The actors in the 1980s movie and in the mini-series look like better matches.
Dunno about Miniseries, but Kyle looked way way way too old. Paul starts his story as 15 y.o. And twinkish one, not some HS jock. Kyle was 25 and looked at least 30, nothing as it should.

Greetings!
This directed at me?
Tell you what, it isn't about "you're being mad that other people's preferences aren't the same as yours." That is frankly, a gross oversimplification, and at the end of the day, missing the larger issue.
If the rainbow degenerates kept their mouth shut, and did their weird fucking games by themselves, that wouldn't be the problem. The problem comes when all of this weak, pussy degenerate BS is then adopted and embraced by others, who then start pumping it into books and adventures that normal people then are faced with, again, and again, and again. That degeneracy starts to corrupt the entire hobby.
If YOU like that BS, great! Knock yourself out, and dive into the cesspool deep!
Many other gamers in the hobby are sick of it, and such corrupting trends pushed by degenerate storygames does nothing but harm the hobby.
Semper Fidelis,

Check its posting history. It's a troll (and not a particularly intelligent or entertaining one). Just roll your eyes and move on to someone with a semblance of a coherent thought... **roll eyes**
Quote from: Eirikrautha on April 18, 2024, 04:19:02 PMWait, aren't you the guy who whines in every Vampire-adjacent thread about all the terrible things that White Wolf did to the lore and game?Not in the way you think. I hate their IP (read Frank Trollman's critiques on thegamingden to see why) and I'm sick of their monopoly over urban fantasy. I'm glad they're bulldozing their lore and alienating their fans.
Quote from: Ratman_tf on April 18, 2024, 06:16:32 PMThere comes a time when you've retconned out the reason for the IPs popularity. And that's killing the golden goose to chase imaginary new customers who may or may not exist.I hope companies keep doing this. I got sick of their IP monopolies long before the ESG activism reared its head. I want them to crash and burn so that new creations can flourish.
It doesn't help that many changes to IP nowadays are driven by political activism and not love of the settings or material. That's a recipe for preachy, not-fun fiction.

Why would a beholder especially ever make stairs?
This confuses me. Why would a beholder make ramps? Vertical chutes are way more efficient.
