Well, for one, you can play one of the fourteen Doctors if you wish, or you could play another Time Lord of your own making, among other choices.  You even get to make your own TARDIS.

 

So you play with multiple time lords?

Anyone downloaded this and verified it is safe?  That isn't the sort of link I click on. 

[So... Loki. Anyone?]

for people who don't know, Loki and the other comic book shows and movies are discussed on https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/68-comic-hero-villain-culture/

[Doctor Who RPG 2E Announced]

Dr Who doesn't strike me as a good subject for an RPG.  The Dr is so much more knowledgeable and powerful than the companions.  How do they make the game work so it isn't just the Dr doing everything?

[Random discussion of a D&D one-shot I'm prepping for.]

an entrenching tool would probably work better as pick or axe than warhammer, but given 5e weapon stats it makes no real difference.

 

the calculations would be better as a battlemaster fighter though

 

or a kensai monk

[Determining if the Game is Too Easy]

The game is too easy if people are not almost getting defeated every other spawn.  And someone gets defeated every mission. 

[What are your expectations for the Loki series?]

I think the clear answer to who is behind the TVA

 

Spoiler

Sharon Carter - the Power Broker.  It will be a very surprising twist.

 

[Sonic notes]

A dark/sonic defender is amazing.  You have the control that dark/ gives, plus healing and debuffs.  Then sonic gives you great single target damage (including the -res).

 

With the -regen in dark and the -res in sonic you are fantastic at taking out AVs and GMs.

[What are your expectations for the Loki series?]

Right, but Thanos just appeared in teasers.  They did not confront him in Avengers or GotG or the other movies he appeared.

 

Loki would be lame if they revealed who was behind the TVA and then  did not resolve the storyline.

Crazy thought:

  Hide contents

 Might it be possible that the original is actually Franklin Richards, THE Franklin Richards

 

 

Spoiler

Very unlikely.  To the normal person Franklin Richards is unknown.  It would not be a big reveal.  Kang would not be a big reveal to the general public.

 

Actually, thinking about how Thanos played out, it seems more likely that they would just tease Kang in this and not have him be a player at all.  Someone working for Kang would be the player.  Which makes me think the judge might be running the TVA and Kang would just be teased.

 

[What are your expectations for the Loki series?]

Spoiler

I assume Kang but would like it to be Rama Tut.  There was some Egyptian looking stuff that made me think it might be that version.

 

I also assume that there is at least one more Mobius working for the TVA.  The one that made the rings on the table.

 Maltese Falcon was another like that.  I thought for sure that would be fantastic, and I ended up feeling bored, and like the movie was lacking something.

 

Whereas the Thin Man movies hold up very well

[Recently lost a beloved pet, anyone go through this, and can offer advice?]

We had 3 cats for years and lost them in 6 months.

 

Aly was very old and got thin and did not drink water.  We kept her alive for a few months by giving her water injections.  She spent all of that time just hiding in our closet.  We finally realized we should stop keeping her alive and took her to the vet to be put down.  We regret keeping her alive for so long when she had no quality of life left.

 

Felicity was about 2 years younger than Aly.  A few months after Aly died, Felicity was diagnosed with cancer.   We had her put down.

 

Zhivago was much  younger.  He had developed weird sores every year or so that needed surgery to fix.  It was some chronic disease.  A few months after Felicity died, Zhivago disappeared.  He could go outdoors and just went out and did not return.  We looked for him for weeks.  We believe his disease just got bad and he went off to die.

 

I miss Aly the most.  She was my cat.  She slept on my pillow with her forehead pressed against my forehead. 

 

My daughter misses Zhivago the most.  He was her cat. 

 

The biggest pain is not knowing what happened to Zhivago.  Being with Aly and Felicity at the end meant a lot.  We had no closure with Zhivago.

 

As a weird thing, we have a Wii we used.  In one Wii exercise game we had created the cats as characters who could show up in the neighborhood.  So we would see the cats sometimes on the Wii.

 

I have no good advice except that closure really helped.  Saying goodbye really helped.  But it took a long time to stop thinking I was going to see Aly when I went into a room.

 

 

[What are your expectations for the Loki series?]

I enjoyed episode 3, it was entertaining and reasonably fast paced.  But when it ended I felt like very little had happened and was surprised it was over.

 

So I don't know if that is because it is so good the time flew by or because very little of substance actually happened.

[Happy Not-the-Mama Day!]

[what happened to the price of large inspirations?]

The market never made sense.  Large reds would go for 50k some days and 10k other days.  You could buy 3 yellows for 2k and then combine them and sell them as a red for 50k.

 

But prices seems to have just crashed in the past month and now all of the large inspirations seem to be 500 to 2k in price.

 

Did something better come out that caused large inspirations to lose their value?

[Online D&D via Tabletop Simulator.]

I just finished up my online Wed D&D using Zoom.  It is not the best for it.

 

 

[What would you like to see in a Goldside rework?]

[Starlink]

Starlink is set up in low Earth orbit so its speed is fine.  Normal communication satelites are much, much further away.

[Villainous lowbie arc [41018] LF feedback]

I ran this with a lvl 19 rad/dark tanker at +0/x1.  I had no trouble with the difficulty.  I played it without solo bosses.

 

I liked the arc.  The missions were uneven with a variety of villain groups, so each felt fairly different.  Each felt like its own story and not just another excuse to beat up enemies.

 

A lot of text in the opening mission intro, but it spelled out clearly what was going on.  And then the amount text varied, so it felt right.

 

The 3rd mission was great, very different feel to it.

 

I would have liked more details in some of the missions.  There were a lot of standard spawns of foes to grind through.  A few bosses that talked or other things to break it up would have been nice.

 

I would have also liked more variety of villains in the missions.  Through in some regular paragon police, or mooks, or whatever.  While between missions there was diversity, within a mission it tended to just be the same fight over and over again.

[What are your expectations for the Loki series?]

That was a good video.  I learned a lot.  I am eager for Kang to show up in the MCU.
