    D&D 5E (2014) I NEED HELP ON SOME CAMPAIGN PROBLEMS!!!

    Just my opinion but you should never ever say anything like this to players. It makes them feel like they are just along for the ride as you have a planned story line for their characters. They do not feel danger in battle, nor do they feel accomplishment in victory. I knew a guy who was in a...

    D&D 5E (2014) 2 PC Wizards Copying Each others spell books

    To me the only real problem with copying each others spellbooks is the "other stuff". A spellbook is much more than a magical version of your mom's favorite Betty Crocker cookbook. It is their list of spells yes, buts its also research journal, note pad, and personal diary. Let someone else...

    D&D 5E (2014) 2 PC Wizards Copying Each others spell books

    Okay, so you can use the same logic for magic weapons, magic armor, and just about any other item a player may look for in hopes of improving their character.

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    What did the fleet do? It stuck around as a viable target. Otherwise the DS2 with Luke on-board would have hyperspaced away to avoid being damaged for no good reason. Of course Poe will get another ship, its a flipping movie, they will all get new ships and new everything, but it wont be...

    At the very least you would expect the FO to ask themselves "Why did the Resistance run here? Maybe they have allies on those planets, lets go check them out" and then at the very least do flyovers of them all. But yes, both sides are in a race to the bottom of the barrel of incompetence.

    The battle in ROTJ does not make a whole lot of sense for the reason you mention. The only thoughts that come to mind are that the location of the DS was not known well enough for fighters to jump in close. They would have been out a ways and that would make them targets for Cap Ships...

    I'm not a Leia fan, she is arrogant and the actress is dead. They killed the good original cast so be done with her too. Well the fleet and it's fighters you know kind if blew up the DS. I know it's a minor thing but Luke didn't and the ground forces didn't. Sent from my [device_name] using...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    At the end of ESB they had an entire fleet secure in hiding. Now you have one barely trained Jedi, an old woman, a pilot without a ship, and a coward former Storm Trooper. Yoda showed up once to affect the real wold to burn down a tree. Luke is not coming back. Luckily Leia is not either.

    The lost the planet bombardment ship at the beginning of the movie which one would think is a huge loss but Leia still felt that the lost of the dozen or so bombers sent in to do the job was too high a cost. So that tells you she is either a fool or the scale of armaments between the FO and the...

    "Bright" on NetFlix (Spoilers)

    Actually I think the answer if ever given will be "Magic's" far more annoying half brother of convenience "Prophecy".

    Hard Sun - enforcing the law as the end of the world approaches

    There is theoretical work on what is called Micro Black Holes, so possibly one could enter our solar system, be small enough to not destabilize all the orbits and then over time affect the Sun bringing about the end of life on Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole

    Sure there is a chance they would check the planets, but planets are big things and they might not bother or they might miss the base. Its not the best plan but it was better than what they felt their alternatives were. Poe's plan was better and would have probably worked if leadership had...

    "Bright" on NetFlix (Spoilers)

    Except that grabbing a wand is not the only way to know if a Human was a bright. Didnt the drunk guy with the sword say that Will Smith's character was a Bright? Either they have some other way of knowing or the story is that this guy talked out of his butt AND Will Smith happened to be a...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    Yes it would have made a difference. The Resistance plan was to stealth to the planet and when the cruiser was destroyed the FO would think the resistance was all dead and not go checking that random planet nearby because they did not see any ships go to it. Eventually the FO leaves and the...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    I would have to rewatch the scene, which I have no interest in doing but Poe learned very last minute after being stunned about the cloak plan. At that point disabling the active sensor would be pointless and needlessly risky. It would also suggest that Poe is a complete and utter moron and the...

    Climate change -- what's really happening

    Can I recommend that you be banned for this comment? Especially since it is obvious that Cthulu, who was imprisoned under the Arctic ice is slowly awakening and the ark power of his evil thoughts is melting the Ice Caps in hopes of destroying the last of the Polar Bears, the great race that...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    This movie was a train wreck in every possible way. The only true saving grace was Luke casually dusting off his shoulder. 1. How did the expert hacker who was never on the rebel cruiser know the plan to use cloaked transports to escape (a plane our idiot XWing pilot didnt know until the very...

    "Bright" on NetFlix (Spoilers)

    Watched the movie last night. Entertaining but had some points that got tired of quick. 1. Will Smith's character being an epic a-hole to everyone out the gate got old fast. 2. The social commentary was as heavy handed as a wrecking ball. 3. I felt like someone wrote a book of backstory and...

    Where Do They Get Their Plagues?

    Very interesting, a lot of this though is based on society. DnD often looks like the ancient or medieval world but it is not. Most DnD worlds have history as long or longer than our real history. The difference being magic vs technology. So it is not really fair to assume the average farmer or...
