My brain just does that anyway, after decades of ads I just tune them out. And at home I use ad blockers.

In my early teens I got into scifi movies, so as a family we rented Barbarella. My mum had to check the vhs cover, she thought the video store had given us an adult film by mistake.

They are named from the Greenpeace ship that was sunk by the French.

This would never have been put up for sale if Hasbro had taken care of it, regardless of who buys the IP from them I doubt they can do worse. Let's says Tencent does buy the IP, they could bury it but where is the profit in that, there is also nothing to divide up and parcel off. Worse case we get what we have now and we all complain about the same things we are complaining about with Hasbro. Whoever buys the IP will want to make money, so let's hope they look at the community concerns and try to course correct the mess that Hasbro has made.

That would be anything produced after 3.5. The brand has been going down for a long time. That's not to say there is nothing good in the current 5e, just for me it seems like it lost its soul with corporate oversight.

Walking my dog one day and met a random stranger also walking his dog, he bent down to pat my dog and his dog attacked mine, the stranger used his hands to pry open his dogs mouth and got bit. I took my dog to the vet to get stitches, and explained what happened. The vet informed me the best way to stop a dog biting down on something is to insert your finger in its arse, I have never had reason to use this knowledge so far.

My mates and I used to play D&D(coloured box sets) back in the day and one of my mates friends brought over Rogue Trader and a bunch of GW miniatures, we played all day and at the end the guy said he was interested in picking up a different game (I don't remember what), and offered to sell me everything he had for $40, It was a lot of money back then but a good deal so I bought it, and I'm still painting and playing today.

"seigneurs de guerre" the English name is Battle Masters, I still have the tower in my terrain collection, and I think some of the models are still about somewhere.

 

Friends 6yr old saw me painting and wanted one himself, so I got one of the Primaris you get from boxed sets and did a quick paint job on it, he wanted yellow.
