I feel like by having a high school with all the violence of The Boys they kind of put a lie to the idea that the grown up heroes need to keep their misbehaviour at least somewhat discreet. Like, if The Seven are supposed to be the "good guys" that everyone looks up to, then how are these...

What you can and cannot do in any situation in Pathfinder pretty well defined by the actions you can take in most situations. There are still corner cases which can be hard to parse, even for experienced players and DM, but they are not a reason to not play. Like personally I am not entirely...

Yeah, if you were making your own encounters I would suggest eschewing extreme encounters entirely until you are comfortable with the system and the party. Even playing APs there are sometimes difficult encounters that make me feel like the designers did not know what they were doing (final...

Valid candidate for first movie I see in theatre since COVID started. So far I have missed Top Gun 2, Avatar 2, and while I would potentially see Barbenheimer I do not think I can handle a real double feature. But The Marvels could work for that distinction.

The single greatest flaw in Star Trek is the preponderance of time travel. And time travel is a hot flaming garbage trope most of the time.

I quit Twitter late last year and I recently told a friend that I was going to try and hold on for a year before seriously considering a replacement. I feel like I have been extremely out of the loop compared to what I used to be. And it can be good to have a reset in that way. But I do not...

@Dannyalcatraz nailed the thing that was so confusing to me about the trailer: I thought that Wonka having all of these confections that did insane things was supposed to revelatory and part of what was so exciting about winning the golden ticket. But he appears to be revealing his full hand at...

Surely Talos is dead dead, to contrast with G'iah being fake dead, and so that Maria is not a lone sacrifice.

I can only pray that one day Fallout 5 will feature a blonde, pink-clad nuclear scientist.

Pump it directly into my veins. I feel like maybe now I need to watch the rest of Rebels though if Sabine is going to be just a big part of this.

I wonder whether AI-plagiarism will affect fair use doctrine. AI bots "stealing" from creators is perhaps more a more discrete phenomenon than the way people also build on what has come before. But how different in kind is it really?

I have finally seen the movie. I enjoyed it, but it was middling in many ways. I am not sure how much of an impression it will have made in the long term. More than the first movie, though that is not saying much. I hope there is a sequel though. I feel like there is a lot of opportunity for a...

Yes, I did not turn on my computer a second time last night but I was thinking then and this morning just now that Seven is the perfect captain for the Enterprise in an age where half the crew have been Borg for "18 min" as the woman who was Borg for 18 years is "queen" .

Actually turned my computer back on for one more quick thought before bed: I think it would be almost criminal if we did not get some sort of follow up on the institutional carnage that Frontier Day must have wrought on Starfleet. The Borg nu-Drones, all of whom were, relatively speaking, under...

I have to be real with you, guys. If Henadic Theologian says something is true I am pretty sure it is false.

I think I have to disagree with @Umbran somewhat on the sciencing up of vampires. My Dad watches a lot of W Network and I am constantly hearing Neutrogena ads, "For people with skin," that make me think the next cool iteration of vampires could be skinless vampires . The Sun is deadly to them...

I just finished watching Season 3 with my Dad. I am kind of disappointed that after reading like the last 10 pages of the EN World Picard thread from the air date until now there did not actually seem like there was a heck of a lot about Picard. But if there is one thing I want to say is that I...

Classically we speak of roleplaying games as allowing you to imagine you are a powerful wizard, mighty warrior, or checks notes dragonman mcdragonface. But how often do people use RPGs to explore the fantasy of having children, or alternatively being child free for a little while?

I just read IGN for gaming news these days. I used to read GameSpot primarily for that but then they laid off a bunch of people I liked.

I am not asking as a matter of definition: obviously a dhampir is the offspring of a human and a vampire. Rather I am asking: what does that actually mean for the classic case of "vampire as turned human" ? The essence of a vampire is still essentially human as they are made from humans. But...
