Have you watched the Man in the High Castle series?

A) What?
B) Never!
C) I had seen some of it.
D) I watched all of it.
E) I watched all of it, and want to turn it into a wargame.

If you answered E, what rules would you use? What scale?

yeah, 3 episodes but it didn't take. I was surprised because I am a Philip K. Dick fan (but have not read that book).

I just watched the first episode and enjoyed it. Then, I read about Dick's book and it sounds very different. In any case, it looks like a very interesting alternative history to wargame.

D) I watched 'em all and enjoyed them. The second season looks like it could be pretty weird. Read the Dick story about 10 years ago and really enjoyed it.

D) It was ok tv. Some great parts, some not so great.I am a big Rufus Sewell fan which helps. I am looking forward to the second season.

F. On my radar, but haven't seen it yet.

Winston Smith07 Aug 2016 10:14 a.m. PST

D. It was great, and I wish they would get off their duffs and show the second season.

David Manley07 Aug 2016 10:43 a.m. PST

c) Watched the first few, couldn't get excited over it, missed out on the rest

C. Watched the first one, thought it was OK. My wife and friend liked it a lot more than I did.

I may pick it up again, but I doubt it. I'm way behind on a lot of series I enjoyed a lot more than this one. So much TV, so little time- I didn't know how good I had it when I was a kid with two-and-a-half channels. grin

Watched it for 30 minutes and gave up. Plodding and obvious. Perhaps it got better later, but life is too short….

It wasn't great. Strangely, it was renewed for another season.

D , and loved the absence of trolls …

D. Unfortunately, the rest of the series never lived up to the excellent pilot. It was ok grin

I'm not much of a tv watcher. I've had it recommended though.

D. I enjoyed the series.

I hadn't thought of making it into a game, but to me it screams of a Table Top RPG.

EDIT: hmmm…now that I'm thinking of it, it would be a great hook for an adventure, whether it be fantasy, sci-fi, or any other genre.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP09 Aug 2016 11:48 a.m. PST

I enjoyed the book but cannot access Netflicks to watch the show.

Excellent series. Can't wait for its second season
