I'd imagine most of the cartoons from that era have aged poorly.

I do want more of Kyle, the blond War College guy that was charmed by Jay-den, and . E3 was interesting, I'm still on board for more.

Daggerheart: Added player. Flashback. Marketplace shenanigans.

Yes, these are all feasible, but it still makes all these powers look clunkier and wordier. To compare it to MTG, the other card based game I love to play, it's the difference between having cards say "enters" over "enters the battlefield" or "Mill 2 cards" over "Put 2 cards from your library...

Probably just to keep the list as short as possible so that players and DMs aren't forced to remember them. Daggerheart in general seems to have made the conscious choice to take a simpler route when available. It occasionally annoys me ... the fact that they don't specify which weapons are...

Had my first session of Daggerheart for this year as we restarted the campaign after the holiday hiatus. Ended up using a few tier 2 adversaries from the book as a quick combat encounter (Alarune Queen, a couple of Young Alarune and a Lindwyrm). They worked well, a lucky roll on the spawn minion...

Admittedly, I had a bad experience with Solo at the theatres. The opening set piece on Corellia didn't show up properly, and so a lot of the dark scenes were practically a radio play. So by the time we get the Imperial recruiter calling him "Han ... SOLO", I more or less told the movie to eff...

I'd push back slightly and yet still agree, the choices of the players and DM influence tone. To step out of the frames and go back to DnD, Eberron is both pulp and noir and how a table goes can push to a darker, more noir vibe or go the other way and have a more heroic, swashbuckling and pulp...

So the Floating nacelles, programmable matter, all just meh? ... the problem is this is all just magic. Star Trek can already teleport, regenerate flesh, conjure food from nothing, fire bolts of energy that disintegrate the body and yet only leave an ash stain behind. So asking for more advanced...

Pants are just a straitjacket for the legs, more men should ditch pants. Kilts are awesome

I say this as a fan of Discovery, but the main thing I found sometimes challenging was how breathless Disco could be. We have to shoot this exposition sequence with spinning lights and camera, this character has to have a emotional crisis while we figure out how we're solving this week's plot...

Yeah, I'd like more content, especially the 100+ Adversaries and Environments that Hope & Fear are offering. But I'm still finding joy with the system.

The campus scenes are almost too busy. Like, I enjoy seeing Exo-comps that aren't Peanut Hamper and the Dots are fun, but there is a lot going on, and it's sometimes less "Feast for the eyes" and more "too much visual noise".

Right now I'd say I'm just a little lukewarm on Caleb. I dunno, the kids are all broad and standard school archetypes, and I'm gonna need some more nuance here. Either that or it's just my age showing, 'cause I'm liking the teaching staff. Holly Hunter has great energy, glad to see Oded Fehr...

Not bad. I dunno, these don't call to me, but I have no major objections either
