Interstellar is one of my favorite movies. People often critique the hard sci-fi bits of it. But I actually don't think it's a hard sci-fi movie. One of my critique of science-fiction (not all of it of course) is that it often focuses on such grand questions, or on technical/scientific premises...

Most bigger publishers and established companies need to print at scale to reach acceptable prices and save their margins. Then, they most often sell directly to distributors or outlets, hoping that they'll sell them. I'm sure they want their stuff to sell, but they don't lose money if it...

I don't disagree with most of what you said. But I don't think anyone is asking publishers to do all this stuff. We simply react much more positively to nicer presentation and videos that have motion. A well designed page also communicates better what the product is (not that all graphically...

Maybe they could. I have the temperament and personality to ignore the noise. It's relatively easy for me to ignore comments on social medias, or annoying people in my life and to not care. But I've met numerous people in my life for whom it was very difficult. No amount of "Just don't think...

Yeah... I'm not donating money to a for-profit, no matter how great they are. It just doesn't compute for me.

A niche inside of a niche. It's probably a handful of people being annoying. I can understand the feeling of just not having energy to deal with something, no matter how small it may be.

It's also fascinating to look at yourself and see how you think. We are creatures of patterns and habits. We react much more than we act. And once you look at it, it's really difficult to unsee how we react or hold certain opinions out of psychological shortcuts more than anything.

I keep seeing the elegance and simplicity of 1E referred. Being more interested in games light in rules, I've been wanting to have a look.

First edition?

I agree. I'm excited there's a season 2, I hope they move into a more anthologic format where each season is its own story. There's so many different stories to be told in that setting.

The phases stopped meaning anything a while ago in my opinion. The first three had an obvious structure and direction to them. Endgame was six years ago, there's been so many movies and TV shows and it all feels like a huge spaghetti with no clear buildup, arc or ending point. I'm sure the big...

I'm kinda surprised that Mothership's Warden Guide is nominated as a supplement? It's not really a supplement, it's a core book. I don't even know if you can buy it separated from the core sets. Maybe in PDF?

I bought it with a handful of other cyberpunk foundational books a few years back, got to read the others but not Neuromancer. I guess I'll have to join.

Here in Quebec, we call Coca-Cola "Coke". If you wanted a Coca-cola you'd ask for a Coke. Most other brands we call by their name. Interestingly enough, the French translation for Soft Drink is Boisson Gazeuse, or Fizzy Drink if you want. However, most Quebeccer call all soft drinks Liqueur...

I'm really underwhelmed that they do not ship outside of the US. Print-on-demand is not a bad option, but as I own the original I wanted to get the expansion in a form factor, paper and format that fit with it. I hope my FLGS will get a copy.

I wonder how much of that hundreds of thousands will end in the pockets of Bledsaw.

I agree. But I do think it's a cause for much friction. I'm sure it'll ease over a few months.

I had zero interest in Daggerheart. But I've read a bit about it in the past days and there's interesting ideas. My interest is growing. I think the issues I see most raised are with the metacurrencies and the narrative that's more freeform than in more rigid designs. Having been brought up on...

D&D has gnomes. Every game needs a martyr.

Ultraviolet Grasslands is absolutely phenomenal. Most people don't know this, but it's just a setting. There was an accompanying PDF with a simple OSR ruleset available, but technically there's no rule. It's just some weird goodness with gorgeous and evocative moebius-like art. It's definitely...
