I prefer the Vibes-Based Magic SystemTM, where you grip it rip it and and tolerate a little ok a decent amount of variance in order to speed things along and avoid anything resembling powegaming.
Oh your fancy spell isn’t working exactly as you intended 100% of the time? Guess magic is mystical and imprecise and ultimately subject to the whims of indifferent gods
Or they pad it with a ton of absolute garbage
Yeah, it kind of makes sense if magic is rare, difficult to obtain, but not entirely foreign. Basically a luxury good.
To use an example luxury good, we all know what a private jet is. We couldn’t build one or buy one, but we know there are people who can. It’d be cool to be in one but not some unimaginable experience.
for leaving reddit pedantry behind.
Man I wish I had the time (slash the control of my time) to play D&D again. I was on a 5e campaign and I just couldn’t keep up with it due to work. 3e sounds even better but even more time consuming haha
I’ve seen someone play a build that was always at negative HP, with a limit of something like -300 before dying, and got bonuses for being in the negatives.
Lmao that’s fucking wild
and Double Dumbass on you
Ha I forgot about that part. Makes sense to view those movies as a trilogy, too.
That’s a pretty good reason. You like the plot, the casting, the production…?
My theory – based on us seeing numerous violations of the Prime Directive from main characters – is that the interpretation of the rule is “you better be willing to risk your career if you break this,” not “your career is 100% over if you break this.”
It’s a heuristic, and a good one, but there seems to be in-universe exceptions for exceptional cases.
This is why, despite Picard’s moral objections to having pets, he doesn’t dare broach the subject of Spot with Data.
Beyond
Gotta ask why this is #1
It’s got Kirk and Picard, which is a movie that should exist even if the execution wasn’t ideal.
Generations above First Contact is a hot take, too
limiting yourself to memes in the post
firing off memes in the comments, too
It’s so good people have it for dinner
