    I've never heard of Sunshine, so I have to agree with you. Again, I have to agree with you. Having Dr. Manhattan be the threat kind of undermines the whole idea of the Soviet Union and the United States teaming up because there's a greater threat to both from outside. I also think producers...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Communicating with others in a social situation, such as a kid's birthday party since that seems to be a popular choice, asks you to reach into your psyche, grab something you hope is interesting, and introduce it to other people who may or may not be strangers in the hope that you all enjoy...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    An AT-RT for Star Wars Legion. This vehicle was seen in the Clone Wars cartoon but not in any movies. I’m trying to put more effort into bases. Since this vehicle has such a large base, I thought a little creek would look nice.

    Yeah. What else do you talk about at a kid's birthday party?

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    I don't consider RPGs to be an intimate form of play. Not any more intimate than most other social activities.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    You can run a Star Wars game where the Emperor and Darth Vader never appear. Given that most D&D games don't go past level 10, it's not like most groups are going to be taking on the sorcerer kings anyway. You can easily focus your games on ways to resist the evil empire, I mean sorcerer...

    Even if someone did, it's likely such an individual is abusing other social conventions as well. The fact that a bad faith actor could abuse the X Card isn't really a fault with the card itself.

    Best Horror Role Playing Game

    I've never tried running anything long term as I felt the rules were more suited to one shots or very, very short campaigns. I also found the game did not work very well for a Aliens style marine game as combat was somewhat tedious.

    Are you joking? We've had some fairly heated threads on this board about Lovecraft with some arguing his books shouldn't be in school libraries. For a while there it seemed like you couldn't have a thread about Lovecraft without someone helpfully reminding us he was racist.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Maybe we can make Dark Sun an allegory for crypto coins? Okay. Your idea is better.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Still working on a squad of Rebel Troopers. I used a wet blending technique for this trooper’s head and I like how it turned out. I might need to try that with humans as well.

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    There's always the possibility an unexpected issue might crop up because nobody, including a player, thought of it. A year after my father died I went to the theater to watch Return of the Jedi where I had an emotional reaction during some of the scenes between Vader and Luke. I knew those...

    Zahn's work was among the best of the Extended Universe. It's just that the EU was mostly crummy. The best Star Wars books produced between Return of the Jedi and Episode I were all published by West End Games. Even the third X-Men movie? Blech! I don't know if that's so controversial...

    I've witnessed a severe case of arachnophobia come up in one game. It was running a bog standard fantasy using Savage Worlds where the PCs encountered some spiders. Player was weirded out, so we paused the game, I asked if it was okay if we continued if I cut out any description of spiders, I...
