I think if I were to watch The Eternals again, I would watch it in chunks instead of start to finish. So, I think you're on to something!

Wow - for me at least, this cover specifically fails to achieve these goals. Making the figures all pretty much the same size does give equal significance to each level of threat, but my first thought when looking at the cover was "well, that's dull". But again, I'm just one nerd, and it's not...

I'm not in love with this cover, I think because all the figures are about the same size. I feel like it would be more dynamic with more variation there. But it doesn't rally matter to me.

I noticed that she referred to "this timeline" - the timeline she and Ruby were in at that moment. This seemed like a pointed comment, but it might just be a reference to her/UNIT's awareness of varying and shifting timelines. I love that UNIT has training and technology to deal with an array...

When it came out a couple years ago I saw Dune in IMAX and LOVED it. Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors, and I'm really hoping his Rendezvous with Rama happens. Saw Dune 2 in IMAX, and liked it less. I think everything happening on Arakis made it less interesting for me, and the...

Well, I basically checked every box except VTTs. I'd like to see Itch.io on the list, though - I have quite a library there, after a few charity bundles, that Shadowdark bundle a while back, and a few things I discovered while looking for something esoteric.

There's one player/DM in our group who will definitely be buying all the new books, and will probably get the versions with the limited edition covers. I can see a smattering of the rest of us buying a smattering of the core books. I won't be surprised if I get one or more for my (November)...

Not crazy about making gnomes and halflings into traits of the same lineages, but I get the reasoning. I just feel like there's a better way to do that, but maybe it requires an approach to races that would deviate too far from 5E to be compatible.

I just need the rules, preferably in bullet-point format, not complete sentences, because I want to be able to find a specific rule when I need it. Fewer pages and clear presentation means less time spent referencing. So, I like a core rulebook that's as small as possible. A big chonky book is...

When DMing, I'm going to use whatever image I can find of a ___ dragon that suits me in the moment. Maybe I'll tinker with the statblock and powers. So, I'm happy to let artists design whatever they want and fill a book with their cool art.

Hags really are the worst.

I've been running a character using WOTC's 2024 playtest fighter, and the TotV fighter looks better. Things are just a little clearer, fit together a little better, and the features just make sense. The things fighters get at 1st level are things you just need to be good at if you're going to...

Having watched all of nuWho (some of it many times), and now watching from the very beginning (I'm just starting series 5), I found both of these episodes thoroughly entertaining, moving, and intriguing. Loved it.

One of my favorite things about DW is how agile it is at switching from silly and funny to serious and horrific. I think it's one of the things that kids like about it - kids like to be scared, but they don't like a sustained scare.

I've backed Hypersleep Terminated, because it fills a sub-genre I've wanted to play/run, and because I don't have to really run it! I'll probably be backing Nibblemancy, because it looks like a fun addition, and because of the creator's strong "no AI imagery" statement.

This will take more time to digest than I have right now, but I like the basic ideas. Ultimately, if ti works in play for you then it probably will for others, too. I think there's better ways to present and organize things, but again I can't get into the weeds about it right now.

Night of 1s and 20s.

Trying to whittle down a Cortex Prime variant for sword & sorcery that will be easy to run and teach/introduce to my group. (Before anyone suggests Cortex Prime S&S rules that can be found on the internet, I'm confident I have properly scoured the internet and found them all - unless there's...

The role plays the playing role in the role-playing game.

Very interesting, and thanks for the thread. I don't know Daggerheart yet, but none of these is how I would define a narrative game. For me, a narrative game is one whose mechanics focus on drama. The technical details of skills, powers, spells, punching, stabbing, etc. might have some bearing...
