Part of me wants this to be a Helvetii invention.

Not that a sane release schedule would have saved Solo because that movie is both incompetent and tries to pander to the some of the almost worst* fandom tendencies. <snip actual list of almost worst* fandom tendencies> Thanks for this. I was in need of a list of reasons for why I'm not going to se...

Do you guys remember the "Cuban Sonic Weapon" that got some American diplomats sick some months ago? Because it's spreading: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/06/world/asia/china-guangzhou-consulate-sonic-attack.html Not sure if I should be terrified or excited about this real-world Bond vi...

Even ignoring the spoilers, I'm kind of irked that the game presents such an urgent main quest and at the same time is a huge sandbox where time doesn't pass until you decide to move the plot forward by going to certain key locations.

Man, remember back when that was a good thing?

Prak, are you being dense on purpose? If you want to be angry about the girl dragon's design you could rightfully point to the following, also found on the fucking cover. When compared to the boy dragon, the girl dragon has: 1) rounder shapes 2) smoother skin 3) smaller horns 4) smaller claws 5) a s...

I believe the term for this one is pants-on-head retarded.

The other drawing triggers me for getting legs and pedipalps mixed.

<motherfucking hyperdrive weapon rant> the hyperspace jump can be used as very destructive weapon. This has the effect of turning all the previous space battles in the series into a farce. I've been thinking about that huge pile of shit for some time now. It could had been mitigated by taking like ...

^ another incel right there. Please explain how you came to this conclusion. Use small words for me. Here's a small word for you, my dude: C U C C There: I'm better than ISP at being ISP . Case closed. Seriously now: ISP, just stop. You're not being novel, clever or transgressive coming with insult...

There's a structural difference at work here, that is causing you trouble: For Paladins, "being true to their code" should be the answer to the question "What do you want to do?". That's it, being a baby kobold killer upstanding person it's also their roleplaying goal (at least o...

Murder is literally the unlawful killing of another person without justification or excuse . That's what Murder is. Seriously. That's the actual definition. If you have a reason, even a shitty reason that doesn't keep you from going to jail for a long time, it still isn't murder. Wow how retarded c...

been there, done that

How hard is to come with a correct enough formula for resolving a number of equal attack rolls with a single die? This could make not just five skeletons but hydras less cumbersome. I'm talking about something like (assuming you're rolling a d20): roll target number -3 = 25% of the attacks are hits ...

Since this is a design experiment starting with the monster manual, should we also start with an expectation of how long a combat should last? If I had to choose a sweet spot for a "typical" combat duration, I'd pick something like 3 rounds. That's it, I'd like that the initiative count pa...

Or, as I'm calling it now, If your party isnt this lit dont bother inviting me — the painting.

And it's still fucking less blatant and terrible about it as Ready Player One. Alright, how about some nice warm cup of SEETHING RAGE: (and also, spoilers about the movie - the only version of RP1 I got) Do you remember how at the start of RP1, the protagonist (bargain bin Michael Cera) is living i...

Re: Scott Pilgrim The comics are carried almost entirely by the funky visual style and some pretty spot-on nostalgia about being a 20 something who's into rock. It's well established pretty early in the story that Scott is a terrible human being. So, when they decided to make it a non-animated movie...

This makes it sound like I raise this by covering myself in oil like a male stripper.

High slipperiness also makes you more chaotic (unless you're good aligned or aquatic) but such is life.

The word you want for a passive defense that's kind of dodge/evasion is "slipperyness".

I think players would be totally fine if over time you had the rest of the world learning about their deeds and tricks. Maybe they overhear one of their porters bragging over drinks at the tavern about how his masters owned some band of orcs. Months later word spreads and they might start hearing a...

TL;DR: It's actually simple: It's because on Three Hearts and Three Lions Chaos stands for untamed, savage nature, while Law stands for civilization. It's actually the same thing with elves. <original content> The insanity that's D&D Alignments is better explained if the Alignments (as objective...

You're wrong. Your own statements are even arguments against your own position. Lets take these words right back at you. Here: Pepper a few more mid level casters in their opposition who will absolutely not give a shit if the PC's have 3 digit hp and a moderately powerful cantrip at their disposal....
