    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    End of time or a place without time are pretty much meaningless things for humans, because we require the passing of time. The end of time would be place of maximum entropy, a humanoid corpse isn't going to decay there, because it would have already decayed, and then all its constitutent atoms...

    D&D General why do we lack a canine race?

    Diamond Throne (Monte Cook's Unearthed Arcana setting) had the Sibeccai, but that was OGL in the 3E era... There, they were basically uplifted by the Giants.

    D&D 4E Have you ever run 4e using just Essentials?

    Oh, 4E support for the Virtual Foundry Table Top would be cool. I am not sure I could convince my players to go back to Maptools now that the digital tools are defunct (or at least hard to reenable). Where we didn't have any meaningful support other than condition markers. Especially because...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    I have actually gotten them a while back on GoG, way before BG 3 was released... Unforuntately, starting to play them made me realize how old they are, and I just don't enjoy that as much anymore. It seems I need a voice cast and what not to enjoy a story-heavy game nowadays... :( I didn't play...

    What is the single best science fiction or fantasy franchise?

    I think it was a little bit too easy to pretend that microscopic little thingies potentially killing people don't really exist or something. It is a bit harder to deny octopus raining down all the time. And wasn't there also something about inducing nightmares or something? That said, there is...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    I think that is also part of why Baylan and his apprentice were so compelling - because we didn't actually know what would happen, what they are about, what they are after. That said, I don't think that the end result being a kinda foregone conclusion has to mean the story can't work. You just...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    My view as someone whose actually seen the Clone Wars series and Rebels is that we still didn't learn much about who Ashoka is now. If you don't dwell into her past now too much, tell us more who she is now, how she got there. And I feel that we got very little for the time we spend with her. Or...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    It will be hard for the new Baylan actor to fill the roles of his predecesors, and without a good one ,that whole storyline could fall apart. It is bothersome that it feels like the last 10+ years Thrawn and Ezra were away, they were almost frozen in time. Okay, Thrawn got some...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    There seem to be a bunch of "missions" there that really don't seem interesting enough to pursue. Well, at least one, that painter story with the haunted house (which has horrible annoying mechanics, too). Elder Brain is soon to break free and turn lots of people into slaves and mind flayers...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Wasn't that the name of the Cylon leaders in the Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock game? More seriously, alluding to Clothos, Atropos and Lachesis, the Moirai (Greek goddesses of fate).

    So, what are they loading onto the Chimera?

    Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    I think it's not an "X-Factor" in the sense there is a specific entity behind it, it's just part of what psychohistory describes - galactic social currents moving to undermine the Empire, leading to its eventual downfall. Some faction opposes the Empire and decices to blow up the Star Bridge...

    Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    Tech like we've seen in the vault hasn't been shown off elsewhere (both the season 1 exclusion zone and the season 2 TARDIS interior), which makes it feel a bit of a deus ex machina. But - the interior size was shown off before, and it obviously raised the question - What would that be good for...

    Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    Are you sure most of his behaviour towards Foundation was driven by the assassination attempt? I actually think it was mostly by the nature of the conflict with the Foundation. The Foundation is a threat to Empire's might. Both because it predicts the Empire's fall, and because it is expanding...

    Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    The final episode was another banger. Lots of strong moments and reveals. (Remember, this is a spoiler thread, so stop reading now if you haven't seen the episode!) Of course, Day was once again played wonderfully by Lee Pace. And what a nice and deserved ending for this Brother Day...

    Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    I think the genetic drift was really just some rebel faction trying to undermine the Genetic Dynasty. Just like the Star Bridge's destruction, it's part of society's currents that leads to the downfall of the Empire and thousands of years of barbarism. I think Demerzel cannot hold a too tight...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    It was more than just a prison break. The ship was wrecked afterwards, and several people (maybe even the entire crew, not clear right now, but definitely the commanding officer and several crew members) were killed. That is definitely something that would be worth pursuing. Of course, even a...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Trust on the New Republic to deal with the problem? The New Republic that wouldn't even lift a finger to help them with this? And on the flip side, If she could really trust the New Republic to deal with anything, she could also trust them to deal with Thrawn's return. So either she trusts...

    Foundation Season 02 (Apple TV+) - SPOILERS

    Did I see the show is on fire? Foundation is now literally on fire. Doesn't look so good for them. Someone pointed out that this time, the Empire had both Death Star and its X-Wing shooting at exhausts ports... And we have a Rogue One ending, too... Demerzel can be quite mean.
