Did hell freeze over, or did a ragebait thread actually get derailed into talking about a legitimately interesting discussion about rpg game mechanics?

The original Harry Kim really doesn't get to get promoted :(

Every once in a while you see something like this and you just have to go... but how is it a scam? Recently I got a phone call from a local credit union saying that my account had a past due balance and that I needed to go in to the nearest branch ASAP to correct it, the problem of course being...

Can we also talk about how the real, original Miles O'Brien is just straight dead? And he straight gets replaced by a version of him from two and a half hours into a slightly different future? And the writers (through Julian) are just like "Just don't think about it"? Does this never get brought...

The problem is that the character is still being penalized within the gameplay function of their primary ability. Especially when in 3.5 where your Halfling Barbarian has a worse chance to hit, has a smaller bonus to damage, and has a lower damage die to begin with. And hitting things, really...

Especially when he otherwise acts completely uncomfortable about the idea of being romantically/sexually connected to either of them in the normal universe. I mean, power/workplace dynamics in relationships has never been treated at all seriously in basically any iteration of Starfleet, so...

We're almost through the first three seasons of our re-watch (we never made it past season 4 our first try through, mostly because my wife was spoiled on what happens to Jadzia and got so upset she crashed out; she's committed to getting over it this time around). Some scattered thoughts: We...

Join the thread, Snarf. You know you want to.

The problem of stats and especially stat penalties is a game design one. Saying that Halflings get +2 Dex means you are encouraging players to make specific choices (ie, Halflings makes great Rogues!); while saying that Halflings get -2 Str means you are actively discouraging players from making...

It's frankly a crime that Dugnutt still isn't in the Hall of Fame

My favorite is when you get a million likes from one person in a single thread, and you look and the thread is like three years old. Usually it's due to a necro but sometimes it's just very strange

Fun fact: they are already the same people. They're also the ones who did the bullying in the first place.

Oh yeah, one other thing I was going to mention is that the most unrealistic thing about the show: humanity finds out that they will be endangered in 400 years, and humanity collectively drops everything to focus on the problem? Would absolutely never happen. I do enjoy how they never even...

I had zero interest in Daggerheart before I read this, but now I am that Leo DiCaprio meme from Django Unchained.

Actually the best War of the Worlds iteration is 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim but not enough of y'all are playing peak video games so I don't know what to tell you. Tom Cruise running really fast a lot carrying a screaming Dakota Fanning wasn't too terrible though

I liken it to Umbrella Academy, where all of the characters are deeply broken morons but also I love them and they're my deeply broken morons.

Wow this is an absolutely epic combination of poster name/contributions to this thread
