    D&D General The rapier in D&D

    Once they did away with the Bastard Sword and basically made the Long Sword of 5e the same thing as the Bastard Sword from earlier editions (especially more like what you had in BECMI), they needed something to fit the role where the Long Sword used to be. They should have called it an Arming...

    [PLEASE HALP!] 5-hour flight; what video game should I play?

    This could be a decent choice. You won't finish it from a 5 hour flight. You won't even come close to finishing it. Not a bad choice to spend time though. Terrible choice. If you lose connection, even for an instant, you are hosed. It's an always online. In addition, you said you don't...

    WAR OF THE WORLDS Trailer

    Well, my favorite War of the Worlds film was actually pretty good. It was called Independence Day. I even liked the Sequel everyone hated.

    Trailer Tron: Ares | Flynn Lives

    Morbius...Morbius...Morbius!!!! I hope it turns out better than that.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    Note, I've only listened to the audio books by Graphic Audio. I had no idea he was supposed to be Asian.

    Other D&D Variant Dragonsbane Vs Shadowdark

    I lean towards Dragonbane currently for one and only one reason. Lone Wolf recently had a Kickstarter for a new RPG. That RPG system is Dragonbane. The new Lone Wolf RPG is basically going to be an expansion of Dragonbane. No idea how they will do it in relation to how Lone Wolf and the Kai...

    Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Coming to America via Steve Jackson Games

    My favorites were by Stephen Hand...Dead of Night, Moonrunner, and Legend of the Shadow Warriors. I also really enjoyed those by Keith Martin/Carl Sargent, so Vault of the Vampire and Stealer of Souls were some favorites. I also really liked Revenge of the Vampire. For lower numbered...

    Trailer Dust Bunny

    Sure looks like Sigourney Weaver's character has pistols in her high heels.

    Paizo Ends Pathfinder Adventure Path Softcovers, Switching to Quarterly Model

    I think it depends on buying habits. For me it will utlimately be more expensive. When I play we generally only go up to around level 6 at maximum. I like the low level games for the system. That means that I read through descriptions of the APs very carefully. I normally only buy the...

    Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Coming to America via Steve Jackson Games

    Crazy thing is that I didn't even realize they weren't published in the U.S. until recently. I had gotten reprintings that they had done over the past few years (which I suppose must have only been in the UK?), and had thought they were available everywhere.

    Judge Rules That AI Training Doesn't Violate Copyright

    That's what they say, but they don't give any method (except for those who already were involved with the lawsuit) to actually collect any money (or even verify that their work was among those utilized. As I already know some of mine were in the collection on the site they took books from, it's...

    Star Wars: Starfighter

    They are all younger than me, BUT...comparatively to actors today... Why all the old people. Are old people the starfighter pilots now...what about the young generation of pilots like Luke and Biggs were when they started flying X-wings?

    Judge Rules That AI Training Doesn't Violate Copyright

    I am thinking some of the books I wrote (and that were pirated) would be on that list. With how these things work, I expect a few creatives who levelled the case to get paid, and everyone else who is like me will never see a dime.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Hard to say, but probably Humanity outbreeds everything else. Sort of like Rabbits. Doesn't matter how many you kill, they always come back. At least that's a big problem Elves have had in many of the humanocentric fantasy worlds. The biggest competitors sometimes seem to be either goblins...

    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    This is from AD&D. Use this as gospel. If they roll a character without these traits...reroll. 16 or above in at least one, just to make sure. Using that as a qualifier means that you usually can end up with a feasible character. It may be fun to ignore it and see how well you can do, but...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Also, sort of like today in our lives. A normal person is not going to go toe to toe with a Bear (or perhaps even an angry horse that cannot be calmed). Even a spear in hand will probably have that fight go somewhat badly for the human. Human's are successful (even with primitive weapons...

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    If we take your opinion as truth, no...you did not. YOU have to actually be playing an RPG called D&D to be a DM. As per your statement, 4e is not an RPG...therefore...you didn't start DMing with 4e as there was nothing to DM. Afterall, it's just a miniatures game...(like warhammer, or...
