I am not really familiar with the universe/games, but now watched the first 2 seasons. Good enough to convince me to check out the "master chief" collection I got for cheap on Steam a year or even two ago...

Good nit picks and critiques. I was wondering about the lies, too. But one thing the aliens said that if they communicate, the communication is "total". Maybe when they play games or tells stories, the knowledge of the narrator that this is just a story or game is also communicated. But their...

I don't know about overexposure, but there is at least some speculation that maybe this time Harley Quinn is actually the one that provokes Joker into being bad "again". Not sure there is really enough in the trailer to support that, though. But isn't this basically going to be a musical? In...

Mialee has changed a bit over the years. Mustrum "Yes, 3E was my first D&D Edition" Ridcully

I didn't mind the 4E Fighter focus, but if you worry about that: Strength and Dexterity should always be important for any type of combat, unless maybe we're talking about firearms. Bows require strength to draw, and a sword must still hit the target, not just penetrate armor, skin or bone. So...

So, the first two episodes of Discovery Season 5 are out. This is the final season of episode 5. In case anyone was shying away from Discovery because they disliked the "Federation falling apart and being a shadow of it former self" - this apparently is overcome by now, the Federation is back...

It can be, but sometimes it's hard. If you choose Halfling or Gnome, the size is a story thing that you might want to also see represented mechanical. If you get some "heritage ability" picks, you might run out and for some reason your tiny pixie with wings can't fly and is as easy to hit as a...

edit apparently an ancient thread someone put back to the top, rather not create more repetitive circles ;) But can'T find the delete button.

If you want parts, there are definitely cheaper options than buying Lego sets aimed at collectors. Including compatible bricks by other companies, many of them with the same and higher quality. But they have a wide offering in licensed models these days. Some other companies have unlicensed...

I feel like some "problems" start if you assume anyone has the ability to achieve relativistic speeds. What if they don't? Battletech jump ships are actually perfect for that, as are Stargates. You have a mobility cheat code, basically. None of these ships achieve relativistic speeds in any...

Never read the book, but the series so far has been very enjoyable. There were some points where I worried that they might lose me, but it turned out mostly okay. (Some suspension of disbelief is still required, it's sci-fi.)

Me neithr, but that probably means that it was just cut from the LotR movie script just like Tom Bombadil, right?

I love that they are doing what they feel enthusiasm for and not just painting by the numbers. I hope they'll always be able to do so. Sure I'd love a BG3 DLC or BG4 for them, but if the skill and enthusiasm they showed for BG3 is going to be funneled into a new game, the new game is likely...

Lego D&D? We have Lego D&D at home: . . . Lego D&D at home: https://www.bluebrixx.com/img/items/105/105539/600/105539_1.jpg https://www.bluebrixx.com/img/items/101/101857/1000/101857_1.jpg https://www.bluebrixx.com/img/items/101/101979/600/101979_1.jpg...

I picked the correct choice, but I have a definite soft spot for the D. It has some amazing curves and the way its interior as luxury liner aesthetics make it really feel like being the result of an advanced civlization at its peak. Also, phaser banks make for a great futuristic weapon look...

The game procedure changes for the player, and I think that changes the mental load. Basically think of a player here as just wanting to declare: "I attack". If the player has two at-wills, he has to declare which of these attacks to use. Abd technically, everyone has a third attack, the basic...

I don't remember off-hand what A-Level exams are exactly and what would be the German school's equivalent, so I am not sure if this is the correct description. But from German school grades 1 (youngest/earliest) to 10 (oldest/latest), we use a 1-6 grading system. At the "Oberstufe" from 11 to...

Rolling high means the top end is open-ended, without getting into oddities with negative numbers. You're really good at something? You get a big bonus on your dice roll, or roll more dice! It's really hard? You must also roll a really big number! And you can always stay with positive...

For self-buffs, probably. I remember our 3E game always included morning and pre-combat buffing phase where the casters would boost everyone to maximum capacity. These mechanics of course also contributed to "CoDzilla", but also made Fighters, Rogues, Rangers or Barbarians and similar...

I know that cancelling the subscription doesn't remove my account. But I was thinking about what if amazon decided to do it, say, because I participated in a lawsuit against them? Surely, that's just absurd paranoid thinking...
