That Gamera is full of turtle meat?

Not sure that's an apt analogy. Carpenter claims he wanted Halloween to be an anthology but got 'forced' to do II; Season of the Witch was supposed to be the yearly changing story

This is interesting to me because I'm pretty sure that the 1e DMG's example of play had a lot more of the DM asking for dice rolls, even bend bars/lift gates, so maybe it was more representative of actual table play. If memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure the location is the same between 1e...

While GURPS may be a foot note, I think it's managed to stay more in people's mind or peripherary than, say, Rolemaster/MERP or some other systems. I do have an issue with using Fallout as a benchmark. You say Fallout is a major gaming IP - and it IS - however, people playing Fallout 3/4/76...

There are some interesting ideas still, I think, in Guardians of the Flame. I'm a big fan of Doria's protection robes, how they're absolutely just soft normal clothes until something hits them; I always laugh at the scene where they're trying to figure out what to do, and one of the characters...

I think we'll see it, but maybe not in 'official' supplements/work. Who knows. It's a blur, but I'm pretty sure I lifted an idea like the quasi deities from a Dragon article when it had gone digital? It seems like it was about 'local' gods including the example of a venerated old tree which...

I think you're overlooking also Joel Rosenberg, I'd wager, is the Joel Rosenberg who wrote Guardians of the Flame, one of my favorite series I got into as a youth (at least the early books) For those unfamiliar, these college kids play a D&D type game with their professor, who starts up a new...

I would absolutely expect Sharn to have SWAT teams which are probably (former) adventuring parties. Look at Force Grey for Waterdeep - a higher level example, but... you have a ranger with two blink dogs, Khelben's apprentice, a frost giant, a priest, and a guy who commanded a djinn.

Maybe in addition to this, you need to consider Reservoir Dogs, where it's not about the thieves leaving as a group, but them meeting back up. The Watch will probably arrive in waves - like Mister Pink said, the cops who immediately were there were there because of the rat in the group, and...

I've been intermittantly playing but now I've finally uninstalled it. My game crashes any time I fast travel

We met a space Kardashian. (Traveller 2e, and not a Star Trek joke)

The un-redacted after-action report? The Dracula Dossier

Is your player's character named Benny?

I double checked with the SRD -- a cleric without a specific god has been a 'thing' that's an option since 3.x at least. "If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, he still selects two domains to represent his spiritual inclinations and abilities. The restriction on alignment domains...

Maybe bring back the first-edition Sweep attacks where they're being mobbed by lower ability monsters, each attack becomes a close AOE effect.

Because new players haven't been shown how to homebrew? Probably why they put out an Acq Inc book and like seeing Exandria books - there are plenty of new-gamers who only know D&D through those things.

I agree. I wonder if the writing strike affected how hardball Netflix wants to play? I wonder, comparing this to the Dragon Prince rpg (Tales of Xadia), if anything is different in the contract language, if these 'NDA breeches' that supposedly happened during a con with Netflix there etc, if...

What this feels like to me, at a cursory glance, is the whole kerfuffle over Babylon 5. The nutshell of that was JMS trying to shop around B5 and taking it to Paramount, Paramount not wanting it but still having access to the series bible, and then... magically Paramount decides to make a Star...
