    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    You and me have VERY VERY DIFFERENT memories of those two bottom items. But hey, maybe different parts of the world saw/see different things (somehow). Almost no one, and I mean...NO one...wants Real ID. And the only ones that would even know about that stuff with WoW (as I had no idea...

    You're looking great in that first picture.

    D&D General Faerun '68 (+)

    -1968 DR Another thing to note, Forgotten Realms existed in 1968. It was far before the Grey Box and before D&D, but you'd have to ask Greenwood (or others who may be familiar with it) what it was like back then.

    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    I think it depends. I think some studios would be wiser to listen to their hardcore fan complaints and actually take it to heart. Those fans normally have a good feel and a good idea of what works and what doesn't. A prime example of a studio listening to the Fans and changing it's product...

    Brits United

    I have no desire to drive in London...rush hour or not. The worse traffic I was ever in was around 8? years ago in Los Angeles. It was 10:30 at night and Rush Hour was still going on. It took me 2.5 to 3 hours to traverse that area on my way to Disneyland. I've been to Disneyland since but...

    Which team will win Super Bowl LX?

    I didn't really watch the Superbowl. I watched the Bad Bunny show this morning. I think it may appeal to the younger generation. I think I'm too old for the music. I liked the message of "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." that was stated. I don't enjoy that type of rap that...

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    Well, nitpicks...LotR and the Hobbit (live action) are too numerous to talk about when talking about them in relation to the books. The biggest nitpick I have though are all those who complain about the Hobbit and how it deviates from the book. The LotR deviates just as much (if not more)...

    Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

    Sorry, late to this party. This seems like a weird nitpick... Depends on the service Did a quick lookup. While the US ARMY uses meters to coordinate with NATO allies, the Marines still use yards in many instances. Barry, according to a quick look up was a US marine.

    It appears Lindsey Vonn (sp?) had quite a bad spill and probably is done with the games now.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    It's been a long time and so my memory may not be clear, but I don't think the DMG came out until 1979 (78 at the earliest?). The PHB came out in 77 (I think) and I think I only paid $10 or $15 for it? Definately not $20. 2e was out in 1990, I bought my versions right when it came out...but I...

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    I think it depends. Did they suddenly appear there through no choice of their own? If so...I'd say the situation is a railroad. It's like forcing them into a dungeon. They may be able to go anywhere they want in the dungeon, but they were still forced to be there without being able to opt...

    Olympics 2026 Thread

    I'm watching...somewhat. BBC doesn't cover the entirety of the games this time around apparently and a Discovery+ account is required for the full thing. I prefer highlight reels (not that 20 minute thing, like an hour or two hours). It seems in order to watch all you want you will need to...

    Brits United

    Simple in it is easy to determine what is which... Or simple in who thinks they are better than the other? If the latter, my partner has a worse one...they are both Welsh and German... Do you know the difference between a headache and a migraine???

    Making the cut for your TTRPG library

    Apparently forever. I still have the OD&D box... Or if we go later...I still have the original AD&D books, the BX books (I think I only have the expert box, the basic box long ago having bit it), BECMI, more sets of AD&D books, Star Frontiers, Gamma World (1e, 2e, and I think 4e)...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Wow, I do the same thing with P+ and Prime...though I'm too lazy to cancel and resubscribe constantly, so I have it always subscribed and probably waste money many times when I'm not watching.

    Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord

    I think the Video games were considered even lower canon than the cartoons and even the novels. I think they were lower on the canon totem pole than even the comic books and each game varied in how canon it was considered (for example, I think the Force Unleashed was entirely non-canon, though...

    Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord

    How do you know that was Lucas and not Filoni who brought Maul back? (may have been Lucas, but Filoni had far more control over the cartoon if I recall, and Ahsoka...his pet...was more a pure Filoni thing than a Lucas thing, along with many of the other introduced characters of the cartoon)...

    I think the movie looks fun. That's a good joke as well...Wifi. I hope she has her Hubi/Husbandi as well.

    D&D General When Was it Decided Fighters Should Suck at Everything but Combat?

    And then further pushed away when they decided Rogues had to suddenly be good at fighting and damage in 4e (strikers) and continued that idea into 5e. Why be a Fighter when you can be just as good (with a few less HP) but also have double the ability in some skills and basically get mostly...
