It depends, are we talking 10 posts per page, or 20 posts per page?

Yeah, Mando is absolutely a callback to the whole Western-but-also-Samurai genre that is honestly truer to the origins of Star Wars than any other sub-property in the franchise.

As a passive observer, I can definitely say that some of your posts read as strongly dismissive of other people's opinions that you disagree with. You may not be intending offense, but your words can be offensive. For instance: This is a remarkably rude and condescending thing to say, and...

Entirely depends on the alien in question. Plenty that have always spoken English Galactic Basic. Big purple guy in this film/trailer is from Star Wars Rebels and speaks Galactic Basic fluently. Gungans all do too. Yoda, of course. Duros (or at least the ones running the Trade Federation) also...

Silly old bear

Fiction is filled with examples of "dumb" characters having moments of clarity and insight and coming up with solutions that catch everybody off guard. I call this the "Jason Figured It Out?" moment and it can be a huge amount of fun when it happens organically at the table. I absolutely...

...and then HR got involved

I can talk about how much I hate 3e, if that helps. I hated it so much I only DMed it for two decades 😅

Morrus is British?!?!?! 😮

I don't know that I'd agree with that from either angle. One, I wouldn't agree that Mira embraces blind hatred; both she and Au and two, that "hatred" of demons, such as it is presented in the film, comsically feels like/aligns itself with the classical Ranger's "Favored Enemy" ability; Rangers...

I don't know if you knew this but Jason isn't the killer in the original Friday the 13th, it's actually Jason's monster 🤓

I was about to say, we have some pretty direct examples of the types of actions that Gygax at least would've considered "Good", and we could stand to do with a whole lot less of that kind of "Good"

I've always been a big dwarven-women-have-beards truther, but then I don't think literally anybody would find it particularly surprising that I've enjoyed messing with gender expression in either the past or present. Besides, it's not like actual human women in the real world don't have facial hair

This is entirely dependent on the GM's improvisational skills, and/or the depth of their content back pocket. Deciding that nothing exists outside the linear path is of course railroading; I'm assuming that a GM that is giving their players the full range of agency is going to have meaningful...

I find that in most cases the difference shrinks significantly the deeper you try to dig into the why it was never the goal

I hate to break it to you, but that number's a lot higher than one :mad:

It's not only this; you can design a linear adventure, but still run it as wide open and reacting to the full range of player expression and agency. The players can absolutely hop off the tracks. You can put signposts to help the players get back on the tracks, but if you're not telling the...
