    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    The movies were fine, But I hated Momoa as Aquaman. He seems more like a Lobo, so I'm fine with that. I wanted someone who would be more like the traditional Aquaman rather than Bro-Aquaman. Bro-Aquaman was a terrible choice. AS for Gadot... Make her Martha Wayne. Or, if we want a bigger...

    New "Stargate" series announced

    Well, if it's like Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis, this will be fun. If it's like SG: Universe...screw that. That's going to suck hard.

    You're Top-10 Movies/Shows based on Games

    Rocky Balboa also has Rocky getting back into shape et al, but not actually winning the final bout. Each movie has it's theme. I - The underdog gets a shot at glory II - The fame that comes from that one shot and how it affects the boxer, as well as a second chance III - Fame and Glory and how...

    Toys For Tots

    Not an RPG, but Star Realms is an awesome card game. I think you can still get the Essentials Kit, that's always a winner.

    I forgot about Detective Pikachu. That actually was a pretty good movie. I wasn't all that interested in it and very skeptical, watched it because a grandchild wanted to watch it, and was pleasantly surprised. I have no idea on how it is related to or even consistent with the source material...

    Anticipatory Grief

    Something with an old cat I had was that we kept him around for far too long. His last few months/weeks were just a painful life for him. Sometimes it is better to let them have a peaceful death by putting them to sleep then to let them suffer for your sake. They die happier than they do...

    What Music Was Gary Gygax In To?

    I think, as you post in your topic, that he was into Jazz. Blues. That type of music. I think he actually really liked music as well. No one really asks about what happened to the record collection though, I suppose Luke or Ernie knew what happened to it though.

    D&D 4E WotC, DDI, 4E, and Hasbro: Some History

    Wasn't there a point where they had 80K+ subscribers to it (yes, Beyond has exceeded that by far, if Beyond was owned by WotC at the time of 4e and was in similar make up as it is today, 4e may have actually been one of the stronger showings). If we go at the low end of $10 a month for a...

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I'll repost this from the other thread We still used Gold for XP in 2e. It was stupid not too. Unless one uses the completely arbitrary story awards which have no real basis (IMO) of what standard to really rely on except DM judgement and the "feel" of it in an analogous way to some...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    We still used Gold for XP in 2e. It was stupid not too. Unless one uses the completely arbitrary story awards which have no real basis (IMO) of what standard to really rely on except DM judgement and the "feel" of it in an analogous way to some suggestions, levelling is slowed down to a snails...

    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    I think that was the Player's Option Box Set, sometimes it was wrapped up with the second 3.5 Basic set as a combo. With that combo I think you also got a free box of miniatures as well. I got a copy of the Paperback PHB and I think I may have also gotten a rare DMG version as well...

    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    3e and especially 3.5 would be your bane if you didn't like to build your own monster versions or upgrade monsters. They almost demanded you do it for every monster encounter the DM made, and was DM intensive in monster handling and creation. Far more, several times more, than ua or anything...

    New Star Trek Movie Coming From D&D Movie Creators

    Well, I also hope it's not another Kirk/Spock rehash at this point. A new crew could be fun. It could be set in any era of Trek, even. An interesting idea that I think could be revisited with a recasting or getting the old actors is showing something that the NX-01 was up to between the...

    You're Top-10 Movies/Shows based on Games

    I don't know if I can list 10, but I'd probably put my favorites as 1. Mortal Kombat (90s) - This movie just rocks. It's an awesome movie. Even if it wasn't based on a Video game, it would be awesome. 2. Street Fighter II (animated version) - This is actually another really great...

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    Quality for the 3.X line was generally outstanding. This 5e AiF is perhaps the best book since the FRCS (IMO) that's come out since the release of the FRCS. I am seriously impressed with it. Perhaps it was because I went in expecting something more like the SCAG or how they treated Planescape...
