“Being an orphan was good enough for me, it should be good enough for my son!”

I’d be disappointed if my orb experience was the same as the time I did acid. I wanna see some real shit, not just waves and streaks.

Look, I’m not gonna tell you the DC so you can just make a note and come back later knowing you can pass. You’re gonna have to see what happens and figure it out. The only time I will ever tell a player they can’t do something, is if they are trying to do something that is against the rules of the game. I might inform them of potential consequences of their actions if they don’t seem to quite understand something that should be obvious, but that’s about it. I also use critical fail and success with skill checks in my games, to make things more interesting. So even if the DC is impossible, a NAT20 may still get you through.

I suck at math and I know programming fairly well. It’s more about logic and order of operation than anything. Knowing when to add, subtract, multiply or divide. At least when it comes to math knowledge needed. I feel like most people, even the worst at math, know when to use certain operations even if they couldn’t solve the equation they wrote.

It’s all already logged and timestamped and what not… If you ever truly need to make a copyright claim, all you really need is proof you had the idea first which should be as easy as providing the comment/post in question, as well as proof that you are indeed the user that made it.

1. Vinegar is a weak acid and doesn’t react with any kind of plastic. It often is sold in plastic.
2. Certain plastics != all plastics. There are many types of plastic. Unless you know what kind exactly you’re using, it’s better to err on the side of caution.

Bleach can react with certain plastics and corrode it over time.

I always wanted a Trek series that followed humans that were not part of the Federation. Maybe Maquis. Maybe characters more like Firefly’s. Just in that universe and not bound to the rules and regulations we already know about through the other series.

Prodigy almost fits, except that the kids are aspiring to be like Starfleet so they are still following their rules and regulations… Mostly. Plus they’re being guided by a holographic version of Janeway.

Tesla crashes because they don’t have anyone driving.

RAMs crash because they have someone driving.

They are not the same.

Dax looks good in that old uniform; not sure about the hairdo though.

Those people won’t have lives if a giant asteroid collides with earth.

Star Trek itself often has nuance that’s about as subtle as being hit in the face with a brick. Need I remind everyone about Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, TOS S3E15.

16 hours later

Everyone waiting outside: “What’s taking so damn long?”

Cop, inside: “This would be easier if I knew how to read…”

Bleach could potentially damage the lunch box given that OP says it’s plastic. I’d stick with just vinegar.

It is strange that listening is a skill. But that skill isn’t going to affect what you hear; only if you can hear something.

Exist.

What my players hear depends entirely on how well they roll. Nat 20? What do you know, the orcs just happen to be going over their plans. Nat 1? The orcs hear you. A passing roll, but just barely? You overhear one of them fart and 2 others laughing hysterically.

This is a situation with an element of luck and you’re literally using luck to determine if they even succeed; why not incorporate the numbers in the roll to reflect the random nature of the game world’s reality?

Hell yeah for blue cheese on a burger. 🤤

I thought it was the reflection of a T-100 Terminator.

Unless they pull a mega hit out of their behind

Maybe they could do, I dunno… Soul Reaver?
