It did feel a bit clumsy in the writing. I think they meant for it to be a bonding and learning moment for Odo, but yeah...

Im curious what those rules were since Mongoose hasnt really changed much of the Traveller base?

I think the issue is looking at info being gated like a room with a locked door. Simple roll, simple open. Simple diplo/intimi/bluff get info. For me its more of a social exploration experience. The opening check might simply be for the starting disposition of the NPC. The conversation still...

If I had to guess it was more about relating the RPG to media being consumed by folks. There was a fantasy explosion in the 70's that D&D lead right into. Then, in the 80's video games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy took the formula and trained youngsters on how to do it. Which led into the...

Thing is YZE games are unique in experience compared to one another despite sharing a foundation. YZE works in a way that I believe FFG Gensys was intended to work. Or I should say it works in delivery in ways 5E reskins don’t.

It is right here. Gaslands.

Its more or less resolved at the end when Bashir is like, "yeah I dont want play darts...but maybe in a few weeks." I thought this was an excellent episode, if somewhat ship in a bottle. One of the themes for the Bashir character is maturing through experience, and Miles has already taken that...

Yeah thats a tank you can safely ignore at that point. I was rocking a schreck this weekend in Vegas. I just parked it on the first hill I came across and fired PPCs until it couldn't. Was pretty effective.

Reminds me a lot of the recent what is a hit thread?. I think a “classic” is often a hit that defined or redefined its category. Something that feels timeless in that as it will never become dated or irrelevant.

The misspelling through me off…years ago

Passed is one way to say it. More like, “we can’t put that on network television!”

We don’t get a ton of time with Earth in Star Trek. Most of it is ships out in space on the frontier. Though DS9 has the talked about here segment. I took the credits thing as more of a way to manage beam travel on a planet of billions of people. That’s gotta be a lot of traffic. Hard to know...
