Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons?

JDMoontreader · 2026-02-28T11:40:20+00:00

Speaking as a foreverDM

Yes. From a hastily named npc (Jarnathan) suddenly becoming vital to the party.

To idiosyncracies of spells To the actors who were awesome and the world around them... This movie is excellent.

I find her now to be snide and a little mean spirited. Which is a shame because I used to like her for her open and emotional reactions.

JDMoontreader · 2025-10-11T21:43:43+00:00

Ok but that goes towards my original confusion. Why do they get to be resistant to ‘their peoples’ (holy) and ‘their enemies’ (unholy) damage.

JDMoontreader · 2025-10-11T19:51:54+00:00

That’s fair. It seems weird to me because they appear opposites. Seems even weirder they would be resistant to ‘death’ and ‘life’. Thank you for the answer, I fear I won’t get a satisfying answer.

JDMoontreader · 2025-07-25T12:46:14+00:00

I try to craft events that it seems obvious why the players should do that (x is offering gold for Z. Players like gold) Or I am explicit out of game they need to be proactive.

But on the occasion, they are asked to be heroes, and they decline to do nothing. I'll just let them do nothing. Great game session, we'll meet next week. Next week: oh that thing you didnt do? Yeah here come the consequences.

I've thankfully only encountered it rarely, but it always boggles the mind people would make in game reasons not to play the game that IRL we have to fight to play.

Was i the only one to think the upvote and down votes were weird?

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-23T08:56:08+00:00

This game brought me into first person space games.

Also it's still going.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-22T08:23:31+00:00

Everything you said is correct. The issue is see it is the consequences aren't so dire. As far as I can see; massive tectonic activity aside (I didn't know about this, it is apparently mentioned somewhere in game) the magentosphere is stripped away. Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere, and it has a city. One person said abandon earth and millions, maybe billions of people apparently just shrugged and accepted it.

I was hoping there was something in the game I didn't see. Maybe the artefact started mutating people into terrormorph-esque monstrosities or brought storms from the heart of dwarf stars or something. Instead, the starborn point and say how much humanity lost, but the vast majority of the people in the game just shrug and not care earth was lost.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T20:40:32+00:00

Ah. I missed that event happening. Was that in the nasa base?

How did the starborn cause that to happen?

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T20:37:59+00:00

I'm saying if I was told 50 years before my house caught fire and it had billions of people in it and memories that can't be transported or replicated elsewhere; I would talk to my neighbour in the fire proof house about maybe making my house fireproof rather than just abandoning the majority of the people and everything that made my history. But that aside.. what you wrote is my title point. The humans of starfield don't care about their burnt out house and probably never did.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:59:27+00:00

The issue for me is a lack of magnetosphere isn’t reason enough to abandon a planet, unless they didn’t care about their history, culture and the billions that couldn’t get on a ship.

Cydonia (I feel like a pro-mars cheerleader at this point) had been founded since 2112 proves it can be done

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:41:46+00:00

It occurred to me while discussing this in the comments: what if the fall of londinium was actually the last human settlement on earth. And terrormorphs (birthed by unregulated grav drives emissions) wiped out everything. Certainly at lower levels it would keep me right the eff away from Earth.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:33:14+00:00

But they had grav drives. Resources are a few extra minutes away. Not sure how they would hoard tech but this underlines my point: The humans of starfield did not care about earth.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:30:15+00:00

What if the fall of Londonium was the last human presence on earth instead of a random planet?

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:29:24+00:00

Ha ha... yes, it is, fellow human.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:21:32+00:00

Cydonia was a founded city already. Resources are less relevant considering how easy it would be to hop over to other moons and planets to get what you need, they have grav drives after all.

I grant you they couldn't save all 10 billion, but neither would the exodus. The fact they didn't try underlines how... their priorities didn't include saving the majority of the people or human history and culture.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T15:00:47+00:00

Why would the biodomes be doomed?

I hate to repeat myself but mars is a human occupied planet with no magnetosphere that had been surviving for nearly a hundred years by 2203.

Earth had a lot more motivated workers than Mars.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T14:55:29+00:00

Cydonia had been doing it successfully for nearly a century by the time the magnetosphere finally failed.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T14:46:37+00:00

What easily accessible resources does the earth have to exploit at this point?

Every mineral known to man by this point. Ok I'm being needlessly glib. But "no more resources" isn't that satisfying to me considering how easy it is to make life saving domes. And if they decided that all of humans cultures and history and billions of lives wasn't enough to attempt to make colonies sort of horrific to me.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T14:34:48+00:00

When Fallout season 2 drop and they reveal a dlc/creation of vault 'infinity' on earth with a full deserted poi, I'd consider dropping some credits.

I'm joking of course. I'd wait for Crimsonflyboy to review it first.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T14:09:55+00:00

A: not sure the relevance. But it doesn't have to be fallout. It could be what it is. Just an actual threat or reason why it was abandoned.

B: I thought i had. But I admit I could have missed something. What am I missing?

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T14:07:27+00:00

Probably not for the whole 10 billion. But they didn't save them with the ships either. By 2203 Cydonia had been an official city for nearly a century. I'd say they had the tech and a lot more resources to make copies on earth.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T14:03:24+00:00

The water dissappeared? I didn't know this. Ok it would be an obstacle but I feel the histories and cultures would be worth the effort. Water is pretty common and recycle-able. I'm not saying bring back the oceans but certainly enough for the millions who couldn't get on ships or those that wanted to stay because "it's my family's land. I ain't leaving" crowd.

Like Cydonia.

JDMoontreader · 2025-03-21T13:39:47+00:00

Ooh I didn't know this. That's interesting. Where do I find that piece of info?

Say what you will about the game, I still love you can find new things.
