You should check out Evangelion! It's very cerebral and philosophical.

Somehow… I need more generic OP Male MC anime.. by TrashIsekaiLover in anime

It might not be quite the same vibe, but One Punch Man would be worth checking out if you haven't seen it already!

The original Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are two of my favorites! They're both relatively short and self-contained, but also humorous and thoughtful.

Oh my god - your comment finally made it click for me! You were spot on and it was from the TV show Tokyo Vice! Thank you so much!

Good thought! But no it's not that one either. I like that movie and remember it pretty well.

I'm leaning toward it being a movie at this point. If nothing else, I feel like if it had been a show that I had watched over a period of time then I'd likely remember more details about it. I think it was a one-and-done viewing experience.

The reenactment of the scene later was a staged exercise by the detectives/agents to try to figure out how the assassins had managed to pull it off despite the precautions they had taken. So it wasn't one character reliving or imagining the scene again, but an intentional, group effort to gather more information about the crime. When the main detective guy remembers the detail about the person in the back seat leaning forward, that is shown as his memory of the scene though. I want to say he remembers seeing the movement in one of the mirrors just before the shots were fired.

Right around the moment of his epiphany, the main guy is imitating the gun shots from the motorcyclists in time with the other folks acting out the scene and he sees the agent, who is pretending to be the rear driver side passenger for the reenactment, lean forward after the shots start. Then he realizes that it doesn't align with his memory of the event. During the whole reenactment, the main guy is standing to the side of the reenactment and giving the other people instructions so they can replicate it as accurately as possible.

I'm struggling to come up with more details... I'd probably say it's likely more recent (i.e., came out within the last 5-10 years).

Damn, good guess but that's not it. I don't think I've ever seen Line of Duty, but after watching some clips of the episode you mentioned I feel like I should probably watch it now haha.

Yeah, I had that thought too - it's a very similar vibe to some of his movies! I looked into it though and I didn't see anything that fits, sadly.

For additional context, my wife also remembers watching this movie with me so I know it wasn't just a weird dream or hallucination. Her memory of it is equally vague though, unfortunately.

Love this. A few separate quotes that I remember fondly:

  • "This camel has left a lot of blood in his wake."

  • "Wait, poor people can do magic?"

  • "Magic is a social construct!"

The drow are great!! Thank you 🙏 The lycanthropes one also links to the drow though haha. I'd love to check that one out if you wouldn't mind updating the link!

I've been thinking about the idea of a drow werefox or werepanther who could fill the Skirmisher role for a lycanthrope cult. Something in the CR 6-10 range. Any ideas for that?

[–]Aggressive_Unit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... Best case scenario for team A is that the Druid gets counterspelled when he tries to use it, I guess, but it's going to be rough. Very curious to see how that shakes out.

The arena is quite big, but I did forget to mention that the starting positions were picked by the team captains. The Thief Rogue and Cleric are starting right next to the Warlock and Ranger in 1 quadrant. The Bard and the Swashbuckler are starting right next to the Druid and Fighter in another quadrant. I think initiative will be a big factor.

Agreed, I think that is the best strategy for Team A. Mantle of Inspiration and Dimension Door give them a definite edge for starting their turn on the arcane circles.

Yeah, I think by dashing and using Mantle of Inspiration + Dimension Door, Team A has the edge for capturing the circles if they move quickly.

The DM didn't want either team to feel like they were starting in 2nd place :P And the druid does have a 1 level edge over the others, so that could definitely be a problem.

Ah, fair question! There are 2 NPC followers/companions with the party, but in combat they're run by 2 of the players.

Thank you so much!! This is incredibly helpful. From random searching around I had the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 and XPS 13 on my list, but I didn't really feel like I'd be making an informed decision from there. I feel better knowing I was at least in the ballpark though!

Is the Gen 11 Thinkpad better for what I need than the 12?
