I know it will end in disappointment. I don't know why I bother.

No, not using D&D 5E as the base. It's a revised WFRP 4E that's backwards compatible. Your books will still be usable with the new edition...wait...where have I heard that before? https://cubicle7games.com/en_EU/blog/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-fifth-edition-in-house-interview

Settings of Hope strike me as inherently unrealistic and break my suspension of disbelief. Settings of Despair are more realistic and are easier to suspend my disbelief. There's also more work to do in Settings of Despair. As Gradine and others have said, turning despair into hope is some of...

And I will do it again.

Are we still supposed to pretend it's about taste instead of money?

Speaking of malapropisms...

Yeah. You could easily switch casting times to costing X actions where X is the spell level. Fireball costs three actions, etc. It would help to drop things like bonus actions and switch to 2-3 actions per round.

Still true. 2001 is the single most overrated movie of all time. It’s the most boring film I’ve ever watched.

Malapropisms can be hilarious though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malapropism Such a great quote. Another, similar one from Doctor Who. “There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t act a little childish sometimes.”

Exactly. Mirth & Mayhem. You can have both whimsy and darkness. They're not mutually exclusive. I've always thought it more silly and childish to insist on the purest black grimdark without a hint of irony or glee than to have goofy elements like ducks and wolfkin and halflings.

Just have to add them all back in. Besides the awesome that is the system itself, a big draw is the races. Especially the ducks.

The much discussed scene starts around the 51:30 mark. If we‘re talking about escalation, Primus insults her teeth as the 2-3 thing he says to her and her response is a literal F you. It goes hot from there rather fast.

See also the JRPG inspired games like Fabula Ultima that did well over $1 million recently. Exactly. They‘ll sand off the rough edges and make it appeal to a modern audience, but they‘re also 100% trying for the nostalgia bait.

To the complaint that D&D is marketed to kids, yes and no. Clearly they're marketing it to younger people in some respects, but those same younger people have zero nostalgia for Spelljammer, Planescape, Dark Sun, etc. They have zero nostalgia for Warduke and Venger. They have zero nostalgia...

That was my first thought as well.

When the Mage LARP rules were released we had a guy go around town spray painting utility poles with glyphs. He‘d use them to teleport around.

My favorite sci-fi author is Philip K. Dick, so I'm a big fan of mindscrew sci-fi stories. Despite having a few adaptations made of his work, most of them are not that great as movies and the best, Bladerunner, has already been listed a dozen times so no need to repeat that here. City of Lost...

I’m not sure I buy that as a criticism. The core box has a fleshed-out sandbox setting with the Misty Vale and the Secret of the Dragon Emperor. The Vale map covers about 150 km W-E and about 100 km N-S. That’s bigger than some “complete” settings.

100% this. It’s a stellar movie in every way. The soundtrack kicks ass, too.
