Yes! It's what I've been meaning to say - I feel that the spots where they tossed aside the science for the magic didn't work for me. But you are right - if you only look at the parts that are correctly science, and ignore the parts that are magic (even where those parts cross-over with the...

I don't have numbers available, but I expect it would be in the ten+ million. But I'm guessing. * * Based on experience, indirect but actual knowledge, and a gut that I trust, and that trust keeps me in business for being able to guess these sorts of things, but feel free to dismiss it. Who...

One of the things that I like about this Starter is that it is one of the only Introductory products to have ever even attempted to solve of of the game's great "problems"* That is, it comes with all of the battlemaps and "miniatures" (in the form of cardboard "pogs") that you "need" to run the...

I meant people back on earth in the past. Not, say, someone with you on whatever vessel you took to get in there.

Yes, I get that it is a different thing - I just didn't remember which part was relevant to the film, and I'm not sure it mattered which one the film was talking about, as it immediately went into fantasy. Sure, sure, I get it. You and Umbran are nit-picking details of my admittedly poorly...

Team Lake Bjorn watched as the scrawny lizardfolk struggled to get free of the growing number of crazed predatory fish that had appeared from here and there around the lake. It was a strange behavior for the fish, and it was obvious that the lizardfolk had not expected to be in so much danger...

If you say so. I don't find it plausible at all. "We don't know what happens" isn't really the same thing as "We can totally make up anything and it's all just as likely as anything else". Ultimately, it doesn't matter - I may have said that I didn't like the "science" of the film, or more...

IDK, but does it matter? We all agree that you aren't likely to wind up consciously able to control space-time so you can return to your house and talk to your kid, or whatever, right? I probably need to add: I have not seen this movie since it was first in the cinema. If I say things that are...

By "they" I mean the people that made, and the people that have reviewed the move. Not ALL of them, I'm sure, just the general talk about it. I guess the part that I've objected to is that IME, the movie was, and is, usually talked about in a general sense, without any caveats as to which...

Yes, and you could make a case for that making you "inside a black hole", I suppose, but I'm referring to the part where all of your matter becomes part of the singularity. I don't think that there's any way to be alive when that happens. Or, "conscious", or "transcend existence" or any of that...

It seems a lot easier to imagine if it is a property of the crossbow itself (like a repeating crossbow) - It's one of my few (major) disappointments with 5e - I find the equipment part of the game to be very unfortunately lacking. But then, I'd be happy for a vast increase in complexity for the...

I always find that one funny - how, exactly?

Yes, and I get what you're saying, but them saying, "We're continuing the 50th Celebration into 2025!" (Meaning: By releasing the MM in February), is not a matter of them lying, or even stretching the truth. They did that, and it's done.

Svetanna shrugged and said lazily, "What runes? Oh, those? Did they do something? I wasn't watching."

Yes, but they tend to speak of it in a general sense - "This movie has the best science ever!" Sure, except for the climate science, the fact that they flew FROM SPACE onto a water-world but didn't know that a tidal wave was coming in a few minutes, the magic use of the black hole, etc, etc...

I've always hated this movie. It's not that it was actually bad, really, it's just that I find the bragging about how supposedly good the "science" is in it to be... overblown. For example, I don't believe for a second that a person can go into a black hole and survive. It's ridiculous magic...

My little comic and game store had sold close to 200 copies during the time that it was in print. Going back, I can see that every other starter for a D&D, or D&D-like game sold in their lifetimes never more than 20 copies, but more often in the teens or even single digits. Seriously. It sold...

Stratus had hoped that Caer would take care of the child, as he was uncomfortable with children - they were so very small. But he sighed, realizing that he should have known better, as Caer had no softness whatsoever. Stratus could tell that all his talk of 'monsters' was only going to scare the...

Nah. That was just a spin to explain the MM coming out later than intended.
