    Nope. NIN - Nine Inch Nails.

    Trailer Tron Ares trailer

    He's not a bad guy . . . just a very weird guy. Very method, to the point of disturbing and irritating his castmates. He's not a bad actor, but overrated . . . well, Hollywood seems to love him, but many fans find him off-putting.

    Mongoose Publishing Acquires Dark Conspiracy RPG

    That was certainly true back in the day, I remember avoiding their products for that reason. Is it still true with their more recent stuff over the past few years?

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    True, no classic SRDs have been released into CC yet. Credit? As far as we know, WotC's intent has not changed, only their timeline. Credit is not due, certainly, but good thing no one is giving them credit for things they have not yet accomplished.

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    Yeah . . . this is why I get a bit triggered when folks start complaining about WotC breaking promises or commitments . . . the incident you mention was only one of many such incidents. Yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see the statement you linked as a "commitment" but rather a...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    Your term above was "reneged" and your tone suggests you are upset they are breaking promises, commitments . . . WotC, of course, tried to revoke the OGL, then walked that back and released the 5.1 SRD into CC and announced they'd do the same for classic editions. Other than that, what is their...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    You're not alone in your sentiment that WotC has somehow broken promises to fans . . . . but I've never understood this sentiment. They're late on the timeline they shared with us in your link. So? Life happens. I'll be concerned if at some point they publicly walk back that committment, or a...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    I agree that swapping out the aliens for Dr. Manhattan was a huge mistake in the film . . . But I love it anyway, it's still one of my favorite superhero films. To the point where I'm struggling to watch the recent animated version on Max.

    Reneged? Okay.

    WotC Chris Cao has left WotC

    It's collectible. Some folks like to collect and care about the monetary value of individual cards and their collection. Doesn't make it predatory. I love the Professor's videos, even though I care very little for the monetary value of the cards I purchase. I do tend to avoid the ones like you...

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    I think you distinguishing between "contract" and "agreement" is making some large assumptions here. If Ed did have an agreement, or contract, with TSR stating that whatever he writes is canon until it isn't . . . then WotC most certainly does have to honor that contract. But really, how hard...

    D&D General Dragon Delves To Feature Two Adventures "Appropriate For Solo Players"

    Okay, time to take off that cursed tinfoil hat +1 you've been wearing . . . D&D has had a long history of supporting solo play, although it is mostly for the BECMI ruleset back in the 80s. Other publishers have experimented with this style of play over the years . . . either 1-on-1 DM & Player...

    D&D General Dragon Delves To Feature Two Adventures "Appropriate For Solo Players"

    As as a middle-schooler back in the 80s so shy I couldn't ask my equally nerdy friends to play D&D with me . . . I loved the solo modules TSR used to put out back in the day. I'm excited WotC is again experimenting with this style of play. I've noticed on the DMs Guild, there are several solo...

    Paper Magic predatory? Nah. No more so than baseball cards. Collectible, addicting . . . yeah.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

    Will some of those art pieces glow under a blacklight? :) Those would make some cool posters for my psychedelic basement game room in the 1980s!!

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    I'll take it! :) I know that Ed has been LGBTQ+ friendly . . . probably since before he even sold the Realms to TSR! So, no surprise that the Realms has always been a friendly place. And I love the "Um, Actually" reference!

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Nothing in the OP shows trans drow as "canon" . . . but this excerpt from Dragon Heist does!! Ed is good people, and of course gives anything he posts or publishes a degree of canon-feel, as he is the beloved creator of the Realms . . . but he does not own the rights to the Realms, nor does he...

    WotC WotC (Mistakenly) Issues DMCA Takedown Against Baldur's Gate-themed Stardew Valley Mod

    Well, the police were not involved because the cards in question were very much NOT stolen. And WotC knew that. The worst possible crime was that a retailer purposefully broke street date. That's it. Should they have investigated? Yes. Should they have hired a security firm to do the work? I...

    WotC WotC (Mistakenly) Issues DMCA Takedown Against Baldur's Gate-themed Stardew Valley Mod

    Yes. But hey, the arguments and sources provided here didn't convince you, neither did your own research . . . so why accept the truth of it now?

    That's true . . . I love Pinkerton! It might not be their best album, but it still rocks! :)
