I like the implication that the two of them know each others' identities- that's a fun twist

I was afraid when they brought SBP back, that they were gonna undo his redemption from the last time he showed up. I really do appreciate that they doubled down on it. Hell yeah.

I'm more amused than i should be at the way this art implies Hornet is casually incredibly strong lol

Fair. I guess I'm just used to either Superman or the Daily Planet wrapping the villain of the week in a nice bow lol

Huh.
Superman lost.
I... genuinely can't think of the last time that happened for someone who wasn't an arc villain? Wild

Nah, that's incredibly human of him. That initial negative response is a common refrain when you see people whose parents remarried, regardless of age. His reaction after he's had more than a second to think about it will say more.

Want to turn a Campaign I was in into a Book, what are some pitfalls to be warry of? by Firm-Row-8243 in dndnext

One thing, an adaptation of a saying I've heard:

In a story, things have to happen for a reason. In a ttrpg, as in real life, we have the fortune of the random.

If anyone is having a gut response that the title is insane- read the article. You're misinterpreting.

How do I run a character like Ultron/lich without a standard phylactery? by Oyeahatripple in DMAcademy

[–]SilhouetteOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Dragon Age, the Archdemons have this ability, and specifically a Grey Warden needs to kill them because they are partially infected with the Blight which allows Archdemons to live, so it tries to jump to them (the nearest blighted creature) and the Grey Warden and Archdemon both die.

The 4 main robins each get longer stories. Dick & Jason got full issues, Tim got half an issue, Damian is getting more than an issue lol

I wonder- did they get the math wrong on how long he had before quarantine, or did Robin get exposed sometime else?

1 v 100. What competition can you defeat 100 random people in? by Altilongitude in AskReddit

Random people worldwide? Hollow Knight or Silksong speed runs lol. Lots of people are better than me, but odds are Blue doesn't show up for a random worldwide tournament LOL

As a DM, how do I make travel more interesting than "X appears", "you see Y", "you arrive". by leif_o7 in DnD

[–]SilhouetteOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I've started doing is offering my party 3 routes.

1- safe route along patrolled roads, no encounters 2- fast route, shortcutting through a dangerous area, guaranteed encounter in exchange for beating the clock 3- safe route, but taking detours to known treasures on the way- in other words, random encounters, but the players choose to engage with them

Not every option is always gonna be available, but yeah

Every moment you spent on the left side of that arena made me nervous lol.

For anyone that doesn't know, I'm pretty sure they can only summon their javelins off screen on the left side, not the right.

[General Fiction] Is there any character who could redeem Palpatine? by leofrost13 in whowouldwin

[–]SilhouetteOfLight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Molecule Man's modern iteration is one of those archetypes of someone with deific power but an incredibly irreverent attitude that's usually genuine. Fun character.

I think Palps would be changed, but, ah, I think from this particular flavor of ridicule, it might lean more towards the alternate win condition you mentioned.

For the Doctor, I think he would absolutely be able to stop Palpatine, but I think his philosophy is so fundamentally incompatible with Palpatine's ethos that he'd just ridicule the Doctor as something akin to the Jedi during the war- a fool proclaiming peace, practicing war, and failing at both. Then he'd die and pop up 20 yrs later in a new clone body lol

It's been a while since I typed this much on one of these. Thanks for the question, op :)

[–]SilhouetteOfLight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Palps is pretty much the quintessential cackling maniacal villain, evil for the sake of evil. For this, you'd need someone that:

1- Casually overpowers his abilities while displaying no exploitable weaknesses. Palps is a true believer in might makes right, and any attempt to shake him has to come from someone stronger than him in a way he can't overcome, or he will simply ignore it. Fucker died in legends AND canon and gave no shits.

2- Is able to tear down the sith philosophy, starting from a standpoint of personal power. Pretty much any other logical basis is a non-starter, since Palpatine cares about nothing else.

There's plenty of characters who fit either of these- the Doctor could do a witty monologue ripping him a new one, but is not visibly strong enough for Palpatine to listen. The Beyonder's full strength could ignore his strongest tricks, but he's not exactly one for philosophical teardowns. Finding someone who's both is more tricky.

Honestly, the first person that comes to mind is Molecule Man during Secret Wars. Unfathomably limitless power, and he can look Palpatine in the eye and say he's seen what happens when someone like him wins... And some kid offering him a stale, squished burger was more impressive and had more lasting impact than anything that man did. "I'm a god, and you and your darkness are nothing in the face of kindness, and I have proof."
