They already had a Kids Batman show, and it was waay better than this one looks.

There are two that I think almost fit the bill and one that isn't really fit the bill at all but can be a substitute. You should give Galactic Civilizations 2 a try. It's pretty decent. The other would be more of an Indie that they've been working on since forever, and has different...

I think that's a reference to TNG and Picard in one of his holodeck adventures where he plays a detective and a lady walks in which someone comments on (Beverly?).

Okay, the Beholder is easy to identify. I imagine one of those around the table is a goblin, but what are the other two?

I never played Dark Future. WHFB (it's been a hot minute for me) used d6's, generally on a table to compare WS or BS to each other and S and T or other stats to determine if you hit and how much damage you did. Dark Future possibly could be the other one you were thinking of?

I didn't play Blood Bowl as much so I don't recall, but Advanced Heroquest used a unique system of D12s instead.

What the actual...

That was over 45 years ago (almost 50 years ago I suppose by some counts). I have no idea. I don't recall what my second RPG was. Seriously, I haven't the foggiest. It may have been Holmes...but that's still D&D. I may have tried Traveler or Tunnels and Trolls, but I did not own the rules...

I believe Warhammer Quest did this.

Not OSR, but I felt late 3.5 and the 4e modules were the best with layouts. They had encounters with maps and all the stats that you need listed right there. Unlike the newer modules where you have to look things up, or the older AD&D modules which had things listed in lines, the late 3.5 and...

This is reflective of my thoughts as well, but I don't think we can go into much detail on this for obvious reasons on these forums.

I watched it a bit ago. I didn't think it was bad. Wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but definitely not the worst. I haven't seen the other ones in the series though. Had to look up what the show it was based on. That's a hard show to try to look up and watch some of. The portion of...

Use Magic Device, with a handy Wizard and Cleric to make whatever device you want to use can also be a very handy thing to increase you power exponentially.

Not really all that much. It was more flavor that they replaced. They had Two more classes (Muls and Thri-Keen), but otherwise rewrote the basic background and information for races differently. Instead of classes they added Themes, which were portions you could add to your class with swap...

Personally, these moves are good things. I would be perfectly happy to have not gotten involved with 2024/25 D&D and stuck with simple 5e. However, things like the FR release and other things (like possible DS) have me still deeply involved and keeping up with the Kardashians.
