Very much depends on the quality and content of the series for me. I finally finished Feist's Multi-War (Riftwar, Serpentwar, etc) series recently. The latter part was meh, but Riftwar through Serpentwar are great. I liked Eddings' various series. Wheel of Time I only got through books 6-10 on...

I'm still waiting for the Hardware Wars sequel.

Greenland 2: Frozen Boogaloo?

The downfall of Lord of the Rings is the lack of explanation of Aragorn's trade policy.

Balrogs don't have wings. But they're objectively cooler with wings.

It's played on oldies channels or Turner Classic Movies.

Sean Bean is a spoiler that the Sheriff dies in the movie.

The story I'm referring to within Foundation is from the perspective of the "natives". Narrator changes multiple times through the initial Foundation book, since it spans many generations. IIRC most of the sequel books -- Foundation's Edge and beyond -- stick to a traditional novel format of...

That might actually be Asimov's original Foundation novel (which is really a connected set of shorter stories). The middle part of the book -- where the Foundation manifests as a group of traders in high technology but who don't assimilate with the locals -- sounds much like what you're...

Star Wars (and Trek, but I digress) are space westerns and samurai movies. Or the good stuff mostly is, anyway. If you think Jar Jar is weird, you should meet Jaxxon the green anthropomorphic rabbit.

Now go have second breakfast.

Where are my balloon animals? And bounce house? Noobs, all of you.

Just wait until they make contact, have to drop rucks and run ... what did they leave behind? How far are they from resupply?

We use Amazon Prime (for free shipping, so streaming is a bonus), and have YouTube TV which has some streaming stuff and substitutes for cable/broadcast for us. We'll turn on other services for a month or two periodically to watch shows we're interested in, then turn them off until we accumulate...

You need to read more Bored of the Rings.

Kobolds are draconic because the kobolds said so? The game world is changing the real world now. Have I fallen down the rabbit hole into the world of TRON: Ares? I'm going to take a spear with me into the back garden at night, in case there are kobolds around.

Why does the delivery of the lines sound like the actors were unable to memorize more than five words at a time? Or were the writers just addicted to ellipses?

Been a lot of inflation since 1980 when KotB was released, and a small beer was 1 sp and an ale was 1 ep. I'll bet there are no electrum pieces in the new starter set. The youngs will not know the joy of encountering strange currency. shakes fist, wags beard, falls asleep

I have never roleplayed a banana, but I suppose there's a first time for everything. Back on topic ... if the different dragons are separate species, then why does it seem like they can interbreed with anything with a pulse? Half-dragons, dragonborn ... yet no purple dragon crossbreeds (red +...
