That was my thought as well

And likely Mistborn will be the prototype. They can make that movie, and see how Sanderson works in the tv medium. If it goes well, alright give him the big budget production. If it falters, someone will have chat with Brandon and perhaps try and wrangle away some creative control back to a...

I don't agree with the level of critique here, but I will agree that later Stormlight books are getting more "bloated" than they need to be. I have definately found tangents in the later storiees I struggled to stay with which caused me to put the book down. In the first few books, I could not...

I do agree it is interesting that Apple would grant Brandon so much creative control when that has been historically reserved. I mean Brandon is a giant name, but he's not necessarily a monoloth of authorship, and there are some very big risks when giving someone with no tv experience that much...

I can respect that. While stormlight is the big ambitious super scaling epic, at the end of the day mistborn is likey sandersons best crafted work: it’s tight, intense, and every part thoroughly enjoyable.

I completely agree with Brandon here. AppleTV frankly has consistently the best Tv shows on the market. Not every show is to my liking but they all have been high quality. I am very happy he choose Apple for this. If Apple can do foundation as well as they have, I have full confidence they can...

Agreed, Sanderson is ridiculous efficient and dedicated. I watched him answer questions for an audience while at the same time an assistant was handing him documents to sign. Multitasking fiend!

I fully respect going the class route for Batman, but if anyone is curious I did do a monster write up for batman a long while ago: https://www.enworld.org/threads/dc-in-dnd-batman.675859/

Really enjoyed this. I think this is what Marvel TV was intended to be at the onset. A side quest in a superhero world, but with interesting characters, a fun plot that isn't world ending....just a solid plot and solid characters with solid acting.

Yeah I’d prefer if this thread be spoilers for the show, not the books

For your first attempt, you want to do a 1st level basic adventure. Not a campaign, just the most basic start. A very simple start is "you all start in a bar, a person puts out a bounty to kill X monster, and the members of the party sign up". Your goal with your first several attempts is not...

Maybe I missed it in the 9 pages of discussion, but I think this poll is missing some attempt to ground the numbers. A simple 1-5 can have wildly different meanings to people. For example, I interpret a 1 as "basically whenever the party wants to rest they can rest". Whereas a 5 is "the party...

Hehe same. Those shows are roooough by today’s standards

I know there is also the scene when the queen flies her old jet and beats up some of the baddies

Yep this is my approach. 1 hp, and then if you use a fireball and they pass their save, they are up. They fail, they die. I use that rule in my current dnd game. For speed, you can also just use % probabilities. If there are 10 minions, and they pass the save 33% of the time, kill 7 and leave...

That's a Star Trek thing forever. For example I just happened to see a short clip where Polaski was explaining to Data what an "eager beaver" was. Star Trek has always used language and quotes from teh 20th/21st century "far more" than you would expect for a civilization so far advanced from...

Alright I breezed through the episode. So here is what I found. 1) Only the main guy and his kids do any signing, we never see it from the other Betazoids. 2) The two siblings only do it with their father. There is one scene where the 3 are together and they do it. The other is when they are...

Because that was established in the lore at the time. If Geordi in season 1 was able to see just fine, but then they introduced the visor in season 2.....you would probably have a few questions. Hey what happened to Geordi? That would be a reasonable thing to ask. Thats the concern here...

A d4 damage means that for jo smoe guy with no stats, a whip will knock a guy out 1 out of 4 times. And a couple of hit whips is going to knock a guy out most of the time. We are just used to weapons against monsters and larger than life heroes, but against the common folk they do already

being inclusive at the expense of consistency is not pretty cool, that’s what we are sussing out. Introducing an alien race that is deaf and uses sign language…sure 100%. That’s what Star Trek is all about. But taking a race we have seen on screen never use sign language (and telepathic to...
