Nope, khoravar are a separate species, and always have been.

I don’t know, us random school teachers need to have a pretty versatile skillset.

I was just role playing as Wes Anderson posting in a thread about Wes Anderson, in the style of Wes Anderson.

Cats, can use boots.

It's not just a matter of pronunciation. It's quite possible for a bad reader to break a book, or a good reader to make it, irrespective of accurate pronunciation. I'm currently trying to listen to an audiobook of Revelation Space, and the reader is pretty bad, flat and monotonous.

He knows he is a prisoner, and that is why he wants to escape. Indeed, one of the ways he is tormented by the possibility of escape that it is just beyond his reach. But it is not impossible for a dark lord to escape: Vecna, Azalin, Soth have all escaped one way or another.

I think it's quite well known that Fincher had a lot of interference with this, and it isn't the movie he wanted to make. I'm not exactly a Fincher fan, and I though Gone Girl was pretty bad (but that goes for the book too), but I'm willing to let him off the blame for the terribleness that was...

I was assuming they were referring to visual media, not the written word, where the skin colour of characters is often left unspecified. But when it comes to movie villains, they aren't just white, they are usually British too, with an American hero. Is this perceived as anti-British? No...

Respect is earned. It is not acquired automatically by accumulating years.

Technically, the critical role classes are treated as 3PP on DBB now.

And the hero. And 99% of all the other characters in the movie. If there is a character who isn't white or straight, they are probably a sidekick who dies tragically.

It might be worth mentioning that White Dwarf magazine in the early 80s regularly covered Traveller, including suggestions on running the game, and generic (ie not Third Imperium) adventures and stuff. Travellers’ Journal was mostly Third Imperium focused.

I do feel that people are too frightened to talk about death. We all die, if you treat it as casually as eating and pooping it takes away the fear.

You are kind of getting into real world belief systems here, so I'm being a bit cautious about the sites restrictions on talking about religion, but some people believe in something called Actualisation. Now, its always dangerous to try and describe something believed by others that you do not...

I never had any problem with the skill system.

I have noticed that audiobook readers sometimes pronounce things wrong themselves though.

We are pretty much all similar ages on this forum around (40-60).
