Yeah that has traditionally been the explanation. You can't hold things in the transporter buffer for very long because it "degrades". That was actually one of the big first season plots, M'Benga had to bring his daughter out periodically from the medical transporter because otherwise she would...

Yeah I like to think of it as....the "Progenitor" races evolved relatively quickly on galactic scales because they were designed to. Whereas truly naturally occuring sentient races like the gorn took many more million or maybe even a billion years to get to where they were. And perhaps why the...

I enjoyed the "dnd dungeon" episode. hehe the only thing that was ridiculously out of left field was the whole "effect than cause thing". Not that there couldn't be some crazy dimension where that was possible. But rather Spock after one little possible application of that, and considering all...

Daggerheart hasn't actually been officially released until pretty recently. Sure the early access version has been out for a while but its not the same thing. So of course I would expect most of their ongoing shows to be still running dnd, they aren't going to switch systems in the middle of a...

There is a major difference between 1e and 5e in this regard. As noted, in 1e level differences were expected because of xp differences between classes. A level X thief and a level X magic users weren't "equal level" in the way we think of it now. In 5e terms, I would never want to DM mixed...

That is my problem though, Kal never does try to get Zod away from the city. If there was a genuine attempt and Zod sees right through, fair play to the villain alright give me my epic throwdown. But Kal makes basically no effort, they just start throwing hands....killing hundreds if not...

Yeah but we are already moving into the stage where AI is programming AI (and I don't mean tentatively I mean full steam ahead). All you need is one AI agent that thinks the AI agent they will build would be better off with some self-preservation programming and its off to the races. The simple...

To me its got to be Daggerheart. It just doesn't make sense business wise to do anything else. This way they get some Dimension 20 fans looking at DH as well as they come in for BLM.

I mean if we think about it. Spock is a man stronger than any human man, brilliant, well spoken, extremely accomplished, with incredible discipline, but has emotional issues and trouble expressing himself. Its the definition of a chick magnet! :)

oh yeah there is a scene where she hugs him, it was probably then that something "felt off"

Honestly its probably the most realistic holodeck episode, in terms of "we are literally alpha testing this software, so of course its going to malfunction and do crazy stuff". The only part I didn't like was the "spock reveal". I know La'an is saying he seemed extra cold and stuff...I just...

I think you meant get them surrounded so they can showoff how ridiculously awesome and tanky they are. Seriously, its literally the entire point of the class to me. You can just run into danger and not give a crap because you are just that tanky and awesome.

The quote: "The Rage lasts until the end of your next turn, and it ends early if you don Heavy Armor or have the Incapacitated condition. If your Rage is still active on your next turn, you can extend the Rage for another round by doing one or more of the following" This sentence gives the...

You opened the door for "others may interpret it differently". And while in the natural language of 5e there are certainly big honking grey areas....there is no grey in the words "can" and "must" in 5e language. If people start interpreting a can statement as a must statement, that creates a...

I am always reminded of crop circles when considering "fringe beliefs". For a long time people could not explain crop circles. Experts would come out and say it had to be some weird freezing or unfreezing thing, and of course aliens were assumed". All of that lingered for years....until a group...

If people start interpreting CAN as MUST, that is going to create a whole nest of problems in 5e. Lots of places where CAN is used, and is intended to be voluntary.

that's an interesting idea, I like that.

https://www.enworld.org/threads/70-of-games-end-at-lvl-7.714552/ So the link above reminds us that 2019 playtest data reveals what a lot of us already suspected, that for the vast majority of groups, 10th level is the real capstone. 7th and 8th levels are often the endpoint, and high levels is...

It was another disposable netflix movie like the other dozen that have been cranked out lately. I had a few laughs, had a couple hours of entertainment, and I will probably forget all about it in a few months.

So magic items tend to be more limited in 5e....but healing potions are often a special case. So how many healing potions do you tend to give your party? (see poll above). Also curious what types of healing potions you often give them.
