I believe from memory that electronic devices dont work in Hogwarts, due to the ambient magical levels. Steam trains still work though, so some level of gun in theory would work, but like you say less prevalent in UK.

Yeah, I just hope they take care in terms of how the whole show / cast are portrayed. The book and movies were quite non diverse, and it wouldn't look that great if the new Snape is one of very few POC, but is the one bullied by James and Co, or the one POC teacher in faculty, and the one Harry...

I read a chunk of the prequels and the couple of sequels. Overall, I found the House ones (immediate prequels) enjoyable, not at level of Frank Herberts dune books, but nice look into earlier years of characters from the first Dune book (including delving further into the Emperor and Fenring...

Can the latest Discworld TTRPG be added?

I think largely unavailable for creators to not be influenced in anything they create, with some rare exceptions. But generally when looking for example at doing a painting, and working out what to put in the corner, they are thinking what do I think will go well there, and yes that will be...

I was copying the original language. Ultimately, either every decision someone makes in terms of what they support or don't, what they allow to be sold on their marketplace or not is cramming their ethics and morals on other people, or it is people applying their ethics as they see fit. The...

You can do what you want, use AI if you want. I am free to think less of you for doing so. Foundry and the like are free to ban AI content on their marketplace as well, as is their marketplace, without others cramming their morals and ethics down Foundrys throats.

So your argument you're making is that your prediction years ago about potential bans wasnt about hurting small publishers that were active at the time, but small publishers that were either going to enter the market or change their publishing to make use of AI and scale up? And so your...

Definitely interested in seeing in how it is going to finish, and if it is the conclusion to film series, how it will tie things off. I wonder if they will have Paul take on Letos fate, rather than Leto having to take it on, which in the book Paul was a bit too human with all the associated...

Yeah, I think im in similar boat. I think applying it to existing work / games can cause issues, with characters looking different pre and post , with some looking like completely different people which could be disconcerting. However, the general quality does look better, and so I think for new...

I strongly disagree with this part. Is part of that whole physical vs mental skills divide, where to play someone smart, you have to be smart yourself, but if want to play someone strong, you don't have to prove that you yourself can lift 50kg deadweight or whatever. If someone wants to play...

And then there is the cut after the bite, to when in theory he has now eaten it, but chip packet now fuller some time passed, opening up potential that took a bite, then spat it out making a mess, and they had to reset everything up and filled the chip packet a lot more than previous.

I found it confusing as well, but dug up the below, showing SLA industries being an RPG itself set in far future with a second edition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLA_Industries

I found the Vader comics tgen the continuation into the Doctor Aphra comics very good. The more general Star Wars ones covering events for Luke, Leia and Han between New Hope and Empire Strikes back, then Luke, Leia and Lando between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were enjoyable...

I dont know. I dont play MTG, but like to collect some of the cards based on various IP because I like the art, nice miniature pieces of art for IPs I like (Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer, Forgotten Realms etc). Im not one to buy the booster packs as such, I will buy the prepackaged...

Voted Jingo in the end, but so many good books, it is a hard choice :) im possibly one of the few that rates the Rincewind books. But whether the Rincewind books, the watch, Death, the witches, Moist books or the various more one shot type, they are all good and some simply fantastic.

Wow, did not know that :(

Edit Retro_x has an informative post below outlining ethical concerns with audible that you will want to consider before looking at the below* People may be interested to know that Audible has a sale going on on various series. Includes likes of Horus Heresy, 40k, Cosmere, Fourth Wing...

Five kids, 18, 16, 14, 3 and 1. Older 3 very much into dnd, and oldest also happily plays other RPGs like soulbound, edge of the empire. Unfortunately with the 3 and 1 year old im on a bit of a l hiatus from gaming myself.

I think slop is a bit harsh, there were bad books but good books too. I think to Staffans point, it goes wrong whrn too directly linked. Someone shouldn't have to read the novels to keep up with the rpg setting, or things from novels be automatically applied to the setting. But I think books...
