    Streaming Services: Power Rankings Summer 2023, and What's Up With Paramount+

    I'm about to cancel Paramount+ now that Discovery season 5 is over. I also got a cut-price MGM subscription thinking I'd binge some old Stargate SG-1, but the nostalgia hasn't quite held up, so that one will go too.

    Streaming Services: Power Rankings Summer 2023, and What's Up With Paramount+

    Well, I guess that didn't work out so well for Netflix, since here we are six months later with Netflix switching over to "Standard with Adverts" as their default offering. At least they did lower the price, but damn, double the cost to go ad-free!

    D&D General Baldurs Gate, Darksun, Fallout Mashup.

    Fallout 4's concept of radiation or similar damage reducing a character's max HP translates well enough to D&D. You could look into Eberron's The Mournland as an example of a magically-devastated land. When I ran a campaign that involved it, I had a daily d20 roll for each character with a 1...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte starts June 4

    Isn't most of this period kinda untouched? High Republic era is new territory. I guess they'll manage to work in a few references, though.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    They sure as heck roll when they fall out of the hoverchairs and the ship tilts. :)

    That's how they roll on the Axiom.

    newbies guide for Fallout 4

    I'm really enjoying my SIM Settlements 2 play through. The mod integrates well into the main game, the new ways of managing settlements are different enough to feel fresh, and frankly the story missions are significantly more compelling than the main game storyline.

    Sometimes it just takes time for them to arrive. If they haven't turned up after 24 hours, then it's time to worry.

    Most Rewatchable MCU Movies

    Thor: Ragnarok, Captain America: The Winter Solider, and The Avengers are the ones I can go back to time and again when I want a good, entertaining movie. Beyond that, Iron Man and the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies are always fun. Infinity War / Endgame and GotG 3 are very good, but...

    Grade the Forged in the Dark System

    These are both quantified to an extent based upon Position and Effect. A partial success is effectively "you succeed but the opposition also succeeds", so the consequences are the same as if you failed outright. If you're getting partial successes on a lot of Desperate rolls, the pain from them...

    Yes, it is. Characters travelling between settlements are subject to the same dangers of the wastes as you are - but only if the cells they're walking through are currently loaded in (i.e. you're nearby). If you stay clear of the path between the two settlements, they should be fine.

    Yeah, only other thing that might compete is lucking out on a legendary version of one of those pole hooks from Far Harbour - they upgrade to pretty ludicrous damage levels as I recall.

    Deadly oldster, unexpected near TPK.

    Commentary thread for that “Describe your game in five words” thread.

    Deadly oldster, unexpected near TPK. Playing Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, we're in literally the starting dungeon, just levelled up to 2nd level, and run into an elderly necromancer who initially opens up with some 1st and 2nd level spells, plus a rat swarm. Then he pulls out a...

    newbies guide for Fallout 4

    Legendaries are such pot-luck, it's rarely worth trying to deliberately farm them. Last game I played, I was picking up great ones all over the place - Instigating sniper rifles, multiple stat-boosting armour pieces before I hit 20th level, incendiary combat shotgun. In my current run it's all...
