Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.

This almost sounds like this war has drained out the military capacity of Russia and most of Europe. That's, not a good thing. I don't know, it doesn't seem that terrible that no one seems to have enough weapons to casually kill millions of people. Both sides having to stop due to running out of su...

Re: King Charles diagnosed with cancer and will take step back from official duties

This would probably be a very good time for someone in government to ascertain whether or not William actually wants to take over the family business, and give some thought to what to do if he doesn't. I suspect that discussion was made around about the time the queen died if not further, given his...

Re: THE OotS Thread, Part V

A dragon also seems anti climatic really it doesn't even look all that big to me.

Not all that powerful a magic circle to keep it in either if it could just cast dominate monster or similar across it.

I do feel they're sort of treading water at the moment, maybe all the set up will be useful but I think we need to get along to the presumably final confrontation soon.

Re: Wagner Thread (Was Russian Coup Thread)

There's also the matter that having Prigozhin arrested or shot seems like a direct link to Putin, while with a bomb it's probably easier to list the people who didn't want Prigozhin dead and have access to explosives then to list those that did want him dead (and have access to explosives). This is...

The last place anyone would expect a gate is right next to another gate? Not sure if I buy that. Or does it mean that the first gate they destroyed was actually Serini's gate and the real first one is still out there somewhere?

Either that, or they don't know what the fuck they want to do with him yet. Or they haven't found him yet, or he stepped on a mine or fell off a cliff or something. He' s only believed to be in custody and I don't see anything which says why this is believed just that he crossed the border and hasn...

Re: D&D: Honor Among Thieves

I felt that Doric get let down a bit when it came to character development and background, she had a number of fun action sequences but tended to be just following around in the background for the middle half of the movie. Not really a complaint, there is a limited amount that you can do in the dura...

Not as dangerous *IF* they've had their shots, but still a massive drain on resources. Which they probably haven't. Did Russia even have an anti-COVID policy? Because from what little I've heard it seems like they did not. They created their own vaccine Sputnik 5 and started to roll it out from Dec...

Close to how I would have done it. I'd have them in a specific order you have to do them, with clues to figure out that order. The final order before the final dungeon is also a speed run. Final dungeon is magic-dead, and full of psionic creatures who's powers are unaffected. The goal is to defend ...

Yeah, the sad thing is that we're probably going to have a world filled to the gills with WMDs because this war shows that only WMD capability (particularly nuclear) is the only thing guarding your sovereignty.

I wouldn't be too surprised if there wasn't some catch that the stock couldn't be sold for x length of time and may even be lost if they leave within y time period. It's a way try and retain the staff and try to get them to work harder.
