a good thick dollop of cream is much better :) Cheese goes with mince or steak pies

dead trees I suppose. Deforestation and chemical treatment are major issues in woodpulp paper, especially as sustainable alternatives exist (bamboo, hemp, cotton fibre) and then you have alternatives like calcium carbonate (stone paper) and digital E-paper devices or as suggested Meta-glasses

The only human I can think of is Odysseus - who lies constantly, is capable of cruelty and heroism and is loyal only to his idea of home. Tom Bombadil - Helps the hobbits, doesnt care about Sauron, doing his own thing Loki and other Trickster gods - they help and hinder in equal measure...

yeah I was amused when I drove away, but experiencing it for the first time was a little discombobulating, just an unexpected detour in to the uncanny valley funnily enough my reaction when reading this was to think "I wouldnt want a robot giving me a message' but then I recalled my last visit...

I'm assuming its a reference to Hasbro gets hold of Harry Potter merch rights, which means an MTG set feels inevitable

nobody is advocating stopping development of robots though, thats a straw robot. What is being mooted is setting guiderails so that pursuit of human-passing robots is controlled. If designers want to build units that look like R2D2 or CP3O then go for it, but do we need androids that are...

I still remember the incredulity and slight discomfort I felt when I encountered an AI McDonalds Drive-thru taking my order. I'm kind of thankful that it was just a voice from a box and that they didnt have a Ronald robot dispensing the burgers and coke. Robot companions for the lonely isnt a...

This there is so much available these days from systems, adventures to maps its easy to find something of interest. Even more so with the number of blogs, wikis and youtube channels also putting out useable content. Plus the simple ability to search out information o historic events, rules...

You first give the premise as "can we realistically generate its weather in a way that is easy to use at the table?" then present a complex table of random numbers - so I assume the answer to your question is no :) It could be that you're using Fahrenheit rather than the much more sensible...

Chatbots are robots and thats where the ethical overlap occurs. If a human passing robot is interacting using its massive data processing and predictive response then are their privacy or surveillance concerns? At what point does the things a robot sees, hears and remembers while interacting...

The Steampunk era was still about the Great Empires. Mercantilism was a thing hence Robber Barons but the East India Company was still reliant on the British Crown for its legal charters and the Royal Navy of ultimate protection. Also Steampunk works best with single Mad Geniuses and an...

Already AI Images and Video is facing this very question, with AI images being hyper-realistic and able to reproduce the image of real people and then put them into compromising positions. The same concerns probably will arise with hyper-realistic androids. It is a little scary not knowing if...

I've always wondered where the Star Wars Gamorreans fit - were they just coincidence drawing on similar inspiration or did the Star Wars creature designers maybe share an ale with the people at Games Workshop? Return of the Jedi came out in 1983 so they were contemporaries

right there in the article Moya is warm to the touch and can be "flexibly configured according to different scenarios such as business, healthcare, and companionship" looks like we're going to get Cherry 2000 before Skynet takes over

I agree DC should be static with clear advice and examples on how to set a DC for any tasks the PCs might face. I never understood the point of scaling DCs, as PCs get better at doing a task it shouldnt get more difficult by default.

does fried rice counts as an egg style? I tend to go scrabbled or poached or soft boiled I do like scotched egg too and I once had candied egg yoke threads, which are good

Thats because DnD is literally a chop suey of folklore and literary tropes, D&D didn’t create the ingredients of fantasy, it created the cooking system, labelled and measured the tropes, then handed out a cookbook, that lets the players supply the sauce and cook it to their own taste. The...

Prince Phillips Sword of Truth and Shield of Virtue is a really good example, and one that I'd actually forgotten about. That really goes to the point though that sword and board is so ubiquitous that its unremarkable and thus invisible, Other characters (like Conan) are called out for using two...

The Iron Bruiser STR + WIS Monster Role: Elite Bruiser These are monks who train by standing beneath waterfalls and holding burning coals, while the other monks beat them with bamboo poles. They build resistance to pain that lets them walk right in to combat without flinching. Actions: Iron...

Der Bremer Roland Statue with his sword and shield Beowulf had an Iron shield specially made so that he could face the dragon and not have his wooden shield burn up. The Greeks at Troy used Spear and Shield but I think that still counts. Ajax was renown for his massive Tower Shield and Spear...
