    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Final comment on this issue as I originally meant it in this thread to just blow off some steam... but yeah.... I'll say again I think part of the issue is the criteria is so nebulous that ive taken to just accepting what people like as Christmas movies for them instead of trying to tell...

    I think you are mixing the sequel up here?

    Dungeon Crawl Classics What is cool to you from a player perspective?

    Kind of a tough question. There isnt really anything to focus on other than your class. Add a few random points here, open up a new set of tables to roll on there.. Its part of the charm for the system is how easy to grab and go it is. Dont get attached to a single funnel character. Death is...

    TV Executive was the fill in for business owner Scrooge. What is today's equivalent? Tech mogul?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Thats not really different than any Christmas movie I've seen. Other than being about Santa Claus specifically maybe. Realizing Die Hard's events happen during a Christmas party is fun and makes us think of that time a year. I watch this film with my friends and family every holiday season like...

    How to TPK

    If we know its a TPK as foregone conclusion then sit back and enjoy the show. Yeesh, I dont like running stuff like this. If there is gonna be some "everybody died but the story continues..." contrivance id make that the beginning of the campaign and known. This isnt the type of surprise I like...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2000) was a passion project turned cinematic disaster

    Sure, any concept could potentially work with good writing and excellent execution. As a betting man im not putting money on being wrong about Buck Rogers though.

    Totally. I would never in a million years run to google to find a release date as a criteria for an x-mas movie. Though, apparently im very liberal in my holiday movie standards.

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    I agree with @Clint_L in that I don't let the stats literally interpret the character. I let them mechanically represent what the character is good and bad at. The two reasons I have come to the conclusion is that I am annoyed when folks dictate how a person should role play and interpret their...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2000) was a passion project turned cinematic disaster

    The only way I see Buck Rogers working is in a one off parody film. Like the Starsky and Hutch kinda thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    With the revised question, id say depends. Yes, its balanced in every one has the same framework with which to build their character. The system, however, has both SAD and MAD classes which prevents things from "total" balance. Which is why you see designs like 4E and PF2 where every class is...

    Right. A June/July release meant that the VHS would be available right on time for the holiday. The rental business was huge then.

    Tell me about Star Wars: Edge of the Empire

    Yeah, It was pretty quick to pick up how the dice worked. One guy who even refused to use the game dice, just used ordinary dice and a conversion table (which folks often miss or disregard when talking about the dice).

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    Oh yeah, TM did seem to get the assignment. Just seemed to loose steam after the pilot. Probably could have been a really good 3 hour movie instead.

    Twisted. I loved that pilot, quickly lost interest after. Pretty common in network level type shows for me though. Fallout is in a different league altogether. Fits more in the premium category.

    Really? I’ve never seen a show start with so much promise and plummet in quality so quickly.

    It’s fine. Hard to say much from a single episode. Looks like Amazon is gonna try and milk it.
