They didn't hold a candle (which would have tasted better) to the Turkey Dinner flavored candy corn.

My initial game was a BC/BECMI/1e mashup using mostly BECMI rules. We definitely got to the Immortal levels, but not by playing by the rules. No cheating (I think, and IIRC), and we didn't consider it Monty Haul, but we clearly didn't understand the rules completely. I seem to recall the jump...

There's literally no problem unless you want her in another DC comic movie (the initial thread premise). If you do, 'fine enough' plus her asking price, Wonder Woman 1984's box office return, and some (political and thus hard to discuss here) popularity issues are a hurdle. Honestly, except for...

I wouldn't mind him playing murder victims...

I think that might be pertinent to the notion of the thread topic of relative merits between them. By all accounts, most of us played hodge-podges, or at the very least 'version X, but heavily influenced by versions Y and Z.' Since the golden age of TSR D&D (like comics and all other nerd...

You might have to 'clock in' on an iPad/equivalent, but otherwise likely not. But even a gardener/groundskeeper or the like these days might need to look at the watering schedule online or the like. Absolute purity of no computers is getting really hard to do in most places, but you can probably...

If I/the group is specifically looking for a curated treasure-hunter dungeon-crawling experience, I like me some good old fashioned gp=xp. Otherwise, yeah, concur with BenjaminPey that xp/levelling is more about pacing/trying out the gameplay at different capability levels than rewarding...

Gal Gadoogling? Why does that sound so dirty? There are no dirty words or word-components in it? What is wrong with you, brain? Note that the original topic was what to do with Gadot, not who should be Wonder Woman. Regardless, the point of Buffy was that she looked unassuming. Lynda Carter was...

It definitely fits the secondary definition of the thread topic ('Movies where the Game is/becomes the World-Setting'). I just don't know if it fulfills the primary one ('based on a game') because the game doesn't exist*. I can argue both directions. *I'm sure there has been a licensed tie-in...

Boy, when you break it down like that, the premise only holds up if you focus on the first four films (which is fitting, I guess, in that those are the ones I've seen in theater and/or seen more than once). The Rambo series definitely is a better example.

But how are we going to feel special if others know this thing we know (...which is the entire point of the thing in question...pertaining to one of the largest and most mainstream movie properties of all time)? This is kind of like the 'what's your favorite nerd property no one else remembers'...

Think I better sit out this discussion, lest I dominate it.

Chad, Jordan, Georgia, Alexandria, Sydney, Austin, and Florence would like to have a word with you.

Can't quite what the game?

It's hard to say. Sometimes 'too soon' is simply not relevant, or maybe the point. Some half-dozen years ago researchers uncovered a 8400 year-old burial in Sweden where it appears that a dog was buried, without owner, and with toys or other grave goods. Now, I'm familiar enough with...
