It’ll all be on YouTube at least.

Heh. They are all super big meaty things with multiple books and boxes and stuff. Nobody's really made a slimline version, we all went for the same box set. I guess, if you know 5E well and are comfortable running a one-shot with it, they're all 5E. You can probably ignore the obligatory...

That launch was pretty cool. I was watching it on the BBC and I kinda wished the presenters would just stop talking and filling air with nothingness, as I'd rather have just listened to the NASA comms (fortunately they did that at T-5 and didn't start babbling nothing again until a few minutes...

Once upon a time leeches has a lot of errors when used in medicine, and people didn't make a lot of noise how you couldn't possible trust it. And people used it anyway, and lots of people died, and people stopped using it over time. We can all do that little rhetorical trick to prove why...

It also feels good to go to the moon!

In other news, Artemis launches in a couple of hours! I plan to stay up late and watch it.

If you can make Mars habitable, you can definitely make Earth habitable for a lot less money. And while climate change is bad, and has the potential for massive consequences worldwide, it’s not going to make Earth less viable than Mars.

Thanks! I'll add that to the article!

Not that I want to turn this into a D&D thread, but I'm with @SlyFlourish and view 5E as the broader ruleset/system, and D&D as WotC's branded version of it. So these games are all 5E, but they're not D&D. And D&D is also 5E, but it's not, say, Esper Genesis.

Oof. I hadn't looked at that. It has a badge saying UK Friendly Shipping, but it will cost me $89 to ship the $99 starter bundle (which is just one book and a set of dice). Ouch. That's rather ruled me out. It doesn't say what it would cost to just ship the book.

Well by that logic we should only research one thing ever. Whatever gives the highest ROI. We should not research anything which gives a lower ROI than that one thing. Bad news, folks, all research in the world will now solely be on the effervescence of Fizzy Sharks.* *I have no idea what...

Going back as far as 1980's Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, science fiction and D&D have always had a connection. Barrier Peaks was a D&D adventure by Gary Gygax which featured a crashed spaceship, robots, and ray guns. The player characters were regular fantasy D&D characters, but the unusual...

(Also you appear to have accidentally posted this twice, so I merged them for you!)

Is it AI powered?

As far as I know, it's mainly focused on satellite launches and research. It's sent a few astronauts up on US space flights, and built parts of US space vehicles, and Branson has (had?) some commercial sub-orbital stuff going on, but no human launch capability of its own. Also the UK is at a...
