I think what he might be saying is not LITERALLY "where are these other game genres?" but more along the line of "where are these games on the level of popularity of a D&D or a Pathfinder or a Shadowdark". As in people do flock toward what's popular and D&D has almost always been the most well...

You wouldn't expect i,t but I'd tell you that there are no superheroes in THE SUICIDE SQUAD. In the same way if you'd asked me what Vampires are in THE HOWLING or AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. NONE. They're monster/horror movies (But not all monster movies are vampire movies). The Punisher is...

Yes, the movie is categorized under the superhero genre. The characters themselves are not superheroes. And I'm pretty sure the thread's name isn't what is a Superhero movie. It's what is a Superhero.

I was thinking more DARK AVENGERS with Valentina replacing Norman Osborne but yeah...

Are those PDF's of the characters in the books or did you just photocopy them?

It is fairly insubstantial for the first few weeks of release. It's the reason why the prices for concessions are so high as they keep about 40% of the ticket sales. With ALIEN now effectively being distributed by Disney the theater's cut is probably a bit lower than that. I'd guess closer to...

$80 million dollar budget (you usually have to factor in the cost of the budget x2 for total production cost so about $160mil) $350.9 million box office means about $190mil profit? So no, it's not doing peak MCU numbers but even big budget horror (like the Alien franchise) doesnt NEED to be...

AGREED on this point. The only thing that I disagree with is that the majority of players wont want it. Set the AI up to emulate Matthew Mercer or Brendan Lee Mulligan or whoever their favorite celebrity GM is at the moment? And it will be EXTREMELY popular.

That's something I try to live by and judge other people on frankly. I was trying to remember where I first heard it and know you just confirmed that it was HERE all those years ago from Piratecat, a name that I havent seen in ages...

If and when I decide to seriously start to look for a group again, VTT is going to be the way to go. There are geographical considerations, there's the elimination of travel time, there's ease of prep, there's not having to figure out WHERE to play (in my case I dont want people who are...

As a GM who has often stripped adventures down or heavily modified them? No, you don't need to tell them what adventure you're running. I think it's fair to pitch the general idea and theme of what you want to run, but with new people telling them I'm running "Menace in Otari"? NOPE. I read...

Again, someone responded better and more succinctly than I could have. The idea that Star Wars (that's been around since 1977 and may have over a hundred novels and short stories, not to mention comics and TV shows to it's credit) or Marvel (been around at least since 1961, counting Fantastic...

Many, MANY years ago I played in a many years long MEKTON ZETA campaign. I rarely get to to play as I've always been kinda a forever GM but it was by far one of my favorite TTRPG experiences of my life. My character name was a combination of two Tomino character names from Juusenki L-Gaim and...

I'm kinda in the same boat. I finished running a 10 year long campaign back in 2016-17(?) and while I have games I want to run? Finding a compatible group is the thing that's REALLY keeping me from gaming again. My last group was GREAT and spoiled me. They were good PEOPLE first and foremost and...

Sorry about that, I sent you a link to WOTC's site archive which was a pdf download of the actual article....

Yup. It was a very old Dragon Magazine article (Issue #127) that I think was probably reprinted in a later iteration (the online only version) of Dragon in the 2000's.

So that I'm not a complete debbie downer, my favorite genre hands down is a good modern supers game. Where i differ from most modern gamers it seems is the level of complexity. I grew up on Champions (Hero System), DC Heroes (MEGS) and later Mutants and Masterminds. I want to be able to have...

Romance and Melodrama focused games, Horror games and most period setting games are strict no-go's for me. Romance, because I have no interest in "pretending" to be involved in romantic situations with people. Horror games because there's already so much that we have no control over in real...

When Paizo did this with their 2e starter set i initially was like "what in the multi colored hard candy is this crap?" But then after a moment of thought it made SO much sense. And you're right all starter sets should be following this idea.
