In a recent stream Matt Colville was talking about the lore for his game's default setting, and he mentioned asking an astronomer friend of his some questions about the moons of the setting. The conversation went something like...
Astronomer: This is impossible.
Matt Colville: Excellent.
Astronomer: This is impossible.

Ah yes the eldar, the empire that gooned a cum satan into existence. I'm sure they did so via cis het missionary and definitely not by exploring every kind of sex and sexuality that has or even could exist

I watched the latest superman, I liked it buuut I feel that the people making the movies are tantalizingly close to getting the thing that makes superman good. What is it that makes superman good then? How does an unbeatable guy handle something that can't be super strenghted away...

It's called failure for some reason in many PBTA games but it's not necessarily failure, it's within the MC's and players purview to describe a "failed" roll where the players succeeds but something bad happens. The rolls in PBTA are not task resolution they are does something interesting happen..
Sorry I just think the bell curve of 2d6 means that failure on 7- moves characters out of the zone of expected competence and into the zone of "incompetent at risk assessment". But I also fully place the blame for "50/50 is an average difficulty outside of a fistfight" squarely at the feet of WOTC.

We finally know where Rey came from. The halo also implies Wattoo was impregnated by the force maybe even a force spirit. Obi Wan, Yoda or Anakin take your pick... Dooku ^^

Why do people call computer games(with stats that go up) RPGs and roleplaying games TTRPGs.
Surely roleplaying games came first so should be called RPGs and computer games should be called CRPG(Computer RPG).
Table Top in TTRPG doesn't make sense to either.You don't require a table top to play RPGs.
