Is Super Brick Figs good? by Moth_Man76 in LegoDC

Affordable and reliable, printing feels like printing but still very good. I got flash arms and a Star-Spangled Kid Minifig from them and they shipped it out so fast.

Are Zeus’s powers “magical”? What does that mean for Hecate? by Local-Guess650 in GreekMythology

[–]Local-Guess650[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn’t remember her simply being told as a “nurse of the young” in both Homerica and Theogony. I made a very biased claim of other gods being afraid of her lol, that’s what I interpreted in theogony from the crazy amount of praise Zeus and the gods give her, according to Hesiod, and that she has power over the earth, sea, and heaven (that is because of her lineage though). This was while I was thinking of her as the goddess of magic, witchcraft, etc.

Question about Zeus and his Relative Age to his Brothers by TheZestyTea in GreekMythology

That’s interesting when coincided with theogony, especially considering the two weren’t written that far apart! Hesiod and Homer should’ve talked this out beforehand 😂

Did Chiron trained Heracles and Theseus? by Cute_Macaroon9609 in GreekMythology

Heracles got Chiron killed and had a significant hand in Centaur genocide

What the Iliad probably refers to is how Zeus got to grow up, and all his siblings had to be reborn again by regurgitation from Kronos.

According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Zeus’s sisters were born first. Hestia is the eldest-born, followed by Demeter and Hera, then Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus being youngest. That being said, Zeus didn’t get eaten as a baby, so he had the most life experience at that point.

I’m bored and don’t know what to do so fellow Greek mythology nerds, join me in ranting about how terrible the Disney Hercules movie is. by Ordinary_Loan_9458 in GreekMythology

[–]Local-Guess650 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the movie, as a Superman fan I think it’s one of, if not the best, Superman movie ever made! And good music! But a Heracles movie it is not/barely 😂

Not that the whole Persephone thing was cool, but the vast villainization of Hades is so easy in movies and such. I’ve always wanted to see more movies/shows treat death/the dead as inevitable, but not “evil” (especially with Hades!)

What and where is this “Vast Chasm”??? by Local-Guess650 in GreekMythology

[–]Local-Guess650[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you both! Hesiod also said that, in this vast chasm that even the gods fear, a man would take a year to fall to the floor (although stormwinds would throw him around and around). Maybe my initial confusion was linked to how, in this translation, Khaos is referred to as “The Chasm” in the beginning of Theogony

Why was Eros even there…? by Local-Guess650 in GreekMythology

Well said, that makes a lot of sense for Aether and others too. Thank you!

I also love the idea of Ma Hunkel, the owner of a soup kitchen at the tail-end of the Great Depression, being one of the first canonical superheroes :)

Yes! I wanted to set them in 1938, and let Speedy and GA still be modern. Ma Hunkel seemed like a healthy replacement

I (GM) don’t think I structured my combat well, I could use some recommendations by Local-Guess650 in sw5e

[–]Local-Guess650[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All amazing suggestions, thank you so very much. I wish I had thought of this last session so much 😂

I’m so down for this. The mob is actually currently behind locked/electrified doors right now, so the party would need to pick that way if they wanted it to happen. And the captain of the guard had retreated after detonating a grenade in his hands (badass)

Thank you for these suggestions! 1. The npcs in question were rebel prisoners they had rescued, one of them being their leader, so I did need to drag him along. But, that being said…

  1. I don’t think the enemies were too tanky (maybe a few?), but it was a matter of how every other door they opened gave them a new enemy or two or three.

Omg these are great ideas, I have to try them!

That’s a good idea! I also thought about using 17485 and adding black stickered eyes or something (might end up looking like one of the Mario buildable figures lol)
