OK but a chainmail bikini is still made out of chainmail, which is a medieval thing. A fantasy axe is still an axe, which is something people fought with in the Middle Ages. It's not like Red Sonja is depicted wearing a bikini made of stretchy swimsuit material. Nor is Conan depicted wielding a...

You're probably right. I just like to try and have things make sense in my head.

Yes, but as others have pointed out, those historical high-heeled shoes didn't look like modern pumps or stilettos, like these do: Like, I know that the "Written in Blood" adventure set in Godsbreath is meant to have a Southern Gothic vibe, so in that sense, I understand why all the art has...

No! Because of course a lot of them are adopted, like Jango Fett and Din Djarin were. But you've also got Duchess Satine Kryze speaking with an aristocratic British accent while her young sister Bo-Katan speaks with a harsh American one. Yes, and I guess that's something that the Disney+ shows...

Hmm. Odd. I suppose Weyland and David could've been aware of the moon and the signal from the derelict without knowing exactly what was there. Thus Ash and the Nostromo are sent to find out what is causing the signal but there is no foreknowledge that it's an Engineer ship containing xenomorph eggs.

Like, if you look at the OT only, it would seem to suggest that it's the classic American take where British accent = bad guy and American accent = good guy, with a few exceptions (e.g. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mon Mothma). Like, that even got lampooned in the Thumb Wars movie ("I have a question: Why do...

So we know that Weyland-Yutani knows about the xenomorph species because David sent them a report after the events of Alien: Covenant, but we still don't know how WY learned about the crashed alien spaceship on LV426, right? That's still a mystery?

This was my complaint about some of the art in the Radiant Citadel book when it first came out. I know it's meant to be all non-Western European cultural stuff, but even then, it just all feels too "modern" - like it would belong more in a d20 Modern sourcebook rather than a D&D one.

Let’s not forget that Rey speaks with Daisy Ridley’s natural British accent despite having grown up an orphan on a desert world. That alone seems to render accents in Star Wars pretty meaningless. That and the fact that Andor didn’t lose Diego Luna’s accent despite growing up surrounded by...

I’d be surprised if the Federstion doesn’t send a ship to investigate the wreckage. I mean, the scavengers did almost destroy Starfleet’s flagship, and they had fancy tech that could absorb phaser blasts. People are going to want to find out more about it.

I’m liking the mysteries this season. I wouldn’t say it was “completely meaningless”. They may revisit it later on. We don’t know!

Interesting. Thank you both for explaining.

That was another fantastic episode with a bit of a hard lesson for young Kirk!

Can you see this post? https://www.enworld.org/threads/next-issue-of-game-informer-will-have-details-on-the-two-upcoming-forgotten-realms-books.714383/page-10#post-9714748 So even if it's there, if you don't see it, you won't believe it? ;)

Yeah, that would be awesome, and Mike's actually done a little bit of that before. Here's his "zoomed in" map of the Daggerford area showing all the little farms and villages that aren't on the more zoomed out maps. (WotC was originally planning on including Daggerford as a sample area in the...

She does not mind. She's watched Alien, Aliens, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, and Alien: Romulus.

@Ruin Explorer your comments are getting me excited to watch this show. My 17 yo is into the Alien franchise, so I'll watch it with her.

The post that came before the post I was replying to. Post #88. Maybe you are blocking or being blocked by that poster?

Episode II establishes that the Geonosians designed the Death Star as the "ultimate weapon". I think they may have been initially involved in its construction as well before Palpatine had them all exterminated.

The Sword Coast is more settled than the zoomed-out maps make it look. There are lots of little farms, villages, thorps, hamlets, communes, and the like that simply don't get included on the maps. The area between Waterdeep and Daggerford is basically all settled farmland. Most of the area...
