    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    The strangest bit of Star Wars merch I own is this shirt I got from an op shop. I looked up the label and looks like it was in a t-shirt design comp… I like Chewie and Han on the back.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    For me, Holdo and Luke were not acting out of hate, in both cases they were saving the things they loved. Compare that to Finn who was just acting out of fear/anger, driving head first into a laser cannon, throwing his life away for nothing. I feel it ties into the film’s themes of questioning...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    It's been a while since I've seen it, but from memory there is a lot of jumping between planets and characters at the start, that for me was hard to follow. Apart from the scene with Mikkelsen and Mendelsohn which is fantastic. As I said, it does come together eventually, it just took a while to...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    More thoughts Part 2 The Movies The Force Awakens: The opening scene where Finn gets a bloody hand print on his helmet, and Kylo freezes a Lazer bolt in mid air has more iconic moments than the entire prequel trilogy. A fantastic film from start to finish. Still the highest grossing film at...

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    It’s not Grognards that are no longer being catered to. It’s the bigots that are being left behind, and why we’ve seen an increase in woman in the hobby as a result.

    D&D General Reification versus ludification in 5E/6E

    It does, the DMG as an example has 30 pages alone just on Grewhawk. How is this not basic lore?

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    New players have a lifetime of spending ahead of them, which is why companies focus on them. It’s also a game for kids, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that’s how it’s marketed. The other thing to note is that the game still caters to Grognards, it’s just not exclusively focused on them. I...

    Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

    I didn't think of that, but you're right. That's actually better casting.

    Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

    He's too old to sign up for a franchise but Jude Law would still great.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Nothing from Star Wars has been that bad to me. But there have been some amazing projects recently. Some thoughts, part 1... Visions : If you break it down to individual episodes, season 1 alone has 3 or 4 of the best things Star Wars had ever done Andor : The show nobody wanted ended up the...

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    Culture is fractured these days to such an extent that it’s rare to get really dominant trends. It still happens, but instead there are multiple genres and sub genres that do well at any one time.
