They did officially reject the "fuck the primary, we nominate who we want!" option.

Since it was given sufficient serious consideration they had to actually take a position on it.

There is a risk that the Secret Service would take it amiss if you tried.

The first time I went to the dentist as a kid, they gave me a root canal and didn't tell me.

I found out a long time later when I mentioned to my mom that I remembered getting cavities filled hurting a lot more.

I am told it is a stylistic choice to give the fight scenes a surreal, dreamlike quality.

The short of it is that the Orks are a genetically engineered super-soldier project that's gone wrong. Hence their aggression, strength, numbers, and capacity to pull super-advanced technology out of their ass while simultaneously mostly using ramshackle pieces of crap. That's been Ork canon for a l...

The Beast's Orks are different. For as-yet unclear reasons they've managed to basically get a galactic-scale psychic network going and are markedly more intelligent and disciplined than normal. That's relative; they understand that ambushes are a good idea but don't get what "radio silent"...

The bottom is a bit confusing in parts because it mostly uses pre-Heresy colors. Magnus is noted for physical mutation and being huge even by Primarch standards, and hence has the "intimidating but kindly and shy huge schoolgirl" character design. Top:Leman Russ, Jaghatai Khan, Vulkan, Fer...

Using a sword to attack means you are more vulnerable to being attacked by spear enemies unless you manage to unequip the sword, which is possible but logistically complicated. So there are circumstances when players will deliberately avoid using a weapon triangle advantage when attacking so they a...

And it does add a key strategic layer, since the weapon you attack with is he weapon you willb be stuck with the rest of the round. So using a sword leaves you more vulnerable to spear enemies. I'm sorry, maglag, I try to give you the benefit of the doubt but this is just wrong. The Weapon Triangle...

I'm really dubious of any plan where some characters can fly and other characters are groundbound unless they have some other inherent solution to "there is a bottomless chasm 100 feet across between you and your destination". Because that's either trivial or borderline insurmountable, and...

Your zero point can go wherever you want when designing the game. If your game is meant to have melee-focused heroes without flight as major combatants at a certain level then flying monsters who are as tough as ground-bound monsters should not be online at that level. If all your melee PCs get flig...

Well yeah, there's obviously no point to having superdelegates if they won't let someone who's behind in pledged delegates win and he has every right to try to convince them.

He canonically kills absolutely no one in the Arkham games, at least pre-Knight. I mean, he does plenty of things that by all rights should be fatal, but detective mode will specifically identify them as still alive and give a heart rate. It is a gameplay contrivance because the player will not be a...

The key point is that he didn't do this at work, while talking to his coworkers, or in his official capacity, so your entire argument is completely inapplicable to this entire situation.

Guns are a particular sticking point for Batman, even in the stories where he does kill people. He'll destroy inanimate objects with them, but won't deliberately kill people with them, and trying is one of the things that can shock him into realizing that he's gone too far.

You just don't get to call yourself a hero without at least attempting to minimize collateral damage. Darker and grittier heroes won't let collateral damage stop them, but they're still not going to have a superpowered battle in the center of a major city if they've got the option to have a superpow...
