There is quite a bit of this sort of environment related gameplay elements. It has to have been a royal bitch to develop but now that they have it as a tool it should be possible to do some pretty awesome things with it.

Blame the Brits. They are the ones who came up with the githyanki etc in White Dwarf magazine. Then it got added to the Fiend Folio and the rest is history.

I should have said 'taking the time to code' rather than adding. I actually preferred the way 4e handled healing in that the healer was more of a catalyst for healing rather than a walking medic. In our 5e pen and paper games we've had people try to play creative cleric/druid types the past...

I mean it makes sense in that Githyanki are a big new addition for this game. They are the new Tieflings I guess. Peak concurrent users on Steam for the past 24 hours is 73k. So that's a LOT of people for Early Access...

They did a cool thing by adding in a bunch of nifty spells. Damn shame that I'm back to 'heal bitch' for the cleric and 'pew pew magic missiles' for the wizard in nearly all encounters. WRT Stadia -- it is far from ideal yeah but the GM for my Zoom-based D&D game has a crappy mac and otherwise...

I can already see many different ways this first megamap of encounters and interactions can go down. Had difficulty playing multiplayer with a bud who uses Stadia because PC had a hotfix yesterday that didn't go out to Stadia right away. It seems odd to take a long rest during the first map...

On the flipside the evil druids are pretty slick

How is this shit not on Disney+ already?

WTF that thing is huge! That looks taller than 15.74" Also -- they overengineered that little plastic base like crazy.

What are the odds that WW84 sticks with the X-mas day release? Warner Brothers has cleared all other 'event' films waaaaay out with the next one being Dune in Oct 2021 and stuff like The Batman shoved all the way to 2022.

Ahh I hadn't noticed that. Obviously the Githyanki chick is super evil and Astarion seems to be a vampire... Gale seems to be a Dorian knockoff, only a womanizer.

I don't know if the companions available are evil so much as douches. It looks like there is potential for you to play as one of the companions given the options in the character generator, which would help with the whole 4 person limit for parties. The 'low magic' 5e is driven largely by...

I do like the amount of flexibility they incorporate. You can use spells in much more creative ways than before but the flip side is that unlike in Pathfinder the melee classes are kinda dull.

I played their demo that they had up for that Steam Week thingy back in June and I was pleasantly surprised by Solasta. It really felt like an authentic D&D experience.

Gives them more time to polish the film in post I suppose. It does raise the question about filming part 2 however, if they wait to see how the first part does before they greenlight production it will be harder to secure all the necessary actors.

I find the anti-woke to be far more annoying than the woke. Certainly the anti-woke seem more likely to get their panties in a knot.

You violated Scrooge McDuck's number one rule: work smarter, not harder. I know a lot of incredibly hard working folk who are just barely squeaking by and a good number of incredibly lazy people who coast their way to success.

Yes. Well if you go against the current stage of the attack. The bar will start to move the other direction during the stage unless you are really proactive about killing the enemy squadron while also working on the cap

They really do need to work on making genuinely compelling Imperial officers. They come close with Grey who is dedicated to the Empire due to the lack of justice on his homeworld but even still they go all wonky with 'if you have power you are right'. Somewhere in the Galaxy there has to be an...

Massachusetts is only this coming Monday allowing concessions sales at theaters. So not only have the places been ghost towns but the poor saps who went couldnt even have popcorn...

I'm enjoying it. Played through the first few storyline missions then gave fleet vs AI a shot a couple times while on telecoms. Right now every human is fighting as a solo player and the AI is fighting as a team and so it's pretty rough even on Easy mode. We were losing bad until I jumped...

I and others have been pestering them about the B-Wing / Tie-Defender and their consistent response was 'no microtransactions, no DLC, no expansion'. In other news I scored a list-price order for a Tflight One HOTAS, but it won't be here for another week :(

I miss Taco Bell. The only one nearby is really really bad :( Yum Foods needs to have a much tighter rein on the franchises.

People are up in arms because CD Projekt Red is going to 6-day workweeks until this ships. At this point that would be at best a gain of 1week of additional labor. I doubt its about actual hours of work needed and more about a sense of urgency to get everyone to focus.

The QA types I met looked like Jack Skellington, so I can believe the lacking meals bit.

I wonder if EverQuest would be okay today or not. Vaguely western european humans were Qeynos, vaguely middle-eastern humans were Freeport. Halas had the ultrawhite nordic types as Barbarians and the Odus was basically Wakanda with the Erudites.

Releases in just over 4 days but due to the completely predicted demand for HOTAS controls for Microsoft Flight Simulator there is not a single controller to be had anywhere. I feel this is going to make the cross-platform nature of the game into a bloodbath.

It's 2020. Even if we ignore the blatant racism displayed by some of these dipshits there are still lots of worse things to concern ourselves with than elves with vaguely African or Asian features.

Or just expansions where the hub zone was Dalaran? It is still the champion in terms of effective and efficient design while retaining distinct flavor.

I had to do a quick search of old news to get a measure of how many units were available on launch day for other consoles. All numbers are North America unless specified otherwise. Nintendo 64 = 350k sold over first four days, 500k sold over the initial 4 month launch (production backlog)...

You apply it fairly generously to the popcorn and oil before popping. There is a ratio listed on the carton but I always eyeball it. Sometimes people will sprinkle more on afterwards if they have the physiology of a salt vampire, but typically the stuff you put on before is plenty.

I feel that BFA was an entire expansion where the hero gets shunted off to a secondary plotline in a much bigger movie. Like there was some other main plotline taking place that we were just not part of...but alas no. At the end of Legion it seemed as if we opened up a whole universe of other...

I always make mass quantities of popcorn for movie night (fewer now that we have social distancing) and people comment that it tastes exactly like / better than movie popcorn. I'm like 'no shit...I didn't spend my entire time during undergrad working at a GCC for nothing' Anywho it's not a...

Went to watch Ebola Holmes and ended up watching the Social Dilemma instead. That's pretty much a horror film. 😞

Yeah ain't no Trek fans watching that shit on broadcast CBS. Only people watching that are boomers who still regularly watch CBS in the first place.

I wonder how many people are in the 'eh whichever one I can get first' when it comes to PS vs Xbox? Is there a genuine market advantage to be had here or is it just that people already have in mind what they want? If they only plan to get a specific one, or plan to get both, there is no...

That's for the best, your soul will thank you.

AMC seems to think that $5 for a small popcorn is something that will compel us to come visit their cesspool.

I can't imagine why people would even want to have communication on with people on a console who wasn't already a good friend, much less manage to get banned.

Hearing rumors that a bunch of current people are jumping ship after some stock bonuses finish vesting on Oct 1st. I guess after the Bungie splinter Activision suits came down hard on the Bliz creatives and the COVID attitude has made things untenable.
