I will also throw out the obligatory "Superhero Fatigue" which I think is a factor in your number 4 above. The movies are becoming kind of samey, and while your hard core fans are always going to tune in, the larger audiences that gave you billion dollar movies are hungry for something new...

That was one big thing about Man of Steel. I like Amy Adams but I did not feel any chemistry with her and Cavill. The new superman and lois seemed a much better fit for each other.

That article is sorely in need of some examples. Ok people have flocked to these new 5th generation games.....what are they? A picture is worth 1000 words and an example 10,000.

I mean....its Predator. What are you looking for a Shakespearean drama? Its a young coming of age story about a Predator wanting to prove themselves by taking on one of the greatest challenges their kind can face. Finds an unlikely ally who they build a bond of trust with. Pretty classic story...

... you literally included the note that 3e is where the high con character took off in the quoted post. I was agreeing with you!

When we talk about including monsters that can kill at 0, that usually comes with two caveats: 1) Its not every monster. We are talking about including a few special monsters that use this effect. Not tossing out the death and dying rules wholesale. 2) Its a medium to high level inclusion. 5e...

I am saying that, as you said in the posted I quoted, 3e started making big con a true thing. But I added in that I think that kind of "big con" style mostly stayed with 3e, and fell away in 4e/5e. In 4e the HP boost didn't scale as much, and in 5e with your more limited stats you rarely see a...

The part your missing is all of the tension before you hit 0. In the current system, there is basically zero tension until a player drops unconscious (assuming we are in the 6+ level range where massive damage has virtually no chance to kill a PC anymore). Now your right, once you hit 0 hp it...

And I would argue stayed with 3e for the most part. Now what 4e/5e inherited was always have a "decent" con score, 14 being common. You don't want a low con, and so con is everyone's "second favorite stat". But the days of 20-30 con from 3e I rarely see nowadays....maybe the barbarian but its...

What Q is a "do as I say, not as I do" kind of dad. Who would have thought?

In terms of death at 0, I think it’s one of those things that when well telegraphed is a great ability at mid levels. And at high levels no telegraph needed, at that point anything goes. 5e death rules are very very forgiving, no issue with shaking it up every now and then

You mean those soelljammer academy weapons? I think they’re great. Not only does it make sense in world (an organization provides its soldiers weapons that can’t fall too much into the wrong hands). But it gives the players the chance to enjoy an over the top weapon while in the adventure, but...

I have to agree. I mean JMS will always have my eternal gratitude for B5, but honestly I haven’t really liked any of his other writing work. JMS had one brilliant show, most people get none, but I don’t think he’s the consistent talent you need for doctor who

My thing about ads is….ok I can take a few commercials….but for Pete’s sake give me different ones. I will often see the same exact ad two or even three times in the course of a streaming episode. Like come on people do you only have one sponsor?

Yeah that was my thought, that it was a quarantine procedure and they moved the other patients. Which considering live gorn might be born I could buy
