A video keeps popping up in my Youtube notifications titled "What's Smaller Than a Quark?" I'm resisting the temptation to click on it just to go into the comments and reply "A Nog."

Well, that and the practical consideration that avoiding cultural contamination is going to be pretty much impossible once that society is actively going out and visiting other worlds.

"It's easy to be a saint in paradise." The Federation lacks the perspective to properly deal with the problems of societies that aren't post-scarcity and post-inequality. Starfleet at least has the sense to acknowledge that lack of perspective.

Hopefully replaced with putting the movie on their viewing list.

DM: "Well, I guess the stat-block doesn't say it's immune to the prone condition..."

Ah yes, the ruler of the prehistoric world, the memberberrisaurus.

Well yeah, just like not every episode is a vacation episode, or a comedy episode, or a medical drama episode. They're generalist shows. The point is, there are enough such examples to indicate that the Federation - and even Starfleet itself - is not a crime-free zone, and that if you did want...

Githzerai Poison? Thri-kreen Poison? Where's My Poison?

The number of courtroom dramas we've had in Trek, and those mostly focused upon Starfleet personnel in particular, would seem to belie that. That sounds like a surveillance state, hardly the Star Trek ideal. In any case, Trek features plenty of frontier worlds without such luxuries, and...

A door, plus a halfling hireling to hold it sideways and move it as needed. The bonus is it acts as full cover for the hireling.

"Does he have a dagger in his pocketses precious, or is he just happy to meets us?"

You're going to have to unpack some of your assumptions here, because you really do seem to be starting from a very different place than a lot of other players.

I don't have the faintest idea what you mean by that. 3.5e characters were no less heroic just by existing that 5e characters, and 5e characters don't grow any less through play than 3.5e characters.

Seriously? Eberron is the setting which explicitly had NPCs with heroic classes being very rare, and PCs with XP-based quick advancement being the exception, while most NPCs would go years or even their entire lives without gaining levels. It always treated PCs as being exceptional and...
