  1. To be fair, its also silly to argue that a fantasy setting couldn't have modern issues since its a fantasy, development of the world would be vastly different from ours (although, to be fair a setting that knows that people are reincarnated and that people could be either gender through their lives would realistically never hold onto the same kind of thoughts about gender and sexual identity as our world.)
  2. Spider-man is good, but 2 hrs 13 min if time is a factor. Like algroth can't vouch for the other two.

  4. Personally I took the unusually large amount of Godlikes to be a function of the story - as word gets out regarding the hollowborn crisis, you'd think that Godlikes would be one group that would have no reason to not go and try to improve their lot through the opportunities to be had. Being unable to have children, the crisis wouldn't mean the same to them.

  6. If you can provide any answers for any of these relevant questions, it may help identify what may be the issue: General (For all issues) What platform are you on? Stream/Android/iPad, etc. What version of the OS are you running? Android 4.4, iOS 9.3, etc. What model is the device? Galaxy Tab 3, iPad Mini 4, etc. What is your PFID#? (Located in the settings menu) Login Issues When you launch the game, does the welcome popup appear for Game Center/ Google Play Games? On the main screen, what is the text displayed in the blue box at the top? (Logged into GooglePlayGames, Logged into Game Center, or Link Social Gaming Network) Store Issues What products were purchased? What products are missing (if any)? Gameplay Is pass & play on? Is permadeath on? Tutorial, Story Mode, or Quest Mode? (If not quest mode, did you recently enter it?) Characters in Party Location of each character Turn Order Scenario & Scenario Difficulty. If on non-normal difficulties, which wildcard powers are in play? What card was encountered when the issue occurred? (Or check, or card just played, etc) Did the issue occur on the first explore or a subsequent explore? If subsequent, what card did you last encounter? What was its resolution? (IE, you just encountered an enchanter and failed the check, and on an additional explore you ran into a blessing of the gods but didn't auto acquire it) Did other characters aid the check? What did they use to aid it? Was the encounter a Horde? (Skeleton Horde, Goblin Raid, Zombie Nest, Zombie Horde, Garrison Location Power w/ multiple characters, Henchmen encounter in Black Fang w/ multiple characters)
  7. Funnily enough, neither lead is played by a teen, nor are the characters supposed to be teens in context of the story.
  8. When it's not shot in 3d, as I undestand it, someone has to go back and digitally manipulate each image to create the depth field.
  9. I think only three (?) Episodes of The Phoenix aired - we watched them all. I think it has a much worse reputation than it deserved. Supertrain was a sci-fi love boat set on an atomic train. Really weird concept. Fantastic Voyage faced the one-two punch of The Waltons and Welcome Back Kotter / Three's Company on the other networks. Mostly all I recall is the Bermuda Triangle and Roddy McDowall.
  10. Man from Atlantis has Victor Buono in it as a reoccurring bad guy which is fun. Another decent short lived show was David McCallum's Invisible Man. Airwolf was a Saturday show. I remember it as being dull but for certain age brackets it probably was a good sat show. Now...who remembers the Phoenix with Judson Scott from 1982? Supertrain? The Fantastic Journey...? The TV movie The Girl, The Goldwatch and Everything from 1980?
  11. For cult fans, Dave Made a Maze shows promise:
  12. 'Salem's Lot isn't really about Vampires hiding in a New England town, to be fair, its about how a vampire comes into a town and slowly takes it over. Pretty exciting stuff IMO, and creepy in a number of places. I'd rank it with the best of his novels I've read. Never read Cujo, though, as it it seemed to be a message book about vaccinating animals wrapped up with some scares of a being preyed upon by an animal and the usual King look at small town characters / life and that just didn't appeal to me.
  13. The new IT film is only the kids story from the book; the story of the adults will not be told in this film. In a way its probably the best way to pare the novel down for a singular film.
  14. Watched the Dark Tower over the weekend. Truth in Advertising, I had an unrevised version of the Gunslinger (from 1988) and was never able to get into it so never really paid much attention to the Dark Tower other than reading musings about how all of King's other work fit in. Its sort of a throwback action film; classical structure, classical story beats. Its not a ground breaking spectacle (which, for fans, may be enough to break the film for their enjoyment) but I thought it was a film that succeeded at its mild ambitions.
  15. Haruo Nakajima - Godzilla suit actor for films Godzilla to Godzilla vs Gigan has passed at 88. He was one of two actors to play the role in the original film but as I understand it became the main actor in the role for the subsequent films while the second actor, Katsumi Tezuka, took other monster parts (like Angiurus) although in King Kong vs Godzilla, Nakajima essayed King Kong to Tezuka's Godzilla. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/godzilla-suit-haruo-nakajima-dead-dies-1202517648/
  16. I'm not really sold on Bruce Willis as Dr. Kersey. He seems like an action hero. Admittedly Charles Bronson had a similar problem with respect to the original adaption being a classical cowboy type but, imo, to a lesser degree. The original book is - from what I've read about it as I've not read them - not really about action or cathartic/exploitative violence but hopelessness and desperation. The first Bronson film gets a bit of that, the later films not so much. (Can't speak to the Kevin Bacon led, James Wan directed adaption of the second book DEATH SENTENCE).
  17. RIP Mr Gaspur. There's a crowd funding sort of thing to help his wife/son out, if anyone is interested.
  18. It may be his finest hour, but what about the other 29 minutes of the film? Its a fun film if you don't get too distracted by Moore's mustache.
  19. Have you emailed support@obsidian.net with the issue?
  20. Did the character who didn't get the card feat complete all of the sections up to the card feat? Or did they get 'killed' in one of the earlier scenarios?
  21. He was in the 1979 PBS adaption of The Scarlet Letter as Arthur Dimsdale (Meg Foster was Hester Prynne) which is my first encounter with him as an actor that I can recall. Saw him in many things over the years though, (Cat People, C.H.U.D., and a number of TV guest appearances like Law and Order: SVU, CSI: Miami, The Equalizer and Miami Vice off the top of my head)
  22. DeHann is 31. I liked the film, but I do think that Valerian's character doesn't seem to quite work. Not really sure its a casting problem a conceptual problem within the script itself.
  23. She's probably been the most popular "___ Marvel" at Marvel for some time. About time she got the promotion. It really seemed like the only reason Marvel had the previous Captain Marvels was to keep DC from using it for Shazam Every so often the comic companies will trot charters out to renew trademarks. That said none of the replacements have sold greatly, but Carol has a strong core following
  24. Arguably Dutch Engstrom in The Wild Bunch, assuming there's no more definitive earlier example. Didn't stick as it was a stunt. Spider-Man is still Peter Parker. Ultimate Spider-Man (a different continuity) was Miles Morales who took over after that universe's Peter Parker died (and who is now in the regular Marvel U post the destruction of the Ultimate Universe). Note that Doc Ock was Peter Parker as Spider-Man for about two years, so these kind of soap-opera drama changes are par for the course for modern comics. IIRC there's a myth story where Loki turns Thor into a woman temporarily; also the alternate history of the Earth X stories had Thor being turned to a woman by Odin, both pre-dating Jane Foster-Thor. Captain Marvel was made a woman when Monica Rambeau took the name over in 1982. Its passed between men and women (including the original Captain Marvel's genetic son and daughter and a Skrull impersonator) until Carol "formerly Ms. Marvel" Danvers took the title. And as mentioned John Nathan-Turner teased casting a woman since he took over the show, and series producer/former head of the BBC Sydney Newman suggested that casting during the "cancellation crisis" during Colin Baker's tenure. It was more an inevitability than a possibility, I think.
