i am about 1/2 way through, looking forward to the review, and will same more then

At one job I would tell new hires: The quickest way to learn to do this right is to do it wrong.

I want to say too that I am glad I saw this thread. I want to start a local gaming club at the library. And one of the things i want to do is create a GMing course for any who are interested. This thread helped reinforce the idea that I need to define terminology I want to use in my...

I agree 100 about the need to define terminology, especially in RPGs. I learned this lesson from watching 30 years of the the Nebraska Unicameral Legislature, in particular my favorite Senator, Ernie Chambers. He frequently hammered home the crucial idea that in order for a law to be enforceable...

I am both bummed and delighted. Equal parts. First, cause I am sure this thread will level off in the next week or two, thank you to all who participated in this thread. I loved reading all the speculations, and I just loved being involved with a long thread, basically from the beginning of the...

So this thread brought me back to an interest in tropes and using them for gaming as I mentioned a couple pages back, but one i forgot till the discussion of "Jedi and Order" starring Lenny Brisco as a tough but lovable master, was that of sitcom. At one point I was trying to figure out the...

so you are emotionally attached to something? ;)* Id say there is a difference between competency and "stupid". All of the jedi we've seen in the Acolyte are very competent, at their jobs. They know very well how to handle lightsabers, and the force. We see that. They can fight as well. Indara...

I am not concerned with the other live action shows. I am talking about the acolyte, in an acolyte thread. Alternatively, I think the point about the Jedi from the beginning is that they were stupid, short sighted, and thought they were the ones to bring balance to the Force*. It is the Hubris...

You call them acting stupid. I call them being flawed. Because that is what I see. People making suboptimal choices because of things we dont' know about their past. There is a good example, I think, in this series alone. When we first see the Jedi entrance scene to the Coven. Indara seems...

this is my only real point here. Sol is human, that is obvious. hell he screamed "I am not emotionally attached" if that don't scream emotional attachment, I don't know what does. AND that is what I love about this whole show. It shows us people in a system, and both the people and the system...

that sounds like a season 2 to me!!!

i'd say it is because they are in a story, and that is what the story wants. That may not work for you and your wife. Alternatively, I mean, how many of us, outside of a nerve wracking experience would have acted "smarter". I know there are many instances in my life when stress was high, that...

totally true. We don't know she talked with the JC, but she at least said she did, and initially refused to interfer with the coven. I was impressed with that. It puts both her and the JC in a better light than it appeared at the beginning of the series. I appreciated too that Sol had to...

Indara did not entertain the idea of interfering (which I think is cool of both her and the Jedi) until they came to the notion of a vergence. They were specifically tasked with finding those. I can see that take priority (perhaps unfortunately), but she still acted outside the council's orders...

Wow. Loved it. Basically what I expected. An ever escalating series of cluck ups. No one is to blame (as the zen masters say) they all pulled on the thread, and it created this messed up situation. I had a thought. Sol clearly wants a student in this episode. We see that about him. I think...

I rewatched the latest episode and just so much good stuff. The soundtrack is a tone poem if ever there was one just fantastic. And i particularly watched the "Sith" scenes. They are the reverse of the Empire Strikes Back scenes, but start off the same. Both Yoda and Qimir start off as...

Yea, i'll agree with Andor, it was the weakest of my points. I should have listed it first, then obiwan then ashoka. In fact the only part I really ever watched of Ashoka was the parts with Anakin. I found it interesting from a jungian psychological angle. Otherwise, I could have cared less...

And I disagree with this. I don't think it is pathetically short, nor lacks connective tissue for the plot. I am invested in these characters, and the story they are in. I find the show both engaging and has emotinal depth. I feel the tensions they are creating between Sol, Mae, Osha, Qimir, as...

im just going over those rules. i read it as a d6 for every DSP you have, and you have to roll less than you DSP. Regardless, the Planet of the Apes d6 variant has me going back to D6 for Star wars, and I am redoing the DSP thing into a simple path system linking Hero Points and Dark Side Points.

i think i missed this
