someone who has the book says that's a Cat shaman.

Plus, the cross pollination between samurai films and westerns is now intense enough that there's tons of things that get the vibe right even if Kurosawa didn't explicitly come up with it. I would watch 310 to Yuma in SPAAAAACE. This is the thing that I just can't believe - WHY haven't "they&q...

I mean, they cut a "less than one second" lesbian kiss from the release in one of the homophobic countries, do you really think they're going to try something that will ruffle feathers in more countries and also is more of a big thing that is harder to cut? I've seen it twice here in Chin...

Star Wars: Grave of the Fireflies. A tuskan raider boy and his young sister try to survive on their own in the wastes after having their whole village wiped out by a Sith Lord.

People still talk about the end of Game of Thrones? :confused: r/freefolk was a good place for this up until the witcher series came out and enjoyed them for what they were: big-budged action scenes The action scenes were pretty good in 9 I thought, EXCEPT for any scenes involved lightsaber duels. ...

IIRC that was 5th, because I remember so many people finding shit that needed fixing or errata and CGL just shrugged and said "sorry, can't do anything about it"

It's shit. no really, it's absolute dogshit. It's the edition that managed to unify the fans of all other editions against it. It's funny to see the daily threads on reddit where people ask "should I play 6th?" and every single time the thread is mostly nothing but responses of "no, ...

I come here to read stuff mostly 90% NOT related to RPGs, the other 10% being SR/ED/maybe a few other games. There's interesting discussion to read even if I can't contribute, although I'm trying to contribute more to a) not just be a consumer and b)improve my written communication. And as others sa...

Here's where I don't follow the given argument - why is extending the ALLOWED terms always bad? There was still an election, democracy had spoken and elected the person that the people wanted. Barring any election fraud (seems like there wasn't), why is it bad to allow people to decide who they want...

How many cop shows/movies show the hero cop ignoring the rules to get the job done? Even after they get caught breaking the law, even after being suspended and turning in their badge/gun, they keep working the case, because they KNOW they're right, they FEEL it in their gut. And guess what, they wer...

The point about propaganda is a good one. I hadn't thought about it from that direction. Most people wouldn't get that nuance, and I think quite a few would say they're immune to it. See also shows like 24: we had to torture these bad guys or good people would have DIED! Even beloved shows like GIT...

Holy shit that was awesome! I hope it was as much fun to make as it was to watch

Bernie Sanders has this take on the Bolivia situation (he calls it a coup)

It's oddly...interesting? reassuring?...that people here have expressed opinions that line up with previous political statements and support/dislike of Sanders

Watchmen (the series) had me sitting at the edge of my seat from 10 minutes in until the end of the first episode. The action scenes are a lot more grounded than the Snyder movie. So far, it is a once-every-few-years level show. Really really liked the first episode. Jeremy Irons old horse-riding g...

If I read this thread and am aware of OP's racist shitbag views, am I a Nazi?

In 3rd edition there was an attempt to nerf Movement's effects on vehicles by making the acceleration weirdly gradual with a bunch of die rolls involved. There were target numbers involving vehicle size, which roughly meant that it would take between two and thirty six combat rounds to get your ful...

The vast majority of Shadowrun authors did not understand what the Movement power did in a commercial setting Wasn't there some attempt to fix this kind of issue in (4e?), where the spirit could only use the Movement power on something depending on force of the spirit and the size of the something ...

I guess my flavor of cool cyberware is more Riddick, where you pay a doctor in a basement 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shinejob on your eyeballs. My assumption is that cyberware is the same as those assault rifles and RPG's. You're not having your operations done in a surgical theater in a Man...

I think you can do a fine Star Wars movie without Jedi or rebellions or anything. Making a Star Wars movie about dealing with the Jabba crime syndicate could be fun; making a movie about ace fighter pilots could be cool. There's plenty of Star Wars books they could adapt for movies too, like the Ro...
