Sean Bean is a spoiler that the Sheriff dies in the movie.

The story I'm referring to within Foundation is from the perspective of the "natives". Narrator changes multiple times through the initial Foundation book, since it spans many generations. IIRC most of the sequel books -- Foundation's Edge and beyond -- stick to a traditional novel format of...

That might actually be Asimov's original Foundation novel (which is really a connected set of shorter stories). The middle part of the book -- where the Foundation manifests as a group of traders in high technology but who don't assimilate with the locals -- sounds much like what you're...

Star Wars (and Trek, but I digress) are space westerns and samurai movies. Or the good stuff mostly is, anyway. If you think Jar Jar is weird, you should meet Jaxxon the green anthropomorphic rabbit.

Now go have second breakfast.

Where are my balloon animals? And bounce house? Noobs, all of you.

Just wait until they make contact, have to drop rucks and run ... what did they leave behind? How far are they from resupply?

We use Amazon Prime (for free shipping, so streaming is a bonus), and have YouTube TV which has some streaming stuff and substitutes for cable/broadcast for us. We'll turn on other services for a month or two periodically to watch shows we're interested in, then turn them off until we accumulate...

Popularity + reach. "Popular within its genre" isn't a hit -- has to attract people from outside the genre and in-built audience.

Kobolds are draconic because the kobolds said so? The game world is changing the real world now. Have I fallen down the rabbit hole into the world of TRON: Ares? I'm going to take a spear with me into the back garden at night, in case there are kobolds around.

Why does the delivery of the lines sound like the actors were unable to memorize more than five words at a time? Or were the writers just addicted to ellipses?

Been a lot of inflation since 1980 when KotB was released, and a small beer was 1 sp and an ale was 1 ep. I'll bet there are no electrum pieces in the new starter set. The youngs will not know the joy of encountering strange currency. shakes fist, wags beard, falls asleep

I have never roleplayed a banana, but I suppose there's a first time for everything. Back on topic ... if the different dragons are separate species, then why does it seem like they can interbreed with anything with a pulse? Half-dragons, dragonborn ... yet no purple dragon crossbreeds (red +...

Since kobolds have evolved from being little dog men on the goblinoid "growth track" (kobolds, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, etc) to having draconic origins ... should kobolds be color-coded? Perhaps competing tribes of kobolds with different draconic patrons... I'm suddenly having this vision...

#1333 After all these years, I'm still fondue Rich's jokes.

Two: Adepticon and NOVA. Edit: Not counting the four I did for my day job, which has nothing to do with gaming.

Are dragons different species? Are we sure? Maybe they've been selectively bred (or engineered) like domestic dogs, which begs the question by whom ... see also Pern.

I pulled that trick on my PCs with a wight wolf once. It was fun -- but you can only pull it off once. Had to go to a dracolich for my undead dragon trick later in the campaign.

It's pretty convenient that their abilities, alignment, likelihood of speaking and using magic, and danger level is all conveniently color-coded like a threat condition chart. What are the in-world and metagame reasons? How would the game change if the bag of Skittles that are dragons didn't...
