Indeed, that’s precisely my point. Lord of the Rings is often held up as being “medieval fantasy” but there is very little of the real middle ages in that world. Game of thrones, for all its faults captures the feel of the medieval world much better by having more of the trappings of knighthood, tourneys, and major…

The thing that struck me most when re-watching the early seasons recently was how medieval it all was. I’m not saying it was historically accurate, not by any stretch of the imagination. But it has a lot of the trappings of medieval stories that modern fantasy often gloss over or ignore because they weren’t in Lord of…

They don't let me showrun star trek series for some reason, but it'll be the plot of my next Star Trek Adventures Rpg campaign!

The answer to your question does indeed lie in the (multiple) big finish audio dramas he recorded.

You missed a couple of designs. As various people have pointed out the red uniform style from Wrath of Khan is not only one of the best, but also one of the ones that was in use for longest.

The Starfleet Uniform design department long ago realised that they could save a lot of time and effort by not doing the designs from scratch. They started interviewing officers who had been involved in time travel incidents, getting them to draw and describe the uniforms they saw in the future. Thus the design…

I was thinking that he'd appear older as a dig at how much older Picard looks. Mockery was always much more Q's style than sympathy.

Errata: the cursed city unboxing video I’ve seen shows that Age of Sigmar stats for all the models are in the box. All AoS core rules and stats are free online anyway, so everyone should be able to play the new models from the start. What will be coming later is a full book for Vampire armies in age of sigmar, which…

While I agree it would be challenging for a civilisation of aliens on such a world to explore the surface or travel into space, I think its a bit of a stretch to say that they never would, or could. Proposing that they could become an advanced civilisation and still not discover the universe above their ice shell just…

Plus, you know, The Wrath of Khan, and The Undiscovered Country.

That was my thought. In this age of “premium” tv shows, why not cut it into a four or five part mini series and air and episode each week?

My go to explanation of what the show was in a nutshell has always been “Its what happens when the X-Files investigates the X-Men.” The names of the agents even have a similar ring to them, and I’ve always wondered whether that was deliberate.

Agreed. In fact it’s pretty clearly implied that if Jyn and Cassian hadn’t stolen a ship and gone on their own, the Rebellion’s plan was to send in Obi-Wan Kenobi on one last Jedi Commando mission. We can only imagine how differently the end of the film would have gone if they’d actually done that. I suspect that…

Note that a skull a few thousand years old isn’t a fossil. Fossils are remains which have been buried for millions of years and effectively turned to stone as the organic materials are gradually replaced with minerals from the water that dissolved the bone. This skull has been transported by water, and ended up at a…

If they want to make Constantine a Londoner then they are already missing the point. Being Scouse is a big part of his identity from what I’ve seen. I know an American audience probably can't tell the difference, but here in the uk that sort of thing matters.

That clarification from Braga is really interesting. Evolution isn’t a constant progression from less “advanced” forms to more as is often depicted. Genes have no concept of sophistication.

Oh I agree Luke is probably the best person to train Grogu. I’m just desputing the idea that he is a Jedi Master this soon after completing his training.

I don’t agree that Luke is the most powerful Jedi in the Galaxy at this point. He has only really been a Jedi Knight for a few years, and is definitely nowhere near becoming a Jedi Master yet.

The real question is whether the novels will tie into a new D&D book. Krynn hasn’t been visited for more than a decade at this point. They’ve announced that they are working on redosome old settings, but Dragonlance seems like an odd pick at this point.

I couldn’t agree more. They need characters who feel like they inhabit the world, but making those characters believable will make or break it.
