I'm not a big Frank Castle fan. I will agree that I like some of his appearances in Daredevil, specifically when he shows up early in Brubaker's Daredevil run. He gets himself thrown into Rikers when he sees that Matt, the Kingpin AND Bullseye are all there at the same time. Frank realizes that...

Hell at the end of BATMAN BEGINS there's the stupidity of what he does to Ras Al Ghul. He leaves him incapacitated and beaten on the runaway train. "I'm not going to kill you, but I'm not going to save you" ?!? By actively NOT saving him, YOU ARE killing him. All sorts of mental gymnastics...

Yes. and I've NEVER understood the outrage behind this from comic fans. As someone who was actually reading the Cap book at the time as well as the book where he gets his youth and super serum back (Avengers: Standoff) there was no way that a longtime reader of Captain America didn't know that...

Points Up THIS. ALL OF THIS.

I havent forgotten that the very early iteration of Batman killed people. But the iteration of the character that has been around the longest in comics and even on TV in animated form DOES NOT KILL. The story in Superman #22 or #23 where Superman executes that Phantom Zone villains is a...

I'm referring to mostly the cinematic version of Batman and the other DC characters.

I think that in this day and age, ESPECIALLY in this day and age we need some actual HOPE and WONDER. I'm also for different takes on Superheroes but as long as you can still recognize them AS those heroes. So we're in agreement here, especially on Superman. I'm not a fan of and have NEVER...

I know the history. I'm also aware of the somewhat toxic advocacy for the release of this particular cut of the film. Like I said, I'm hope people enjoy it. I wont be watching it or anything else from ZS in the DCU until he's gone and someone who's up for a lighter take on these heroes is up...

Yeah I'm not sure what he's on about. I know that I wasn't attacking or piling on newbie players. As a long time GM, Newbies are my FAVORITE type of player.

I know people are excited about this and I'm happy for them but I have no interest in this iteration of these characters. When they decide to make a hopeful, altruistic and lighter tone for Superman? I'm there. But this is very much not for me.

YUP. Look up the inital reviews for movies like ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER, THE THING (1982), STAR WARS and CITIZEN KANE. While there are one or two reviewers that have similar tastes to me and that I trust? Most reviewers have a barely hidden contempt for ANY type of genre film, specifically Horror...

Steel, just pack it up man. You are legitimately wasting your time here. These guys have an axe to grind with Paizo and Pathfinder and there's nothing that you can show or tell them that will promote a civil discourse on this topic. Considering that the thread is ABOUT the BB theyre just going...

Stands Up APPLAUSE

OKAY.

Agreed.

You are aware that Natalie Portman is also an Academy Award Winning Actress? IIRC for BLACK SWAN back in 2011-12? She's also won multiple Golden Globes as in two, for Closer and the other again for Black Swan. I just find it odd to claim that she's not a great actress and cite Jeremy Irons'...

I found D&D in 1983. I found anime (and I mean unsubbed, untranslated anime as well as Robotech) in 1985. I'm STILL into anime as I've never stopped loving a good shonen. I'm still into TTRPG's but no longer playing or running D&D. I've loved BOTH for 35+ years.

Okay I hear you and agree with you on that first part. I guess we all have very different thresholds for that. Personally I've always written things down or done pre calculations on my character sheet or cheat sheets as a GM so that I'm just adding two numbers at most. Even at the height of 3.5...

I started when I was 11-12 with a used version of the Moldvay box, moving to Advanced D&D not to soon afterwards. I'm 49 now.

It always amazes me when people have decided that basic math (addition and subtraction) is crunchy or complicated. I don't know if it makes me a snob to NOT want to play with people who fear basic math especially when most phones (even older flip phones) have a calculator on them. Again, maybe...
