Looking at the last two articles, someone's hungry! ;)

It's a forever arms race. Those laser might be thwarted by deploying reflective clouds of particles that either fully reflect (possibly using the laser/energy against the craft that's firing it) or diffuse it enough to be essentially harmless. Or missiles with reflective heads of ablative heads...

I absolutely think that depending on the situation, a rotary cannon atop an armored flying tub ranges from cheaper to far, far cheaper. Imagine an Iraqi tank column moving up. Are you going to use a guided missile for each an every tank in that convoy? Do you even have enough guide...

People dismissing Cosmere as "IP fans just bought it with no intention of ever playing it!" let me ask you the question: How many books or pdfs do you have of RPGs you've never played? What about once a decade or two ago? Us pnp RPG folks are historically famous for this! ;) Let me start by...

But didn't the books happen before the TV show? And the TV show is pretty true to the books from what I remember... So the setting didn't benefit from an actual physicist and engineer. It's a story that's not that far into the future (~2350) where humanity has colonized the solar system, but...

Why just Slaanesh? Is it due to potential tentacle porn? What about Tzeench 'The changer of ways', that might also have so horrific consequences! Papa Nurgle isn't exactly family rated either... And the amount of blood and gore Khorne can produce might make some people hurl if you get into the...

It seems like you're more talking about splitting the player base then splitting the attention of the publishing company? WFB => WFRP4e has a LONG standing fanbase that would have zero interest in an AoS RPG and vice versa. BUT there a ton of new AoS fans since the 2015 release because they...

Sure, how we think about that now. But just how realistic is the psychic goo and the giant space portal? Or how realistic is the actual space ship when you start thinking about things like reaction mass quantities (fuel)? Certain aspects make appeals to your feelings or 'realism' while ignoring...

Depends, what kind of story is being told, what kind of atmosphere is being set, and what kind of technical designs are being implemented. What would Star Wars be without the X-wing and Tie fighters? As for nuke it from orbit, why don't we do that now? We have the capability, we threaten with...

Yes both split their product lines. FFG only on the 40k side and not on the WFRP side, which at the time made a LOT of sense. C7 is imho only 'splintering' 40k with W&G and IM, as HH might be the same setting, but GW also made that a distinct game from 40k (one might even argue multiple...

WFRP4e (2018): 31 distinct physical products/books (not counting special editions, etc.) (WFRP2e had 29 physical products) Soulbound (2020): 15 distinct physical products/books (not counting special editions, etc.) With the big difference being that WFRP had 3 editions and 32 years of content...

Shees, can't we have any fun before someone rains on our parade... The art in the twitter post is obviously inspired by a parade, Mardi Grass or the Rio carnival. Those are all inspired by far older European events/parades that were eventually exported with the colonization of the 'new world'...

Don't you mean your fantasies... ;)

Isn't there just a lot of negativity on Twitter in general? Drama seems to drive 'clicks'...

Quite a few actors get a flat fee, regardless of how well the movie/tv series does. Singers are a special case due to how music is distributed these days. But back in the day of records, tapes, and CDs, many music makers only got paid a flat fee. And even if they got a royalty, record companies...

Does the lineworker that made assembled your phone get paid every time you make a call? For a corporation like Hasbro it's way saver and cheaper to just pay the artist for their work without royalties. Cheaper because if they have to pay royalties they need to keep a whole administration to keep...

Because the convergence between D&D fans and Taylor Swift fans must be huge... ;)

It's on my wishlist to GM, but after Spire and a couple of other niche RPGs. They've raised £150k+ already with almost 2k backers, so they are doing well!

I really like the design and illustration. That said, I do NOT like it as a Topaz dragon in D&D: #1 The floating spine crystals, while cool make the dragon look too fantastical for it's 'family'. And I say this fully realizing that the Topaz dragon concept is already pretty fantastical... #2...

BG4: Who would make it? Give it to a new unproven studio like Giant Skull and the audience will have zero confidence in it. But which of the established game studios would want to make it without being 'booed' out of the room by fans? But blind fans will probably preorder it anyway, so it's up...
