If I'm on the kingdom map and turn on location names, my FPS goes from 60+ to 20... What the hell? :/ If you are even remotely attentive during meets it is inevitable that you will learn almost all relevant stats, weaknesses and strengths of almost all monsters and adversaries in the game. Without writing them down. We always played under the idea that you and your character couldn't act on information about the game mechanics and rules, only things that made sense in-game for the knowledge of a character. So a monster might be "strong", not "19 STR". And you could remember a monsters weakness to fire or frost, etc. from experience. Or that slashing was more effective than piercing (but numbers wouldn't be involved). That said everyone plays the games differently and the beauty of pen and paper is there is really no wrong way to play as long as everyone in the group is enjoying the game.

Yes I was blocking Sybok from my memory. Although he doesn't disprove the beards are evil theory.

I would be really surprised if they continued the story from a 20 year old game. There is an entire new generation of players now and they will want to appeal to them. I'm not even sure where they could go with the Bhaalspawn at this point that wouldn't be a narrative railroad ignoring most/all the ends of the game.

I guess we can hope WotC/Hasbro decides to not armchair quarterback their pick for a developer for BG3 (assuming its real, I took the reported tweet as a joke when I first read it).

The Vulcan's realized early on that facial hair was a gateway drug to being evil. Or a hipster. Possibly both at the same time. Clearly this new Spock violates accepted cannon and is evil or a hipster!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111onetwodooby-doo Do I need to point out the intended jokiness of this?

Please use the existing thread in the correct forum.

Let's not have an intervention and say we did. Actually, lets not direct posts at other users at all, and then I won't have to close threads. Like I just did this one.

You're probably aware of this, bu THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE is based on a 1962 novel.

Yes, certainly its on the low end of the MCU as a whole in terms of box-office.

Ant-Man and the Wasp made more a little more money theatrically than Ant-Man ($216,154,693 domestic/ $621,401,629 worldwide vs $180,202,163 / $519,311,965) so I'm not sure it'd be considered not so successful. Seems like the sequel had roughly the same level of interest from viewers as the original. I would agree that from the perspective of the narrative, they didn't juggle the characters as well as in the first film. However there were a lot more characters fighting for screen time (all of the original cast + more Wasp because she's a bigger player + more Luis because people liked him first time around + Janet + Ghost + Goliath + the tech thieves double crossing the Pyms + the SHIELD agents/Jimmy Woo)

I've never been a big fan of the epistolary format of Dracula. It feels like you're distanced from the proceedings so while it can be creepy, it's not really goosebumps hearing-sounds-at-night paranoia inducing. RE: Stephen King, I think Needful Things was the last book I read from Stephen King - and I did enjoy it. Most of his plot hooks after this period didn't hook me enough to pick up the book so I can't say if they are good or bad, but there are a few I'll eventually read (Desperation/Regulators and Dr. Sleep for example). Mind you a lot of his work seemed to get lost in the Dark Tower, the first book of which I found unreadable.

That might help on interstates, but when you get into city traffic - well you've still got distracted pedestrians and cyclists for your computer to deal with.

The push for education started in the US post-WWII. With GI's returning and women not leaving the workforce because they'd shown they could succeed in the job market of the time, companies and government worked to forestall a huge unemployment number for the GIs by encouraging high school students to complete their high school diploma rather than drop out of school at 16 and join the job market. The problem is, once you establish education as an arbitrary gate-keeper to employment, its relatively easy to lower the candidate pools by increasing the educational criteria needed to hold the job. And while some jobs really can use the extra education because of their highly specific nature, that doesn't follow for all the jobs that hold a higher education requirement. Further the push for students in higher education has been to the detriment of the trade schools, which really are a viable alternative (and the skilled trades have a deficit of people going into them).

I've tried reading DUNE at least a half-dozen times but have never managed to get more than a third into the first book.

Talk about the ideas, concepts and issues - not each other. Thanks.

I saw the first Jurassic Park multiple times at the theater. The last time I saw it, I'd mistimed the end of the movie so bad I had to run a mile and a half so as to not miss my last chance to get a ride home (instead of the leisurely walk I'd planned). Good times, good times.

Since this thread seems to have turned to a general RPG discussion rather than discussing Kingmaker and Deadfire, I'm closing this thread in favor of the existing thread in the appropriate forum - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/104002-pathfinder-kingmaker-is-bigger-then-deadfire/

I know there is an in game encyclopedia, but I can't seem to find if there's a manual somewhere (I don't have the game yet to say).

I've read Jurassic Park a few times, and seen all the movies a bunch and I just re-read Jurassic Park right after Jurassic World came out. The dinosaurs in Costa Rica in the opening always stuck with me, though, since its a big difference between the two and actually implies a lot about what you'll find out in the novel, IMO.

The Compys that were only there in the novel? I don't recall that subplot making it off the page. My memory mixed the book and Lost World Jurassic Park. Opening of LW has the girl attacked by Compys, but that's apparently on Isla Sorna and not on the Costa Rica coast like it is in the book.

It came up twice here on the forum (at least), however it seems plans at the time was for a STEAM installer disc: Hey Karupt, I am not quite sure what you are referring to. As for when you can the badge, we're working on it as being part of our backer portal, and we'll hopefully have news soon about when it'll launch. Hi Merany! Sorry for the confusion about the wording of the Physical Box Tier. We're going to get that corrected. What it should say is that you will not get an additional digital key. When the game launches, you will also receive an email with the same digital key that will be in the physical box. So you won't have to wait until your package arrives to start playing. As AndreaColombo has pointed out, maintaining patches for dvd backers was a real struggle for us. In the past, we were not able to release a installer patch in a timely manner and it would cause a disconnect between physical and digital users. The reason why the disc comes with a Steam installer is that our primary focus now is to get future content, features, and bug fixes to all users in a timely manner. There's a hotly debated bit in the FIG campaign in update #1 where they have a Q&A answer that might also (but not definitively) refer to the change: Q: I want the boxed edition, but have no intention of touching the disc inside it (nor do I own a device that can read a disc of any type). How can I play the game if I purchase the physical box? A: Purchasers of the box copy will receive their digital code both in the box and via email on release day (same code, you won't get two different codes). You will not have to open the box at all, if you don't want to. Personally I'd encourage those who feel unhappy to reach out through the customer support page/email in addition to posts here (if everyone isn't doing that already).
