    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Nice. Thanks for sharing. One thing I find interesting is his omission of GL’s swapping out of middle-aged Anakin’s Force ghost for young Anakin’s Force ghost at the end of RotJ. That’s evidence that GL views Anakin and Vader as different people. (And yet Vader telling Luke that he is his...

    Right, and unless there’s some in-breeding that we don’t know about, Goody was not part of Morticia’s family line but rather Gomez’s. I think it was potentially a mistake to make Goody an Addams rather than a member of Morticia’s ancestry. They could have given her any old random surname and...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    That one makes sense because the whole thing was tailored to La’an’s preferences. She had a crush on Kirk after their time travel adventure, so it makes sense he’d feature in her holographic fantasy.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    Watching ep 9 now. Tiny detail but I love that Ortegas has model WW2 planes in her room. Division 12? Is that a new thing? Are they Starfleet’s version of the X-Files? Hey! They’re exploring a new section of space! How is there any atmosphere on that barren rock let alone breathable air...

    Yeah. I had been wondering if they’d try another dance routine this season. This one was epic, and they really upped the ante by making it a duet. I wonder if it will go viral on TikTok like Wednesday’s season 1 dance did. I guess in season 3 they’ll need to do a three-person dance routine. 😅

    D&D 5E (2024) How Would You Convert This Sword?

    Again, from ChatGPT: If the theme is Bhaalist (murder, poison, assassins) rather than a “holy anti-vampire relic,” then the flavor should swing from radiant/sunlight → poison/death motif. We can reskin and rebalance it without losing the intelligent-item feel. Here’s a revised version: The...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Would You Convert This Sword?

    I popped this into ChatGPT. Here's what it suggested: The Hollow Blade Weapon (shortsword), very rare (requires attunement by a non-undead creature) Intelligence. The Hollow Blade is a sentient neutral short sword with Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 14. It has hearing and normal vision out to 60 feet. It...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I really liked Discovery. I think it did a good job capturing the optimism of Star Trek. Quibble all you want about the implausibility of a mycellium network spore drive and all that. It still FELT like Star Trek to me. Voyager, on the other hand, FELT like a soap opera in space, and I bounced...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I got woken up by a bang from somewhere in the neighborhood early this morning. Then I noticed that the power was out. Won't be back on until early this afternoon. Apparently an "animal/bird" damaged the power lines nearby. So now I'm hotspotting off my work phone and hoping that my phone and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    @mearls has a cool-looking streamlined 5e game called Odyssey in the works. I’m more excited about that than I am any official WotC stuff.

    Well, that was fun! I knew zombie boy was going to be a major part of the story, but I didn't predict exactly how. I knew Dort and Capri were both up to something! I think episode 6 was my favorite of the season. I didn't expect Gwendoline Christie's Principal Weems to return. I liked...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I acknowledge and apologize for my own axe-grinding. I'm not even sure why I've got axes to grind. Maybe it's because I'm so close to falling off the D&D bandwagon that I'm using the axes to hold on for dear life?

    Part Two is out now! Watching … EDIT: Ha! I knew that was going to be Tyler’s mom. I wasn’t expecting Morticia and Gomez to know zombie boy, though. I thought he was much older than that. EDIT 2: OK I loved episode 6. Emma and Jenna are such good friends that they do such a fantastic job...
