Notice how your choice of language here is absolutist, rather than being an opinion statement. Well I don't know what "people" you mean, but as far as the discussion you and I are having, it's not a "conversation ender" so much as it is a repudiation of what you seem to be saying with regard to...

I just finished watching The Immortal Ascension, a live-action TV adaptation of Wang Yu's xianxia novel, A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. Although I'm a big fan of xianxia stories, I stumbled onto this quite by accident. A search via my Amazon Firestick assured me that I could...

I just picked up Rising Phoenix Games' Phoenixes—A Field Guide (affiliate link), and liked it quite a bit! One minor caveat to mention here is that the listed number of pages on its product information is slightly misleading. While the book does have forty-six pages as indicated, this is...

You seem to be asking if there's nothing which can be objectively defined as "bad." Given that the context for that question is with regards to personal enjoyment in recreational games of imagination, where the only metric is à chacun son goût, the answer should be obvious.

That's not a critical word, it's a weasel word, since what constitutes "good" is going to vary—sometimes wildly—from one person to the next. Whether something creates "much" flavor, or creativity, or if what they create "wouldn't" be part of experiencing the world, are all open to...

That's how I always looked at it, that restrictions helped to create favor, because when every setting puts every choice on the table, then those settings become that much more interchangeable. It was the same principle behind prerequisites for various classes, races, etc., because when you...

I just finished reading C. Knutson's 2003 work A Short History of a Delicate Subject: Condoms through the Centuries. This eleven-page pamphlet (which only has nine pages of writing) is, naturally, an exceptionally short product; reading it took me about ten minutes, and that was at a relatively...

Same.

My friends and I started pulling up various song mashups on Youtube when we were hanging out the other day, and I've had this one stuck in my head since:

I think you quoted the wrong post, there.

I wonder if that's in the novelization of the movie, which I have but haven't read. I tried once, and the writing is as atrocious to read as the film is to watch. I'm still not sure if that's an indication that the author, Neal Barrett Jr., is incredibly talented or a complete hack.

Would you mind citing a source for this? My understanding is that Paizo was aware that most of Lovecraft's work was in the public domain when they started using his material in PF1, and stuck to that rather than paying Chaosium.

I believe the text of that particular review can be found over here, as well as on over on rpg.net.

I couldn't help but note this line in the article: Given that Williams, upon securing a tentative deal with the Tolkien Estate for a Lord of the Rings line of D&D products, managed to kill it by insisting on also being granted the rights to publish novels set on Middle-Earth, that's entirely...

You should be able to adjust this, but last I heard that option had mysteriously disappeared: https://www.enworld.org/threads/20-posts-page-setting.714735/
