    D&D General Refresher Course D&D Edition Numbers. AKA Modern D&D Is a Self Inflicted Problem.

    Have you tried PF2? Thats not me being flippant, im honestly curious if you've given it a whirl? It does team cooperation and tactics well.

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    It was indeed a good use of limited budget. I enjoyed the story too. Though, a franchise it didnt need to spawn. Though thats typically how horror films go. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Saw, Amityville, etc..

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    Yeah, and when folks ask why so much reality TV gets made it is because a 5 mill production likely gets a quarter of those numbers. A good ROI. I suppose its both good and bad being that WoT got made at all. Though, im guessing the lesson networks will take is to not invest in two shows of a...

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    Where are you getting the retention numbers? RoP after first season had some of the worst retention numbers in streaming history. (albeit probably the biggest buzz in stream franchise history)

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    I think you need to build to a general fantasy size then. Animation might have a more suitable budget even if it has a lower ceiling of audience. A live action series would be tough if it needs a lot of CGI. Problem with WoT is its running concurrently with RoP. Despite folks preferring WoT...

    I really enjoyed the Sci-Fi TV version and the follow up Children of Dune. Underrated.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    All this film talk is making me happy. I just streamed Arnold's Running Man tonight and forgot how entertaining that movie is.

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    Submission #2 for your disapproval, The Millennium trilogy from Stieg Larsson. These Swedish contemporary noir films really delivered a new take on the investigative procedural. Seemingly at the end of the theatrical experience for this kind of genre as its made a hard descent into the...

    Science Fiction: Greatest TV Shows Part III

    Im not entirely sure either. If I had to guess, its the separation of old who and nu who. With old who being "complete". Though some might argue each Doctor's completed series is a complete series. 🤷‍♂️

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    There is a lot of good stuff in the third GF film, but its often overlooked by the bad (which was in good supply). I think the first film is a bit overrated. Its got some flaws that folks often overlook, especially in the shadow of GF2. Though an excellent choice for a top 5 franchise. Uh oh...

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    Im gonna spend some time on my submissions so im not doing an all 5 in one post. Probably take some heat for this but, I think the Terminator trilogy was excellent and deserving of top 5 finish. It had a few problems and peculiarities, but as for consistency and a solid landing I think its all...

    The Many Faces of Roleplaying: How ‘RPG’ Became Everything and Nothing

    I think this is where folks are disagreeing with you. "Storytelling" is specific type like the baseball sport version of RPG, while "tactical combat" might be the American Football version. I think your issue is the distinctions are not as sharp as you would like. I say "you" because its your...
