heh, I thought Bobby was a strange name for a Vulcan, but he did look like a Bobby so I decided it suited him :) good point about the X-Men parallel too, convenient for the writers when they have a bunch of Aliens (and programmable matter) who can do anything the plot requires.

Poor Bobby, he really wasnt a dick! great episode overall, nicely done bringing various backstory and villain threads in to focus. Not so sure about the new Banshee powers getting pulled out though, but heh, it was a cool bit of deus ex machina. One thing I was wondering though is what are the...

Heh, fair enough. I mainly asked because I like making poached pears with cream cheese or with brie.which isnt too far from apple and cheese sans Pie crust. I did wonder if verdigris was some obscure old medieval ingredient, but ae, verjus makes more sense:) Dwarves being tolerant to lead...

No but yes, my cosmology is Panentheistic, the thoughts of the One manifest as twin streams that flow in all directions spiralling into infinity. The interactions of these Dual Streams give rise to forms and realities - the domains of existence. Clerics choose their domains and manifest small...

what is verdigris? and where is that dish from? *I only know Verdigris as the green patina of oxidised copper, which I thought was toxic

oooh! Lorwyn gets a Podling chorus!! I would love to see a Dark Crystal set or even adding Gelflings and Skeksis to Lorwyrn

Apparently, Nemo was originally envisioned as Polish striking back at the Russian Empire, but Vernes publisher baulked as France and Russia were allies at the time. Verne stripped out the overt anti-imperialist details and later switched Nemo to Indian prince, since sticking it to the English...

14th century in England so closer to 650 years:) But apples originate in central Asia (The city of Almaty, Kazakhstan claims to be 'Father of Apples") and have been eaten there for maybe 8000 years including in an 'apple cake' which is a flat and pie-like :)

I can think of quite a few adventures that mention Apples, Sunless Citadel features them, Phandalin has an Apple orchard and even Curse of Strahd makes passing mention of them. I've had PCs explore a haunted Apple Orchard, and a Wassailing of the Apples is an annual festival in one of the main...

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...
