I’ve read through the first two adventures so far. In the first one, I feel like it doesn’t do a good job setting up how the players can figure out that the elves have been tortured into being hostile and resolve those conflicts without killing them. Yes, the adventure provides mechanics for...

Ooh. I lost track of when this was coming out. Will have to check it out tomorrow!

I completed the main Fallout 4 quest with Nate and the BOS. That was fine but I’m not enjoying playing as Nate as much as I did as Nora. I also pretty much chose the exact same playstyle for Nate as I did for Nora. So I am starting over as Nora, and this time I’m going to play up the fact that...

I figured that was probably the case. Thanks for the brief character summary!

What bugs me about the cover is they all look far too cheerful for people who’ve just been dumped into Barovia.

I enjoyed both “Heart of Stone” (Odo is tested by the female Founder) and “Destiny” (Sisko starts to believe maybe he is the Emissary).

Really? Seems kinda random ...

Speaking of both Madripoor and F&WS, I had assumed this movie would be when we next saw Sharon Carter, but apparently not, so I wonder when her dangling plot thread will be picked up again …

Oooooh! I wasn’t referring to culture at all. Just appearance. Shield dwarves look like your stereotypical Scottish-mixed-with-Viking fantasy dwarf, while the gold dwarves look African (or African-American, if you prefer). @Parmandur had mistakenly referred to the gold dwarf among the...

I only mentioned it as a way of contrasting her with Bareil. @payn was the one who took issue with my use of the word. Perhaps they were right because I didn’t mean for it to become a whole debate!

I’m not arguing Kira should be repentant. As for Winn and Bareil: in “Life Support”, Bashir gets right to the heart of why Winn needs Bareil – she’s a coward who can’t handle the negotiations herself, but even if she could, having Bareil do it makes it so she can blame him if things go wrong...

FedEx founder Fred Smith has died aged 80.

I mean unrepentant in that she doesn't feel sorry for what she did in her fight against the Cardassian occupation. She's basically what Cassian Andor would be if he'd survived and gotten a job with the New Republic. Just a few episodes back, she was convincing Tom Riker to give himself up...

Moving along, I watched "Life Support" last night. Aside from the goofy-looking surgical get-up that Bashir and his assistants had to wear, this episode was pretty meh. Kai Winn was up to her usual tricks, this time taking a Machiavellian approach to getting a treaty between Bajor and Cardassia...

Well, firstly, I was responding to what turned out to be a typo. There has been no lore change. Not sure if that's what you're asking about. In terms of shield dwarves vs gold dwarves, the most recent authoritative source would be the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, which states this: Shield...

I just checked my FB events records, and it actually took us 6 sessions to complete "When a Star Falls"! (I was right that it only took us two sessions to get through "Beyond the Crystal Cave".) We play fortnightly for about 2 hours with the occasional longer session thrown in, so adventures...

I mean, I've lived here long enough, but I haven't applied for citizenship yet ... While there are lots of Māori who can pass for white, I think there are plenty of actual white All Blacks. Having them perform the haka before a rugby match isn't cultural appropriation, though, because it's...

Guys, the lack of pages numbers is nothing new. Outside of TOCs and indices, WotC has long been allergic to page numbers … they always use chapter references (or nothing). My guess would be that they don’t want to include them in case they change or something, which is silly really. I don’t...

Thanks. Oh. That’s a lore change. In FR, the shield dwarves are the stereotypical Scottish-looking dwarves, while the gold dwarves are the bling-wearing African-looking dwarves.

Who's the woman with the magic staff in back? I'm not familiar with this group, not having read the novels. How so? He just looks like a typical Faerûnian gold dwarf to me. I guess so. I mistook that character for a dwarf at first and had to look more closely ...
