    Civil War | Official Trailer HD | A24

    I assume any real 'Civil War' would not be along state lines, but would instead have urban centers mostly on one side, and rural areas on the other, leading to a lot of terror attacks, militia raids, and infrastructure disruption, with no big battles between armies. And another big flaw is that...

    WotBS Fuzzybear's Burning Sky

    Rhuarc was the name of a PC in a game that occurred before WotBS. Maybe the player liked Wheel of Time. I've never read it.

    Godzilla Minus One - Official Trailer (2023)

    I got to see it in Tokyo last month. My wife and I had a great time!

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    Because the TARDIS knows what it's doing. Gatwa will go on adventures to save the world. Tennant will get a vacation.

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    I mean, it's just a silly joke, with no rational basis, because the word gravity in English comes from the Latin gravitas, meaning weight. I can forgive Doctor who getting space science wrong a lot, so I guess I can forgive it getting linguistics wrong too.

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    My assumption is that the tardis is flexible in what defines as a language. After all, Isaac Newton sounded the way that we expect someone from the 17th century to sound, even though that's not how they actually sounded. The tardis is making things easy for our mostly British audience to...

    Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials [[SPOILERS!!]]

    There's no need to ever address mavity again. The TARDIS translates, remember? Well, forevermore whenever it's around, it'll translate mavity into gravity. Just this one episode it couldn't.

    ZEITGEIST Worldres' Zeitgeist Campaign

    I'm intrigued that you had an article from 12 years on your mind. :D And how things go when you've got two separate unshakable 10% groups. I suppose I'm skeptical. Also, Worldres, I need to commend your players for all the player journals on AO3. I wish I had the time to read through all of...

    ZEITGEIST Worldres' Zeitgeist Campaign

    "Progress does not happen with a single voice." That's a good line. It adroitly sums up a rather long series of posts from Tim Urban of 'Wait But Why' which he sadly took down from his site in order to turn into a book: https://waitbutwhy.com/whatsourproblem

    ZEITGEIST Worldres' Zeitgeist Campaign

    This is amazing. I love all the art. I need to get around to reading the longer pieces. And I'm honored to have something I wrote get even a comparison to the ending of The Good Place. God that show was amazing. I am curious if, like, any of the action sequences in the later adventures were...

    ZEITGEIST Worldres' Zeitgeist Campaign

    My wife and I are in Kyoto on vacation for a couple weeks. Amid a lot of serenity and beauty, your post is like a snort of wasabi. Jesus, that “they won – and so did we” meme burns bright in the pantheon of D&D Lore. Also, yay for Owlbear Rodeo! It's what my group has been using for our remote...

    D&D General Crisis on Infinite Subraces! Suggest a plausible subrace that doesn't exist

    Dungeonborn. It's Dungeons and Dragons, and we have characters descended from dragons. Well we need characters awoken from parts of dungeons. Pittrapfolk. Spikewallfolk. Living sumps. Jailbarmen. Sphereofannihilationborn.

    Spoilers The Marvels (Spoilers)

    Man, I wish Secret Invasion had been used as a premise for, like, Avengers 4. Release it after The Marvels. SPOILERS FOR BOTH Giah (Talos's daughter) is shown in The Marvels as working for Fury on SABER, being friends with Monica, and being anxious about the Skrull-Kree peace talks. After the...

    WotBS New Game Plus in the Fire Forest

    I have mentioned elsewhere that my group needed me to fill in for a few weeks while our main campaign went on hiatus for the GM to plan his wedding. I filled that hiatus with a campaign I knew I could run with no prep: War of the Burning Sky. I knew my group was in the mood for something...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    I think 'cannot interfere' is a guess, one I suspect will be wrong. I mean, if Hiddleston wants to retire from Marvel and live comfortably doing Shakespeare in London, he's earned it. But if I had Disney money and a chance to write a multiverse saga, I absolutely would find a way to bring back...

    Spoilers The Marvels (Spoilers)

    Carol has a lot of small moments of frustration because she gets entangled with the other two, and so when she is confident she could whup ass, she sometimes ends up swapping places and so can't hit her stride. In the first movie I don't recall that much real, y'know, swagger. I'd say she had a...
