God I didn't even think of that. Instant army. Altho, for that matter, you could also just use a replicator to fabricate an instant army of killbots.

My players THINK my kobolds have an elaborate and well-developed society but actually eee he's just a lil guy omg lookit how cute he is

Al Borlan from Tool Time

Most of the crew dies offscreen, they just keep duplicating them all the time.

Next quest is to go acquire supplies for an influx of refugees. Once players return with the supplies, they're directed to the refugee camp to deliver them, and it's all the surviving kobolds.

Make a will save.

Thank god for firefox!

No, sometimes one of the bins moves between the bed and chair.

Hot take, but I think the martial/caster power imbalance is imaginary, and has been even in 3.5.

It comes from people doing thought-experiment characters, like Pun Pun, rather than actual play. You can have a caster player say "I use this series of spells in such a way as to break the game" but in practice it happens far less often than "I murderhobo the NPCs to break the game" and is easily dealt with the same way. If your caster is just playing like a normal person and fireballs a dozen goblins or whatever, the barbarian great cleaves a dozen more, everyone has fun, all is good.

She complains about having to use her ration on coffee in one episode. Presumably that's why they divert to the coffee nebula.

I do love watching shuttle launches, but I'm not sure I'd call a bunch of public domain NASA footage the best opening sequence ever.

I feel like some of that was on purpose. Like, the whole point of the show was our bumbling first steps into space, there's gotta be mistakes. And it gives some latitude to explore plots that aren't all "Flawless Space Hero Saves the Day"

I think a lot of atrocities come from our need to be accepted by the people around us. Especially with fascists, whose group identity is based around excluding and hurting the outgroup, they're stuck in a constant cycle of egging eachother on. One fascist says "lets beat up a black guy", the others nod, and the person who feels most vulnerable to getting kicked out of the group tries to prove he belongs by saying "Nah, let's KILL a black guy" repeat ad nauseam.

It's not just a +1 fyi, it's a decent enchant

Old man yells at cloud. Just because the groups/campaigns he may have played in the last 20 years apparently felt limiting and anti-improv, doesn't mean that that's some kind of trend and things were better back in the good ol days/

3.5 has limited slots for cantrips

3.5 has a ton of splatbooks, sure, but they're expansions. You go in one, if you want, at character creation to pull out a cool class you want to play. Not playing something out of that book? Then you never need to think about it. It's not like you have to have encyclopedic knowledge of all the hundreds of splatbooks; all the rules are contained in the DMG and PHB, just like with 5e.

I'm only subscribed to two lemmys right now...an RPG memes one, and a furry memes one. And I love it when I can't tell which one I'm reading.

"A 25 in your primary ability by level 20? Nay, this shall not be!"

It did indeed work! Deleting now...
