I mean, in 616 Blackbeard is canonically The Thing who got lost in time and got a bit confused.

Earthdawn has Obsidimen weighing in at an average of 900 lbs and Windlings at 13, which is a factor of 69 (nice!). I'm not at home so I don't have Arcana Evolved/Unearthed available to check what the difference between leveled-up giants and faen are.

I wasn't implying that, I was prefacing my own post with a warning to take it as a starting point and not as the sum of knowledge on the topic.

Huh. I wonder if that time thing is going to be like "Avengers Assemble" that was teased for several movies before it was actually spoken.

Yes and no. We'd almost certainly have a lot fewer of them, and not because they self-Darwinate. One should generally be careful when extrapolating from animal experiments to humans, but there are still things one can observe. There's a classic experiment when rats were given access to buttons...

I don't know what they'll do in the new incarnation, but the old Lorwyn was focused on creature types – what was then called "tribal" and now called "typal" I believe? So you had goblins in black and red, elves in green and black, faeries in blue and black, merfolk in blue and white, giants in...

That is an odd ruling. To me it seems like if you could train an AI on legally acquired material, you should also be able to do a lot of other things with legally acquired material. AFAIK, copyright law would not allow you to make a movie featuring art on a poster you bought, or text from a book...

It is likely mainly because eating other carnivores is inefficient. When e.g. a cow eats grass, most of those nutrients and calories go toward maintenance, and only a relatively small amount toward actual growth. That's one of the reasons a vegetarian diet is better from an ecological...

I'd argue that Firefly is, but Leverage isn't. Leverage is all about this particular band of characters and them pulling off heists against rich a-holes who abuse their wealth and power. There's very little worldbuilding involved. There's definitely room for a heist RPG, but I don't know that...

"What if" scenarios are always difficult, because there's a large portion of guesswork involved. But Paizo had two related advantages no other third-party creator had: a solid reputation for making good adventures (which they had gotten via Dungeon and particularly the adventure paths they had...

I'm not so sure. Remember that the core product of Paizo isn't the Pathfinder RPG (or at least, it wasn't back in the day). It was the Pathfinder adventure paths. When Paizo lost the license to make the Dragon and Dungeon magazines, they replaced them with their adventure path series, building...

My understanding of Kira is that while she (correctly) believes the overall fight against the Cardassian occupation was just, not all of the actions taken in that fight were, and there was a whole lot of collateral damage (e.g. bombing the home of a military commander and killing his whole family).

Fairly soon, yes.

I think that from a Watsonian perspective, he's a great love interest for her as a way of grounding her and maybe soothing some of her anger. But from a Doylist perspective, that's precisely what you don't want.

I think that it's not the sales themselves that are important, but what they indicate. If Pathfinder/Daggerheart does better than D&D, that vindicates the poster's opinion that D&D (of whatever edition is relevant in the comparison) sucks.

The D&D-style cleric is very specific to D&D and things based on it. Looking at the fantasy genre as a whole, you'll find plenty of examples of fighters, rogues, and various forms of magic-users, but pretty much the only places where you'll find "user of holy magic largely reminiscent of...

The Twitter thread referred to in the Alphastream article has two people providing a fair bit of information and background, though no hard numbers. They also have two others weighing in and saying "Yeah, that's about it." So that's a total of four people with the information to know who says PF...

If you're looking for an upgraded Talisman, you could try Relic. It's basically the same game with a 40K makeover, but it does add some more choice to things. For one thing, the adventure deck is replaced by three decks which mostly (but not exclusively) challenge either Strength (melee)...
