It's a shame, I really liked inspiration as a currency players could use to effect the narrative (even if it was just a house rule).

I was going to mention this in my previous comment. In the groups I play in players do request things outside the rules after rolling a nat 20. It's not something that happens every time, nor is the request always granted. But's it does happen. At the start of 5E I allowed inspiration points to...

Just as an aside: I had a friend in highschool when we were first getting into 2nd edition DnD who loved Psionics. Like, he believed in it as a real thing, that with enough practice he would one day be able to move things with his mind. When the psionics handbook came out he joined our group...

I never felt like RPGs were in danger from the satanic panic. I thought it was basically free advertising that tripled sales. If anything it was more dumb luck.

Yeah, I do for the most part, but not always. Like, sometimes a 1 is a miss or a 20 is a success. It depends on the situation, it’s a ruling, not a rule.

I don't think it's just 1's and 20's. I agree with John in the post above, you can narrate any roll. You might narrate the scene if a player only just makes a successful skill check, as an example: Athletics check DC 15 to jump across a pit: Player rolls a 16 You leap across the pit and just...

Fantastic film, it really lived up to all the hype for me. It had one of those scenes that reminded me why I go to the cinema.

It was the movie length pilot of DS9 that really got me into Star Trek. I remember catching episodes of TNG previously and liking it, but maybe I was a bit young. I still remember a review that called the DS9 'Neighbours in Space', which I thought was a bit harsh.

Maybe the shipment of weapons that the Empire allowed the Ghorman rebels to steal were inferior/duds. (not my theory, but I don't mind it)

DnD characters also fall into the category of 'mostly orphans'

Orphans have always been a Disney thing. Just another reason Disney was a good home for Star Wars.

I've never understood this. The heroes in the original trilogy stop the Empire from gaining control of the galaxy. Without the efforts of Luke and gang we don't even get the Sequels because the galaxy is enslaved. Does Return of the Jedi undermine A New Hope because they're building another...

I was going to mention Adaptation, in fact I'd put it in the visceral experience category.
