    D&D 5E (2014) Orichalcum?

    You could simply lean into its reputation for light and/or godliness, by saying that orichalchum weapons counts as magic for the purposes of damage reduction when used against undead, and they deal one extra point of radiant damage at all times. Orichalcum armour, on the other hand, might grant...

    Plot help for a Star Wars campaign wanted

    I can think of three obvious ideas: An ancient ruin housing mystical inscriptions or a long-hidden holocron, teaching a Force-user a lost Force power A secret super-weapon, perhaps in disrepair (or in need of destruction) A lost world, either a bountiful paradise for colonisation or maybe a...

    D&D 5E (2024) What spells should be dropped?

    I renamed Detect Evil & Good as Detect Supernatural Influence. I thought that was much more fitting.

    Starfinder What are the big mechanical differences from Pathfinder 1e?

    I think that the biggest differences are: Armour Class is split into Energy (EAC) and Kinetic (KAC) Armour Class There are fewer skills (Craft, in particular being subsumed) and fewer bonus types Characters have both Hit Points and Stamina, with Stamina being taken first and able to be replaced...

    D&D 5E (2024) What spells should be dropped?

    If the simulacrum has no spells and can only share yours, you've essentially come up with a complicated way to burn spell slots even faster than normal.

    Picard Season 3

    Are you confusing "season" with "episode"? Voyager liked using the reset button, but only within that story, and there was precisely  one episode to my knowledge where it's revealed that we're actually following a different Voyager crew.

    There is now 880 episodes of Star Trek and 13 movies

    I'm fairly tolerant of my TV, provided that it's not gory, particularly sweary, or too dark/quiet to see/hear anything (my senses are not getting any sharper with age!). By those measures, I have far more issue with Discovery's tendency to shoot in gloomy conditions and mumble an alarming...

    Lone Wolf Game Books back in print!

    So, the first two Magnakai books have arrived! Not only is Gary Chalk's artwork once more in the books, they come with an attractive dustsheet that doubles as a full-colour map and even a fancy bookmark. (Also featured are some of the earlier hardbacks.)

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    Well, as soon as they referenced Chekhov's Resurrection Token at the start of the film, I knew that someone was going to be resurrected, and it was unlikely to be his wife.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    I'd take a punt that, like Narnia, if they ever return home to Earth, they will return to their previous ages.

    '39 is such a banger! It's one of my favourite songs too. 😄

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    That seems like the author reaching around the sides to justify the film makers going, "what's a cool, iconic D&D monster to turn into? I know, an owlbear!"

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Hey, I'm in my 40s now and I realise that most people on the Internet are younger than me!

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    Huh. When the illusion starts melting and we cut back to the heroes, it's Simon who has his foot stuck, so I just assumed that it was his illusion and he was losing concentration on it.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Not that Sir Patrick Moore wasn't proud to be a dinosaur, but technically he was an astronomer, not an astrophysicist. Sir Brian May, of Queen fame, has a degree in astrophysics.

    D&D 3.x I like psionics…

    That's the one I meant, yes.

    D&D 3.x I like psionics…

    Didn't Dreamscarred make the Soulknife a full (and useful) 20-level class? I've always liked 3.5 psionics and, in my opinion, that's how spellcasting should be, paying for your power boosts and using spell points rather than slots per day.
