If you're not playing in the same campaign, what's the hang up? You've both lifted the name from a literary source. The fact that he did it first means I think you should probably defer to his opportunity to play the character when you're in the same campaign at the same time, but outside of...

Unless it's Bledsaw being the dishonest one. At this point, it's hard to tell without watching what people actually do.

My guess is that had a lot more to do with budget than rights. Some of the line art, particularly the image of Bond holding off a man wielding a 4-tined hook, are direct renderings of movie images (in this case a fight scene from On Her Majesty's Secret Service). The James Bond 007 game spent a...

If the products of childbirth, cloning, and manufacture are all sentient, why should the process matter? It seems to me like you're positing some kind of inherent hierarchy between the different methods because of, what, raw material?

How about the clones created on Kamino? They were "manufactured" but also definitely counted as life since they were, pretty much, just modified humans born, raised, and educated via a manufacturing process. Definitely as sentient as any other humans. Were they slaves? If no, why not? If yes...

I think I might avoid any argument about slavery that goes down that particular line. There's little difference between what someone is "made to do" and "born to do" when people are born into slavery.

Yeah, I eventually stopped following his channel because of the clickbait even though his content is usually worthwhile. I will say that he is, at least, up front about it and about how he has to game the algorithm or his videos don't get seen very widely. And, ultimately, that's the fault of...

Indeed it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macho_Women_with_Guns

Santos may be obnoxious, but her heart’s definitely in the right place.

I don't think that's it. Going from big fish to small fish in larger pond is, I think, not on her radar. Rather, I think she's being pretty frank with Cassian - she and Luthen may be responsible for getting a lot of the rebellion set up and getting resources to Yavin 4 behind the scenes, but...

Apparently "secretly influencing global events for years" includes publishing summer reading lists.

Yes, I think this is an important thing to do - the PCs fight what the PCs can fight. But, assuming they win in their fight but their patron loses, they're going to feel pretty low if there isn't something they gain from it. If their fight has no impact on the large one between the Titania and...

Somewhere, Coach is shouting out, "Norm!" https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/george-wendt-dead-cheers-norm-1236222950/

I'm not sure of the timeline. I know I first played D&D in 1981 and we tried Traveller, Champions, and Gamma World some time after that and I don't think it was a full year, though I'm pretty sure it was more than just a few months. Ultimately, Villains and Vigilantes would be our next main RPG...

The Luthen/Kleya relationship also echoes the relationship of a Jedi and their family-less padawan. He mentors and teaches as she gets older and keeps her drive and discipline alive. But since it's ultimately based on anger and retribution (and she eventually has to finish him off) it's a bit of...

Same. I remember them just appending a digit at the end of it.

Particularly since the antique business, like much of the art business, is just GREAT for laundering money. And that makes it a potentially great resource for funneling resources into insurgencies (as well as distributing bugs around Coruscant like we saw in season 2).

Wow, is THAT some classist BS!

I'm not entirely sure it's a discrepancy, per se. We know they hijacked some armaments - but we don't know fully what they were. Moreover, not all of them may have been suitable to take to the protest in the plaza because those would have needed to be concealable. And smaller and concealable...

They are - but that doesn't save them and their way of life - and that's the main point here, not that some minority of them may escape the environmental apocalypse about hit them through the kalkite mining. The Empire wants the resource for its own heavy-handed devices, so it doesn't matter how...
