Nintendo is suing happy and sues everyone and everything they can. I’d like not to be served papers to testify against a friend or myself for their fancy idea of copyright infrigment. How’s that for elaborating? If you want more on the device then ask politely.

5th Amendment in the US primarily and that’s going to be as far as I go.

For legal reasons I cannot say who but yeah, they are shipping and being delivered and version 2 has the switch on top to switch cartridges instead of clicking in and out AND the dumper works great, about 5 minutes to get the xci for most games and then throw on the SD and / or your steam deck or suyu device of choice.

True though the disguise kit would take more time. I am so far. part of my GMs annoyance is that a lot of the names of the NPCs are clear hints as to their purpose and if you speak German and some Latin it makes it VERY obvious what the next plot point will be so I have been banned from translating the names from now on.

Let the players as a group have agency in your narrative. It sounds like a stupid joke about the pet goblin but it isn’t. Our favorite campaign ever was a mage campaign where the players spent the whole campaign focus on one guy (Sir ben kingsley in Lucky number slevin) and they went after him with all they had. But on the side they made friends with some of the factions. Especially this one Sons of Ether, Lucy Monk. They confided in her and had her help them with plans. it was great.

Then the twist came.

Yeah, you figured it out.

But the look on their faces when they had to travel back in time to get the guy they thought was the BBEG and he turned around and showed them who it really was still makes the DM giggle to himself.

Any game you play matters if the players feel they are moving things along and making a difference, even a small one.

If you are the DM, be the rest of the world but let them move you.

Use and abuse prestidigitation. Annoying dog? here puppy, the best steak you ever tasted. need to ask the guards again? Change my clothes. plot exposition? minor cube of illusion. Between that and mending I have my GM debating firing my bard after only 3 sessions of curse of the crimson throne.

you’re thinking about it wrong. She tries as hard as she can to never use magic. her one spell she uses is a fancy Magic soul jar spell and maybe detect magic. For what she does you probably want a psionic.

Squint. Not even kidding, you squeeze it slightly.

Oooooooh, I have one:

It’s like a 5 page spread for the whole spiel but this is the most relevant page.

The one thing i will add it that the eye thing primarily is super true and backed up by science as 20% of our brain is dedicated to visual functions and adding a third would make our heads very very hard to handle for almost 0 benefits.

Drew Hayes: Anything he wrote but Superpowereds are about 30 hours on average and there’s 4. Phil and Kaja Folio: Girl Genius.

I also don’t see The Martian on this page so adding it as a suggestion.

Rey and Finn burgeoning romance hinted at in FA. I really wish they had built on that. Successful or not I can live with but at least try.

Lifelong fan of SW. I have seen all of them up to Last Jedi. I have read all of the EU back when it was cannon. Never went to New Jedi Order. Because the emotions it brought me were pain and suffering. They kill Mara Jade. The only other bad ass female character in a series of 30+ books. What about Children of the Jedi? I mean the entire Trilogy is whiny 70’s sci fi emo writing all it’s own but that the Star Wars stamp was put on it just adds insult to injury.

The anime out of context podcast on the former fits your description perfectly. The latter is too awesome for words.

I suspect part of it is protagonist. I, as a kid saw Luke as the character I was supposed to see the movie through. In EBS he’s barely there and he is at the lowest by the end.

In ROTJ you see his bitter sweet triumph but triumph never the less.
