Yeah I’d prefer if this thread be spoilers for the show, not the books

For your first attempt, you want to do a 1st level basic adventure. Not a campaign, just the most basic start. A very simple start is "you all start in a bar, a person puts out a bounty to kill X monster, and the members of the party sign up". Your goal with your first several attempts is not...

Maybe I missed it in the 9 pages of discussion, but I think this poll is missing some attempt to ground the numbers. A simple 1-5 can have wildly different meanings to people. For example, I interpret a 1 as "basically whenever the party wants to rest they can rest". Whereas a 5 is "the party...

Hehe same. Those shows are roooough by today’s standards

I know there is also the scene when the queen flies her old jet and beats up some of the baddies

Yep this is my approach. 1 hp, and then if you use a fireball and they pass their save, they are up. They fail, they die. I use that rule in my current dnd game. For speed, you can also just use % probabilities. If there are 10 minions, and they pass the save 33% of the time, kill 7 and leave...

That's a Star Trek thing forever. For example I just happened to see a short clip where Polaski was explaining to Data what an "eager beaver" was. Star Trek has always used language and quotes from teh 20th/21st century "far more" than you would expect for a civilization so far advanced from...

Alright I breezed through the episode. So here is what I found. 1) Only the main guy and his kids do any signing, we never see it from the other Betazoids. 2) The two siblings only do it with their father. There is one scene where the 3 are together and they do it. The other is when they are...

Because that was established in the lore at the time. If Geordi in season 1 was able to see just fine, but then they introduced the visor in season 2.....you would probably have a few questions. Hey what happened to Geordi? That would be a reasonable thing to ask. Thats the concern here...

A d4 damage means that for jo smoe guy with no stats, a whip will knock a guy out 1 out of 4 times. And a couple of hit whips is going to knock a guy out most of the time. We are just used to weapons against monsters and larger than life heroes, but against the common folk they do already

being inclusive at the expense of consistency is not pretty cool, that’s what we are sussing out. Introducing an alien race that is deaf and uses sign language…sure 100%. That’s what Star Trek is all about. But taking a race we have seen on screen never use sign language (and telepathic to...

I played a binder. My dm had an intervention with me because my character was “so weak it was difficult to keep me included” and we came up with some house rules to make the class usable. Never ever happened before or since. The class was cool, but definately on the weak side.

We can nitpick OG 5e but the edition has been wildly successful. So it’s hard to look at that with the same lens of failure you are applying to other products.

Ok I’ll have to double check. If all the sign language is towards the dad than that tracks, but I thought some of the other Betazoids were using it with each other, which wouldn’t make sense

The biggest thing I saw on the webs that people are upset about (and this seems a legitimate criticism).....why are the Betazoids using sign language. They are....literally telepathic (not to be confused with Deanna Troi's emphatic nature for being a half-betazoid.) They can literally talk in...

nah. I grew up in a medical family, that's the kind of stuff we would talk about over evening dinner. hehe was definately a learning curve with my girlfriend who is extremely squeemish about medical stuff:)

2nd epsiode in, god do I love this show! Hehe man that turnaround with poor Mel. Thought we actually had someone who was going to ask her out and then she would be oblivious to it, not that he would take off and she would hit her head!!! Dr Santos and Langdon. I get the vibe that Santos is...

Second episode in. Continuing to like it. I really appreciate that they are actually using this new time period to create interesting new problems. Ok we are trying to rebuild the federation, how to bring the old gang back to the table. Things are familar but different, as was noted in teh...

One episode in, so far I'm enjoying it. The cadets were mostly likeable, I like the division betwen "academy mode" and "starship mode" in terms of operations. There's a strong emotional core that it establishes. I think Arcade and the Villain's back and forth was a bit too cheesy, but other...

Really its lvl 6 for their amazing save aura. Everything past that is pure gravy.
