Yeah, you're welcome. It was a great live stream. Lots of good questions and answers.

What is your best tip for making taverns more interesting in TTRPGs?

Check out at a date gone wrong in our new Rolemaster Actual Play episode: Twilight (E136) & Hero (E113) "Three's a crowd"

You mean other than the Vampire the Masquerade TV series Kindred? (Though it was surprisingly well done for a 90s TV series.)

Finally pinned down a copy of Warlords of Atlantis, one of four movies directed by Kevin Connor and starring Doug McClure. This one though is not based on a Edgar Rice Burroughs book.

Bit more meandering. But some nicely done practical effects and editing tricks employed. The giant octopus was impressive.

Of these four I liked At the Earth's Core the most.

Quote from: BoxCrayonTales on April 30, 2024, 05:22:01 PMIt's more or less a rehash of 40k. What about other settings? Something more like Starship Troopers, Halo or Starcraft? Except not stupid or "satire".

Thought you wanted totally original settings?

Anything that's "more like Starship Troopers, Halo or Starcraft" can't be original, by definition.

I like having a plethora of settings and I like them not being owned by stupid corpos that drive them into the ground and kill them.

Starship Troopers is crap because Verhoven turned it into bad "satire" and Sony ran with that stupid shit. Now the brand name is garbage. The Mongoose ttrpg was nice, but they lost the license and now even the PDFs aren't available on drivethru.

Halo is... well, it's been mismanaged into crap.

Starcraft... same. The premise was interesting, even if it was derivative, but then the idiots in charge turned it into a shitty soap opera about a dumb space cowboy and his dumb bug girlfriend. it makes Twilight look like Shakespeare.

Being into nerdy topics is so frustrating nowadays because everything is crap.

TSR's Star*Drive didn't turn into crap, but it was canceled after two years and Hasbro refuses to even make the PDFs available on drivethru and that makes it nearly impossible to share the game with other people.

No, piracy is not a sustainable solution because it opens you to litigation. The whole copyright law needs reforming. Not that I expect that to happen any time soon because our governments are effing morons who don't give a crap about preserving history, art, and culture.

Starship Troopers is the novel, not the movie and the movie can't rewrite the novel. But you can always take some derivative setting like say WH40K or Helldivers and make a derivative of it.

Quote from: hedgehobbit on April 29, 2024, 10:42:38 AMThere was a scene in the old Land of the Lost from the 70s where Marshal (IIRC) falls through a portal. Watching it now, it is obvious that they just filmed an old 12" GIjOE action figure dressed in a brown shirt.

If its the scene Im thinking of then no. Thats just the actors image being rotated against chromakey.

They did though use some minis for like the raft over the falls.

Every single one that sets out to "fix" some other game. Usually trying to "fix" D&D.

From some comments appears there are swarms of downvote bots hitting several, possibly all, the subs on top of everything else.
