Abbreviated version: The Rani and Conrad (from an earlier episode) had created an alternate reality where, among other things, the Doctor and Belinda were a couple with a child, who happened to be Poppy from last season's Space Babies. When the timeline was restored, the child disappeared. So...

I don't think there's anything wrong with that if that's the kind of thing you're into (and clearly, a lot of people were). But it was definitely not what the intent was behind the original game, even if that's how it worked out. And once it was clear that that's what a lot of people liked, OG...

They could, but that would be a significant investment. And I, for one, liked having different books for each different types of Star Wars – they provide focus in an otherwise very broad setting. At least Age of Rebellion and Edge of the Empire deserves being different games, but I can see the...

To me, who has fairly limited experience with either version, V5 seems better for what the games artistically want to be: personal horror, torn between the torment caused by your condition and the powers it grants you, and stuff like that. Particularly when you look at the way Hunger works, the...

FFG shunted all their RPG stuff to Edge Studios. I believe they're still reprinting Star Wars, but there hasn't been anything new for quite a while. The core Star Wars lines are pretty complete: they all have a core book, a Beginner game, a GM screen with a short adventure, an adventure or two...

Traditionally, the closest have been Animism, as it is opposed to Necromancy and has things like healing magic. But it's not a great fit – in Magic the Gathering terms, Animism is Green, and while it is opposed to Black it is not the same as White. Other religious stuff has often been done as...

Back in the day, they had 13 magic schools in the magic supplement for Drakar och Demoner Expert: Animism, Demonology, Dragon magic (also worked a bit differently, dragons could innately use this but regular folks could as well but it was extra difficult), Elementalism, Harmonism (magic through...

Eberronian manifest zones also exhibit different traits even for the same plane. So the manifest zone to Syrania where Sharn is allows for architectural marvels and easier flying, but another one might manifest as smoothing the way for commerce leading to a grand bazaar being built there, and...

I mean, it's as good an explanation as any, but I think it's more likely to result in a sorcerer. And of course it is by far no guarantee – most major cities are built in/near some kind of exploitable manifest zone after all, in the same manner that most major cities (at least in history) were...

I was about to mention Eberron as a good example of cosmology that matters. @Aldarc mentioned Dollurh's effect on various religions, but you also have manifest zones where planar influence creates regions that are basically a form of natural resource – for example, Sharn's towers rely on the...

Last I heard (which was a couple of years ago), Onyx Path is publishing Chronicles of Darkness under license from Paradox, and they've apparently been a bit stingy with approving new things. As in, every time OPP says "Hey, we want to do a book about X", Paradox either ignores them or says...

I want to know the background lore and stuff, but I'm pretty sure I'm in a minority. But I think it's good to have it there, as a "base of the iceberg" kind of thing – it may be that only some bits actually matter in the campaign, but I think it makes for a better foundation if they have common...

I believe they are adjusting the number of PDFs available via the crowdfunder to keep the total at or below where JG would get any royalties beyond covering their Kickstarted "debt". And it's not like JG would be getting any money from someone acquiring a PDF on the high seas – that's the entire...

So why did they state in 2020 that they wouldn't work with Judges Guild once they were done with the release they were working on? Musk was a known horrible person long before he heiled. It became slightly more obvious then, but his horribleness has been known for years.

Lost Omens are the books that are intended to be setting-specific. That doesn't mean they can't be scavenged for material, but the stuff in them is intended to represent specific in-setting things. Some will be more mechanical than others, but the geography-focused ones are pretty lore-heavy...

Back on Babylon 5, many of the crew and actors commented on how good planning meant they almost never ran late on shoots. I'm just sayin'. (Though B5 had the advantage of being shot exclusively in a studio rather than having location shots where you're dependent on things like weather and...

GALACTUS HUNGERS!

So... what's up with both Millie Gibson and Ncuti Gatwa leaving ahead of schedule? I can see why Gatwa did (gotta strike while the iron is hot, and it won't do to sit on your hands for a year or two waiting for Disney and the BBC to make up their minds), but I'm assuming RTD wouldn't come up...
