    Advice on tabletop RPGs for a group of complete newbies?

    Funnily enough me and a group of friends just tried our first tabletop rpg. I don't think we'll stick with it as my group is pretty much warhammer players who enjoy my amusing distractions with board games. However I would first advise the Pathfinder starter set which comes with four pre-rolled...

    Guys.....Im looking for a job and I need to consult with you

    Only thing I'd add as a degree holder is that a degree in arts doesn't usually count. My advice if we're batting around learning prospects is get something practical and save the reading, writing, drawing for your spare time and something to develop by yourself later on. Nobody cares about the...

    Seriously, WHY Do People Consider The Star Wars Prequels to be Horrendous?

    Well this is fairly pointless as I think everyone has covered most of the major points and quite a few of the minor ones. However one of the things I think that hurt the PT that nobody seems to have mentioned is the main villain. In the OT we have Vader big, scary and powerful and he only seems...

    Let's Remake Star Wars

    The OT to me is kinnda like Jaws (which I believe Bob mentioned) A lot of what makes Jaws such a great movie is the limitations they had. We don't see much of the Shark because it looked quite bad (apparently). Thus we now have moments where suspense is built up instead of just constant shark...

    Games That Are So Good You Bought Then Twice

    I got Demon stone for the Ps2 and then when my Ps2 upped and joined the choir invisible I ended up getting a PC version under the assumption that I wouldn't bother replacing it. I since have done.

    The last way you died in a videogame is how you are going to die IRL

    Heat death, not the most exciting way to go. (It was my hunter in dwarf fortress)

    Most blatant plagiarism you have ever seen.

    I have an idea that could spice up the Zelda series

    I had a similar idea to this a while ago. Have the opening cut scene with the King of Hyrule and his loyal knight Link going on a road trip or something with their various advisors and what not when they're attacked by Gannon. He wins kills almost everyone and takes control of the kingdom...

    Breaking the 'fourth wall'

    I seem to recall one of the early discworld games doing this well. If you clicked on the main hero (Rincewind) a number of times he would get annoyed and eventually take the pointer off you.

    Del Toro to direct new LOTR movies

    I don?t think splitting the Hobbit up would be a good idea. However, ignoring the fact that they?ve apparently said that the second movie will bridge the gap between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, because it doesn?t fit my theory. Has anyone thought they might be looking at Children of Hurin...
