What was the time difference between the two episodes? (I mean, clearly you think it was less than two weeks. I'm wondering why you think that?)

Yikes. That's a lot to unpack.

Haven’t the foggiest.

I don’t know anybody with a 3D printer.

By non-standard, of course I mean other than the regular d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20. In this week's podcast we veered off, as we are wont to do, into a discussion on funky dice. What are your thoughts on them? A barrier to entry, an additional cost, a gimmick, or a useful new tool?

I love all of those (except haven't seen Murderbot). Foundation I struggled a little with in s2 for some reason, but I'm way back on track with it now. Andor and Alien, I love them both. I'm the opposite way round there. I couldn't watch WoT. I tried, several times, but no go. Rings of Power...

I don’t understand. What do you mean by “our influence on the budget”? We don’t have any influence on the budget. If you think I am “wallowing in dissatisfaction” (what a phrase!), you are sorely mistaken. This is my favourite show. That’s pretty much my only criticism of it. Even the things I...

C’mon, it wasn’t that, it was the extras budget. It’s been a problem this whole season.

Eh. Once a civilisation spreads into outer space, it's perfectly reasonable to extend the use of words like 'geography' and 'geology' without having to remember a different specific word for each of the 40,000,000 stellar bodies in known space. Language evolves, and that is a completely...

Livestreaming as always Friday at 2pm UK time (9am ET)! This week we'll be talking about WotC saying Baldur's Gate 4 will happen, a new D&D coloring book, Cosmere RPG gets a release date, a new spin on the tariff situation, and more! Dungeons & Dragons Gets New Coloring Book, With Lots of...

It wasn't the typo! :D

Fascinating.

Also the series has film-makers who deny the existence of films not made by them as canon, so as a whole the entire franchise should be viewed through an 'unreliable narrator' lens, given that different directors literally view the canon differently. According to Ridley Scott, there is no Alien...

Honestly, I don't think it was thought out that much.

Empty “we can’t afford extras” Ship Syndrome again! I can’t unsee it now. They had to have the Chief Medical Officer operating one of the engines because he didn’t have anything important to do what with all those injured crew that got beamed aboard. Couldn’t they have splashed the cash for just...

There's no such thing as a "d20 OGL". There is only the OGL v1.0a, released back in 2000, and used for many different games, including 3E, 5E, Pathfinder, Fate, and dozen of other game systems.

What's stopping you? It's perfectly legal to put that on a product. How do you think all those 3rd party iPhone cables and cases advertise themselves?

I wouldn't think you need AI. Just a basic computer program. It's a very simple equation: charge = value * tariff. Even I can do that! I guess spot checks are needed, which require manual intervention. But that applies to any shipment through customs.

My expertise on the inner machinations of foreign governments is minimal. And I like it that way. :)

The latest development in the US tariff situation has placed an $80 flat free on all imported packages, even if the tariff would normally be lower. Two weeks ago, the US announced that the 'de minimis' tariff exception on packages under $800 would be ended, affecting individual game orders as...
