A few quickies: Wild Beyond the Witchlight - we steamrolled the first Witch, she rolled poor initiative and was dead before her turn. Homebrew 5E - We picked up the game after a bit of a break. During the session we got ambushed by a group that included a Raksasha. BECMI game - I found out...

I thought one of the many interesting things about Dedra and Syrill was that under different circumstances they could have been a part of the rebel alliance. At least, that's what they show hints at.

Just while we're on this tangent, Acolyte always felt like a YA show to me. Anyway, now back to the Andor memes...

It's a shame, I really liked inspiration as a currency players could use to effect the narrative (even if it was just a house rule).

I was going to mention this in my previous comment. In the groups I play in players do request things outside the rules after rolling a nat 20. It's not something that happens every time, nor is the request always granted. But's it does happen. At the start of 5E I allowed inspiration points to...

Just as an aside: I had a friend in highschool when we were first getting into 2nd edition DnD who loved Psionics. Like, he believed in it as a real thing, that with enough practice he would one day be able to move things with his mind. When the psionics handbook came out he joined our group...

I never felt like RPGs were in danger from the satanic panic. I thought it was basically free advertising that tripled sales. If anything it was more dumb luck.

Yeah, I do for the most part, but not always. Like, sometimes a 1 is a miss or a 20 is a success. It depends on the situation, it’s a ruling, not a rule.

I don't think it's just 1's and 20's. I agree with John in the post above, you can narrate any roll. You might narrate the scene if a player only just makes a successful skill check, as an example: Athletics check DC 15 to jump across a pit: Player rolls a 16 You leap across the pit and just...

Fantastic film, it really lived up to all the hype for me. It had one of those scenes that reminded me why I go to the cinema.

It was the movie length pilot of DS9 that really got me into Star Trek. I remember catching episodes of TNG previously and liking it, but maybe I was a bit young. I still remember a review that called the DS9 'Neighbours in Space', which I thought was a bit harsh.

Maybe the shipment of weapons that the Empire allowed the Ghorman rebels to steal were inferior/duds. (not my theory, but I don't mind it)

DnD characters also fall into the category of 'mostly orphans'

Orphans have always been a Disney thing. Just another reason Disney was a good home for Star Wars.
