I mean, I don't generally play online games ... unless it's with friends. But that's pretty rarely. I prefer single player.

I don't play online with strangers. I'm all good, though. I was just playing Medal of Honor before getting back into SDV.

That’s cool. I recently reread the Dragonlance Chronicles, and there are a number of times where a character wonders if someone else has a bit of elven blood in them.

Oh man, I nearly died laughing reading that!

I can't remember who suggested it, but someone suggested I try Call of Duty: WWII. It's currently on sale on Steam for 67% off. I snapped it up for NZ$36 instead of NZ$108! Will give it a spin over the weekend. (Currently on a Stardew Valley binge.)

That's part of it. A person arguing in bad faith is set in their opinions, they want to "win" the argument no matter what, and they're not going to let any pesky facts or logic get in their way. They may also use under-handed tactics to "win".

Unfortunately for me, that DM decided he preferred using XP. He also insists on always starting at 1st level because "that's where the fun is". I left the group mid-year and haven't looked back. In fact, the longer I've gone without being a player, the more I've slipped into forever DM mode. I...

As a player, I prefer milestones over XP. I'm a power gamer by nature, and I find that when the DM uses XP, it's almost like a drug. I just want more so I can keep leveling up. Milestones, however, are more story-based. They make it so leveling happens when you achieve a goal in-game. I find...

Yeah, the fact that this thread is mostly an argument about prices and not about the DLC content says a lot about the latter.

That could be interesting, especially since they were only introduced into TNG and DS9 to set up Voyager, but then Voyager dropped the whole thing almost immediately. So the Maquis kind of popped up a few times in DS9 after that but mostly got ignored until they were completely wiped out by the...

I wonder if this is another Elemental Evil Player's Companion ... i.e. the salvageable remnants of something originally intended to be much larger and more comprehensive.

The issue is that the Dash action doesn't, by itself, let you move. It just gives you "extra movement for the current turn". So the question becomes: is this ability intended to make it so you can move immediately as soon as Initiative is rolled but before your turn comes up in the round...

Yes. I think I've said elsewhere that the SNW cast could tell new stories set in the TOS time period that weren't covered by the TOS episodes. Yeah, sure, it would look weird watching them together in chronological order, but eh ...

Yeah. I mean, Star Trek Beyond came out nearly a decade ago. The Kelvin timeline got a brief mention in a Star Trek Discovery episode but otherwise it might as well not exist any longer. As much as I enjoyed the films for what they were and would happily watch them again should I feel the urge...

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...
