One of the PCs got poisoned on the very first action of a fight with a big scary scorpion, and spent the whole fight heroically trying to fight off its effects. Despite his an his colleagues' best efforts, he finally succumbed to the venom (on the final round of needing to save), a round after...

Thursday: Scorpion. Oh no, dead halfling!

If you are expecting me to eat the pizza, then damn right I am "that guy" about what goes on my portion. Luckily my local pizzeria does half-and-half so it rarely an issue. This is me also. My finger hovered over the jalapeños button for a few seconds before I added another meat option instead...

They're not, but the Pathfinder and Starfinder scenario titles seem like they are the wrong way around!

They have never been otherwise. They were introduced in DS9, but their first appearance in in-universe chronology was in Enterprise so your point still stands.

That is what they say there mission is. What they actually do is imperil the Federation over and over again (with a side order nearly wiping out all life in the galaxy at least once). I do not want HMMHC to be justified in any media, and least of all in Star Trek. Real Starfleet officers...

It does not need to be a spoof to be about honest Starfleet officers foiling Section 31's machinations, as long as the writers remember that s.31 are the villains. But I do worry about their name being the show title might lead to the writers forgetting that. It could be fine, good even, but I...

When? As far as I can recall, every time they show up they royally screw everything up and the more honest/competent Starfleet characters have to clean up their mess. That does not suggest being "necessary" to me. An update of "they're still planning it" is not much of an update. I will worry...

I liked it too, and so I am assuming did quite a lot of people did too or they would likely not have made seasons 2 and 3. People who disliked season 1 (and/or 2) tend to be very loud about it, but don't mistake noise for majority. To me, that's what makes them such great villains! I was a bit...

The "it" I was referring to was the confusion (amongst people in threads on Internet forums, but hopefully not anyone who is actually dealing with it for real) between "Intellectual Property" and "Product Identity", which are vastly different concepts with very similar initialisms. Hopefully...

Having spend the previous five chapters of Shattered Star gathering the pieces of the eponymous artifact, we witnessed its assembly at the start of chapter 6. To the complete surprise of some of the characters but exactly none of the players, its assembly lead to the proverbial hitting the fan...

Thursday: Artifact assembled. Bad stuff. Surprise! Sunday: Short session. Chapter's end. Children.

I kinda wish they had not used the term Product Identity for exactly that reason. OTOH, it only confuses armchair commentators in threads like this (and even then only some of them - so far I am an armchair commentator, and I always understood the distinction). So maybe it does not matter.

Personally I have always found Pathfinder's art to be a bit too cartoonish for my tastes, but I cannot say I have noticed any trend of its getting more so.

I realised that it is a long time since I posted in this thread and its counterpart, and it has been an eventful couple of weeks: Since most of our gaming has remained online since COVID, we decided to arrange a few face-to-face sessions as extras, and coinciding with people's birthdays seemed...

Saturday: Birthday Starfinder didn't last long. Sunday: Ship stuck in sargasso. Hordes. Thursday: Dead dragon. Chapter end. Argument. Sunday: Long swim back to ship.

It is cheaper to get one of the lower levels than to buy the PDF of the beginner's box on its own. By quite a lot.

The "straight up fact" is that nobody in this thread is gaslighting anyone else. Gaslighting requires an intimate relationship, and involves a betrayal of trust from someone who the victim ought to be able to trust the most, with the aim of the victim doubting their own sanity. Nobody in this...

I don't want to put words in @Enevhar Aldarion's mouth, but I think they were suggesting that they usually can assume that at the game table, and they do not like any game setup where they cannot because it gives the creeps plausible deniability/a place to hide. Not everybody has the luxury of a...

I wonder why that could possibly be... ...ah yes, that would cover it. People generally dislike being sealioned. There seems to be some cross-purposes talk going on. The OGL was the draft (albeit fairly obviously a final draft). The "sweetheart" contracts that accompanied it (and were not...
