things as interesting benefits that the PC might get if they are smart enough. Duergar are known to be greedy, if the players know this they might think to offer them money. If they don't think of it, they don't get the...

They don't have stats listed in the adventure. I've ran this a couple of times and never needed their stats. The group has always either defused the situation or sided with them. When that happens, I just have all of the commoners attack the PCs rather than the NPCs so I don't need to worry...

I'm confused. I never said any of that was fun or unfun. You ran what was written in the adventure. It sounds like fun. Just like it would be fun to walk up to a door with 2 Hill Giants guarding it and Tug says, "We guard throne room!" Cog follows with, "Where your escort?" Then having the PCs...

That's why there will be converter programs to convert all the data to the new format. We bought new ones because those copies were getting old and falling apart and also there weren't enough copies for everyone who wanted them. Luckily, digital data does get old or fall apart and there are...

I think the key thing here is that the vast majority of groups aren't going to see any problem with things like the Hill Giant guards. My players would just say "Alright, we need to get through these doors. There are Hill Giants guarding them. How do we get past them?" without every wondering...

Probably. But I believe the reason this one was not really based on a previous adventure is because I hear this is the one adventure where they asked R.A. Salvatore for help (thus, there's are a couple of tie in novels). So he had a bunch of plot ideas that helped the adventure be something new.

It certainly has some elements of Queen of the Demonweb Pits (drow, demon princes, underdark)

WOTC is just very practical at this point. A lot of people are now running their games in FR. Adventurer's League takes place in FR and it would be very difficult logistics wise to run a season of AL in any other world. Meanwhile, they are on a huge nostalgia kick lately. They scoured all of...

What is reasonable exactly? One person's reasonable is another's way too specific. So, you're saying if I walk into a room, there is a secret door on the wall. There is a visible sign that door exists (Faded bricks, scratches on the floor from when the door opens, a seam around the door that is...
