Perhaps. Really all I was getting at is that in this case we are discussing data which, not only went through the inherent problems of surveys, but is reported secondhand from WotC's cherrypicked highlight "facts", and that there is an additional filter that WotC, at some times for some...

And a yard is a basically disfavored unit of measurement in the systems that have it. Americans use it almost exclusively for dimensions related to athletics, and because it is a decent unit to measure distances run. Even when we use yardsticks we are actually concerned about using them to...

I mean perhaps in the sense of each of them individually not wanting enough changes to merit a ".5" but once they all get their preferred tweaks it comes to a ".5". I can buy that as a possible explanation, but I think there must also be some contingent of the design team that very much wants a...

I can imagine that I might refuse to use a system based on the metric measurements, so I voted no. But it would have to be pretty obtrusive, and there would have to be very comparable games equally available. Basically I think the metric system is a stupid system based on fetishizing ease of...

Such a nice quote. Exactly what I want to hear. Too bad it's not only kind of true. I don't care about the terminology. Whether or not it's a "new edition", OneD&D is a more substantial redesign than I wanted, and, I would argue, more of a change than a 5e player whose only knowledge of OneD&D...

I would definitely want to know more about the methodology of this survey before I put much stock in it, especially since WotC, who no doubt conducted or commissioned it, is presumably only interested in getting at information about their customers or potential customers, not all the people off...

Sadly my playtesting group never quite materialized, and now I'm moving in a couple of months for a new job, so this whole project is mostly on hold. So nope, no playtest data yet. That said, I'm not too concerned about the two attacks thing, having designed all my character classes with that...

I mean I'm not sure how much it lends itself to luxury resort, but the dark, sleazy crimeboss lair is pretty solid theming for a casino.

There is absolutely no shortage of Star Wars branded products of all sorts available, even if you only happen to see the Grogu ones. I think you must just be tuning out as a given the constant coming and going of Star Wars video games, Star Wars t-shirts, editions of Star Wars Monoply, etc...

That really gets at the heart of the problem. Normal rich people don't want to pay for the dingy, lived-in aesthetic of Star Wars. That is the exact opposite of a premium resort experience to them. So this was exclusively a place for proper fans who had an extra $5k to spend on a Star Wars...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. Leveling up is really not difficult at all. But if by "character creation at higher levels" you mean starting as a high level character, yes that is a lot of character creation work all at once, and frankly, sometimes it's can be too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm...

And Lucasfilm did the whole weird Shadows of the Empire roll out in 1996 as basically a dry run for marketing a Star Wars movie in the late 90s, with a novel, video game, soundtrack album, toys, concept art book, comic book, and other merchandise. Basically everything that comes with a Star Wars...

I prefer the Conan show's version of this joke from ten years ago, but the two pieces are clearly working within very different constraints:

She's a stickler to rules and traditions, not to whatever sense is behind them. It's sort of a lot of that character in a nutshell.

Because it sounds better. As I've said before, I think Din Djarin was less a well-thought-out hero name than a Star Wars name generator name purposely chosen to emphasize how ordinary the man behind the mask was on some level in this galaxy of nobles and dynastic jedi, with the intention that...

It was a missile attack warning in 2018. There was an employee who had a troubling history of confusing drills with reality who, nevertheless, was in charge of the "alert everyone in Hawaii of incoming missile through unified tv announcement, radio announcement, and cell phone notification"...

Unless it's Star Wars, in which case most fans seem to only ever do both simultaneously.

Given that they brought the actress in and incorporated the relationship into the season opener, it does seem unlikely the writers actually forgot about her. My assumption would be that they addressed that in some draft of the finale or even filmed it, and it just got lost on the cutting room...

It is certainly a "new edition" in the sense the term is used for most things outside of certain rpgs, as in it is a revision of existing material. It is probably not a "new edition" in the special meaning of the term used for certain rpgs where it actually means "sequel game". I voted yes...
