I decided to give Fallout 4 another go from the beginning. Playing as Nate instead of Nora this time. Gonna go with BoS. Hopefully I can put up with the jerkiness. I'm also not going to bother with settlements this time. It's fun building stuff, and it feels good rebuilding the Commonwealth...

I finally got around to firing up Fallout 4 again and finishing the Far Harbor quest line. I had Nick with me. I went guns blazing into the Nucleus and destroyed the Children of Atom. Even though that upset DiMA, I was still able to convince him to turn himself in to the people of Far Harbor. I...

No, I'm not surprised. That said, based on past experience, perhaps they should. (If they'd included the ranger in the final PHB 2014 playtests, it might have turned out better than it did, for instance.)

It’s a bit railroady in parts but overall it’s a fun story. It’s got a great opening sequence, and there are some fun NPcs and companions to meet along the way. (Some pretty annoying ones too, like the paladin …)

I mean, we're talking a 1-year time jump here. Each three-episode arc was essentially a standalone TV movie. There didn't need to be connective tissue between each one.

Good point. She knew she'd been set up to take the fall if it all went south (although ironically her downfall was because of something else).

She wasn't having a panic attack because of Syril, though. I don't think she would have known he was dead by that point. She was freaking out because she'd been tricked into participating in an engineered massacre.

🤷 Suit yourself! I still think that's too inflexible but whatever! Thanks for clarifying that you didn't actually want to talk about your player's feelings on the matter. I won't waste any more of anyone's time in this thread.

Just wanted to point out that WotC's survey setup now allows you to comment on all your ratings, not just the yellow ones! I'm working my way through the survey now. EDIT: Sorry. I see I'm a few pages / days behind on that!

Just taking the survey and they're now allowing you to provide written feedback for all ratings! Not just the yellow ones. Psionic Restoration at level 5 lets the psion regain a number of expended PED "equal to half your number of dice (round down)." Were you thinking of Psionic Surge at level...

Hmm. I have mostly* fond memories of playing this game back in the day. It doesn't look to me like the graphics are all that improved, though. Still, I never played any of the expansions, so there's that. But it uses the 3.5e rules, so there's that. *I didn't like how the game assumed my...

Is that a generational and/or regional thing? I hear “fizzy” all the time in Auckland but have never heard “fizzy winkle” in the 20+ years I’ve been living here.

Look, I get not wanting to change the rules willy nilly in the middle of a campaign. However, I do think you're being too rigid about this one particular guideline. "I can't do this because it would go against the designers' unofficial advice" is a weak argument. It makes it sound like you're...

Yes, with the assumption that the reader / listener intends to use the 2024 rules as their baseline. It's probably advice aimed at new DMs who are just getting into the game with the 2024 revision. "Default to the 2024 rules and only use 2014 stuff that hasn't been updated yet" is solid advice...

Honestly, I think JC's comments should be read in the context that he's assuming use of the 2024 rules as the baseline and is explaining how to incorporate older 5e elements that they haven't officially updated yet. I'm not aware of any official WotC statement along the lines of "Thou shalt...

I voted "soda" because that was the generic term for sugary carbonated beverages when I was growing up in the Philly suburbs in the 80s and 90s. My dad is from the midwest and would sometimes refer to it as "pop", though. These days, I generally just use brand names. Here in NZ, the most common...

It also looks like they successfully rescue Batel. I know trailers can be deceptive, and I think this one is being tricksy as it seems like Pike is passing on the captaincy to young Kirk, but a) it's too soon and b) S4 is currently being filmed with Anson Mount still starring as Pike, so ... I...

Also magic items.

It doesn't look like it. The product page on DDB doesn't have a monster entry along the bottom (unlike, say, Forge of the Artificer, which indicates there are 25 monsters in it). So I guess Dragon Delves will only feature monsters from the new MM.
