i suppose that makes sense. i wasn't sure if what you said had any actual reasoning or if it was just the statement of some weeb who heard of iaido and so tries to bring it up in any kind of context whether it's applicable or not

i'm curious as to why you mentioned iaido specifically. nothing of what he did is really congruent with iaido's teachings other than that he had a sword. there are a whole bunch of martial arts that use katana and the way he sheathes it at the end is one of the basic ways that all of them do it

to a certain degree, yes, i agree. but ahsoka was never the stoic type unless she was right in the middle of something serious. she's an atypical jedi in that sense, and that's something that really endeared her to the fans. this is also happening many years down the road for her and she's seen...

ahsoka is supposed to be like 34 by the end of rebels, hera is mid 20's, and sabine is i think 19 at the end of rebels. so sabine, yes, definitely a kid and hera is a kid to some of us 40+ adults but she also had a kid with kanan, so she's officially a milf. edit: remember that Ezra is the same...

yeah, when i watched it tuesday, i was generally pretty happy with it, but the more i reflect on it, the more the unrelenting stoicism sticks out. there's a lot about the show i liked, but it's really odd to me how different these characters are from rebels to live action. maybe it's just that...

crit failure's and success on skill checks are official variant rules for 5e, just like flanking. we've flipped flopped in our weekly game on crits for skill checks, initially we used them but currently we do a homebrew rule where if you roll a nat20 on a skill check, you can roll a d10 and add...

yeah, that's my guess. if they go to a new galaxy, then they have a whole new world of stories they can tell while still being connected to the skywalker saga. you know, without actually being connected to the skywalker saga. this way they can FUNCTIONALLY retcon the sequel trilogy without...

i can only assume this is exactly what her husband is thinking too

is that an issue with chuk or just a scathing indictment of superhero media?

we don't play with any strict rules on encumbrance, food and water and resting. resting just sort of takes care of itself with these games, unless it's part of a plot point or something. we'll do a forced march rule where if we need to get some place quick if we travel for more than 16 hours a...

it has a minute long casting time so it's generally not going to be used DURING an encounter. it's a spell that allows for traveling long distances at increased speeds as well as allowing scouting. but there are plenty of things that "counter" it. detect magic would make it visible, i'd argue...

initially i thought that exact thing. that it was just some inquisitor remnant meant to give ahsoka some level of "challenge" before baylan and shin showed up, and i would have been totally fine with that. but with the way they are showing it, it makes it pretty obvious that the mask isn't just...

omg that just triggered a flashback. there was this girl back in college i was kind of into. sometimes we'd just spontaneously take day trips to chicago (this is like 20 years ago, pre-ww3 chicago) and check out the sights. anyway, one day on our way back i was kind of craving red lobster and...

there's a certain point where the "reality" of dnd has to take a backseat to "you triggered a trap, take x damage" i mean, i appreciate being curious about things after the fact and wondering if there's different ways to execute things in a smoother manner, but like grabbit said, he's not...

tieflings don't have to be red. their specific lineage defines what color they are, but they can all be varying shades of those colors. plenty of tieflings have human colored skin

yeah there's been a long time fascination from star wars fans to see ahsoka vs starkiller. the idea of anakin's apprentices from two opposite sides of his life and how they would interact with each other is interesting, i can't lie. but if marrok IS starkiller (or a version of him at least) i'd...

yeah i don't really like time travel. it is SUCH a complex notion that always wraps things up so cleanly

Yeah, there's no reason for everyone to have their face visible except for this one guy. Even the inquisitors who wore masks had their faces visible plenty of times. His name is Marrok which has two interesting ideas attached to it. Marrok was the name of one of the knights of the round table...

honestly that'd be my ONLY criticism, that there wasn't a stop condition. but that also depends entirely on the deadliness of the campaign, you know? i mean if you're playing something like tomb of annihilation on meat grinder mode, then yeah i have no problem in the world with this. especially...

