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...

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! 🤪
