Well now I would love to know what the difference is.

I would agree... except. Except that this movie (The Phantom Menace specifically, where the Jedi desert robes were introduced) was in the position of having to sell this new proposed trilogy* as a continuation of the original three movies. A movie trilogy that was at that time very much a...

Yes, unambiguously. When ANH was made, Obi-wan was disguised as a normal wasteland hermit on the homeworld of the expert pilot his mentor once murdered (and he wasn't protecting Luke because Luke wasn't special). ESB comes along and suddenly being next to that murderous mentor's brother (and...

The primary purpose of the other thread was to keep people from interjecting their Star Wars gripes into other-subject threads. That said, I don't understand Morris' problem either with that threads existence being pointed out, nor using it. That said, since this thread exists: The SW prequels...

Yes, that's how YouTube Videos work. And then Google decided that that is the video on the subject I needed to see. I need to make "I've set up potentials with her dissimilar metals" a dating slang for some clank species in one of my games now.

Broadly and generally speaking, I want the lighting addressed, but once it has, the effects are global. That means that the lighting illuminates the entire area around the party, regardless of where the actual light source is (since it can generally be moved about amongst the zone of control the...

Oh no, I get that. Although, to be fair, I was looking for information on the topic. I would have clicked on a video with a thumbnail that just had the words 'galvanic corrosion' on it. In reality, I was less likely to have clicked it, as I kinda wondered what it might do to my future algorithm...

Okay, so it isn't just me. I was watching a show about channel boats and the guy was talking about keeping the landline current isolated from the boat so his aluminum* hull wouldn't get damaged. I wanted to make sure I understood that principle (both HS and college Chemistry were a while ago)...

Okay, experiment time. Some adventuresome individual -- please google "galvanic corrosion" and click the drop-down. Does Google suggest a YouTube video on the subject? Is there anything notable about the video thumbnail?

If he's in the barrel, and it is rolling downhill, that just might work. Yes, I know, you mean the other Starfox.

You might have read that in reverse.

No, I am not giving him the views at this point. What was said?

It's hard for me to separate out what was in the initial rulebook from what was added in supplements/revised editions, but I think there was a gradual shift. Initially, I think the Camarilla were supposed to be a flawed but often well-intentioned power structure. All vampires were struggling to...

Champions/Hero System had (depending on edition) various rules about experimenting with existing powers. Basically, if your power did X (say, single-target attack defined as a fire attack), you could ask "can I strafe it across an area, like a weak flame thrower, to scare off the masses of rats...

I'm mostly trying to enjoy myself while seeking continuation of play.

We're... an interesting country. Look at it this way -- we just named the thing the One Big Beautiful Bill/Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21). Back in 2001, we went to the trouble to make it spell out the thing with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required...

I don't know how much original intent matters in this case. Edwards' article was somewhat influential to perpetually online gamerdom back in 2002. Now? Whatever people think it means, it probably means. That said, I don't know that there is a lot of consistency there. I think some people do...

Hmm. I'm not immediately finding it in my DMG. I see that 1E (DMG pp. 64-66) had to-hit bonuses and penalties for charging; cover; flanking; invisibility; rear-attacks; and opponents who are encumbered, held by both legs, held by one leg, motionless, off balance, partially bound, prone, slowed...

This might be another one of those vary-by-group things like we keep finding about gaming BitD. I strongly recall always looking for ways to get the elevation bonus, back-attack, and so on. Other than choosing to shoot/rush into melee, or trying to cycle low-hp melee types back to the second...

Right, and for storytelling purposes, it works well enough. The show did a good job of making it right next to Clark's objectives without someone necessarily knowing that it was his weakness. So that's still a toggle we can explore. A central conceit of that show is that the "meteor rocks"...
