It does sound like you're right. But who knows what it will actually be if and when it actually makes it to screen. Hollywood infamously has no respect for a project's original vision whatsoever. I'm just reading the news on that production as Daisy Ridley being attached for another Star Wars...

I also think that they are in a similar situation with Rey as they were with Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi where we end on a note of "and now you are truly a Jedi". While we may recognize that the "hero learns to hero" part of a character's story can be much more interesting than the...

Personally I feel any adventure too long to easily read through in one brief sitting (probably anything longer than 16 pages) really needs an apparatus of marginal notes or some such to explain the significance of everything as it comes up to someone flipping around through it.

I can't speak to the later seasons of Discovery, as I never got around to watching them, but this season of Picard is the first time in my experience serialized Trek has actually produced a storyline that seemed momentous enough to justify a ten episode treatment. It also doesn't suffer the...

Thousands of people fail to make money or otherwise see the success they want on RPG products they put insane amounts of work into. Very few of them feel their lack of success requires conspiracy theories to explain.

I think that's almost certainly how this series ends. I'm guessing it won't happen until the very end, because I don't think they really want to incorporate Mandalorian armor visually into his baby yoda look.

Um, in a technical sense I suppose. In a "having a pretense of being a coherent piece of art" sense the person that we assumed from the beginning is the title character should be the title character, and while an "in a sense it was the other main character who was there from the beginning whose...

I think the basic problem is that "Din Djarin" was a throwaway, Star Wars name generator name, not a carefully chosen hero name, because he's supposed to be more of a "man with no name" figure whose actual name was trivial. Having characters call him "Mando" was one thing when we were in...

Episode 6 definitely had a lot of odd moments, and I wouldn't say it all worked for me 100%, but they really didn't hold back with any out-there ideas on this one. I liked seeing it turn into a sci-fi buddy cop show for the middle of the episode, even if it was an odd and abrupt turn. And even...

Just got back from the theater, and I'm going with 10 out of 10 for a high fantasy movie. It's a genre that so rarely fails to disappoint on screens large and small that you have to reward it when they actually hit a homerun. It was about as good as it could be. The hitting average for movies...

I mean, that's 100% on my bingo card for the show.

Starfleet Academy in the 32nd century. They've taken two of the Trek series ideas that don't particularly excite me and combined them into one worse idea I have no interest in at all. While I'm not as opposed as some to another 32nd century show, an academy based show seems like something that...

I'm basically happy with the balance of 5e spells. My priorities for 5.5 spells (if I had any intention of buying a 5.5 product) would be to implement broader and more interesting uses of upcasting mechanics, and to tweak a few spells that, whether good or bad, don't really live up to their...

I think the main thing that keeps me coming back to those adventures at this point is that, when DMing through a virtual tabletop, I can google any location in the module and get a detailed battlemap that someone has made for it. Our heroes want to get in a fight at any random building in...

While it sounds like the OP has a more generalized problem, I find that the WotC full-book release published adventures are particularly cumbersome to run. Basically I think they have more moving bits and pieces than the creative team can keep track of amongst multiple authors and though...

Jack, Jack, he's the Kwisatz Haderach.

I mean it does feel like it's kind of too late to establish any new entity as being the thing behind the big floating head big bad and make them a satisfying antagonist (or antagonist behind the antagonist), so my money is increasingly on it being something from Star Trek history. While I'd...

Wookiepedia votes a resounding "yes" (by which I mean a screenshot from this episode is already the main picture for his entry and the episode has only been up a few hours).

Back in college, the first assignment for my study abroad program in Rome was to go find every ancient obelisk in the city. At the time I assumed that would be my only obelisk hunt.

I had to vote "No", because, lets face it, no matter what direction your coming at it from, a WotC version of Darksun created in the 2020s is not going to make you happy (and that's assuming it doesn't just end up being mediocre simply because half their setting books end up mediocre). I don't...
