    I think it's simply a matter of finding a needle in a haystack - by accident. There are really a lot of stars just within the galaxy. Figuring out what kind of properties they all have, how they relate to each other... Maybe Federation star charts actually contain this system - but no one...

    Doctor Who (2020) - spoilers!

    So, now the "secret" is out about the true nature of the Doctor. I know a lot of people hate it aggressively so, is that the reason there were no new posts in a while? ;) I have some mixed feelings. I kinda liked the idea that the Doctor was a special Timelord because of the choices (s)he made...

    Considering that they couldn't really communicate before to that level, can we say Spock had the Horta's consent to perform a mind meld? And we can probably all agree that Valeris was not consenting when Spock conducted a mind meld to get information about the anti-Klingon Alliance conspiracy...

    I am not sure. The interesting aspect is that Soji wasn't investigating some advanced Borg tech or anything. She was looking into the Romulans that got assimilated. So maybe the Artifact is really just the backdrop, basically, something that uniquely affects the characters and is very particular...

    Really liked this episode. This is the first time that Picard set foot on a Borg Cube since the Best of Both Worlds, and they gave it the weight it deserved. I also really liked Rios here, and maybe we got more insight into him then before, the way he deals with Raffi and Agnes. (He's empathic...

    Star Wars: The High Republic - a new publishing campaign

    Well, I based my system on 4E, and so I have hit points. The only time you are actually definitely hit in the fiction of my system is when you're bloodied or reduced to 0 hit points. So as long as trained Jedi has a lot of hit points, he isn't really being hit. (I specifically have a wounds...

    Star Wars: The High Republic - a new publishing campaign

    Write me one where all characters are overpowered, but thematically, the Jedi do more crazy acrobatics and fun stuff with light sabers and lightning and telekinesis, while the rest is awesome in a Han shoots first way or Boba Fett way. Though you don't need to, I already made my own Star Wars...

    Star Trek Picard SPOILERS thread

    She is part of the crew of the ship for now. She even gets to use the transporter, which can be a far higher security risk than shutting off an EMH. The EMH is... an emergency program. If a crew member says there is no emergency to take care off and turns him off, he better do exactly that. We...

    Obi Wan Kenobi the most powerful Jedi?

    Maybe Anakin didn't? After all, he was more of a pessimist, with him seeing Padmé die and all that stuff.

    It is a possibility that he's just a hologram, too, but the other possibliity is that whatever happened on his old ship meant that he had lost a lot of people and thus fears surrounding himself with real people, particularly people he likes. (He seems to complain a lot about his holograms)...

    Borg Cubes do that, but one Borg Cube also blew up 39 Starfleet vessels and had sustained practically no damage. Borg technology might not be quite what we're operating at. Logistics and structural engineering are complicated. "Hey, we can build bridges over rivers, so why not just simply build...

    Could I get some eyes on my Kickstarter page?

    I would definitely advertise the deck plans more prominently if you also want non-WOIN players (or GMs) to get interested. E.g mention it in the first 2 paragraphs. I actually backed WOIN back then and have the core rules, but I never played it, and chances are slim that I will get to play or...

    I believe some estimates on the size of Starfleet gave something like 9,000 to 30,000 ships as reasonable numbers (30,000 was a guesstimate given by Ronald D.Moore), which could be including anything from Danube Class Runabouts (evacuation limit: 15 people perhaps?) to Galaxy Class Cruisers...

    Yeah... beat over the head is really not a thing Star Trek could dare to do... Certainly not.

    Today's Hot Take Theory: Fast & Furious Edition

    Vin Diesel apparently said that the next Fast and Furious movie would need to be a two-parter based on the story ideas he had. Someone on reddit speculated that FF 10 Part I or Part II might end with the Necromongers invading Earth and killing every single human, except Dom, who learns that...

    Today's Hot Take Theory: Fast & Furious Edition

    It's canon, Spock never talked about his half-brother or adopted sister either, and didn't even mention that Sarek what his father when Kirk and Spock were standing right in front of him. Makes sense that Dom could do the same.

    Well, we know they asked the Federation for help, so I conclude that they did not have the ships.They had ships, but not enough. I am not entirely sure the figure of 900 Million people is how many they had in total on the planet, or is how many they couldn't evacuate on their own. A thing to...

    No, the freedom to choose does not mean he is a person. That is what you interpret into it, but at the point of the verdict, it really only means that he can choose not to be dismantled. Everything beyond that would require additional rulings, court decisisons, and laws. And it only applies to...

    Star Trek Picard SPOILERS thread

    The dream in the beginning seems also very symbolic, both foreshadowing things that are going to happen, and "backshadowing" what happened in the past (and is explained to us later). Picard is acting angry or surprised that Data's bet would mean betting everything that Picard has - Picard bet...

    New Star Wars is High Republic?

    High Republic... That could be useful for my own Star Wars campaign as era title for the REpublic. "Old" Republic just doesn't always cut it.
