I did something that I rarely do - I went on Reddit and started reading the watch thread. Not a lot of it, but, it did seem really positive. But, something that came up a bunch of times is that it's not actually a "punch to the face". It's there over and over and over again. All the...

Not sure how I feel about two Doctorless (or mostly Doctorless in this case) episodes in a row. A bit jarring. But, that was... I'm not even really sure how I feel about it. When Lindy betrays September, that's one of the coldest things I've seen in a while. Just brutal how she doesn't show...

That was a boring conversation anyway.

Hey, I will die on the hill of the Buffy musical episode. That was awesome. Don't you be disrespecting the Buffy. :p

🤷 I posted you the actual ticket price from an actual theater.

@pemerton - if Paladins and alignment were actually coherent, they would not have been the source of more table drama than any other element in the game. Heck, I'd probably say more drama than all other elements in the game combined. So, no, I do not believe it was coherent or easily...

I'd love to find a theater that costs 1400 yen for a regular feature. Where are you getting that? The only time you get those prices are matinees or special nights. Also, note, 1900 yen is 12 bucks now, but, that's because the yen is absolutely in the toilet. That 1900 yen price hasn't...

I mean, sure, you're going to find analogues if you look. And, that does tend to play into my point about connotation. Rangers connote voyageurs to you. Fine, I can see that. And, since AFAIK, there's no real negative elements there (at least, none that spring to mind, I'm sure there are...

Must be nice. Full price movie tickets in Japan have been over twenty bucks for twenty years.

That’s my point. A lot of what you are saying is truly different. Yes. Absolutely. But it is really hard to show that difference. I mean, sure your cell phone is different but it’s still a cell phone. Sure cars are different but on the outside not hugely different. Houses haven’t changed all...

Monsters do not use pc rules. Quoting the monster manual in a discussion about pc classes and races doesn’t matter. Pc psionics are magic and use spell components.

Other than sharing a name, the Texas Rangers have virtually nothing to do with the class. And frankly have very few connotations outside of the US. And very few negative ones as well. So I’m obviously missing your point then. It is impossible to claim that there is one and only one source of...

But rangers are the aragorn class. Full stop. They don't have any historical connotations. Paladins most certainly DO.

That would certainly be the other way to go. And, there are positives and negatives of both approaches. But, I was more responding to the idea that races need mechanical heft in order to be important in the game. That by going the simpler route that WotC is taking with simply choosing one or...
