I feel like some "problems" start if you assume anyone has the ability to achieve relativistic speeds. What if they don't? Battletech jump ships are actually perfect for that, as are Stargates. You have a mobility cheat code, basically. None of these ships achieve relativistic speeds in any...

Never read the book, but the series so far has been very enjoyable. There were some points where I worried that they might lose me, but it turned out mostly okay. (Some suspension of disbelief is still required, it's sci-fi.)

Me neithr, but that probably means that it was just cut from the LotR movie script just like Tom Bombadil, right?

I love that they are doing what they feel enthusiasm for and not just painting by the numbers. I hope they'll always be able to do so. Sure I'd love a BG3 DLC or BG4 for them, but if the skill and enthusiasm they showed for BG3 is going to be funneled into a new game, the new game is likely...

Lego D&D? We have Lego D&D at home: . . . Lego D&D at home: https://www.bluebrixx.com/img/items/105/105539/600/105539_1.jpg https://www.bluebrixx.com/img/items/101/101857/1000/101857_1.jpg https://www.bluebrixx.com/img/items/101/101979/600/101979_1.jpg...

I picked the correct choice, but I have a definite soft spot for the D. It has some amazing curves and the way its interior as luxury liner aesthetics make it really feel like being the result of an advanced civlization at its peak. Also, phaser banks make for a great futuristic weapon look...

The game procedure changes for the player, and I think that changes the mental load. Basically think of a player here as just wanting to declare: "I attack". If the player has two at-wills, he has to declare which of these attacks to use. Abd technically, everyone has a third attack, the basic...

I don't remember off-hand what A-Level exams are exactly and what would be the German school's equivalent, so I am not sure if this is the correct description. But from German school grades 1 (youngest/earliest) to 10 (oldest/latest), we use a 1-6 grading system. At the "Oberstufe" from 11 to...

Rolling high means the top end is open-ended, without getting into oddities with negative numbers. You're really good at something? You get a big bonus on your dice roll, or roll more dice! It's really hard? You must also roll a really big number! And you can always stay with positive...

For self-buffs, probably. I remember our 3E game always included morning and pre-combat buffing phase where the casters would boost everyone to maximum capacity. These mechanics of course also contributed to "CoDzilla", but also made Fighters, Rogues, Rangers or Barbarians and similar...

I know that cancelling the subscription doesn't remove my account. But I was thinking about what if amazon decided to do it, say, because I participated in a lawsuit against them? Surely, that's just absurd paranoid thinking...

Maybe they did check, realized what the lawsuit and possible compensation they would have to pay would cost them, and said it's still a good deal? One thing I am realizing is - I probably don't need Prime for anything, I am stil lin the habit of collecting stuff I want before I make an order...

The flaw basically was that spell saving throws were also dependent on spell level in 3E, so even though you could get these spells possibly even earlier, they weren't as likely to stick. And particular enchantments tend to be "save or suck" spells. You don't get a consolation prize like for a...

The 3E Bard was kinda the closest you got the 4E Lazylord. You were singing to make everyone else more powerful, but our yown attacks weren't that impressive. Only drawback was that it didn't boost pure spellcasters much (except they were powerful enough to not need it). Maybe the missed...

The system I am fiddling around with is a bit inspired by some Shadowrun concepts, more specifically 3E. 3E had a lot of flaws, but what I liked was the combat pool system. You had a combat pool which you could spend from to add dice to attack rolls, to try to dodge an attack, or to help you...

My game heavily features the absence of elves! What less could you need?

Since Shatner came from the theatre, isn't his acting very likely in fact Shakespearian? But maybe theatre acting isn't what you expect on TV (anymore)... ;)

Ah, so there is where to look it up? Reminds me of my problem when I did my own D&D 4 based Star Wars system (which I actually used at the virtual game table with my group) or my 4E based Arcana Unearthed game (which I not sure I'll ever use, despite all the work spend on it): Since I based it...

Yeah, I remember two things that bothered me about 13th Age: 1) The Icons were an interesting mechanic, but where very setting dependent and it's not exactly the setting I want to play in, and adapting it to a different setting seemed non-trivial. 2) A lot of abilities are only usuable if you...

I enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect, I am not sure I dig Echo that much. But I dig the atmosphere, the native story, and the whole deafness thing was very interesting. ALlo, what I also liked - the show suggested that the glowy light is a kind of healing magic, and I liked the idea of beating the...
