I dearly love most of what 2e added to AD&D, but unfortunately, a lot of what it subtracted from AD&D at the same time. And I just can't even with the underlying foundation of the AD&D rules. What I wouldn't give for a game based on BECMI, with all of the PHB(R)/OA/Sp&M classes and BECMI class...

I believe it's a problem, and I believe people who've had that problem, but it's never been a problem for me. My FLGS encourages people to run whatever they damn well please on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and when I pitch my games I lead with the premise-- either the premise hooks them and they're...

The sequel isn't actually a sequel, though. It was a whole different movie that got renamed Ong Bak 2 in the States.

Tony Jaa's first movie to get a big American release. It's a martial arts film about a peaceful man who raises elephants going on a fucking rampage when his cherished elephant is stolen. It's amazing, and the sequel is better.

I haven't played it yet, but on multiple read-throughs, the rules feel good. The rules for hacking normal 20th century computers are extrapolated into the rules for hacking Terminator CPUs, seemingly seamlessly. Terminators feel like they contrast with humans in the same way they do in the movies.

I don't know. I feel like several people in this thread have argued quite convincingly that the services I've rendered are of zero or negligible value. edit: I'm getting my money's worth, and for what I use AI generated images for, I don't feel like I'd be losing anything on the incredibly off...

If I had a clean way to differentiate between human art and AI images for human readers-- because I would still feel meta-contractually obligated to include human art works-- I would happily include AI-generated images in my books if they were legally public domain. Added value, you could say...

Even as a fan of the system and the publisher, as a fan of the franchise it's hard to argue that Lip Reading is an important skill in the setting.

Rewatching Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Getting myself jazzed up for the Terminator RPG game I am either going to run or die trying.

People act like Carl's a joke, and he is, but people act like Carl's just a joke and one: he is a really good joke, and two: he's the thesis statement of the entire goddamned franchise. The Terminator established that the cold, unfeeling killing machines could never understand or experience...

All I really wanted was for the seventh Terminator movie to feature an older Dani Ramos in Act I sending a Resistance cell back (with a Rev 9 hot on their heels) to the Eighties or Nineties to secure some objective against Legion; Act II features them getting entangled with one of Connor's...

The sixth and probably very final one. It's good. Not as superlatively good as the first two, but the only really viscerally terrifying villain in the MCU and the payoff is very satisfying.

Most people agree with me that Terminator 2 is better than The Terminator. Most people don't agree with me that Terminator: Dark Fate is, too. I think we've already hit all of the non-controversial ones, and some... interesting choices. Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2 Krrish (sequel to Koi...

I started shaving my head in my early twenties. Tried letting it grow out again in my mid-thirties and it was all gone. No loss, I had gross clown hair anyway. Now it's just gross Krusty the Clown hair.

Literally all I use it for: I can communicate more clearly and effectively with a machine, who can communicate my intent to a human artist, than I can by attempting to communicate with humans directly. Well, that and player handouts that don't even reach the level of "free PDF"; half the time I...

Binging on the No Fate podcast, and... I don't know if this is what Cameron intended all along, or just my own epileptic trees, but a lot of people have a hard time parsing the "timeline" of the various works. And the thing is, Terminator doesn't operate on linear time. There is no timeline...

I'm proud of a lot of the titles in my collection, but they're in a frightfully disorganized state up on my shelves.

Probably a little sad that if you asked me about my 'dream car', I'd answer that I want a small fleet-- between 4-6-- of Ford Crown Vics, just retired from public service. And a school bus with a wheelchair lift refitted as a cargo/sleeper van.

Ethically, I'm not entirely sure where I stand. Every human artist ever learned by imitating the works of other artists, and no matter how perfectly a human artist imitates another human artist, it doesn't become a crime unless the plagiarist attempts to pass off a whole copied work as their...
