    New "Stargate" series announced

    Oh sure, my point was that an actress' pregnancy doesn't automatically mean that has to get included in the plot. In SGU's case, I respect the actress got pregnant, but the plot was so similar to the 200th episode satire that I just couldn't help but laugh when this episode came out.

    New "Stargate" series announced

    Amanda Tapping's pregnancy was not written into the show, she went on maternity leave and Valla's character took over for Carter during that period. And shows can have pregnant actresses without actually making their character's pregnant, it is a thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone ever had a PC take multiple subclasses?

    Probably the way I would do this is....use normal multiclassing rules. But when you hit a subclass choice for your multiclass, you can choose a subclass from the first class. Aka a Fighter 3 / Warlock 3 could take Battle Master and Champion (and get the lvl 3 abilities for each). Battle Master...

    Ravenloft, the Movie

    Honestly I would do ravenloft without Strahd, which might sound like blasphemy to some....but I think the creative juice is in the stories you can tell within the cool world structure of Ravenloft...and you avoid it just being some same old vampire movie. Lots of other realms and dark lords in...

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    So far Friar Tuck is my favorite character. Thoughtful, intelligent, I like how he has been the brain of the operations in some of these endeavors. A lot better than the fat drunken Prince of Thieves version:)

    D&D General Geralt what class

    Yeah so the question for me, what about the ranger are you seeking that you need to get those levels? Skills can be convered by a background or a feat. Looking at the ranger's general ability list: 1) Deft Explorer: Geralt doesn't seem to be a big linguist, and while he is skilled he doesn't...

    D&D 5E (2024) Eldritch Knight

    Its mainly used in our campaigns to defang a spellcaster when they have been capture. Alright tie up teh wizard, remove his staff, that should keep him docile. That kind of thing.

    D&D General Geralt what class

    The trick with me is...I don't think Geralt is using the vast majority of the ranger kit, at least not narratively (I am mainly going off the tv show, so perhaps the game is a lot more "rangery". Most of the naturey ranger spells Geralt doesn't use. The ones he does are much more in line with...

    D&D General Geralt what class

    Fighter with eldritch knight seems to cover all of the spell and fighting needs. Use a background to get the survival esque skills he needs. What is that really missing?

    New "Stargate" series announced

    The dozens of posts about how difficult it can be to maintain high level dnd campaigns leaves my skeptical….because SG1 at its core is a dnd adventuring campaign

    New "Stargate" series announced

    When SGU had the episode were someone got pregnant and I immediately had a flashback of SG1 200 episode where they had that same scene in a mocking way for how silly it was..,I never recovered. Its other big issue was lack of a real villain. BSG had the cyclons chasing as the ever present...

    New "Stargate" series announced

    I'm glad its not a reboot, but one thing I am worried is how "OP" Earth was by the end of the first series. Effectively SG is a big dnd adventure, the group starts out at 1st level, and by the end its a full 20th level series....teleports, super space ships, advanced weapons. The question of...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    The idea that Gargoyles are grown from their environment and that this influences their look and abilities is pretty solid, I like that a lot.

    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    Well they are doing it for Jason Mamoa (he will not be Aquaman but instead will be Lobo)....so I think that is what spured the question. now personally, I do think its silly to remove your old leads...just to put them in new roles. I respect if your starting fresh that you want to be new...

    D&D General Bannerets: The Tactical Geniuses with Int 8

    Its the classic problem with using any simple model to try and emulate the complexities of real people. For example charisma oftens is used as: 1) The "beauty" stat 2) The "force of personality" stat 3) The "strength of your soul" stat and of course, there are beautiful people that couldn't...

    Spoilers Pluribus

    I could see a concept such as: The alien overlord comes in, and the Pluribus is ready to serve. But...they have grown accomstomed to serving the 12, and the 12 leverage their authority to convince the Pluribus to resist the alien influence. And so Carol, who once was trying to defeat teh...

    Spoilers Pluribus

    I think the Helen aspect somewhat answers this. Helen is "dead", but to the hive mind all of her thoughts and memories are still with them. So they lost a small amount of useful productivity in the form of one less worker....but nothing "important" has been lost (we dust off thousands of cells...

    Spoilers Pluribus

    I think the key question is, is it really "human consciousness?" They certainly have all of our knowledge, but they act nothing like humans that we know. Do they actually experience anything like a human does? Its hard to say.
