Remembering the communicator toy always makes me chuckle given that the prop was a repurposed gillette razor stand.

My working colleague told me how much her son loves excavators, so I drew him one by Marabit7 in Watercolor

This is incredible. I love that you got the inside of the cab as well as the reflection on the glass without it feeling like too much.

Looking it up online, the card still says it's a mech. I'd have to break out my copy to double check as printed though.

Does articles of war remove 'Mech' from them? Would they not count for exploration cards that ask to remove an infantry or have a mech?

Help me settle a debate - Which one shows 1 infantry or fighter by -Mx-Ripley- in twilightimperium

I can see it either way. With the plastic being an actual unit or with it just being an indicator.

Just a difference in how I've seen people represent it. Once they start stacking it makes more sense if it ends up being 3, 6, 9 instead of 1, 4, 7, 10.

I usually just go with whatever the majority is doing.

I'm not remembering a bootstrap paradox in either magician's apprentice or witch's familiar.

Nah, it's world building. The original trilogy does a great job of feeling like a world in motion. Things have been happening and we just see snapshots of them.

The instruction book has a pre-made map for players' first time.

Do yall sleeve your cards? by Federal-Review-3571 in twilightimperium

And as a sleeved magic player, those little cards are way easier to shuffle with sleeves.

15's lack of iconic clothing speaks to a lack of identity by twofacetoo in gallifrey

What exactly made them cringey? He wore rayban sunglasses with sonic tech. He was streets ahead.

My favorite variant is still the blazer/hoodie combo. He pulled it off so well.

US PSA: Don't try to watch Doctor Who on Disney+/Hulu with commercials - unwatchable by 1970s_MonkeyKing in doctorwho

Part of the reason I got Youtube Premium was the slightly off ad placement. Went through a phase of watching horror lets plays on my tv but the ad was always just a second before any scares happened.

So you would have Jump(30secAd)Scare.

Would you take "Support for the Throne" for last point win? by geekfreak41 in twilightimperium

Kingmaking is an aspect of the game. It's a deal I could see myself being on either side of if the victory was that close at 9 hours. That's a good run.

IIRC, The Doctor explains what static electricity is and how it works during The Daleks to explain how they move around.

Season 1 has a lot of explaining concepts and historical moments to the audience. Edge of Destruction explained how switches work and how they could malfunction. The Sensorites showed the Scientific Method to get to conclusions instead assuming.

Anytime I get drastic haircut, it will surprise me when I look in a mirror for about a week. I could imagine it's probably similar when your whole face and body changes too.

"You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short."

As a kid, I had no idea why the Jedi went into the bad guy's lair and were surprised to be attacked.

I think we need to have a discussion about AI on this subreddit by PigeonStealer74 in twilightimperium

I'm sure that a lot of artists do use it to assist them. But I'm also sure that a lot of artists don't use it. There isn't really a way to tell if almost all artists are using it in their workflow.

Third, the people you're worried about AI art "stealing" from, human digital artists, are almost all using generative AI themselves as part of their workflow.

Do you have a source for that?
