New (mock/fake) Trailer for Andor 1999! The 1975 was a banger, too.

I think that was pretty solid. He wasn't something or someone special, but he had seen and participated in acts of inhumanity and violence he couldn't accept, an in that moment decided to not just run away, to resist, eventually rising up to setting the foundations of the Rebellion. He's kinda...

Luthen's ending was ... well, not unexpected. I didn't really have expectations. I suppose maybe that it would be to Cassian to kill him to protect the Rebellion. It being himself, and then Kleya, and it being without any great heroics, to take him out, just works. I didn't see Pantagaz' end...

Andor asked him about the monument, and he talked about how his father died during the massacre (the one by Tarkin). I guess that caused him to really take a good look, and also brought the neccesary emotional connection to keep the memory around, unlike most guests that never ask such questions...

Soft or hard control isn't the distinguishing aspect. The distinguishing aspect IMO is that Defender "control" is always about controlling the enemy to make it a more attractive choice to go after the defender than anyone else, but the Defender is the toughest guy in the party and can probably...

No, I don't think control must be absolute. But it needs to change the "math" of your choices - so that whatever would be the best option normally comes with additional cost that might not make worth doing anymore.

The challenge in defining a special "controller" ability that is similar generic like the Defender's mark, Striker's damage buff or Leader's healing ability is that controlling is about restricting the enemies choices and punish them if they do stuff you don't want. But there are a lot of...

We once played a game of Space Gothic that was set in a fantasy simulation game that used another ruleset. While it sounds like a fun idea, we didn't really play much Space Gothic in the first place, so we had two barely understood rulesets to play at the same, and I was really hoping to play...

AI needs hardware resources that needs electricity and produces a lot of heat (and cooling is a concern in vacuum), and the components also degrade from radiation. And innately, computers have absolutely no self-repair capabilities. To some extent, you can turn off defective processors or...

The thing is "asteroid colony" is making the assumption that you can fit what you need for a society of generational starship travelers to survive, and the machinery not to break down, before they arrive. But does it? And are there any asteroids that would be the right size, and can we get all...

Maybe physics doesn't, but maybe engineering does - what would go into engineering a ship that can be maintained for centuries to millennia of flight, that can protect the life aboard to survive? How big would it need to be, what would it take to get the materials, how long would we need to be...

It is always hard to nail down genres to "the one single thing". They are usually a whole collction of things, that assembled together in some form, makes the genre, but not one single thing defines it all, because that single thing might also exist in other genres. And, genres aren't tight...

I think the enhanced effects and better resolution than Betamax/VHS/DVD/PAL. is pretty much it. They didn't change the content of the episodes. It's not like the Star Wars Specials where scenes were recut. It's also not like Doctor Who were the original film material was lost and had to be...

I always kinda wanted to play a Fighter/Wizard for that, but the ability management makes it hard. But area (or close) bursts are really neat for fighters if they can get them. (Though one shouldn't overrate it - enemies will gravitate towards targeting you, so enemies don't really need to eat...

But it might make the basis of a neat adventure.

Before George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, he had plans for a new series, and several scripts were written. I've heard the story involved more background about Palpatine and explain his motivations. So I guess Lucas also kinda felt the need to explain their villains in a more sympathetic...

I remember I remixed KotS as well. I think I cut down the monsters and made it so that the background story was told in visions people visiting the Keep experienced. I also altered some of the story. But the details are fuzzy.

Well, usually the problem is the duration of such abilities, and I don't remember enough of these abilities to say if they have any and what it is. But principially - even without summoning spells every "smart" villain can hire and recruit people to fight along his side or to hunt after them...

I haven't been playing 3.x since forever, basically, but CR 11 doesn't sound that outlandish. DR, fast healing and energy resistance aren't that impressive against a Level 11 (moderate challenge) party or Level 8 party (serious challenge). They will have magic weapons, and a fireball will deal 8...

Pah, my idea of the Rack of Jealousy was much better, and even worse, they picked the idea of that stupid cambion whose-name-I-won't-even-acknowledge from the Eternal Discomfort department.
