TBF, Lost was pretty awesome for a long time, but the problem with a mystery show is....you have to solve the mysteries. And I think Lost was a victim of its own success. If it had been a 3 season show lets say....could have been rock solid. We get all these cool mysteries in season 1, some...

There was a comment at some point in that episode about a life without pain being a goal or a tenent of Kier....I don't remember the exact wording. So yeah, I do think that's a key part of it with Gemma and the crib, the goal is to showcase she can handle what would normally be a super...

Yeah, so after resurrecting this thread from a year and a few months ago, have there been any big shakeups in the streaming business?

Mechanically, a Tiny race does come with a number of benefits and challenges. It would take some doing to make it viable right out of the box, but it likely could be done. My favorite using of the tiny size race was in Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved (back in the 3e days). In that case though you...

I can respect this. For example, not having read the books, Perrin's story in the show I don't care a lick for, its only because the Ogre is so awesome that those scenes do any kind of entertaining for me. Matt at least has this cool mysterious "what is happening to him" angle, but I can also...

Yes very well done. When you first see the scene when the queen enters and this happens...it comes across as a real miss, and I wondered if it was foreshadowing like she had gotten hurt or messed up by the fighting, as that was just not the sort of miss the grand herald of the tower would make...

Plot-wise the only Terminator sequal past 2 that made any sense was Salvation. The notion of showing the actual war and how John actually becomes the great leader that he was destined for was a solid piece of unexplored narrative ripe for a movie. While its not my favorite movie it has purpose...

Are you talking about WOT (wheel or time) or Game of Thrones (GOT)?

Maybe its intended as a metaphor for "here is a guy that is drinking fine wine with a nice suit....but look at the grotesquery he is consuming....a return to his darker side". Or maybe they just thought kingpin would like that kind of meal...who knows.

There is also the simple fact that humanity's core philosophies and beliefs about its place in the universe would have gotten rocked to the core after the blip. Sure we know there were superpowered individuals, and extraterrestials....ok that's a big one. But now apparently one of those aliens...

3 eps into S3....and it continues to get better. Yeah I've put the issues with S1 aside and I think its a solid show now.

@Echohawk you are a saint and a scholar, thank you so very much! I heap upon thee all the praise I can muster!

yep haven't even done that. Ok I made a campaign. Do my players need to be subscribers to join the campaign or can I just put their characters in there? I don't mind moving their characters for example, I just want to get the map and the tokens up when we do our calls and then share the screen...

Hey all, So periodically people tell me how great the dnd beyond Maps program is....but every time I have tried to use it, I just can't get it to do basically anything. I am sure I am just completely misunderstanding even the basics of how to get started. What I am trying to do is this: 1)...

Ultimately, I don't think Kreese was truly "redeemed", which I was actually very happy about. Silver and Kreese at the end of the day were murderers, are at least serial attempted murders. It would be easy to do the classic "well they do a good thing and now everything is hunky dory" that often...

Yeah when you watch the scenes with zara and then compare it to some of the other kids its really apparent that she has real skill. Her scenes are both smoother, but just a lot FASTER, everything is quicker.

Yeah I do think we have to get our terms straight in these discussions. To me, tedious is the notion that a round of combat is going very slowly. Therefore I as a player have to wait a long time to my next turn, but the fight itself is still intense or impactful. I think of a slog as....there...

So some of the foundational questions to get out of the way: 1) Will this class be able to utilize int vs cha....or will it use one of those stats? 2) Is the source of magic selected at 1st level (which does go against the grain a bit of 2024 5e design) or chosen at 3rd level when classes...

This is one of those classic "complexity vs speed" type scenarios. Dnd has chosen to stay on the higher side of the complexity spectrum when it comes to combat. Both in the number of combat options, as well as the mechanism to resolve those actions. Now its no where the highest (like a GURPS...

in Season 1? Actors - They have one decently named actor, everyone else are basically no names. Makeup and clothes?....it is CHEAP looking. the SFXs are limited and nothing special for modern shows. On a $10 million an episode budget.... which GOT didn't hit till season 6 for example (now I...
