I would recommend stopping where you are at right now before you go further. I am not a master mapper, but I have learned a few things over the years. For this type of map you want to go in the following order for features: High terrain (mountains, hills, plateaus, etc.) Rivers and Lakes (as...

Interesting. I agree that Kruthik are not very common opponents. I have never used them as I just see them as too on the nose in terms of the Alien/Aliens vibe. If I wanted to have an insect theme, I have always had giant insects of various sorts (although giant ants seem to be missing for...

Oh, and in many of my older games (like back in the dark ages), Lizardfolk (or Lizardmen and Lizard Kings as they were then) were a go to for me that was different from your average gnoll, goblin, hobgoblin or orc. Cheers :)

I am sure they do. I should have added on my list that skeletons and zombies are go to hordes for low levels in my games. And, with new options in 5E they can scale up a bit as well. Not sure if they are considered low enough (and rare enough) CR for this thread, but I also like ghouls...

Darkmantles and Stirges are a couple of favourites of mine. Kobolds certainly do come up as well (although I have been making them a PC race in recent campaigns). I will ditto on Twig Blights, can be thrown in any woodland setting for a surprise. In 3E I liked using Phantom Fungus...

I think you are reading too far into this topic. Let's see what actually rolls out from WotC in terms of settings before claiming that there is a different approach to settings now than before. The information presented suggests there may be a change, but the proof will be in the pudding. I...

Thanks for pointing that out. I have looked at that art several times and until you mentioned it the second cultist just blended into the form of the aboleth and I was just seeing it as shading on the illustration. Now that I have seen it, I cannot unsee it. Cheers :)

My take on that was Order 66 was a broadcast in the literal sense. It was sent over all possible channels and manners of transmission to ensure that all clones received the message and as many Jedi as possible were wiped out. Similarly, the propaganda video of Palpatine/Sideous from the Senate...

I will second this, but add the living room couch legs are neutral evil or chaotic evil at all times. My little toes can attest that day or night those legs are out to get me. Cheers :)

Yes, Jod almost comes across as a tragic figure. Almost. He is still a very flawed man, and dangerous, and not very nice (murderous even), but slightly more humanized for the final scenes here. Also as part of the stream of consciousness initial reaction, it seems that Rennod was all a great...

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Cheers :)

Also nice to see the New Republic being shown as competent and the good guys as compared to other series so far. I know that in other series the decline has to be shown for the overall dramatic history to unfold, but still nice here. Plus, this is still earlier than in Resistance and Sequel...

I quite enjoyed it as well. Lots of pay off to previously dropped hints (or outright open points). Plus, since we don't see all the bad guys die or get captured there is still the chance for a second season or some sort of follow up (whether the Filoni movie or something else). Cheers :)

Yup

And checked the previous episodes, no voice actor on record for the Rennod recording. It might be Fry, it might be someone else, anyone up to doing a side by side comparison if they have the capability? I am sure we will all find out in 6 days time. Cheers :)

Just looked it up. They could still pull a fast one on us, but the credits list the supervisor's voice actor as being Stephen Fry, British Actor, Comedian, Writer, etc. I don't think there was a voice credit listed for Rennod in the previous episode, but now need to check that. Cheers :)

Yes yes. That is what I get for not trimming the quote. :P Cheers :)

Hmmm ... That is not the ways my ears heard it the first time around. Now that you have mentioned it, however, I will have to go back and watch the episode again to check. Cheers :)

OK, so I was wrong about the Naboo influence on the ship. Close ups this episode made it look more like an ancestor of the U-Wing we see in Andor. But definitely not any of my guesses that it was an official Republic craft, and possibly from At Attin itself (if SM-33 is to be believed). Quite...

While likely true (I mean, only SM-33 seems to do any maintenance on the ship), I think it is more than that. I know you are likely joking overall, but there is some truth there as well. I suspect the old captain only trusted SM-33 to do the job to maintain secrecy (since mind wipes and memory...
