A bit? Idris Elba is 53! If he did 5 films 3 years apart, he'd be 67 by the time he finished! He's missed the boat by about 20 years.

But you haven't told us from who? Did WotC charge you $30? Did a shipping company charge you $30? Did the Canadian government charge you $30? Did a passing dog in the street ask you for $30? Who did you pay $30 to and when? You said it was a 'surprise'? Was it before or after or during...

That's what I'm asking you.

I make my players lift heavy weights rather than make a Strength check. And Dexterity checks? That's what that tightrope is for!

I hope the ‘twist’ isn’t that it’s just Soylent Green. If it is, I’ll be disappointed. For what it’s worth, I think that’s way too obvious to be the twist—Vince Gilligan is a world class show writer. It’s gonna be more interesting than that.

Bookies don't know anything. Odds just change based on what people are betting on, but the people betting are just the general public--people like you and me (were I a betting man, which I'm not). They don't know anything either, and have access to exactly the same information we have.

Well sales tax or VAT or whatever it’s called locally is a pretty standard thing around the world. You’re going to pay that wherever the item came from. 7% is actually pretty darn low—VAT is about 20% here in the UK. Books are exempt though.

Ah, right. He’s in Canada? So reading that it’s not a new tariff or related to WotC books or a current trade war, it’s just Canada’s standard import duties. So that is blanket 5% import duty on all items over $20, and he paid $30. So the two FR books retailed for … $600? Something still...

Gosh. We’ll be sure to run our article titles past you in future.

That’s odd. Books are tariff-free. And the tariffs are for shipments going into the US—WotC prints in the US. And also $30 is way too high for that package even if there were tariffs. I feel like I’m missing part of the puzzle. Are you sure you paid tariffs? Who did you pay them to?

I think you’re the only person confused about this. Everybody seems to understand that this is a (D&D)5E -powered version of Traveller. Don’t worry about it. It’s fine. People aren’t confused.

Hey folks, since it's launching today--if you want to post about what happens in the show, please start a separate spoilers thread. Thanks!

I’m am loving this show. Currently my favourite on right now.

I think they’re more fun if they can be spotted, figured out, and circumvented by clever thinking rather than ability checks. The ability check should be available as a back up though.

The drone but was amusing. They’re impractical even in big spacious nearly empty areas. They’d last 2 seconds where I live. They’d have to navigate 10 times the obstacles. I don’t fear the drone delivery incursion any time soon. Can’t really blame the hive from starting away from Carol. She...

And ours is 10 times the size of anybody else's. :)

Well, technically there is. The algorithm is just very simple: sort by last post date.

I recently took Facebook off my phone. I need an account for work purposes, so I won't delete the account, but I have 1500 friends on there and it shows me occasional updates from maybe a half dozen of them. And maybe a dozen, max, respond to my posts, mainly the same 3-4 folks. I assume most of...

Loved the first one. Second one was OK. Looking forward to the third. I'd still rather he'd made another Bond film though... ah well!
