I don't really agree that there need to be a compelling argument for a player to want average scores, but there should be a compelling reason to have any of the available scores at a high value. It makes sense to me in RPGs where different characters are often expected to work together as a...

Light Sabers: Once Star Wars used them, almost no one dared to use them again, and they are such cool looking weapons. Swords in general are cool, of course. Katana: The mystical supersword that can cut through anything because of secret steel folding techniques only known to Japanese master...

One thing that occured to me also: Sometimes you kinda want skills to cover certain things, but not all skills are really equally important. (Sometimes based on the game itself, sometimes based on the specific campaign). It would be nice if the game has a way to highlight such skills, possibly...

I think I agree. At least when it comes to pen & paper, table top or virtual table top Roleplaying Games. You always have to imagine the fictional world to some extent and agree on it to some extent, you share your imaginations and things happen in the game because of the shared, imagined...

The cooking discussion feels kinda like one of those EN World endless discussion cycles that stopped adding meaningful to the discussion on page 2 of 20. Every relevant argument has already been exchanged, anyone without an opinion or idea on the topic has enough material to read and learn about...

More specificially, he obtained creative control at the expense of losing Robert Hewitt Wolfe. I don't know there is any plausible scenario where Sorbo keeps the level of creative control and Wolfe stay as writer, but I think losing him hurt the most here, simply because he was the one with the...

I am not sure if it was this thread or some other, but I read that the monster hit points were actually increased shortly before release and weren't really well tested or reasoned. Not sure if that would make out 25 % of the hit points or not, and I think the biggest change were made in the MM2...

Some incoherent thoughts: One of the things I noticed over time how the implied setting - which was started in the "Worlds & Monsters" books before the PHB was even released - really appealed to me. It used lots of components I knew from D&D 3E (my first D&D edition) ,put a new spin on it, and...

I am completely unbiased here, obviously, but I think that is truly an unpopular opinion. Mass Effect "sub-arcs" are much better than its meta-plot. It can be debated whether the whole idea of this super-powerful Cerebrus organization in ME2 and resourrecting Shepard was already the "jump...

Good pick for an unpopular opinion. Very poor pick for an unpopular opinion. It's a common sentiment, I'd say. I'd actually say it is a theme with all 3 sequels. They each make the preceeding worse. But Rise of Skywalker is certainly the worst. Which doesn't mean TFA or TLJ were good movies...

I guess that depends on what you understand with iconic, but I think the way I interpret it: If you see an image, you either know the name or the franchise it belongs to. Another "test" idea (which might yield different results, who knows): If you see a bunch of images from spaceships, each...

Yeah, kinda feel the same. Also would say that about the Nostromo as well - sure I know Alien, but what the ship looked like? Couldn't tell you, and having just googled it - nope, I wouldn't recognize it as Nostromo. I'd identify a ship like that Eagle (?) Shuttle from Moon Base Alpha, but...

USS Enterprise (Star Trek) Millenium Falcon (Star Wars) Star Destroyer (Star Wars) Runnerups might be the Klingon D7/K'Tinga or Bird of Prey, because they appeared fairly often in the Star Trek movies and series and have fairly recognizable shapes. Though the Enterprise D would probably still...

So far all I've heard is that they are basically getting rid of people that worked on new projects (even though a few of the names I heard were definitely long-term employees, but they had transferred to new projects). Which isn't good. But STO and Neverwinter have been Cryptic's cash cows for...

I am thoroughly confused now, but appreciate this self-doxxing counter-measure.

Regarding Illusionists: Disguise Self is actually useful if you want to interrogate the dead, at least if you were responsible for their death. Though originally (until I retrained her) I used Shadowheart for that...

I bellieve that is a trap the writers seem to fall into, thinking they must always raise the stakes. That is not why superhero movies succeed or fail. What really matters is that the story and the characters remain compelling. There must be something that we can relate to. Destroying universes...

Well, I'd be willing to let them try. I can still mock or ignore the results, after all.

That is true. But that shouldn't stop them from trying again, it's non-original IP, and some people must still be nostalgic for it!

That was a fun show, at least for a kid in the 80s. The movie ... I dunno, maybe it will be fun anyway, but beyond the car and the stunt man as protoganist story doesn't seem that close... I guess in a way the Fall Guy makes perfect sense for a contemporary movie - the original show basically...
