You’re not wrong, and I get that’s what he was saying. It’s just tone-deaf is all. Or maybe I just read too much into it.

If all you’re seeing is skin color you are in the wrong starfleet.

I only roll for stats. Point buy is boring and un fun

Ah! I see what you’re saying now! Sorry about that, but I gotcha now. Yes, I believe the order of mention is point buy > preset > rolling. That said, I think it mentions the first two as sort of equal options and then rolling, but I can’t be sure. I haven’t had to look at that part of the book in quite a while.

Every table is different.  No matter how much I lobby for point buy I can’t get my players to stop rolling.  They just want the thrill, apparently.

I honestly didn’t intend for that comment to turn into this.

Alex. You lose one hour *once* Just once. And everyone born after spring 2019 will NEVER lose it again. And fuck, it won’t be dark when you go home after 5 pm there come the deepest middle of winter. Isn’t that worth one last hour of your life? To not have that flip-flop is worth it, in spades.

Wow, now if only we got this information where it counted: in the movies. If only there was some kind of text at the beginning of Force Awakens, where you could lay the groundwork for world building. Perhaps something high contrast, like yellow on black. And you could make these words scroll, so you can fit more…

I’m pretty sure you just found Io9's new tag line. Take your damn star!

Next thing Charles writes, let’s get together and find ways to “find” it antisemitic and anti-Hispanic.

Following the twist, their rivalry morphs into a story about a white woman seeking to unseat a multiracial, black woman from her social station—specifically by exposing the truth about her heritage. The term “half-breed” should be seen as quite loaded in this context.

This technology is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.

It wsn’t Ron’s decision, it was Lord and Miller’s decision to bring in Bradford Young as the DP. That dude love’s his shadows even if many theaters can’t show any of the shadow detail he thinks he is capturing. And once you underexpose, post processing can’t do much about it. I’m sure the set designer, make-up, and…

This is my biggest complaint of the movie. The cinematographer said that it’s so dark because “we live in such dark times”. Sorry, today is NOT darker than 1977.

All told- Solo was a decent movie. Better than some SW movies/worse than others.

I agree with all of this except the “move forward chronologically” part. R1's financial success high praise from fans clearly shows that audiences can handle prequel/sidequel/interquel stories as part of the anthology films.

One SW movie a year is totally doable. What needs to stop is constantly going back to the nostalgic well.

Hard to tell as it’s out of focus, but the car in image 4 looks like a Honda Element to me. 

I found image 4 very blurry. I can imagine the leftmost car to be age appropriate, but the rightmost...I have my doubts. From Beth’s other article, a commenter examined all of the cars shown in the teaser and suggested that they were all from the late 60s to early 70s. If I could read the year date on the calendar…

I’m pretty sure it’s not present day.  The cars in the trailer are all old, not sure exactly what years.
