I think that's the reason why Ewan McGregor's little stuttered "That business on Cato Neimoidia doesn't - doesn't count" in Revenge of the Sith bugs me. I'm pretty sure George left it in there because it sounds like natural speech ... but because it's the only example of its kind in his Star...

The 4e preview books were player-facing, as were some of the digest-sized books. The preview books were pretty short. Maybe not the digest-sized ones, but they would've been a lot shorter if they'd been full size ... Murder in Baldur's Gate and Legacy of the Crystal Shard each came as two short...

4e had some - a few were those preview books and then there were some digest-sized ones towards the end. The Nentir Vale monsters book has a soft cover as well. 5e had a few during the playtest period (Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, Murder in Baldur's Gate, and Legacy of the Crystal Shard).

Australian Paralympic gold medalist Paige Greco has passed away at age 28. She had a medical episode at home.

The transporter gets a virus and starts spitting out copies of Ortegas until it fills the ship with them. Is the “Year One” SNW spin-off still just something that the actors want to do? I, for one, would like to keep watching this cast play Kirk, Spock, Chapel, etc.

Something that I don't recall being discussed previously in this thread is how the parental vibe they gave Kirsh and Dame Sylvia (Essie Davis!). I mean, at the very beginning, I thought briefly that they were Marcie's parents. But then it occurred to me that they are very much Wendy's (and the...

I still would have preferred the spellfire as Supernatural Gifts they experimented with early on but having the options of a sorcerer subclass and some feats is OK. I can still use the playtest version in my home games.

They did a lot of research for many of the adventures. Tyranny of Dragons draws on lots of little lore drops from previous editions. As for the preserver druid and defiler sorcerer, while I still don’t like either of them mechanically, I’m less worried that they will be the only options for...

I was originally going to go with Babylon or Nineveh, but since Ancient Greece was a bit before Ancient Rome, I thought that Athens fit the joke better.

Oh yeah? Well, I was Athens some years before that! 🤪

I can imagine! Wow. That's callous. I can still remember much of 9/11 in great detail. It just no longer feels like it happened yesterday.

I was 8 in 1989. I vaguely remember seeing news on the TV about the Berlin Wall coming down. I have an even vaguer memory of watching the Challenger explode on the TV news. (I would have been 5 then.) Contrast that with my memories of 9/11. Those felt seared in my memory as if they had happened...

OK, well then I guess maybe I won't ever play Baldur's Gate 3 unless someone gives it to me as a gift! I just can't justify spending more than NZ$50 at most on a video game these days.

That, too. And then he went and made it so people can teleport across the galaxy in the next film ...

Exactly. I appreciated that JJ included a "no sound in space" scene in his first Star Trek film, but then he had to go and show a flashback of Spock watching Vulcan implode with his naked eye from the surface of that ice planet. JJ calls himself a sci-fi fan, but he really doesn't appreciate the...
