Turns out, no, you can't do that. Parallel photons don't gravitationally interact. If they did (eventually converging or whatever) you would have a way to differentiate between different inertial reference frames.. so this is not just an unlucky dead end, but a truth deeply connected to relativity.

As a new Infinity N5 player with mostly shoot 'em up experience, these tournament missions are pretty intimidating. Cook a three-course meal in the middle of the board while under fire. Oh, and the store is ringed by enemy mines and snipers, and you're all out of onions. You have 13 minutes.

Cursed thought, midichlorians produce the spice melange.

what a wonderful and fascinating thread

Please maintain physical distance, I'm not ready for the collapse of all reality into a single point.

Building an army in Infinity N5 is riddled with painful trade-offs. The way models can use each other's actions means that a primary attack piece can be multiplied in potential by a back row of cheap ones. Stuffing a list with all-stars is surprisingly inefficient!

We're re-watching Heroes, and .. imagine a funnel, everybody gets four newbie supers each, and a masked/anonymous Sylar tears through them, getting them one by one. Whichever ones he gets determine his powers in the rest of the campaign as the survivors go up against him.

As soon as I read Infinity N5 I wanted to adapt Battletech to it, but now that I've played I think it would be a better fit for Transformers. Theming models in camo as transformed into vehicle mode seems such a natural fit.

The vault has split open once more: Trilemma Adventures compendium is the DriveThruRPG deal of the day!

Something unexpectedly intimate about stripping paint from a second hand miniature. The daubs of color floating off like dead skin in the isopropyl alcohol, the apparently enamel primer turning to grease, staining my fingers as I visit each of their decisions in reverse, unraveling it, art melting.

Against my better judgement and on something of a dare, I ran a fantasy adventure 3-shot for visiting friends last week. Is fantasy adventure Good, Actually now? Read on! My new favorite frankengame from two of my favorite creators: @fuseboy.bsky.social and @gruefodder.bsky.social .

Oak & Iron ships of the line, beefing out my little Spanish squadron to nine boats in all. The OSL on these looks comical under the bright lights of my painting desk, but I'm very happy with how the photos came out.

Carbon, under incredible heat and pressure, can form diamonds. What happens if you do the same for charisma?

Bzaapp! The pile of shame shrinks by about half a pound. Man this thing is top heavy!

You are on a self-sustaining airship, last of its kind, circling the world on solar power. Systems are failing and the ship will ground itself in the collapsed, uninhabitable surface below in three years. Your childhood friend is aboard, their birthday is next week. What do you get them?

I got some fluorescent paints to do OSL on miniatures, but I was struggling with blue. Why so dingy and flat? I'm laughing after watching a Vince Venturella video on fluo paints. "They're great," he says, "except blue," and he literally flicks it off his desk and doesn't mention it again.

You didn't ask, but my favorite simple way to handle a PC attempting to persuade an NPC is to: 1. Hear what the PC says 2. Decide what the most and least favorable reactions the NPC might have to that 3. Let the PC's skill check decide between those.

My ENnie-award winning book of illustrated fantasy adventures is being released in German as a deluxe boxed set! Pre-orders have discounted shipping, and are available until April 5. After that I think you have to fight Unclideon to get a copy.

"Nearly done these ships, I should look up where the flags go." <twenty minutes later> "Okay, nevermind. How about 'the top'. That should be fine."

Did you miss this the first time? Only $9 for a precious few more hours.

10 The Cuirass of the Forlorn protects against a wounded heart

05: a piece of paper appears to all as a sack of gold

06: a horse that can do math by stamping his hoof so long as his owner is standing right next to him.

07: A pair of small lenses that, when affixed to the nose, transform blurry, unreadable glyphs into perfectly legible writing

08 a shrill flute that that repels nearby mice, other rodents, and small children when played, instead of summoning them

03: The emperor's clothes are BEAUTIFUL but are visible only to those with pure hearts.

04: The fancy boots are just that. The cat’s a shapeshifter. (Am I doing it right?)
