My 2 cents: I dont think DDB exclusive content is bad overall for DnD. I dont think digital exclusives generally are a bad thing, it is not great for customers that only on a digital platform that while may be able to download from isn't that easy, and access may be switched off at some point...

Good sometimes I think to realise that when the owners / staff of the pizza shop have views you strongly disagree with, rather than continuing to go in and butt heads with them all the time, that better to seek a different pizza shop that aligns with you better. If you can't find such a pizza...

Cthulhu is in the book, one of the other previews had his statblock, the presumably here is whether he is the Darklord for the domain or not.

Finished rereading Azure Bonds. Held up well, tighter focus than Counselors and Kings and easier to keep interested, and all the characters were good to read about, likeable or not. Though I initially got confused around Westgates location to begin with :) Will look to read rest of trilogy...

In Tauranga, and a couple of hours ago had red warning emergency alert for high winds. Our house is in a reasonable location at least, but will be a day at home tomorrow

But the question that arises is, if they are profitable as stand alone models, how long for? Unlike the hamburger stand, if other companies are investing into the next generation, the current generation will quickly become obsolete and no longer profitable. So rather than saying LLM 3.0 is...

Finished rereading Elaine Cunninghams Counsellors and Mings trilogy. I enjoyed the books, and nice to be back in the Realms, but found the pacing a bit off at times, making it a slow read. I think mainly due to number of POVs and interweaving plot threads, im more used these days to books...

And further sorry is looking at below link, witg history of some form of IP type protection. https://www.euipo.europa.eu/en/news/ip-from-the-ancient-to-the-modern-age

Mainly looking at below link, which i know is Wikipedia but I dont have access to much of the sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law_copyright

When I went down rabbit hole looking into copyright laws, and some tangent about a battle potentially fought over who owned a document as such, there was suggestion that prior to Statute of Anne there was a common law copyright that was perpetual, but the Statute and other similar copyright law...

Not quite sure why I get invested in going into the detail/ workings of TV shows / books that I plan to never watch / read.

I think i read somewhere that they aren't going to do annual series, but could be spaced out like others. But if they can film the series annually at least would prevent issues around aging etc.

I think there are two competing moral imperatives myself- the moral imperative for knowledge etc to be shared to the wider public, and the moral imperative for a creator to be compensated for their work. With the nature of our economic set up, giving them a monopoly period to be able to control...

I find all this conversation quite a fascinating look at 1e, and make me glad my journey due to availability was Basic to 2e.

Due to how young I was when encountered star wars and Black Hole, for a long time I thought the Black Hole was some sort of adventure with R2D2 and C3PO, I probably only in last decade when wanting to find it again realized completely different stories :)

Main ones for me Doctor Who Tolkein Star Wars Fighting Fantasy

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?
