I actually didn't know that lightning was "that weak". I had often thought about the idea of lightning capture for power use, and thought the main problem was the actual capture and storage. Not that "lightning is actually so weak that its not worth doing".

Minions and bloodied is completely core in my game. In my game, monsters and PCs are either fine, hurt, bloodied, or unsconscious/dead. So PCs aren’t allowed to tell each other “I’ve lost 20 hp” it’s “I’m hurt” or “help I’m bloodied”

Some more notes: 1) while bastion might have hammed up the whole alien overlord angle…the truth is the X-men DID LIE about Xavier’s death. 2) with a snap of his fingers magneto just turned off civilization like a light switch. He’s not a man…he’s a god. Yeah how can normals possibly be...

The new episode is another banger! The new sentinels (if bastion is to be believed) represent more than just a threat, they are a symbol. This isn’t just some crazy villain doing some evil scheme…this is regular people. Fathers and mothers (as we saw in one scene), reporters and just regular...

another great mini to add to the table!!!

My original critique with the Netflix show (which may be a replication error from the books I don’t know) isn’t that the 3 body problem as outlined isn’t realistic. I can buy it as much as any sci fi concept. It’s that the show seems to weirdly make a big deal about it without narrative payoff...

Again simply incorrect. There are a number of worlds that host heightened seismic and volcanic activity, that could lead the way for periodic "catastrophic events". In fact, the issue is not finding a planet that has periodic catastrophes, those are everywhere. The issue is finding a world that...

Of course it does. We even talk about supervolcanoes on earth that could erupt and ruin civilization. All you need is a world where those kick off every so often and you could get the exact same effect.

just the series, hence why I was curious if AP's version goes inot that more as a part of the narrative. Just to further refine this, its also the question of "explain" vs "know". The second one is easier. Our current scientific models have definitively answered that as "no...you cannot in...

I do think the ending might be somewhat upsetting for some western viewers (what that's it!!!), but I also think this is a difference with eastern vs western storytelling. One thing I've noticed is that western cultures tend to like stories that "complete". There's a true beginning, middle, and...

My issue (at least with the netflix one and I'll be curious of the AP one has the same issue). At the end of the day, the "3 body problem" isn't really that relevant to the story. The world simply has a series of calamities so that it goes through periods of stability and instability, and now...

One other interesting thing in this episode. Morph has showcased physical abilities with his shifting before like super strength (through a big muscled body) or wings like angel. But he’s never demonstrated super speed before. So i guess he can literally do anything that involves body motion...

I wonder if Sebastian Shaw is dead if frost made it out? On the one hand his power should have absorbed all of the damage from the following debris. And then likely could have blasted his away out. But it’s also possible it was so much debris that he actually suffocated

So if we putting on our business glasses, there are a few key factors: On the one hand, the rated R deadpool has worked. Its made killer money for both 1 and 2. Why rock the boat. On the other, stats show time and time again that R rated movies tend to underperform compared to PG-13...

Personally if they want to keep psions as just "reskinned magic" than the subclasses are a perfectly fine way to go about it imo. If they actually want to justify the design space for a new class....than it should have new spellcasting mechanics. Otherwise what's the point?

I mean at the end of the day a LOT of discussions are going to happen in the process of making anything costing millions of dollars. And of course Disney as the brand of a family friendly company is going to have people start the conversation with "PG 13 is ideal". But it looks like for one...

Well the need 5.5 is going to provide CORE classes, so I wouldn't expect any new ones there. Subclasses are likely the best you can hope for initially, and then maybe in the next splat you might get a psionic caster.

For those who need a TLDR, here is the blackbox AI summary of the video. Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins discuss the new revised Players Handbook in a fireside chat. They have announced some art for the book, showcasing the Fantastic art throughout all three books. They are currently in the...

I think the fact taht he still held the cross is the answer...that old version of himself was a dream. Now is it possible he went to the bottom of that lake and found the cross, sure its possible. But I think its more likely meant to show that in reality he had to start letting Mariko go, vs...
