    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    So, what do you think they are for? Because if they wanted to do a Blood Mage they would have called it a Blood Mage. There is no reason to use Dark Sun specific terminology unless you are doing Dark Sun (and are quite happy for people to know that).

    The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

    I saw it on BBC I think. Does that count? I haven’t seen it since though. It seems to have gone to the same place as Pirates of Darkwater. Don’t remember, too long ago. I think there was an explanation though.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    No, I tried using them, they were terrible. Space combat in Traveller isn’t really fun - too simulationist.

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    The weird capitalisation is a strong indicator. I doubt we will hear more from that username. Who are these HEROES that we are being warned not to antagonise? Coded message is coded.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    It’s not only kids who like fluffy bunnies. I would say that kids over 6 are very unlikely to like fluffy bunnies.

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    I suspect the issue the poster has is it had black people in it. Hence it’s relevance to this discussion.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    You don't need to be black to spot the colonialist tropes in ToA. I'm white and I they jumped out at me at once. Specifically, why is there no resistance movement to all these Sword Coaster colonies?!

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    It sounds to me that what they were Leary of was a backlash from grogs, not if the should make changes or not. Obviously there are going to make changes, or there wouldn't be any point in releasing a new version. And I suspect what changed it is this: Someone at WotC successfully made the case...

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    Weis wasn’t arguing for anything 80s - again, born 1948, not her aesthetic. She just didn’t like the amount of bare flesh on display.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    Yeah, I doubt it's lucrative enough to attract scalpers, but there are plenty of people who think posting AI slop is "being creative".

    Yeah, they won't remove slavery, they just won't dwell on it, or make the PCs either slaves or slavers.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    D&D more popular, ergo is more attractive to people who want to make a quick buck rather than actually create something. The less popular the ruleset, the more dedicated you have to be to want to make something for it. DMG in effect filters out the less popular rulesets.

    The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

    They don’t have a script yet so no one knows. However, it would be about the time of the Suez crisis, so they would either have to write a script dealing with a complex political situation, or go elsewhere. Given the involvement of Israel in that, I think political expedience will send them...

    The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

    Nope, I saw it and quite enjoyed it. No one said you had to be a kid to enjoy cartoons!

    The Mummy 4 Is Actually Happening?

    No. those actors are younger than me, don’t be so quick to discard people.

    Godzilla minus Zero teaser

    I’ve heard much worse language in the UK about what a force for good the British Empire was. It sounds to me like you are specifically saying “all Japanese were guilty and deserved to be nuked”.
