Agree 100%

I agree with that. Looking through, I find understanding the basic rules to be kind of a burden. It took me a while to realize that “Operations” is the rules section.

I think it makes sense to show players the character sheet early, because that’s the nexus through which they really experience the game. I like the demo scene towards the beginning, but I think a quickstart guide to explain basic rules to the players very, VERY clearly is usually a good idea.

Still, I’m continuously impressed at how well this adapts Star Trek to an RPG. I was initially skeptical that an RPG could take all the nonsense we see in decades of different shows and create a cohesive basis for all of it, but this is really impressive. I’d have to play to see if the rules feel balanced and natural, but at a glance, they make far more sense than plenty of other RPGs I’ve seen. I think this looks like a really fun game.

I spent a while reading through this, and I gotta say that this is a really good RPG book. It’s very thorough, it’s well written for suggesting ways to play, it’s attractively formatted. This is a cool book.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up!

I’m excited to check this out.

This is awesome!

I know it’s natural that your eye can’t help but pick up defects, but overall it looks great, and each project looks a bit better.

That makes no sense. Is it still in production? It’s it the only one in Netflix?

It’s on Netflix? I thought Paramount only put Star Trek shows on Paramount Plus?

I don’t get any of this. It’s this a music lyric?

I came here to post this. I remember someone insisting it was like casting Gary Coleman as Two-Face.

Although the response wasn’t as strong, there were fans who were also convinced that Robert Downey Jr. was a poor fit for Tony Stark.

Didn’t he like help get their movie into production or something? I seem to recall that he was a huge fan, and really used his influence to help them before it became the sensation that it became…

To add to this, famous actors are media consumers themselves. They may choose to go on a show because they’re fans of the show and/or the cameo sounds like a fun time. Futurama cameos are particularly fascinating, because they allow actors to play themselves in a very surreal context, and if celebrities have a friend who tells them that the behind-the-scenes atmosphere is a lot of fun, that can be enough.

Just as an example, if you’re not aware, Danny DeVito produced, directed, and starred in Matilda pretty much because he wanted to adapt a book his daughters liked.

You might as well tell me to whittle this out of birch and paint it.

I didn’t get into this hobby to do things like “swapping filaments”. 🤮 (kidding)

Wow. I admit: multicolor prints kind of make me angry with some kind of irrational insecure jealousy.

The funny part is that I don’t really ever find myself wanting multi-color prints, I just hate that they look so good and I can’t do them.

But these are admittedly cool.

…

…

WTF.

…

What the actual fuck. Christ.

Edit: someone shared a post where the creator was like, “My bad, that’s fucked up”, and that’s good enough for me.

THANK YOU.

The joke about red shirts makes no effing sense any more. It hasn’t made sense in over thirty years. I’ve never watched TOS, I started with TNG a couple of years ago, and I remember thinking during the first season (as a new arrival to the fandom giving it an overdue watch) that the jokes I’d always heard about red shirts were confusing, because random deaths were not that common on the show. People died occasionally, but the trope of unnamed crew members being killed unceremoniously to convey stakes did not appear in TNG, and I couldn’t help but notice that captain Picard himself was wearing this supposedly cursed color.

It makes me so frustrated to see this lazy, lazy, lazy zombie joke that just won’t go away.

Let me help you out: Boimler is a Feliz, and Mariner is an Oscar.

Now can someone explain all four LD characters based on their M* A* S* H counterparts? I want to make the joke but I’m literally not old enough to.

Wow, thanks!

Geez, go watch lower decks.

Hey! You were at Open Sauce!

Did you stop by the Hextraction booth?

I don’t think this article justifies it’s central premise that anyone thinks Star Trek wasn’t always “woke”.
