You do you, but it's surprisingly good. It's not amazeballs the way Babylon 5 or the occasional Star Trek or Doctor Who episode is, but it's really solid. I'd probably stop after season 8 though. That resolves most things, and then they introduce a new threat in season 9 that's just like the...

It ain't no joke.

My understanding is that it's going to be mostly on the mundane side of things (well, as mundane as Draw Steel gets), and going to the sun is going to be a tiny bit of the whole.

More that I want something similar to 4e's roles. In 4e, you likely wanted a healer leader in your party. But that leader didn't have to be a cleric casting healing word or cure wounds. It could be a warlord shouting at you that you don't have time to bleed, or a bard playing soothing music, or...

From the Avatar Magic set that's about to be released:

I personally couldn't care less about niche protection – any core role should be able to be filled by any number of classes*. You shouldn't need to have a Cleric for healing – that role should be able to be performed by a number of other classes (of course depending on how many classes the...

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure the mindswap stones were established on SG-1 a couple of years before SG:U. Which reminds me of one of the things I liked about Stargate: while it was mostly episodic, it was pretty good at maintaining logical continuity. If a thing got solved, it stayed...

To a large degree, I blame Cas Anvar (the actor playing Alex). He was credibly accused by ~40 people for sexual harassment and/or assault, things were investigated, and he was fired (that's why the character dies in such a weird way at the end of season 5). But not having him on the show messes...

There are two kinds of teams, which we can exemplify using the X-Men and the Justice League. The X-Men are built to be a team. They usually have complimentary abilities, and they emphasize teamwork (just look at the iconic Fastball Special). Sometimes team members go off on their own, but...

In my experience, it's not uncommon for skill-based games to still have some class-based elements. This often comes in the form of determining starting skills, changing skill costs, or just having class abilities and skills layered on top of one another. For example, the predecessor to...

The problem is the combination of per-attack fumble chance and representing the increased lethality at higher levels through multiple attacks. So it's not as big an issue in PF2, because higher-level characters in PF2 generally don't get more attacks. Instead, each attack gets individually more...

There's nothing preventing a web page from being hosted locally, though I'll admit it's not a common thing these days. But the thing is that a PDF is designed to do one thing, and that is to preserve the formatting on a piece of paper for electronic presentation and usually printing. That makes...

If you're going to make a book for electronic reading, PDF is a bad choice. A webpage/website is much better. A well-made website adapts to the equipment used to read it, and ideally it can offer the reader options regarding font size, light/dark mode, and so on. It also lets you have multiple...

And my point is that if this was a mechanic spread throughout the spells (and potentially non-spells) of 5e, along with specific instructions to provide this information when required, GMs would act otherwise.

I mean, sure. If your GM isn't going to play along with the RAW and RAI (and this is explicitly stated in the 13A rules, see below), the rules aren't going to work as intended. That's hardly something that can be blamed on the rules, though – it's firmly a PEBSAC issue.
