    D&D General [OSR] Holmes 77 Retro-Clone

    Seems like the Holmes 77 retro-clone (2011) by RC Pinnel was forgotten by the OSR community. Labyrinths & Perils claims to be the first Holmes retro-clone, but that is false according to Tenkar.

    [Netflix] A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Season 1 (SPOILERS)

    Finished the six-episode season one last night. Emma Myers is excellent as the main protagonist Pip Fitz-Ambori amateur investigator and pain in the butt for those who have something to hide. I found the pacing very good and the full reveal chilling. 6 episodes was the perfect length. The show...

    EU Vice-president says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer.

    Huge implications for the video game industry. EU Vice-president Nicolae Ștefănuță says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer not the gaming company. In other words he says it's not a service but a goods. He effectively sides with the European Stop Killing Games movement.

    [Apple TV+] Murderbot Adaptation (No spoilers)

    Six episodes in and I must say I'm very impressed. The casting is perfect. When I was reading the books, I was hoping for a screen adaptation. For once, I feel like the screen version is at least as good if not better than the books.

    I'm tired of the broken-up and divorced detective cliché, but the way it's brought up and intertwined with the intrigue works for me. Four episodes in, and we will be watching two more tonight and finish the 9 episodes Friday evening.

    [Prime] Citadel

    We watched it last Summer and it was almost good. Recently, we watched Citadel Diana (taking place in Italy) and Citadel Honey Bunny (taking place in India), which are more low-budget. Elements of Honey Bunny will be ported into season 2 of Citadel. Did you like it? It would make a great...

    The Bondsman (Prime)

    We finished watching the first season last night. It was entertaining. Kevin Bacon plays an anti-hero bounty hunter. With his rugged and tired look, he is perfect for the role. If you liked Supernatural, you might like this. The ending allows for a second season. No idea if it will continue.

    How many years does it take for an RPG to become nostalgic, for you?

    Looking back at my very long RPG GM career, I'm obviosuly nostalgic of the early 80s (1980-1984) and all the RPGs I played with my friends. It was the discovery phase. Nothing in the 90s triggers nostaglia. I was busy studying, starting my career. There was AD&D 2e but it doesn't trigger the...
