    Explosive math (second opinion welcome)

    Yes, that is the intent here. Running into an asteroid, a planet or a ship of the same (or larger) size. This is true, but the math gets complicated pretty quickly. I was trying to find an analog for a fireball. The damage of a fireball is quantified, meaning it is possible to theorize how...

    Explosive math (second opinion welcome)

    At first I thought you meant like the Delta rocket, rather than the formula. And it occurred to me that there have not been enough empirical studies of what happens when you ram 300-pounds of wooden Middle Ages ship into a stationary target. Really, it's just a gap in the literature. Anyway...

    Explosive math (second opinion welcome)

    Edit: I am open to comments, corrections and second opinions. So I’m working on an adventure involving flying a caravel through the astral plane at a high rate of speed, relative to the fixed geography of Earth. It then occurred to me, what happens if the crew runs the ship into a fixed object...

    Infinity War in your campaign (Spoilers)

    I meant what would the results look like in a fantasy world, not the MCU. Like, how would this shake out in the Forgotten Realms? In a place where undead exist, like vampires, and zombies, and shriners, and liches. Half the living sentient population dies, regardless of race, class, alignment...

    Infinity War in your campaign (Spoilers)

    So in Infinity War Thanos lectures everyone on the virtues of Uwe Boll. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I hope that is enough spoiler space. Joking aside, just as a thought experiment, how would you include the end of Infinity War in your game, assuming you chose to do so? The party is...

    Starfinder Starfinder Silliness

    I thought I was making that reference.... And just because only a few days may pass on Golarian, centuries might pass for the rest of the galaxy before Golarian reappears. That would explain why they keep trying to assassinate the shogun.

    Best Graphic Design / Layout

    What tabletop RPG product do you think has the best graphic design and layout? Why? This is an honest question and I am pursuing it in part for a school project.

    Starfinder Starfinder Silliness

    I don't think I follow. Are you talking about the Dr. Who episode where the Earth's moon was a giant space monster egg? That was a bad episode.

    Looking for a game/group; Tyler, Tx

    I am in grad school. Between that and life priorities I do not have as much time to game as I would like.

    Starfinder Starfinder Silliness

    So, what happened to Golarion? The Time War. The Last Great Time War happened to the planet. Either that, or it was that time that davros and the Daleks stole the grab bag of planets so they could destroy the creation. Citing the Time War is kind of a personal joke. Basically, anytime there is...

    D&D 5E What do you want from a lich?

    Part of the conceit of the book is that lichs do leave their lairs, they do get up and go out for a number of reasons. If they only stayed in their tombs, then the simple answer would be to brick up the entrance to the tombs and for everyone to get on with their lives. So these lichs do get...

    Is Azathoth, the daemon sultan at the center of the universe.....

    (shaking my head) It's not that simple. The Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) of 1998 extended copyright terms in the United States by 20 years. Copyright protection for works published before January 1, 1978, was increased by 20 years to a total of 95 years.

    Is Azathoth, the daemon sultan at the center of the universe.....

    ... in public domain? Seriously, is he, (it?) in public domain? I want to use Azathoth in something i am writing, but my research is getting mixed responses. Namely, it seems to be both copyright (by Chaosium) and in the public domain. Any thoughts? The same goes for Nyarlathotep.

    D&D 5E What do you want from a lich?

    What, you want something from this guy? Really? That more like it. More sensible. That was a good list. "Lich" is pronounced like "kitten." As in, "We are going to battle Acererak the Doom Kitten." Those are solid suggestions. The woods guarded by a druid lich would be... interesting.

    Gaming Podcasts

    Are there any good gaming podcasts you listen to and can recommend? These days about the only podcast I listen to is Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff. Dragon Talk is rather mediocre. Most of the others I used to listen to are defunct.

    D&D 5E What do you want from a lich?

    Hello all. What do you want from a book on lichs? I am revising and reworking a book on lichs, "Lords of Sorrow," which I first wrote 10 years ago. The new book will feature a range of powers and spells available to lichs, as well as some NPCs which might be plugged into a campaign. Given that...

    D&D 5E Epic Casting

    What are your thoughts on epic casting in 5E? As far as I know, there are no official rules for this in 5E. But it might be an issue for something I am working on with some friends in the future. What are your thoughts on what it should do, and what should be avoided?
