I bounced off Voyager really hard. Mostly a great cast and characters, but to my mind they squandered the majority of the potential of the premise in the pilot. Tim Russ as Tuvok was brilliant bust kinda wasted. He's incredibly funny. The EMH is great. Loved Torres...but that's a hell of a...

Well look at that. Who would have guessed overly complicated rules interact badly with each other? If only there was some obvious solution for everyone to pretend doesn’t exist.

Yep. One of my favorite DS9 episodes and easily a top 10 of all Star Trek. It’s the episode I use to get people hooked on DS9.

Yes, they absolutely are. The memo about supply and demand seems to have been mysteriously lost in the conversation about digital products. An infinite supply (which you get with digital content) should mean lower prices. Yet they're going up instead. You sign up with your library and can have...

I absolutely love when the PCs actually have agency and can change the world. To me that's the beating heart of RPGs. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Or utterly inexperienced players. It’s far easier to run things, I’ve found, as improv with dice rather than strictly by the book with new players. Experienced players would likely complain more about the experiment rather than help make things go smoother. Or rules light games. Not as much to...

I imagine that’s where games like Torg came from.

Yeah, there would be some sticking points where everyone participates but the systems are wildly different, like initiative or resting. The simplest solutions would be to either standardize those or ignore them. Standardize in the sense of impose one system on everyone, say B/X 1d6 sided-based...

Wild. My last thoughts on the idea were that you'd need to stick with the same or similar genre to avoid tonal whiplash. D&D is D&D after all. But old-school fantasy crossed with superheroes seems like it would be crazy to deal with. System-wise it wouldn't be that hard generally. Most systems...

Here’s a recent video from Sly Flourish about playing multiple 5E variants at the same table. The video reminded me of a thought experiment I was working on a few years back based on the story of Dave Arneson running players through a D&D game with players having characters from different...

That's a good channel. I like the original a bit better. The ladies pull no punches.

Yeah. Good idea.

Yeah, that’s a good idea. You could always buy some Masa Harina and make them yourself. It’s so worth the effort. Make sure your knife is sharp. Cut the stem-core out of the top with the point of the blade. Use that hole to half or quarter the tomato. Then lay the pieces skin-side down to cut...

If the content keeps moving and evolving, there’s no limit if I’m interested. If the participants keep repeating the same dumb argument loop, you couldn’t pay me enough to keep watching a thread. It usually only takes about 6-8 pages before the same old battle lines are drawn and the same...

From the description I was given it will be as mentioned in all the memes and videos. It's not an ironic white-people taco night. Cheddar cheese, olives, and store bought hard-shell tacos. I get the feeling if I brought something as basic as queso fresco I'd get funny looks. That's a good...

I’ve been invited to a white-people tacos event and I am conflicted. Do I make some actual Mexican taco fillings and bring them? Do I make corn tortillas to bring or buy some from a tortillería? If you don’t know what I mean, here’s an explainer.
