I’m usually game to try something at least once, but some of the geek media I did try and bounce off of are: Collectible card games. I don’t like purchasing anything that’s randomized, and the surrounding culture is too competitive for my tastes. I also had a former friend who, years ago, got...

Oh yes! I mean, there has to be a few dozen (or hundred) more of them, right? By the end of BG2 I remember asking myself, Are we sure Bhaal was the god of murder??

If you’re going for more sci-fi elements you could have a singularity contained in the middle of the Sigil ring, somehow impossibly “stable”. In my more traditional Planescape game, I adopted a fan theory of there being a third, “ordial” transitive plane that joined the Inner and Outer planes…...

Well huh… this certainly wasn’t on my bingo card. I hope they do a good job! Also, I hope they don’t go back to mind flayers, I got so burned out on them after BG3 😅

Overall I still had fun with Season 2, but it often felt like it was spinning its wheels with too many plots and side characters I didn’t feel all that invested in. I enjoyed their take on Robert House depiction and there were a few cameos that made me smile. But yes, someone above me said...

Yes, quite a few smart super mutants out there. Fallout 2 had the intelligent super mutant companion Marcus, voiced by Michael Dorn of Lt Worf fame. He had been serving as the sheriff of a town in northern CA if memory serves.

My main group has been using Planescape as the setting for a while. Characters can actually get to the Astral Plane at fairly low level if they know of a gate, but once there they have to really be mentally certain about where they are goin. Unprepared characters can easily get lost in the...

I think the show really hits its stride when Trevor and Simon come together on screen, so if you give it another chance, I’d recommend at least give it an episode or 2 to see how their relationship unfolds.

Oh I think you’re absolutely right about all the above. But for me, it’s fun to imagine replaying those games in a modern format. Now maybe if we could get the New Vegas team from Obsidian like @MarkB suggested above, then we might have something! Edit: the post reply button on my phone...

I would have said a true sequel to Star Control 2 made by Paul and Fred, but it looks like we may actually be getting that! I’d love to see 3d remakes of Fallout 1 and 2. I own the originals, have replayed them many times, but remakes in the vein of Fallout 3-4 would be a ton of fun and might...

Star Frontiers was one of the classic TSR games I never got to play. One of the other kids in my D&D friends group had a few of the books and we’d rolled up a bunch of characters and speculate about the setting lore, but we didn’t seem to know how to craft adventures for it. We’d then speculate...

After hearing about the satanic dangers, my friends and I all vowed to buy Dungeons and Dragons. I had actually already played the Dungeon! board game (I have that too, but it’s in deeper storage), and knowing it was from the same company made it all the more tempting. I don’t have the box...

I hadn’t been paying much attention to the MCU lately, but this thread convinced me to give Wondernan a chance, and I’m glad I did! I like that the show did its own thing and didn’t try to follow the conventional superhero formula.

Considering the OP was about 16 years ago, the son is now old enough to watch all of Excalibur!

I ran a single STA one-shot with 2d20. We liked that the system encouraged teamwork among the characters and liked how the ship itself contributed to rolls, it felt very Federation. We didn’t like the effect dice, but that may have been due to our unfamiliarity with the game, and were happy that...

When trying a new game we always try for RAW, but we’re not afraid to tweak things down the road if the game’s not working 100% for us. It tends to be a democratic process between GM and players.

So I haven’t gotten to play with them yet, but I’m happy with the purchase. You get around 35 new creatures. The monsters are a good variety of foes, with more in the lower tier range than higher. There’s new flavors of undead, some goblin-y wolfriders, a cube-like gelatinous creature, a...

I’m otherwise very burned out on Marvel, but the cast of Daredevil is so good I’ll keep coming back. Looking forward to seeing Jessica return!
