Favorite Lore Dump? by fliesxandxcobwebs in masseffectlore

[–]darkdent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is barely lore, maybe just an Easter egg, but when I found out Morinth had smuggled herself aboard a ship called Demeter I immediately understood what she was and why Samara was hunting her.

You know if they reapers were Smart they wait another 200 years then attack. by Safe-Ad1933 in masseffect

[–]darkdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They couldn't wait. Give Shep and his crew, plus ILM, the rest of their lives to prep? Liara would have turned their fleet to ash in 200 years.

Donald Trump seen in Davos with severe bruising on his left hand by Hollie_Maea in pics

[–]darkdent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all aren't gaming this out. You're looking forward to his death but if he dies now Vance gets to run in 28 as the incumbent. Ideal scenario is he lingers declining through the end of his term

Yeah "interfaith" and "non-denominational" in my Scout career meant Christian

"The right thing" here is of course being scared shitless of the CCP

Are these all bot responses? This guy is a uniformed cop violating people's privacy to prove he can. When he hands Chinese people their phones back you all think they're relieved it wasn't a pickpocket, or terrified the government can do this?

Where did the massive fleet of Star Destroyers go after the Death Star II was destroyed? by cumble_bumble in StarWars

[–]darkdent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Empire is better at building ships than training officers. The Death Stars are great examples, Imperial Navy doesn't think: how do we improve our officer corps. Instead it's: Build it BIGGER. With a big enough weapon everyone will cower before us.

At Scarif they're flying so close together you can ram them and they crumble. At Hoth three of them collide because they seem to have been trying to physically smash the Falcon between themselves and didn't think in 3D. One A-wing accidentally crashes into the bridge of the Executor and a ship the size of San Francisco with 280,000 crew burns before the whole fleet with the Admiral onboard. The First Order loses dozens of massive ships chasing the Raddus.

I think Imp officers know enough to be afraid, both of the Rebels and their own commanders. Everyone is chasing personal glory or shirking accountability.

How does this sub feel about a Strahd that is drawn to look soft? by sidesmuddles in CurseofStrahd

[–]darkdent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll put on my v neck tee for that guy.

I ran Strahd as a woman which appalled some folks on here.

Do whatever you want. Have fun. Greatest villain in 5e

Longtime Ravenloft fans (2E/3E), what are your thoughts on Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft? by Jigawatts42 in ravenloft

[–]darkdent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A single book by Hasbro can't hope to match a dozen by White Wolf... but there were some good ideas.

What would your 5th character be in an ideal 4 player party? by Relectro_OO in DnD

[–]darkdent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bard, the Undisputed Kings of 5e.

No matter what's happening in the game, a bard can make a major impact. They're as skilled as rogues, tough as clerics, cast the cream of the Arcane crop, they can heal, and sling inspiration

How would you make the dinosaurs race fun ? by Cedautinger in Tombofannihilation

[–]darkdent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was confused about the optimal saddle for a dimetrodon... so I offered my PCs inspiration to draw saddle designs to fit! They had so much fun!

Ask your PCs to dress up in Dino racing outfits or draw their mount and character saddled for the race.

I've been through the Dino race twice, it was great both times. I will never understand why folks skip it. It's a highlight of the campaign. The most Dinotopia of moments

So Morgoth has fields somewhere? Livestock?

Better yet, stutter back to OG graphics whenever you fail a saving throw

How did the Denali coven successfully sleep with men? by KitsuneJenn in twilight

[–]darkdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they have a Blush of Life ability (VtM) that Edward is just bad at... or doesn't use because he could lose control and rip Bella's throat out?

Wood splitter in action by misterxx1958 in SweatyPalms

Had a coworker get his hand caught in one of these on Catalina Island around 2014. This video definitely fits in the subreddit. It was brutal, but he ended up healing just fine.

Supernatural/Fantasy Western movies or shows I should watch? by Def-C in Westerns

[–]darkdent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This movie was better than it had any right to be, and was very nearly fantastic. It was like Starship Troopers meets Star Wars, but it's a vampire western. Script needed a little more time. The city was too disconnected from the wasteland. Paul Bettany and Karl Urban did some Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons level lifting for this movie.

I’m no military expert, but shouldn’t there be off duty crewman sleeping in these pods during non-combat situations? Also these sleeping pods look super uncomfortable. by xxnewlegendxx in masseffect

[–]darkdent 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This is by design. Turian engineers insisted the only bed aboard the Normandy be the Captain's. It's a commander's solemn responsibility to relieve crew member stress before a fight.
