    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    Because that was established in the lore at the time. If Geordi in season 1 was able to see just fine, but then they introduced the visor in season 2.....you would probably have a few questions. Hey what happened to Geordi? That would be a reasonable thing to ask. Thats the concern here...

    D&D General Jacques ze Whipper does a video explaining why real life whips are way worse than d&d whips

    A d4 damage means that for jo smoe guy with no stats, a whip will knock a guy out 1 out of 4 times. And a couple of hit whips is going to knock a guy out most of the time. We are just used to weapons against monsters and larger than life heroes, but against the common folk they do already

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    being inclusive at the expense of consistency is not pretty cool, that’s what we are sussing out. Introducing an alien race that is deaf and uses sign language…sure 100%. That’s what Star Trek is all about. But taking a race we have seen on screen never use sign language (and telepathic to...

    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    I played a binder. My dm had an intervention with me because my character was “so weak it was difficult to keep me included” and we came up with some house rules to make the class usable. Never ever happened before or since. The class was cool, but definately on the weak side.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mearls has some Interesting Ideals about how to fix high level wizards.

    We can nitpick OG 5e but the edition has been wildly successful. So it’s hard to look at that with the same lens of failure you are applying to other products.

    Ok I’ll have to double check. If all the sign language is towards the dad than that tracks, but I thought some of the other Betazoids were using it with each other, which wouldn’t make sense

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    The biggest thing I saw on the webs that people are upset about (and this seems a legitimate criticism).....why are the Betazoids using sign language. They are....literally telepathic (not to be confused with Deanna Troi's emphatic nature for being a half-betazoid.) They can literally talk in...

    2nd epsiode in, god do I love this show! Hehe man that turnaround with poor Mel. Thought we actually had someone who was going to ask her out and then she would be oblivious to it, not that he would take off and she would hit her head!!! Dr Santos and Langdon. I get the vibe that Santos is...

    Second episode in. Continuing to like it. I really appreciate that they are actually using this new time period to create interesting new problems. Ok we are trying to rebuild the federation, how to bring the old gang back to the table. Things are familar but different, as was noted in teh...

    Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

    One episode in, so far I'm enjoying it. The cadets were mostly likeable, I like the division betwen "academy mode" and "starship mode" in terms of operations. There's a strong emotional core that it establishes. I think Arcade and the Villain's back and forth was a bit too cheesy, but other...

    D&D General Mechanics of starting a combat & ending a combat

    Adding more clarity from the OP, you can "use superiority" once per round to get a bonus, but its not spent, that's just a straight up bonus you get. In dnd terms, you have two pieces here: 1) The Superiority Bonus: An inspriation that can be used on a given round seems the simplest way to do...

    Marvel Television’s Wonder Man | Official Trailer

    Oh that's what I mean. I don't think every single thing in every previous marvel movie should be brought up, but there is a lot of stuff you would expect to come up naturally that didn't. The blip is probably the biggest example. That is such an intense event, that is going to impact EVERYONE...

    This seems to be the Marvel MO overall. They create a thing, you don't hear about it for 3 movies, and then its back in focus.

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    I'll admit this season I'm struggling a bit. Still watching but the show is just kind of plodding along for me now, I'm not sure what changed but I am not feeling it like I felt S1.

    Yep. I love Robbie's character because its complex. He is wise teacher who instructs his people well. He motivates them, has respect for his patients, etc. All great traits. But in some ways he is a raging ass. What a brutal opener for his former good friend Langdon. Robbie clearly still feels...

    Trailer Avengers: Doomsday | Only in Theaters December 18, 2026

    nothing shocking about it. Remember strange set things in motion so that they could win, and the only scenario that happened is when the snap reduced things to the OG avengers. The time stone thing was actually a stroke of plot genius. They could bat away any contrivance as “well that was the...
