So, the first two episodes of Discovery Season 5 are out. This is the final season of episode 5. In case anyone was shying away from Discovery because they disliked the "Federation falling apart and being a shadow of it former self" - this apparently is overcome by now, the Federation is back...

Currently tinkering with a homebrew system that involves rolling lots of d6 (kinda like various Shadowrun editions, which is also something I would use it for, if it ever becomes more than just some fun exercise). One minor aspect I thought about when starting to make some vehicle rules: Has...

Recently stumbled upon a new Star Wars fan film. This one might be particularly neat for people that are all about the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, or maybe the new Squadrons game. It's on the longer side of fan movies, short over 50 minutes.

I watched Season 1 and I enjoyed it a lot, but I agreed with the criticism that the Foundation/Salvin storyline was much weaker than the Empire stuff. Season 2 however so far has been amazing in all story arcs. You barely even notice when Lee Pace doesn't even appear because the other story...

The Star Trek Prodigy main title was recently released: https://intl.startrek.com/news/star-trek-prodigy-unveils-opening-title-sequence The main title didn't excite me at first, but it starts to grow on me. It also gives us another look at the ship (USS Protostar, NX-76884. The NX...

Or should it be Star Wars: Danger Zone? And here we are, still waiting for a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game. Or maybe at least an X-Wing TV Series? If you forgot why it could be worth waiting for:

The Witcher series is coming out soon. I've read the books and played the game, so I am eager to see what Netflix delivers. They just posted some Character Introductions.

Anyone else here watching Dark on Netflix? It's a German Netflix show, so that might be a bit of a turn off because it means dubbing or subtitles. (I've heard the Season 1 dubbing was bad, but they might have reworked it and season 2 is allegedly better. I haven't tried.) It involves missing...

I just watched the new Netflix "Limited" series Maniac, and it was awesome. I was well entertained. If you like things to be a bit weird, and feeling sometimes a bit lost on what's really going on, if you like alternate reality stories, 80s retrofuture tech, or if you like Emma Stone and Jonah...

So, is anyone else playing Battletech? It's been quite addictive for me. Though I've finished the campaign last week, so I figure I'll play it a bit less often now. Unless I decide to experiment seriously with some modding.

I watched Episode 3 on Netflix today. Very interesting episode. It is kinda the "real" pilot of the show, since we finally get to meet the main cast (most of them at leastß) and the main ship. Their "new way of travel" is really something new. We kinda know it doesn't quite work out, since...

Seems like Circvs Maximvs is inaccessible today. :( Anyone know anything?

Anyone still remember Interplay's Descent series? A true 6-degrees of freedom shooter playing mostly underground in huge, complex maps, infested with "evil" mining robots? Well, there is a kickstarter for a new game: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/descendentstudios/descent-underground...

Information on the Good Old Games website: http://www.gog.com/news/new_publisher_disney_interactivelucasfilm For me the important titles are X-Wing and particularly TIE Fighter. I still think if they took a modern graphics engine and replicated the exact mechanics of these games and missions...

Thanks to the D&D Character Builder, I was reminded of an entity "The Daughter" that offered a variant of the Infernal Pact - I would like to reread the history, but I can't seem to download the article itself or the Dragon Issue containing the article. I still have a valid DDI subscription...

I don't want to spoil anything. But it's great. There is a demo, that uses nothing from the game itself, and might get you a feeling what kind of game it is. Or not. I have yet to play the demo, but after having played the game and knowing the demo is bascially seperate content, I want to play...

Forum upgrade! Neat! But as any good customer that is bothering to post in the Support area of the forums, I am here to complain, whine and moan. :) On many (all) thread titles in a forum listing, you see a colorful icon indicating the general nature of the topic. Maybe it is just because I am...

A random idea occured to me - I've really rarely seen people pick up the multiclass feats for swapping powers. It just never seems worth it to sacrifice a feat slot for a power that is not that much better than one you already have. So I wonder, what could be done to make them a bit more...

More specifically. Spell Durations expressed in time units like rounds, minutes, hours and so on? I am asking because I don't. 4E had largely done away with them - stuff lasted either one encounter, or until the start or end of someone's turn, until a save occured, or until you ended an effect...

So, we've discussed a lot about 15 minute adventure days, novaes, and general unspecialness of fighter abilities in past editions. Here's my take on some abilities I could see a high level fighter have to get similar "nova"ing potential and utility potential as a spellcaster and to get some...
