I haven't watched this, but let me leave this warning: no politics. If you can't talk about it without talking about politics, don't talk about it.

That gets you the tiny D&D audience, and probably makes the mainstream audience think “huh, that’s weird, why did they change Van Helsing into a hobbit?” — I just don’t see a reason to do it from the Hollywood POV. It would come across like those gimmicky comedy rip-off horror films to anybody...

Why wouldn’t they use Dracula, a similar but much better known and more popular—and copyright free—IP? There’s no advantage in using a more obscure vampire in a big gothic castle pining after a lost love in a Transylvania-esque land. You don’t need to use the lesser-known D&D version of Dracula...

No, I mean it was literally based on Joss Whedon's Traveller campaign. Obviously he took poetic license when he made the TV show--he was replicating the campaign setting, not the game rules.

Traveller is Firefly. In fact, Firefly was based on a Traveller game.

You guys are like actual aliens!

Chinese takeaway? Wow! I can't think of anything less Christmassy! You say that's traditional? Sometimes I think I know Americans, and then sometimes I discover I have the most enormous gaps in my knowledge about their culture.

I'm not sure "RPGish" is a draw for me for anything other than an RPG. I like playing RPGs. I like eating cake, but I don't watch the Great British Bake Off. I think I look for something different in my sci-fi watching than in my gaming. :)

GIven that you all have Christmas dinner on Thanksgiving, what do you have for dinner on Christmas day, if not Christmas dinner? I can't imagine Christmas day without the full turkey and all trimmings. It just wouldn't be Christmas!

This is definitely the wrong sentence in which to put the word “writing” in scare quotes.

I may be unique in that I have never seen any Stargate in any form ever.

What does he do all month? Force the local kids to trick or treat him every day? Hold Halloween costume parties nightly? How does one celebrate Halloween for a month?

You can celebrate things outside your own birthday. Hope that helps.

No, of course not. It’s not a thing (except it’s a day when all my American co-workers suddenly vanish without warning). I get up and work just like any other day. Turkey is for Xmas day, anyway. Just ask Charles Dickens.

That first edition of Warhammer—is that this one? Which I have on my shelf right here.

I see the confusion. That's just a picture. The actual desk is not actually 3-inches tall. :)
