I would love to see that be the island's Deadlands moment.

Can anyone recommend a good entertaining history set in or focused on the relationship between Japan and the West? Basically a narrative nonfiction version of Shogun?

I was just answering your actual question, not saying anything about DH. It is possible that publishing good sales data would promote 3rd party support for DH, but given what we have seen as far as partnerships go, Darrington seems to want to have relationships with its 3rd party support...

Broadly speaking, that is all AI can do because it doesn't think. Anyway -- this is not a movie for me but I bet kids will love it.

The KS page says the campaign will launch at 9AM ET and there will be a quickstart PDF available.

I finished "Empire of Blue Water" which was recommended by @Whizbang Dustyboots . What an excellent book. If you have any interest in the golden age of piracy, Henry Morgan or the early years of Jamaica, I highly recommend it. The event at the end of the story was unknown to me and really...

At the regional cons in our area, a collection of us GMs often run multi table events for charity. It isn't uncommon.

Nonsense. Qui Gon respected local customs because he did not have the authority to subvert them -- and yet tried anyway by cheating. Your assessment of the situation is both factually incorrect and obviously intentionally inflammatory.

Right, but that isn't the point of the thread. The point of the thread is that when you look at ALL of Star Wars, there is more to it. It isn't just "kid's stuff" regardless of Lucas' intent with the films.

I mean, the OP makes it very clear that the hardcore fans aren't just talking about the movies. That's for the casuals. The whole point, as I understand the thread, is that there is MORE TO IT, and that is found in all the extra. So it is kind of weird to try and chastise hardcore fans for not...

Accusations against the Jedi as fascists are way overblown. What they were was COMPLACENT. Their goals were still good, and they did good for the galaxy, but they had been in the position of righteous authority for so long that they forgot their actual role -- peacekeepers. Both Qui Gon and Yoda...

As I build the pre-gens for my magitech/aetherpunk superheroes con game, I think Experiences work great as a way to articulate the characters "secret ID." So my Batman like I described as "Jim Gordon from year One except he is also Batman" could have the experience "Good cop in a bad precinct"...

If you say so.

"Undermine the hero" is NOT a prescribed move. You are thinking of "undermine a success" aka turning a success with fear into a failure. There is nothing in DH that suggests experiences cannot be employed by the GM. At the very least, an experience can "provide a golden opportunity" in the...

One of the struggles Star Wars has is that it increasingly lacks a strong identity. Potential audiences don't actually know what to expect for any given entry, and often it turns out to be so much of a compromise between different tones that it satisfies no one. If M&G has a strong identity...

The other Star Wars threads got me thinking about this, but I wanted to open it up to fan creations, edits, theories and fiction in general. What examples of the above elevated a piece of entertainment for you? I will explain with one of the first things that popped to my mind:

This could not look worse, IMO. Luckily, I don't have to watch it! After Andor, I don't know if I can go back to nonsense Star Wars.

That the best world building for the Star Wars universe was done by a combination of comics and tabletop RPGs.

Unfortunately, people often correlate sales with quality, so they do things liek scroll right past books on DTRPG without "[blank] best seller" tags and so on. It even affects D&D -- remember when some YTer claimed D&D 2024 only sold 1000 copies or something and people used it as evidence that...

EDIT FOR CLARITY: I mean to ask you, personally, what makes something a classic TO YOU. I am not asking you what you think makes something a classic to society or audiences at large. Note that this is a question about your own personal preferences and views, not about academic or critical...
