My main group: D&D - we are sticking to 5 and no plans to update to 5.5e in foreseeable future. 7th sea 1ed - i read 2ed and just nope. Changes are so radical, they are esentially 2 different games that just share name and setting oWoD/nWoD - by that, i mean original White Wolf run ( VtM...

I fell in love with Shadowrun as a setting, read all the novels, played Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall director's cut and Hong Kong extended and i think those are excellent tactical isometric rpg-games. I would be first one to fork out some cash for new title in that format. One thing that...

I get the same feeling sometimes. Few weeks ago, buddy from university called me, he's organizing reunion of our old uni class group. I asked him why now. When he said, well, it's 15 years since we graduated, it punched me right in the gut. Another big shocker are kid's birthdays. It feels...

Not annually, but aiming for that 18-24 month window. With 7 seasons and gaps of 2.5-3 years, that's 15-20 years of commitment. Movies ran for 10 years since release of 1st till release of last one and that's already massive. Personally, since first 2 books are rather short, i don't see them...

On the topic related, i read somewhere they should start filming S2 in mid to late 2026. Which is great. But yeah, post production on show like this is probably massive undertaking, specially because of heavy use of VFX. There will probably be overlap with post production of one season and...

You are approaching it from perspective of anglosphere, probably from USA or UK. Personally, i read portals, regional ( from SE Europe), Italy, Austria and Germany. Italian portals for most part ignore anglosphere all together and focus on internal stuff. Austiran and german portals, they are...

All the cool 80&90s cartoons, be it sf or fantasy. Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant and Nathan Never comics. ST: TOS, Space: Above and beyond. SF B movies with cool covers i rented in local video store. Anime, i got hooked pretty early on anime, with Akira, Evangelion, Gundam, Legend of the galactic...

We got it later, in mid 90s. In my grandparents building, they had one antenna on the roof of the building and then signal from that one was routed trough regular tv cables in the building. Call it "building wide cable tv", just free. Before that, people had big fishbone antennas, and depending...

What people? I'm talking about international casual fans and casual fans in general. Regular people, mostly older now, for whom HP is just part of childhood nostalgia. They have bigger things to care than what some author of kids books said on social media. Things like rising prices of...

You would be surprised. Franchise ended, people grew up, had new interests and didn't follow author on social media. Specially outside of USA. Controversies are mostly on english speaking side of social media, and mostly twitter/x or reddit or specialized forums, it didn't really bleed in on...

That would be 83, right? Funny thing is, half my friends are born in 77-81, half are 86-89. But, we all had pretty similar childhood and grew up in similar way. Latchkey kids, riding bikes or on local school playground playing football till street lights came on, playing pirated games on...

It has solid potential to be big hit. It hit's on nostalgia factor. Generation that grew up with HP books and original movies is generation that now has kids that are in that age bracket first 2-3 books are aimed to. For them, new HP is perfect way to introduce their kids to bellowed franchise...

Thank you for answering. I figured you probably read it as an adult, just didn't want to presume it. I was 10-11 when first book came out and about 19-20 when last one came out, so i read it "in real time", being close to age of Harry. Lot of what you wrote about in your previous post, you don't...

I'm 38 so, do the math :D That would be now considered older millennial.

@Swanosaurus Out of curiosity, how old were you when you first read books?
