So this was interesting: TomB

A naive analysis: 17 m/h ~ 25 f/s times 1/10s (or 1/20s or 1/100s) 2.5 f (or 1.25 or f 1/4 f) The block is almost a cube: 10 f by 10 f by 9.9 f. 0.1 f are shaved off of the front and back of the cube (and not the sides). A section of the GC with a top area 99 sq ft is displaced by the...

Haha, and it gets a lot worse from there . Gels are non-linear fluids. The maths behind their motion gets very heavy with tensors and co and contravariance, and other such matters. Re: Your reply to my reply. Yeah, there would be an initial splat, I'm guessing a pretty violent one, with the...

So .. at 170 lb / cu ft, a 10 ft column of granite has about 12 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure. A typical home water pressure is 50 psi, four times that. This pressure forcing GC material up seems to be quite low. Most of the effect would likely be from the initial impact. in my...

So ... unless the GC material is compressible, if the block is nearly as big as the pit and falls face on, the impact is likely to be quite jarring; nearly instantaneous. The GC material towards the center won’t have enough time to flow out of the was of the cube. it does seem that a narrow...

So ... would the gelatinous cube splatter? It is gelatinous, not watery. I’m thinking either like regular desert jello, or perhaps more pudding-like. Since there are black pudding, I’ll assume the descriptions are qualitatively accurate and treat a GC as being similar to a huge 10 ft cube of...

Making this more realistic: Have the pit be topped off by a foot or so of brackish water. Let there be various skeletons of rats and things floating in the water -- and deeper. Remove the rope (the environment is hostile to it, so why have it?), and put a few recessed grooves in the wall to...

Sure. The question is, what does “Roll20 reward“ mean, and how involved is Roll20 in providing a reward? If there is substantial work that must be done by Roll20 to create the award, then the Roll20 statement seems fine. If the award is simply a dataset that any current Roll20 user can import...

I’m thinking that promise of support can only be accomplished with the assistance of Roll20. Then, claiming Roll20 provide support would be similar to stating that Apple would be building the use of a specific application into iOS. Tom Bitonti

Their text could use a clean up. They present two specific problems: Unauthorized trademark use, and unapproved promises of Roll20 support. But they conclude with “to have unauthorized use removed from the site.”, which matches the first problem, but is a bad match for the second. Better...

I wonder if we really have our conceptions properly centered. Is it possible that T-Rex was the equivalent of a carnivorous dung beetle, feasting on the carcasses of a large and rapidly turning over population of herbivores, and only occasionally opportunistically taking down injured or...

So, about range size: How much of a difference would there because the environmental conditions were quite a bit different then. I wonder what effect differences in ocean salinity, solar radiance, and atmospheric composition would have as to the amount of energy flowing through the environment...

Plus, one apparently does not simple ingest the raw herb. There is a preparation, and an ice bath. The necessary steps may be hard to perform without particular knowledge. TomB

For the destruction of the garden to be dramatically meaningful, replacement of the garden must not be easy. Potential difficulties could be slow growth of the herb, or scarcity of growing sites. The herb might require just the right amount of vibranium, or chemical variation of vibranium, and...

I get the feeling that both this and WandaVision are providing transitional pivots to the next major content phase. Important themes and background points are being presented in these TV shows. I expect there will be many plot lines which will remain open well into the movies. TomB

It would seem that an exhaustion mechanic could help. Actually, I‘d go with three: Exhaustion: Str + Con + Training Focus: Int + Wis + Training Charm: Cha + Dex + Training All classes would have pools which could be consumed to bolster actions. The pools would recover more quickly than hit...

It seems that the effect on Rogers was amplified by the Vita rays. The current batch of super soldiers don't seem to have been enhanced physically to the same extent. I can't tell if the Russian supersolders were changed. They seem to have started bulked out, so it's hard to tell. TomB

Points at self. "some issues" is a huge understatement. Enuf said. Carry on! TomB

It is curios that the MCU is continuing to build ambiguity into the blip. Less nationalism and more cooperation during the blip vs the apparent return to nationalism and displacement camps after. And the appearance of the apparently badly functioning Global Repatriation Council. TomB

I think Zeno he has incomplete information, and is correct working from that incomplete information. I expect that almost no-one knows Wanda’s involvement. But, his focus on super soldiers seems overstated. Zemo was anti-Avengers, with super soldiers being just one example of what he is...
