Banging mirror universe Jadzia is one of those little things you would FOR SURE excise from a script nowadays. It has a logic to it but it's got larger implications for Sisko if you think about it at all.

Vacuum desiccated offspring of the emissary for sale. edit - I'm not making fun of Star Trek or DS9 or it's characters. I'm making fun of nu-Trek writing. Cassidy aborting a parasitic clump of cells to preserve her career fits like a glove.

Sounds terrible and also pointless? Not that anyone really gives a shit about Trill symbiotes but we do see that when they get old they stop being implanted and instead chill in little hot tubs. We do see in Children of Time that the Dax symbiote is still trucking after an extra 200 years but...

That was indeed the issue, yes. I think that Brooks got the dialogue changed to sound like Sisko would return which makes me really curious what the original version was like.

Having to go through school again with a child's perception of time sounds like torture. EVERYTHING TAKES FOREVER. Just an hour in the car is an eternity. I get wanting to be able to walk without a limp and have all your teeth back though.

I've never picked up the DS9 relaunch novels but I think he comes back in one of them!

The collecting side is whatever but I'd kinda like to see what a long-term campaign looks like. I had the boxed set and read through it and it looked like super death. I know the base races and classes are a little juiced and psionics have a long and proud history of being nuts but the adventure...

You have to figure too that when TSR went under a lot of product just didn't make it on to anyone's shelf or even a box in the basement. It went in to the dumpster. Slaying the Dragon, which I think you've read, has a story about a storage warehouse that the company stopped paying stuffed to the...

That's a hoot. All that stuff was on super clearance back in the day. No one gave a shit. Game stores and book stores alike choked on it.

I did my two stones on Herald of Purity is My Six Link Herald. It was something I wanted to try since Dark Monarch was introduced. Twelve Sentinels of Purity has to be sweet as hell. It was pretty smooth. I got just enough money together for the hat and a Coming Calamity with the Foulborn...

I always assumed cultivation was way more asian than is was rpg.

When the agent of the writer for the first book was negotiating the rights to the film adaptation he included that David Morrell would have dibs on all book adaptions of sequel films. Rambo dies in the novel (spoilers) but the agent asked for it anyway. Morrell stopped after Rambo 3 but I like...

At least he didn't an hero again setting up Ghost Story 2

Alright but this harem anime better not kill off any more true loves just so the hero can get a little pathos.

It's an extreme delayed gratification mechanic on a three week psuedo event league. Couple odd choices with this one. I'm having a decent time but it's entirely because I had been wanting to try the Herald and really didn't play the last Phrecia at all. if I wasn't all about the character I...

Now to see how many people got this going

I didn't know there was a problem until I checked reddit today.

I'm going to keep harping on it. It just doesn't work because of Susan. It was established that she was his true love. Their love shielded him from the White Court of Vampire on more than one occasion. She was the mother of his child and he opened her throat albeit at her request. That's some...

Except it concludes with her wrong, the dude dead and no one really simping for her. Again, weird.

There's an episode of Voyager where Seven accuses a man of violating her. She has some repressed memories surface of him performing experiments on her and her borg implants, extracting nanoprobes, etc. Dude denies it, flees, dies aaaaaaaand yeah. It looks like it was just some Borg PTSD and the...

Although I of course agree and have stated that Star Trek was progressive from the start it's also important to note what that actually meant. We've got a Japanese guy at the helm. There's a Russian in charge of weapon. Roddenberry made sure to place Uhura's station such that turbo racist TV...

The book I thought we were going to get was going to be mostly about the wedding with Lara. Heroes and villains a plenty as all heck breaks loose during the ceremony with treachery and double crosses and double double crosses. Something fun and a little comic book-ish as our hero has to navigate...

It's exactly how it went last time which is just kinda how it always goes with everything. Scare people out at the bottom and shove them in at the top.

Archiving this Too interesting

Buy an ounce of silver and crash JP Morgan! That was the story back in 2011 when silver was on a rocket ride to 50 bucks an ounce. I think it went as low as 17 in the aftermath? I'm not surprised to see something similar happen again just with bigger numbers.

That one blows. It's different when someone you were fond of dies at 90+ but 71 just isn't that old.

I'm having fun but goddamn are hive fortresses annoying in the campaign. The faster you're trying to get through ten acts the more in your way they are.

In DS9 Kira is an unabashed terrorist. She did what she needed to be done. If you were enslaved by the Cardassians and got blown up working in their mines or factories that's what you get for being a collaborator. She planted a bomb in her mother's quarters in the hopes it would kill Dukat...

Sure, Star Trek was always progressive but it was also even-handed. You present a complex issue and if it's a real world allegory there's enough distance between the real thing and it's simulacrum that the audience doesn't just immediately know what you're up to. You do a bit of work so there's...

That's the exact face my cat makes when she ain't got no time for my shit. It's uncanny. unrelated -

And they're good!

You ever give Will Wight's Cradle series a try? Travis Baldree brings the audiobooks alive. @OU Ariakas and they've even finished. Twelve books with a competent ending.

Vaniki had some problems but going out in to the world and seeing what you could do with +10 levels of leeway and no level based resistance modifers was fun as hell.

Hey, Dan Simmons. I just finished Carrion Comfort last week. A secretive cabal of psychic vampires pull strings behind the scenes. Our main characters are a group of people that had their lives upended from one of the little games these elite like to play. With "The Ability" they can make...
