This is, I believe, an example of Hitchens's razor in action.

Wow, someone's certainly in a petulant mood! :oops:

That one is, but if you look very closely at the book next to it, you can see that it has the header "Adventures in Sigil" at the top of the page, while at the bottom is a metal skull (i.e. a mimir). That's from page 58 of the "Sigil and the Outlands" book from 5E's Planescape: Adventures in...

Bear in mind that the intellectual property rights to Buck Rogers were returned to the Nowlan Family Trust (representing the estate of Philip Francis Nowlan, creator of Buck Rogers) as of 2019, so Lorraine and Flint probably aren't trying to make anything for that particular bit of media anymore.

Completely agree. The idea that "D&D doesn't do generic fantasy very well" has always struck me as one of those instances where the speaker is saying more about themselves than about D&D. In more than three decades of playing multiple editions of the game, I've found that it, in fact, does do...

On the contrary, the distinction connotes a huge difference. Likewise, pointing out that your opinion isn't a statement of fact is in no way an insult, which makes it a shame that you seem to think it is.

Notice how your choice of language here is absolutist, rather than being an opinion statement. Well I don't know what "people" you mean, but as far as the discussion you and I are having, it's not a "conversation ender" so much as it is a repudiation of what you seem to be saying with regard to...

I just finished watching The Immortal Ascension, a live-action TV adaptation of Wang Yu's xianxia novel, A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. Although I'm a big fan of xianxia stories, I stumbled onto this quite by accident. A search via my Amazon Firestick assured me that I could...

I just picked up Rising Phoenix Games' Phoenixes—A Field Guide (affiliate link), and liked it quite a bit! One minor caveat to mention here is that the listed number of pages on its product information is slightly misleading. While the book does have forty-six pages as indicated, this is...

You seem to be asking if there's nothing which can be objectively defined as "bad." Given that the context for that question is with regards to personal enjoyment in recreational games of imagination, where the only metric is à chacun son goût, the answer should be obvious.

That's not a critical word, it's a weasel word, since what constitutes "good" is going to vary—sometimes wildly—from one person to the next. Whether something creates "much" flavor, or creativity, or if what they create "wouldn't" be part of experiencing the world, are all open to...

That's how I always looked at it, that restrictions helped to create favor, because when every setting puts every choice on the table, then those settings become that much more interchangeable. It was the same principle behind prerequisites for various classes, races, etc., because when you...

I just finished reading C. Knutson's 2003 work A Short History of a Delicate Subject: Condoms through the Centuries. This eleven-page pamphlet (which only has nine pages of writing) is, naturally, an exceptionally short product; reading it took me about ten minutes, and that was at a relatively...

My friends and I started pulling up various song mashups on Youtube when we were hanging out the other day, and I've had this one stuck in my head since:

I think you quoted the wrong post, there.

I wonder if that's in the novelization of the movie, which I have but haven't read. I tried once, and the writing is as atrocious to read as the film is to watch. I'm still not sure if that's an indication that the author, Neal Barrett Jr., is incredibly talented or a complete hack.
