SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Just my 2 cents on fan fiction and using the Force. In my thread about fan creations for Star Wars, none of the fan films posted have Jedi in them or Force users in action except as background. The stories are about everyday people in the Star Wars universe and not what you'd consider heroes, but they are good stories nonetheless. The key is the writing.

The Acolyte fails as media due to shit writing and a lot of fan films (like "Days Past") succeed due to competent well-thought out writing.

Not saying that there aren't some shit fan films out there, but a lot are better than what Disney+ has been shoveling at the subscribers.
"Meh."
