I'm much more interested in adventures than a post by post review of each section of an RPG rulebook, which means the Key of Destiny Dragonlance adventure path probably would be far more interesting to me than the other ones.

What was plaguarized? It's very easy to claim Plaguarization, but when it comes to math, numbers, and game rules (unless you quote the rules exactly), it is a lot less clear. I haven't read any of these games, so I have no idea, but if she is just copying tables and math items (which I may...

It looks like it has Christian Bale. That's more of a reason to watch than Nic Cage for me.

Or you could view it as a movie that people who had recently gone though a great depression, then a World War, and then another shorter and less terrible depression would understand. They knew life was unfair and that the blows sometimes just keep coming. That could drive them to despair (just...

If we can't have Humans, what type of RPG is this? Might as well eschew everything with species/ancestry/race then. I'll go with Redwall/harvester's types. Species - Rabbit, Mouse, Rat, Badger Classes - Knight, Pastor/Charismatic, Paladin, Fraudster on the civilization side, and on the...

Force and Destiny sort of work better as a Prequel type era or before type game, while Edge and Rebellion work well together (IMO). I feel at the heart of it, once you understand the core of the game, the core is a bit simpler than D&D and other games. It's a narrative type game in which the...

You are taking the view of someone familiar with D&D, and specifically 5e D&D. Most people have no idea what a Tiefling is. It wasn't even a core race until 4e for those who play D&D. Most people have no clue what D&D players stereotype as a bard or think of when they see a bard. For a...

I'm out. I got whammed again at the office party.

5e (started with 3e so those with 3e wouldn't be isolated from it as those from earlier D&D or other types of RPGs) has it's own anachronisms that are different than what standard fantasy tropes are. For example, Kenku are not a standard Fantasy trope and neither are Tieflings. People will...

Book of Vile Darkness...absolutely not. That one is worse than the original. However, Wrath of the Dragon God was a decent movie. Unlike HaT which made me absolutely cringe at some parts, as well as feel disconnected to it (as an older D&D player) as there were some things that just...don't...

These are the guys that made Dark Alliance!? Hard pass for me. That game stunk wild crazy fungal detriment. Unless this game just get's off the chart reviews in the positive, their former game shouts out that this one is a game to avoid like the plague.

John Wick had a simple story and built the action around it. Pretty well done too, if I say so myself.

I either didn't see it, or they messed it up. Guile was a military guy with a Flat Top (tall flat top, but still, a flat top). Best Street Fighter movie is still the Animated Street Fighter II movie. I'll hold out on judgement on this one, but that advertisement/trailer doesn't build up my...

Beat me to it (by a long margin...obviously). I was just about to say this. The intro was very similar to the US one, but with different words to it. Action Force was the name for the original G.I. Joe cartoon.

Despite it's popularity here, the recent D&D movie is not the best D&D movie in my opinion. The movie this thread is about was absolutely abominable, but the sequel was actually decent as movies go. I actually enjoyed the sequel more than I enjoyed HaT.