curious about this too. also i suppose i'd look at the intent of the trap. is it MEANT to be deadly, in which case are there ample warnings for the players? if it's meant to just be a drain on resources, forcing them to heal, or use spell slots to get through it, at what point do you rule that...

yeah it's a VERY common house rule. most every dm i've talked to about it has said they use it, and use it for the exact reason i said. that getting all the way to your turn and using it just to drink a potion doesn't feel very fun

that's not really fair on this board. is anyone NOT retarded?

yes, that's kind of what i meant by being a lost puppy, she doesn't know what to do without baylan and needs his guidance. filoni (i think it was filoni) said that baylan and shin aren't sith, and the orange sabers are supposed to tell as much to the viewers. obviously we need more info, but...

curse of strahd is good stuff. session 0's are great for new parties and new players so it's a good idea to do it. it's a great time to go over everyone's expectations, including yours. ask the group if they are looking for more rp opportunities, more tactical combat focus? are they looking for...

the nightsisters are dathomiran, which are a subspecies of zabrak. male dathomirans have the dark skin colors and crown of horns like darth maul (who is the son of mother talzin, the one in the middle of this picture) while the females tend to have pale skin and no horns. morgan elsbeth is...

i don't know if you ever got an answer to this, but his lawsuit with... uh... whoever it's with got him kicked from the film. he was suing a director (i think) for sexual assault and it happened to be someone who is connected to the studio doing these films so they said if he wanted to keep...

you're betting WHAT was in the script? you have no idea what is going to happen, this is the epitome of watching something in bad faith.

yeah, like i said, for people that haven't seen the cartoons, i can see why they'd think this is just more STRONG FEMALE nonsense, but that's absolutely not ahsoka. she's earned every bit of strength she has. like the only reason she survived order 66 was because anakin trained her brutally...

no, i don't think so. shin is strong, but i don't think she's THAT strong. they make a point that whenever the two of them are on screen together, shin is staring at baylan like a lost puppy.

the majority of what we've seen from ahsoka is from animation. all of what we've seen from shin is live action. i get there's discrepancies between these two shows, but you have to remember that these are two very different mediums. and the look on shin's face as she sensed ahsoka was getting...

no. i'm not saying that. or rather, yes i am, but not because of clone wars and rebels. and also, stop. don't sully ray stevenson.

bro i was JUST going to post this. i laughed out loud when i saw it

so, i agree with you. there was a lot they could have done to make it look better/cooler. but i think the intention was to keep the focus on sabine. so showing ahsoka flipping through the air, attacking shin, whatever, would have changed the moment to be about ahsoka instead of being about...

no. you aren't. she was never promoted out of being a padawan officially, though i'm pretty sure you can consider her a jedi master level force user. but yeah, someone just forgot his own lore

with the landing 100 yards away thing... some of it is hard because i can't quite get an accurate scale for how big that ship is, but it shows the ship getting close enough for the spotlight to hit pretty bright, which ultimately scares shin off. then it shows ahsoka running from what seems to...

on paper i agree with you. but this being based on characters that we've already seen changes my viewpoint on it. technically the only NEW female character we've seen is shin hati, right? morgan elsbeth is newish, we've seen her in mando, so i suppose you could argue that she was purposefully...

as a show rated purely on it's own, i liked it, i thought it was good. not perfect, but worth the watch. rated as a disney+ show this was damn near perfect. i know a lot of people thought it had moments where it dragged a bit, but i didn't think so. andor had similar criticisms in that regard...

yeah, i think that is one of the main reasons for the strikes, isn't it? i mean there's the issue surrounding payment for streaming obviously, but AI is a huge part of the debate. at what point is a studio obligated to pay an actor who didn't do a second's worth of work? on the other hand, an...

it's just representative of the real problem. the people making these movies have NO IDEA what made these characters popular in the first place. if you look at any comic book character from any publisher that has maintained any modicum of popularity, if you EVER try to explain that popularity...
