Soap was a half hour sitcom that parodied soap operas. Had a great cast. My mom liked it.

I think it’s Billy Crystal on Soap, 1977. He was part of the regular cast.

I’m amused by all the people who seem to have forgotten that prior to the release of Jackson’s trilogy, he was best known for zombie gore comedies and a movie that ends with Kate Winslet helping her girlfriend bash her mom’s brains in with a rock. Not exactly the guy you’d trust with the Silver...

Hey, I’ve definitely run D&D scenarios involving brunch. I just don’t need a source book about it. (which isn’t to say I didn’t buy The Complete Book of Elf Brunches back in the 90s… it was a long time ago and my memory isn’t great anymore).

That last episode was pure classic Star Trek. It presented both sides of the argument: the right one and the wrong one. By the end the government threw realpolitik into the trash bin and did the most idealistic thing possible in defense of trans... ahem, Moclan female rights. So glad this...

Ah, the classic “use-value” vs “splat books about Elven brunch customs-value”. I don’t really have a blink dog in this fight since I mostly homebrew. That said, I like the 5e fiction-bits but have a great deal of fondness for the 2e-era splats & related supplements.

The barbarian in my current game is a lawyer with anger management issues. Anyhow... this looks legitimately good. It feels like they nailed the tone. Is Pine coming off a bit Nathan Fillion these days, or is that just me?

In the 5e game I’m running, the Foretold in the Book of the Arc are… Beauregard Baryonyx, Esq., a tortle totem warrior barbarian and lawyer Sackjacket, a kenku swarmkeeper ranger Aoeyn, a drow pact of the tone warlock (Great Old One) Sitra Achra, a fallen aasimar pact of the chain warlock...

My big takeaway from the first season is maybe the Karachi stuff would have worked better in the second season. The two opening episodes did such a great job establishing Kamala in Jersey City; putting a character in a place like all good fiction is supposed to do (well, most), bringing both to...

Nigh infinite. (my character is the setting since I’m running our 5e campaign) I think the median CON among the PCs is 14.

AD&D and earlier. Wait, make that 2e and earlier, since it's so mechanically similar and a lot of the setting material 2e was known for has their roots in 1e.

All of the above. Huh. In my defense HBOMax, Prime, and Peacock are technically perks from other services and Hulu/Disney is a bundle. And Apple TV was free for a year after I bought a new MacBook. Then I forgot to cancel. And then Severance was amazing, and For All Mankind was back for season...

Season 2 just finished shooting! S01E10 was a strong end to a strong first season. Damnit Jim, they did it. They figured out the tone, cast and writing for an updated TOS for the 21st century. Sure, it’s not as groundbreaking as the original, which helped bring science fiction for adults to the...

What you do is political. What I do is normal. This drives me crazy, too.

They’re halflings into magic or machines.

Got the artifact. Now what? (It‘s The Graduate as D&D)

No worries! It’s all fun and games… until someone publishes a white supremacist reboot of Star Frontiers. Well, threatens to publish.

Interesting. Did M’Benga catch him in the transporter? I’m trying to recall where the doc was in that scene. Wait, you said the character’s gone. What other shows are planned for that era?

I’m pretty sure I was being sarcastic. That’s why I used the awkward phrase ‘thinking disabilities’ and mentioned waivers. Damn, tone is hard online!

Good point!
