I feel like Pelia would not have survived thousands of years just wandering the Earth, if she was the sort of rube who genuinely bought spin like that, but also she is 100% confirmed as a ham who loves a moment of drama so I don't fault her for pretending like it did, so long after it no longer...

I kind of like the idea because AoS has done far more cool stuff with Chaos worshippers/champions than Warhammer Fantasy ever did (I genuinely hate to admit it, but it has), but I'll be interested to hear how they make sure campaigns don't just devolve into essentially slaughtering peasants...

Overall on the episode, I was kind of glad at the reveal, because I was thinking the somewhat silly mouth on the ship looked like something only humans or, well, 40K orks would have built. It was a good episode generally, fun performances, especially from Scotty. Very watchable. I felt like...

You are 100% technically correct, the best kind of correct, to be annoyed by this, but I think it's acceptable shorthand, otherwise they'd have to either say "stationary orbit", which is a bit of a contradiction-in-terms and would confuse some people, or invent the event more babble-y...

Even posher, actually. Public schools are an an elite tier of private school, basically the Ivy League of private schools - i.e. old, very expensive, offer the opportunity to make connections if you go there (in theory), typically high academic achievement, etc. And we call what people the US...

I thought that, but according to this, Weyland (the person) and David were aware of LV-426, which is a different moon of the same gas giant as the one in Prometheus, and were aware because of a "faint signal". Unfortunately the actual source is gone and the Wayback Machine link to the page...

You mean Kirsh? He definitely has a similar vibe as well as appearance, like he could be Roy's cousin lol. Guess I've got my next Mothership character...

I did wonder about that! It's very catlike, like the way it dashed after the people at the party, that's exactly the way a domestic cat dashes after fleeing prey, and my brain read it as "a cat" for a half-second. And it's sleek like a cat and way faster and more agile than any Xenomorph I've...

Ok fair lol yeah I have some enjoyed a couple of romantasy novels where that was going on too (c.f. T. Kingfisher, who I can honestly say "I was reading it for the worldbuilding!" about, I just didn't object to the make-out sessions etc.)

Whereas for me I didn't vibe with Geralt at all (particularly in W2). Like 70% of the things I despise in an PC rolled into one. 1) Looks like a right twat. Sorry but he does. Tall, brooding and fit as hell so I get why chicks dig him in a "the absolute hottest 50-ish metal fan you ever saw"...

That's my experience on Bluesky too, following a lot of RPG industry and related people. D&D sometimes gets mentioned as something people are playing, nobody gets mad about it (as they might have say, two or three years ago on Twitter), but it also doesn't attract much interest either (where...

I already did at great length, read my posts! I literally answered all of those exact questions in a post upthread. It's not on me if you don't read. It's on you.

Yeah I would vote for Mothership right now, albeit not because of the rules, which frankly are... serviceable at best. At least they have some decent concepts that serve the goals and don't get in the way (unlike, say, CoC's rules, which sometimes do, and others of which are rendered vestigial)...

$200K That's absolutely nothing. I personally know people in the games industry who paid a lot more than that by themselves lol. Stop pretending they were in trouble.

Yeah 200k is basically nothing given that they had nearly 400 employees at that point. Seriously that's like what, the to-employer costs of 2-4 employees? That is absolutely basically breaking even. I had assumed that it was at least $5m-$10m for it to be even worth mentioning. Christ.

Man Hawke was the one time, the goddamn one time when "pre-created character" 100% landed for me. Hawke was boss. Like, I tried to make a better-looking character than default Hawke, and I just couldn't even come close, and it wasn't just the engine, Male Hawke looked amazing. I don't even like...

The thing with Barker is that he's honest and direct about sex and sexuality, and he's a very openly gay man so some things people think he's fetishizing, well, he clearly is not. He's just writing horror and/or fantasy that involves sexual elements, and some people always read sexual elements...

RMSS baby, wow I remember spending literally like 2 days (admittedly lazy, unfocused days) with a couple of friends where we succeeded in creating precisely 1 PC each and we still weren't 100% confident we'd got it right. At that point we decided we'd probably better stick with MERP if we were...

I might want to express a lot of things more clearly, but unfortunately I'm kind of a verbose idiot so... wait... I'm not sure where I'm going with this! But I think we're on the same page now lol.

I mean, you'd think right? But Swen specifically said it wasn't one of the two games they were developing next after BG3, and repeated that later. Probably for the best for the reasons @JConstantine and I were discussing. Then we're back to the key problem. WotC want to do it with an in-house...
