We don't actually get a reliable confirmation of Ned's death in the books either, funnily enough. It's from Arya's pov but she is far away and can't make our the faces, and when Sansa sees his head she says it's so covered in pitch she can't recognise it

What would you suggest to better "buff" a dwarf to make it more fun and balanced? Waive armour weight entirely? Or just a whole redo of the advancements?

At that point you're basically just reinventing Dragonbane (not that that's a bad thing!)

I think it's okay if the crit fumble isn't too absurd. "5% chance to literally kill yourself" is a bit ridiculous. But "you lose your grip and have to pick up your weapon again", or "the equipment is damaged, and isn't usable until you patch it up during a long rest", or "you are exposed and the enemy makes a move to take control of the situation" etc

Definitely an error. Doc Ock's time is not valuable.

Do we want that many people actually honking while overtaking?

I think you've missing the subtext - "I was 14 and knew I was better than everyone" is exactly your point, they're admitting they used to be a bit arrogant and immature

I had thought this was obvious, but now I'm realising from this thread that if you genuinely speak zero French, maybe it's really not clear at all. He is definitely speaking random French phrases, and sounds like someone who did like one year of French in high school

I think it comes from only have a superficial understanding of superhero stories. If you just are vaguely aware of Superman, you might think "Superman is all about Truth, Justice, and the American Way, and is just a cheesy indestructible boy scout right? Wouldn't it be fun and cool and interesting to change up that formula a bit?". But if you've actually been reading comics, you'll find that dozens of writers have thought the same thing over several decades, to the point where "evil/flawed superman" is now more of a cliché than "good superman" was.

Other ones include Irredeemable, some versions of Hyperion (particularly in Exiles), New 52 Ultraman, the Sentry (more as a flawed tragic Superman than an evil one) etc

He wasn't a very good lawyer

I think that's sort of the idea though right? Like it's sort of an idealised version of how Banner might picture himself as a hero

The Peter David era is one of the Hulk pillars, worth checking out - not all of it aged super well though of course, so mileage may vary

It's something that's often more thought of as campaign design rather than system design. A West Marches campaign can work like this, or anything with a persistent "world", particularly across multiple parties and campaigns.

Yep! From the very first issue

I found it amazing in Halo CE. I had invited one of my friends over to play co-op, and we played through a couple of levels, having no idea that the Flood existed. We got to 343 Guilty Spark and suddenly the atmosphere totally changed, and we were lurking through a swamp with shotguns, and things started coming out of the wall. It was a time when it was still unusual for a game to introduce a twist halfway through, and having an entirely new faction of enemies that weren't even on the box art was a huge surprise.

The funny thing is I moved to Canada and it actually works that way here
