My team, the Minnesota* Vikings were obviously named in reference to the Scandinavian heritage in the area. It is the kitsch version of Viking history with horned helmets, Gjallarhorn calls in the stadium (itself shaped like a longboat), and so on. I assume the purple color and gold secondary...

"I am the terror that flaps in the night" - probably doesn't work for most paladins.

I loved playing in Mythic Europe. (I don't play Ars Magica anymore.) For the publisher, I assume all those supplements nominated themselves (Mythic Iberia, etc.) without having to think too hard. I also like troupe play, and my groups do it a lot, but few games explicitly support the style.

An example I haven't seen mentioned: I gave up casting Faery Fire when my druid hit ~9th level. But, melee types love it and it makes a big, big difference for at least a couple of rounds. I would definitely upcast it using a 3rd level slot and follow it up with a higher-level concentration spell.

This is a constant problem in Adventurer's League (which is admittedly its own unique thing). PC arcane casters are common, and they will always counter. NPC casters rarely appear more than 1 at a time.

Geometry, the way that 5E killed Pythagoras and took his stuff. a^2=b^2=c^2. Also, fireballs that are cubes.

Henny Youngman, the classic one-liner.

Knee-jerk reaction: I like beginning characters having Reputation 0, conceptually. With this change, Rep 0-2 must represent only the peasant farmer who never comes into town.

P.277 (p. 283 of the PDF). A cone is 90 degrees, thanks.

That's about a 30-degree cone. It would be helpful if the rules mentioned the spread angle.

Scrabble? 3-D print the letter "J"? One of these brands is not like the others.

In practice, they don't speak up at once. I'm sure that's happened, but normally, one will announce a counterspell, and if that fails (or the opposing caster counters), another will announce. That's generous of me, but I try not to let AL games be very adversarial. If timing conflict really...

A very good point. I have been declaring spell slot level (this is in Adventurer's League). But, AL tables can have as many as 4 casters with Counterspell vs. one poor enemy caster. I should pull back on the info and make it more uncertain.

This would be my preference for continuity reasons. They haven't really written themselves into a hole; it was just one group of (atypical) Skrulls. Also agree, Skrulls can wait. It's a big universe. Also, I believe Skrulls are part of the FF license that is only now coming back to Marvel, and...

I generally agree with you, but I didn't like this. The Skrulls are invading bad guys in the original Kree-Skrull war. If Marvel wants to do any more K-S, and I assume they do, we have to see more typically evil Skrulls at some point so that Earth can be a neutral 3rd party to all that. Now, we...

There were a few too many long shots that hit their mark for my taste. But, we already know Gordon is likely the best pilot in the Union, so we do have the foundation for two of those crazy attempts. (Or three. Putting a human in a Krill fighter?) The Orville should have been vaporized as soon...

Some things will always be scarce - prime real estate, original art, honorific titles. Even now, I can get free water, paper, flu shots, and various other goods that have a marginal cost to the provider of nearly zero. But, money is now and probably will be the most efficient way to distribute...

Yup. There's apparently more than one bard/druid out there, a combination that would never occur to me.

That's a lot of left-handed characters in the Paizo preview (4 of 8).
