    Mando season 3

    My understanding is that they can't take off their helmets IN THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER LIVING BEING. So, a life of solitude or maybe have a droid companion. I mean, we never see anyone in Star Wars go to the bathroom. Does that mean that there are no bathrooms? Almost certainly not. I imagine...

    So.... they're DS9 Klingons.

    Mando season 3

    Wouldn't it have just been easier for the Mandalorian cult to say, "You know what? The tarrasque can have this beach. We can do our bar mitzvahs somewhere else."

    D&D 5E Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Just playing devil's advocate: In this sensationalized news environment, "Hasbro Makes A Game Of Slavery" is probably not something the higher-ups want to hear about.

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    Again, be careful what you ask for. Because Syril Karn checks all of your boxes.

    Games that you haven't run but want to [+]

    Pathfinder. The OGL debacle gave me and my group the impetus to get outside of our 5e comfort zone. A 6 week hiatus in the 2+ year-old campaign helped. I gave the group a choice of DCC, OSE, or Pathfinder. We're running DCC which, I think, has a much more fun tone. Yes it's gonzo. But it can...

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    I dunno. I feel like that would be an improvement over the qualification being "Be either Skywalker or Palpatine."

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    The Special Editions.

    What's the WORST Star Wars movie?

    <rant> AOTC, which summarizes in one scene how formulaic and stupid Star Wars had become. That scene is, of course, the diner scene. Know what other movie featured Star Wars mashed up with a 50's style diner in space? Spaceballs. Good job, Lucas! You cribbed from a movie that had made fun of...

    D&D (2024) RPG Evolution: Where Are the Board Gamers?

    I propose a solution using intrabrand synergy. I am, of course, referring to a 5e conversion of Monopoly. Don't get me wrong; I love Monopoly. I just think it focuses too much on exploration and not enough on combat and roleplay.

    D&D General WotC Reveals New Information and Covers for 'Keys from the Golden Vault'

    When did the CCG come out? I seem to remember it around 1993.

    It is time to forgive WOTC and get back onboard.

    My uncle once explained to me "The Trust Glass." Imagine a glass of water. You can put water in and take water out. But, if the glass is ever empty, it will break. That is trust. WOTC emptied out the Trust Glass.

    D&D (2024) What happens if One DnD fails?

    Clearly, if this were to happen, Hasbro would send out an army of stooges to go house to house, kicking down doors and seizing everyone's 5e materials. Of course, if this didn't happen, I imagine that if people didn't buy into OneD&D, they'd likely just continue using all of the 5e and...

    Ryan Dancey -- Hasbro Cannot Deauthorize OGL

    I think one of the strongest arguments in favor of Mr. Dancey's position is one of the bedrock principles of contract law: Unless otherwise specified, ambiguities in a contract are generally construed against the drafter. Is it or is it not revocable? Construed against WOTC (the drafter), it...

    Star Wars: Andor

    Don't think of them as episodes. Watch 3 episode story arcs all at once. They are more like made-for-TV movies.

    Star Wars: Andor

    How literally should we interpret that? Do we interpret that in a Three Laws sense that he is actually incapable of doing it? Or is it the droid equivalent of law and/or morality with "programming" being a word choice by the screenwriter to imply a form of droid morality? If the former, then...

    Star Wars: Andor

    I strongly disagree.

    Star Wars: Andor

    Hence the inherent immorality of essentially lobotomizing a sentient being against its will. That was the central conceit of Threepio's (neutered) sacrifice - that having his memory wiped would erase his humanity. Q: Would Threepio's sacrifice mean anything if wasn't sentient?

    Star Wars: Andor

    And then, you can go back and see just how horrifically he consistently treats Threepio in ESB. He regards Threepio with outright contempt and disdain in every scene, treating him as an appliance (go plug the Professor into the hyperdrive). Han Solo is pretty darned racist towards droids.
