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...

We will see how many movies they make before they get their equivalent of The Mummy reboot.

The common wisdom too seems to be that in PF2 characters tend to become more survivable around level 5 because of how scaling works.

I do not know whether The Marvels would also clarify why Captain Marvel may not be involved in Secret Invasion. This should be as much her battle as Fury's, and in the MCU I do not think any Skrull could fake her sheer power.

The thing with Coulson is exactly what makes it so egregious though. Not only did they fridge someone, but it is a rehash of something that already happened!

In a world of space wizards Chirrut is more of a space cleric. I any case give it seven years and maybe the Obi-Wan actors will age up into soft reboot material.

I just cannot believe they fridged someone.

I am pretty sure Wayne Brady and Jonathan Mangum play D&D. No idea whether Tiffany Coyne has played too.

If there is any force that could cause good guys and bad guys to team up it would be to bring down the pain on the forces of time travel. That naughty word needs to die, and both good and evil know it.

The audacity of calling your studio "renegade" and then lawyering up to assert control of a concept.

At some point they are going to have to explain how there is actually still a "Sacred Timeline" beyond the scope of Kang and everything we have seen so far. Kang is from, what, over a thousand years in the future? For the Sacred Timeline, which leads to Kang Who Waits future, to be broken up and...

The inventor could also take searing restoration at level 2 which would give them healing of a similar sort as the champion without likely significantly changing their character concept.

PF2 does have troops now. City Guards are level 1 but a City Guard Squadron is level 5. Though if your troop is still royally outclassed it might actually perform worse than the individual creatures, as their attacks are often basic saves.

The other thing to remember is that only matrilineal family lines are (mostly) guaranteed to be accurate. The odds of no infidelity over a period of 1,000 years are about nil.

Yes, but you do not need to live somewhere that Romans took over. You just need to live somewhere with immigration from places where Rome took over or who were in turn taken over by people who were previously taken over by Rome. 60-80 generations involves a lot of individual migration.

Mathematically speaking the idea is that every single person with European ancestors alive today is descended from every single European from 1,000 years ago with descendants who are alive today. Or something like that. And that would go even more for time periods further back. Basically if any...
