I think its firmly both. There are a lot of great ideas in the movie, and they come across really well when you discuss it. But its also a mess of a film that cares more about allegory and metaphor than narrative.

Yeah, the first three are supposed to be one series. Sum of All Fears was a reboot, as was Shadow Recruit.

I’ve seen The Dark Eye at book and game store in the past, but I’ve always passed it by. Thanks largely to this comment, I will now be spending a lot of money on it.

Arguably MORE optional as this rule does not appear in the PHB, but fair enough. To me, using crits on ability checks messes with game balance too much and challenges verisimilitude. But, to each their own.

I thought this was a joke, but you’re right. Fuckin tragic, yet highly entertaining.

Can confirm. My wife and I pay about half for a shared account so our nieces can watch bluey and whatnot. We, their parents, and their grandma also get the rest of the content as a bonus, and everyone else chips in a little for the price too.

If they started limiting streaming like Netflix is doing, it suddenly wouldn’t be worth the cost anymore. But as long as we have 5 adults with jobs splitting the bill, it’s really not that bad.
