    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!)

    OSR New changes are afoot for OSRIC!

    Probably because those of us who actually introduce people to the game and such find the idea of trying to change the game to something more akin to 3e as sort of offensive and infuriating. If OSRIC is to be an AD&D, it should be that, not some hybrid fantasy heartbreaker. The polls make it...

    OSR New changes are afoot for OSRIC!

    One of the beginning threads where they were discussing changes and things to change. It was posted in the OP some time ago. K&K thread jcboney brings up some really relavant points that I didn't see really get answered.

    D&D 4E What AI thinks about 4th Edition

    That's actually a really good observation regarding soccer and 4e that I had never even thought of before! I'll have to think on those parallels you bring up. Who are the controllers though, or what part do they play in futbal/soccer?

    OSR New changes are afoot for OSRIC!

    So, I read some REALLY BAD things about this in it's development (JCBoney basically covered a lot of reservations in the development thread on K&K). Is this some monster hybrid that is trying to win players over but isn't really 1e at all anymore, or is this actually still a 1e clone? I...

    Jeff Easley Art Book Kickstarter

    @Sacrosanct and @Aellic Mornbringer , I love the pictures that you guys posted here. Love the TSR shelf and love the shelf of books you had (I have around 3x that many D&D/RPG related D&D books if you count magazines like Dungeon, Dragon, White Dwarf, etc), but I don't have the cool artwork at...

    From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025) New Trailer

    I don't mind Genisys, but probably because I can't connect it to the rest of the films. There's just no way it can happen in the same universe as any of the other films, thus it has to be it's own thing. Sort of like that separate Star Trek line they made with the new Star Trek movies (which...

    Minis in a Starter Set? Preferences?

    1. Most starter sets are made for people who have already played RPGs. It can be self evident in how many of them are written and made. They go over the rules and then dump and adventure on you. This can work for someone who's played before, but for someone who has no idea what it is or...
