Maybe. It makes sense but that assumes Luca has cash-flow issues if he needs to risk a big $1.8 million score to pay that bill. Or, this is a way for Luca to push the $1.8 million payout onto some other sucker. Given Luca's bravado, it may have even be a way to gain a piece of leverage/insurance...

I don't think the idea they were poking some fun at grognards is dumb. Rather, considering how often humor and blatantly making fun of critics came up back in the TSR days, particularly in publications like Dragon Magazine or in other parts of the industry like the Gigi D'Arn column in Different...

You mean, if we're going to engage in deflection by "whataboutism"? Since this is a thread criticizing WotC's controversial moves, I don't see why any of these are relevant.

I'm going to start with 2e and look at adding innovations to the 1e base - largely because I think there are too many that 1e added to the original D&D/basic D&D models. 2e: school specialty casters honorable mention: specialty priests 3e: feats honorable mention: ascending AC and...

In fact, skimming the atmosphere of a gas giant to refuel has been a standard for Traveller without a lot of complaint because it has been part of the hand-wavium technology for decades. Your ship has to be streamlined and have the fuel scoops, you have to take the time, and if you don't spend...

Well... maybe when she wasn't being a Daxamite supremacist...

That sounds extremely painful.

Considering 5e.2014 has lots of creatures resistant to non-magical slash/bludgeon/pierce damage, STILL worth it. It isn't until 5e.2024 where it's truly kind of meh.

Amphetamines, duh.

Just because there's no completely ethical consumption in this corporate capitalist world doesn't mean I have to tolerate everybody's crappy behavior.

Interesting. You basically pay sales tax on value the customs tax. That seems... weird. Easier to calculate, I suppose, but weird.

I think a good sound effect would have been CHUMP! But that seems more like a body blow than a face shot.

If it's going to be less hurt by the current tariff regime, I say go for it!

I don't think my group is too adversarial. The group has a player who likes to dope out highly effective tactics and combinations, but he's also pretty good at roleplaying how that all works out. It does mean I sometimes have to work to specifically raise challenges in some encounters and...

Well that was... weird and kind of fussy.

We also know, as viewers, that Devlin’s a stone cold killer from prior episodes. In setting, Matt, with his senses, probably has no trouble believing Devlin and his crew’s willingness to kill hostages as necessary.

I’m not sure he does. The people he was talking about so wistfully were the members of his criminal empire. And who do they prey upon? The working man on the street.

I don’t necessarily see an edition change as a treadmill, particularly when it’s so compatible. Periodic cleanup and consolidation can be a good thing.

Considering the 50th year anniversary of the game, it smelled a lot more like an opportunity to me.

Well sure, you get lots more network efficiency that way - meaning more products, more players, widespread familiarity, etc, even if they aren’t a perfect fit.
