If people aren’t watching Last of Us after that episode on Sunday, this might not be the thread for you. No judgment but that show is trending so well.

Yeah, the Canadian Rockies as a stand in for the former Boston suburbs is their one and only fail really.

As somebody who thinks Wizards of the Coast needs to stop cannibalizing their franchises to the extent that they do and generally dislikes the way they've been handling matters for years, the complete disaster that the OGL changes has been well-earned. I'm glad Paizo and others were able to capitalize on it.

To my amusement, it has affected the weather reports:

I had things to do today. Then I started playing Hogwarts Legacy.

So much for getting anything done.

Andor was one of the best things in the SW universe have seen in a while.

Very neon heavy. Got Tron/Cyberpunk vibes

But more Cyberpunk than season of the splicer was

Oh my giddy aunt! That Lightfall trailer!

I am having palpitations.

Whenever someone sees a trailer for the Mandalorian, do they scream “MANDO!!!!” Just like Carl Weathers does, or is that just me?

 

[Aur0ra]

It’s not just you. Trailers, commercials, anytime really.

 

[PandemicReader8]

Don't even get me started on Champion and GURPS)

But, I must insist.

I was never a huge fan of GURPS, though Iid and do so play a lot of Champions/Heo System. Both can be hard sells though, the math can look tougher than it is.

Thank you, I didn’t want to be the only weirdo out there doing that. May have just hollered it now.

GURPS was, and still is, a great basic system to go into endless offshoots. I don't get to run it nearly as much now of course. But I have so any fond memories of it and all my old books. Champions was a bit more fiddly with the powers/flaws balance but you could get really creative with it too! That was half the fun, how to make an interesting powerful hero and balance those pints with flaw or limits that made it even more interesting.

At a time when game systems seem to be getting simpler and less engaging - how long before a d20 is replaced by a coin toss? - I still enjoy the variety of build and character that Hero System /Champions allows. I could never get passed the broken probabilities of the 3d6 curve in GURPS though, which makes no sense, is the same curve in Hero.

I made The Menu cheeseburger from this dude. I know my way around making cheeseburgers but there were some specific, different nuances to it that I tried that made it amazing. Did he also do the Birds of Prey breakfast sandwich? Cuz I did that too. Nomnomnom

 

[PlayfulLilDarlin]

Destiny2 Lightfall. No spoilers... bu...well...that was sure an expansion that I paid my hard earned money for.

Babish is so great

ok So this season of Mando has not been great for me. I had hoped it would be more in line with the previous seasons, but it feels like Disney is pushing to have their sequel trilogy canon reinforced.

I haven’t watched episode 4 yet, but 3 was kind of a mess. You could see all along the Comms officer was up to something grim and it just dragged. I’m still committed but yeah, feels like we are working a little too hard to set up first order

I am just shy of grudge watching. 4 is a bit of a redemption but lord there are plot holes and my suspension of disbelieve is stretched thin. It even offended my sense of spacial awareness. And I don't know that I have ever said that about anything.
