  1. D. C. Fontana writer and story editor for a number of television shows over the years, but maybe best remembered for her work for Star Trek over the Original, Animated and Next Generation shows. I just finished watching THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY series she was story editor for.
  2. Previous thread: Last post: Also, Adam Sandler’s ‘Uncut Gems’ Re-Classified as Drama for Golden Globes. Guess someone got wise after THE MARTIAN was up for best Musical or Comedy.
  3. Most likely unless you're contracted as work-for-hire or an actual employee, anything creative sent Obsidian's way on spec is roundfiled before it could get to anyone who actually works on a game.
  4. This forum is for all Pen&Paper games, including Pillars of Eternity's P&P. I've added Pillars to the thread title to make it clearer.

  6. Which game rules are you referring to? 2d10 is not the same as 1d20; the obvious difference is that the minimum roll on 2d10 is 2, while the minimum on 1d20 is 1. There are other differences in the probability of other specific rolls as well.

  8. Thread locked. Already a thread on this subject if anyone wants to seriously discuss length. ,
  9. Sumo November tournament - https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/tournament/201911/live_6.html
  10. I re-watched it a couple of months ago. Still remember seeing it in theaters the first time. It's a really rewatchable film. RIP Julius Carry, Vanity/Denise Matthews and Leo O'Brien
  11. I would have taken off if I could. Going in sick is good for nobody, really. I *hate* going in sick and would only do it if there was no other alternative.
  12. Last week I got the flu*. Felt miserable all last week, but also couldn't take time from work (already short two people). Felt better over the weekend. Unfortunately feeling better meant I could now fully appreciate how awful I felt. Yay? *not a scientific diagnosis
  13. The moble version seems to not format correctly for me suddenly. Anyone else experience this?
  14. I just wanted to address the idea that Avellone wasn't 'well known' or used as a 'draw' for the first game. My thoughts on Deadfire's performance is that a multitude of factors probably played into it. The biggest factor though was that it was a known quantity 2nd time around, for both good and bad. It couldn't be all things to all people anymore.
  15. FWIW, If you look at the Kickstarter it promotes Avellone, Sawyer and Cain - "Obsidian Entertainment and our legendary game designers Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, and Josh Sawyer are excited to bring you a new role-playing game for the PC. Project Eternity (working title) pays homage to the great Infinity Engine games of years past: Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment." Its pretty clear that Obsidian felt that these three developers had name recognition amid the people who were going to pledge for the game to be made.
  16. I'm sure they wouldn't do it if the vast majority of players wouldn't go along with it. That said...
