As for putting a player on the spot ... same happens when it's their turn in initiative. But for world-building issues, here are two things I've tried: 1. Ask a question that doesn't have to be answered immediately. In my Daggerheart campaign, I asked the Wizard player to think up a nemesis...

TBH, expecting a sharp divide of Player and GM responsibilities on world-building seems short-sighted and ... maybe if people are so precious about their sandboxes they'd be better off writing their own fiction without others messing it up? Sorry, too aggressive. But building a character to...

School of Knowledge has better access to their Vault anyway, as they get the reduced Recall Cost feature. I'm fine with 5 Domain Cards in Loadout being a "Hard" limit. I don't mind having cards that can sidestep that slightly, like Notorious, but I like keeping options manageable. Although I...

The fifth was a blink-and-you'll-miss it, there's a beetle ish life form with wings that Boy Kavalier observes. I had to look it up.

Episode 5: I knew the Maginot's crew was doomed, but even then they hardly covered themselves in glory ... or competence. I was surprised by how cavalier they were about the specimens, how a containment leak didn't have them all at DefCon1 ... even without a saboteur, those specimens were gonna...

Just into Book 3, and it's been a little over a week since I got book 1. Also, I just read "This is How to Lose a Time War", which I also really enjoyed. I'm just stoked I'm back to reading, haven't been reading this much in awhile

I like Scott Bakula, he's a good actor. I think he was ill-served by Enterprise, a show that stripped him of his charisma and just ... Archer is the worst. I'd rather be on Alan Ruck's Enterprise than Bakula's, and half the ship doesn't get here until Tuesday. Now, possibly a new show could...

Do note that the Kerkovian serum Chapel was using was based on Spock, so a lot of the crew's behavior seems to be a mish-mash of Spock's view of his fellow Vulcans with added their own emotional deals. We have Doug and the Admiral ... "real" Vulcans, and they did not act nearly as poorly...

So before outdoor cycling becomes difficult ... which for me is too cold to do in tank top and shorts, lol, I'm trying to get my endurance and speed up. I can generally average 20 kph for roughly an hour ... give or take, and traffic depending, lol. I've set myself a goal of doing a 50K bike...

Note though that the Ghorm were being specifically singled out and targeted and their very culture used against them, that was what the bit with the propagandists back in that initial meeting were all about. The same thing happened in the first season, with that Imperial talking about how...

... Vulcan hijinks are a tricky thing to manage, and SNW has gone to this well several times. This episode in particular. I get why it'd be divisive. I laughed a lot, but also cringed a lot. ... is this the first episode to have a post credit sequence? That was pure gold.

Huh, will this actually happen? I dunno, with the record of announcements and quiet cancellations, I tend to wait until we get a trailer to think about it. That said, I loved X-Wing and similar flying games so I'd love a Star Wars Top Gun movie. Heck, I'd like a series. Gosling is really into...

Still, I like seeing creating higher level PCs and such.

I'm tuning out of all the hyperbole over CR. It's nuts. Personally, I'm playing more TTRPGs than I have in over a year, since a 5e campaign I was in collapsed and while I've been talking about starting one, it took Daggerheart to push me to actually take the reins. I now have an ongoing...

There's nothing I would auto-buy, but things that would instantly get my notice: Adventures set in Eberron Bloomburrow MTG setting, or some other anthromorphic campaign setting Edge of Eternities MTG or a new Sci-fi / Space Opera campaign setting Brand New Campaign world! I'm sure someone will...

We didn't get too into the weeds about the whys, but the PC's wife had remarried in the time jump and the player said it was a "type of drama that I didn't sign on for" ...

Yes, although we hadn't explicitly talked about it, and in retrospect, that was the problem. The GM had us do a time jump and a PC had a family that "lost" him for several years. The GM described that they'd moved on and the player flipped out. It killed the campaign. We should have talked...

Completely and utterly realistic, based off historical space navies ...

Daggerheart Session 3: Shortened session, but plans afoot.

Ignoring the Critical Role sturm and drang ... Daggerheart continues to go well. Session 3 went well despite one absence and one having to depart early. It was a short session, so I had a check-in with players ... everyone is enjoying the campaign, but one player mentioned a lack of loot. (The...
