Yeah, The Mandalorian has been very clever in broadening its appeal beyond the fans and grognards, while keeping close enough to previous works to satisfy the latter.

Um... the premise of the thread is simplifying skill checks. Not complicating them further.

I'm not going to die on this hill. I do agree that this particular episode is a bit poorly structured. It's clear that the writers had two points to hit: Cara Dune's possible recruitment to the Republic, and the reveal about just what Gideon is up to. The blue alien's involvement has to be a...

@Sacrosanct : I feel for you, and I hope your partner's illness is short. But the fact her temperature is below normal implies to me that she may have something other than Covid-19. That might affect your thinking about how she got it? But I'm a nobody on the internet, so you should certainly do...

There's a difference between "writing" and "scripting". Whedon is a master of scripting, that is, putting entertaining things in the mouths of characters. I'm sure The Mandalorian's creators are deliberately avoiding this sort of dialogue because neither Star Wars nor the original cowboy movies...

A class limited in-universe to one species ("ancestry") due to in-universe racism isn't going to wash in 2020 - especially in a book with a section devoted to how even gnomes can be as good barbarians as goliaths.

Swarmmaster Ranger: I shall become a bat.

Where are you seeing these, that you can't see how rarity affects the item?

If they're regularly used for mounts in-universe, you can imagine that, just like horses IRL, they've been bred and trained for the purpose for a thousand years.

Humans and the like might still have average life-spans similar to us, but given the size of the galaxy, number of planets and huge range of different environments and medical technologies, the range of life-spans and ageing rates must be way wider than those on earth. Maybe Tattooine is bad for...

I think mindflayers would make great colonialist invaders.

It's a supplement I've never heard of. But I'm imagining a campaign where the PC's never see the surface - if indeed the world has one.

I think we should try and think of what such a setting would contain that previous or existing settings don't. Perhaps a largely undersea setting? Whole civilisations of Tritons and Sahuagin, with domed air-breather ghettos. Submarines, dolphin- or shark-riders, mass transport in the belly of...

IIRC PC's couldn't get 20 in a score. Only something called 18/00?

Missed opportunity there!

Any rules for playing a Death Knight? After all, you can on WoW!

That's fair. But if he doesn't either find a home for the Tyke, or start becoming involved as a parent, he could end up doing damage. Given the latest episode, I think this is coming to a crunch in the story.

Can you give an example? Although I think they mean affection, and I don't recall any of that. Does the Tyke have nappies? Does the Mando change them?

I think I can refute this with two words: Critical Role. While Mercer does use miniatures for combat, the many thousands who follow critical role get a tiny picture of them. By far the biggest source of the artwork and cosplay are images painted with Mercer's words, and those of his players...

I didn't know this was going to be an edition war thread. Inevitable, really.
