I agree that they no longer need to preview footage from upcoming films. I do think they still need some way of telling a mass market audience what and when is coming. Because even with marvel, most people don’t keep up with production news and casting rumours. While there are a plethora of ways to find out when a…

The pink Borg area nice touch.

Critical role is doing great work and all, but when talking about classic D&D villains, maybe quote their description in the actual setting they originate from? Vecna has been shoehorned into many worlds, but originates in Gygax's original Greyhawk setting.

I’m not in the least bit surprised that players tend to split the party when given a limited amount of time to accomplish a task. That's such a standard practice in rpgs that there are a million jokes about it!

This is going to be trcky to pull off because the character of captain kirk who most people knew through pop cultural osmosis is very different to how he actually acts in the original series. It can be a shock to watch those early episodes and see just how by the book and diplomatic kirk is. We expect him to be this…

It really depends on the game the group and bothhow you want to play and what you want to get out of the game. Rpgs are a very powerful tool to explore serious and complex issues because nothing builds empathy like putting yourself in someone else ‘s shoes week in and week out. However, session zero discussions are…

Again anecdotal, but there are a lot of trans gamers, and I have often wondered whetherrer rpgs are actually a useful tool to experiment with other gender identities when trying to figure things out. Playing a character of a different gender is so normal that there isn’t usually much comment. So you get to spend a lot…

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't read that far, and the lore books get less detailed later on in the timeline. 

I’m quite c nervous about them bringing Pallaeon back, as the most nuanced and sympathetic imperial character in legends, it will be hard for them to do him justice. He could easily become just another admiral, and not the leader and statesman of the novels. With the first order in the future, and the lack of nuanced…

In legends Pallaeon was a lieutenant who assumed command of the Chimera when its commander was killed at endor. He led the imperial retreat, and regrouped in oversector outer. He would serve as Thrawn’s flag captain during the trilogy, before falling in with admira Daala when she seized control of the imperial…

I know that continually editing star wars is controversial to say the least, but I kind of hope that they keep improving this tech and then go back and update the earlier episodes once they gave simething which works a bit better. Its great that its improving, but I can’t help thinking that doing it the old fashioned…

That’s understandable. It shouldn’t be controversial to note that an actor who was young forty years ago is now an old man, but not everyone online thinks things through.

I really hope that this just turns out to be a test of some sort and that Luke isn’t actualy buying into the old jedi orders hypocrisy. its just so antithetical to everything Luke is!

A throw away line this week says he was in the sarlaac for five years. I'd guess he spent more time with the Sand People than we got to see though.

Yes. I enjoyed the first movie well enough. I’m very curious to see where they go with it. I’m intrigued that they are basically filming three movies back to back, and think that’s just as well, since if everyone does hate it as much as they say they are going to, at least that way it won't be left hanging!

Damn, I was really looking forward to that. Its been frustrating that there was no word on Prodigy coming. Now we know why, and we’re basically losing everything else as well. I may need to consider switching between D+ and P+ as getting both might be a bit much.

the sy-fy version is mch longer than one movie. Dune is covered in three episodes, messiah in one, and tn childen n two more. So while not quite as long as the new film each is a substan tial movie.

Saying that foundation is unfilmable is nonsense, just don’t try to film the original trilogy in isolation. The later written books have much more plot, more compelling characters, and a far more novelistic focus. So use that.

The general feeling in the hobby is that it isn’t so much an outreach activity as it is a way to paywall the game’s rules in a new way. At the moment the model for rules release relies on players being willing to sporadically buy the books. This shifts it to a subscription model, where hopefully each fan will be…

And made everyone who tried it evolve into newts.
