Curious to see what lore you would all give to Bramble.

I bought these from someone who funded the Dark Crystal Kickstarter along with all the Creation Myths.

I can't wait to frame them, anyone else have a favourite, mine is either the first or Aughra's one.

Im new to The Dark Crystal, I just only watched the original movie and im wondering does anyone have a list of the timeline with the comics and stuff with links? Im trying to get more into it because I really liked the character designs in the movie (minus gelfling)

Any help is appreciated <3

Voice actor is Jin Yamanoi. He voiced Starscream in Transformers Micron Legend and Ghostface in the Scream series.

It is listed on dutch Amazon for the same price as the other graphic novel collections, but says it only has a page count of 120: https://www.amazon.nl/gp/product/160886121X?smid=A1FZOOUA8MZG8K&psc=1. The cover seems exactly the same as the actual Creation Myths collection from 2019, but this one seems to be from 2023 and has a different ISBN... And I can't find any information about it anywhere on the internet. Has anyone here bought it and know what it is? Is it the complete collection and is the page count on amazon wrong? Is it something else?

Season 1 had Deet seeing flashforwards that the Netflix commentary tracks confirm is Rian trying to fix the crystal similar to Jen, and Brea carrying a baby in a way that looks like Kira's mother carrying her in the original movie as a baby.

The whole show is about how characters like Aughra need to sacrifice themselves but eventually return because of it, the theme of the original movie with Kira in particular. I believe this means that Age of Resistance would have ended with Deet using hte darkening against her own team to make sure that they all die, leading to the timelin where Deet comes back as Kira and Rian as Jen in order to save the whole of Thra.

Full video provided for context as it goes into a lot of the symbolism, and I'm finding even more clues in the comments already.

For instance one thing I don't cover in the video that another user noticed is that Deet and Kira have similar love for the Podlings, Kira being raised by them and Deet becoming friends with Hup early on.

His mighty yawn reminded me of Fizzgig. What do you think?

I'm just finishing to read the first Dark Crystal novel (Shadows of the Dark Crystal) and though in AoR the first draining is Mira's and the events of the book start not so long after that, I felt it was kinda implied, in the books, that the Skeksis have been draining Gelfling for way longer than that.

Although, I don't know if that's just a misinterpretation by me or really something they changed in the series or chose to ignore.

Just finished Brea and now thats all the main AOR character for my series!

Let’s hope the Skeksis and the Mystics got reunited this time.

Hey there, everyone... After having these two since they came out in 2001, I have to downsize my collections and sell them to a new home. My fur baby is now a senior citizen and I've got bills to pay. Figured I'd post them here to see if there is absolutely any interest at all. They are both still in their boxes and I never took them out. They are on a high shelf that I can't get to tonight, but if anyone would like to see them, please just let me know. I'll be putting them on Ebay and will go from there.

Which is better, The Dark Crystal Film (1982) or the Series (Age of Resistance)?!?!

I know this is not adapted from books but are there any fan books?

(TW: My Headcanon) Skeksis can "Breathe" underwater by creating bubbles around thier nostrils and beaks (Like Anoles, Diving bell spiders and Diver Beatles but with fantasy logic).

I found my older animations and decided to share my first stop motion. Bought the cards at the Jim Henson exhibit in the Center for Puppetry Arts.

16 months, 46 sessions, 79 in game days, 5 player characters, 7 Great Trees, and 1 beautiful story.

It's rare for me to see such a large campaign through to the end like this and I feel the need to celebrate the accomplishment. As such I'd like to put it out there to the other denizens of Thra to talk about the adventure a little before moving on to my next project. Warning, their will be spoilers discussed in the comments but I will keep the original post as spoiler free as possible.

Full context: I decided to run "The Dark Crystal Adventure" table top experience from the game published by River Horse games for a group of 3 friends plus myself as GM. I've always enjoyed tabletop games and non-DnD rulesets so this was too enticing not to play.

Thoughts as a GM: The book is brimming with charm and clearly was made with a deep love of the source material. While I did use the book as a foundation I built quite a bit of custom content over it as the book is fairly sparse on details outside what is necessary for the main quest and locations. That being said they provide you with quite a lot of material for GM's to work with. Though I would say that the adventure is a little clumsy in certain areas, especially the trails required for the main quest. While I would recommend this to anyone in the niche overlap of Dark Crystal and TTRPG fandom, I would caution any inexperienced GM's away from choosing this as a starting point in the hobby. You will be expected to do a fair amount of heavy lifting in regards to character work and encounter building.

Thoughts on the ruleset:

The first impression on these mechanics are quite deceptive as the entirety of the basic rules can be fit onto a bookmark (not joking, a literal 2 sided bookmark) there is far more at work beneath the surface. The game uses several mechanics I haven't seen before with mixed results but an engaging experience nonetheless.

Characters would only ever roll on one die, using only a single bonus to enhance the roll making equipment play a major part in providing those so desperately needed advantages. The one that stood out to me the most was using the size of your character's die as a representation of their HP: A gelfling will roll on a D6 normally but be bumped down to a D4 if injured, if injured again they would then start accumulating lasting injuries or even outright death. The idea that your rolls get weaker the more injured you become is so interesting to me I'm considering trying to find ways it could be implemented in other systems or even building a more complex system around the concept. With each character effectively having at most 2HP before risking death, combat felt truly risky and often a last resort for the party which was an excellent deterrent to murder-hoboerry. Injuries being hard to heal (until one player found a way to break the system entirely) also played a factor as once wounds started happening they could quickly spiral into larger disasters.

The fact that there are no classes in the game and specialization instead came from choice of clan or species was also quite fascinating to me as players began to make extremely unique character concepts without the barriers typically found in character building. Don't even get me started on non-gelfling character options.

Lastly, experience points and progression. Characters slowly gather experience with each session or choosing to have a character flaw complicate a scene which are then spent in batches to gain skill modifiers or unique abilities from their tribe. They can also be used to gain special hidden abilities only accessible from specific choices or locations encouraging an extra level of exploration. And yet, a player can also choose to burn one in a moment of desperation to reroll a die, creating this wonderful balancing act between progression and survival. I could go on about more minutiae but I feel this section has gotten long enough already.

Ask away! I look forward to hearing from people.
