There's a difference between a piece of art made by someone with shitty views and a piece of art that contains those shitty views. The Usual Suspects doesn't contain sexually harassment of underage boys, and if it did, its quality would suffer. I don't like a lot of Stallone movies because the conta...

Probably, but I'm not a physicist so I can't say for sure. The concerns raised in the xkcd are still an issue, as you are so far past the speed of sound that unless you are in a hard vacuum, your projectile will be destroyed by the stress and its energy will start to diffuse. Lasers will probably wo...

A coil gun is a projectile weapon system that accelerates a projectile via magnetism inside the barrel rather than a chemical reaction. So similar to the function of a firearm. Alright correct me if I'm mathing wrong. But. 299,792,458*(4.02/4127.69)=291951.877921 E=.5(4127.69)(85235899021.6) E=175,...

Well, this is conservation of momentum. Now, relativistic speeds mean that the mass of the projectile will increase as it accelerates in some nasty bit of calculus. Without that, the gun would have the same momentum in recoil as the projectile, and would travel at (speed of the projectile) * (mass o...

Death Curse creating Dread Wraiths is a problem. If it's just the party, they can probably stop anyone from dying, but if they kill it in a town, it's going to infect dozens of people and turn some number of them into monster with a CR 3 higher than the Culler itself. Its stats are a little low for ...

Huh, I was just futzing around with an alchemist who made 2k worth of alchemical items a day. On the other hand, that was level 15, so no one cares. I had stacked modifiers to get 280x craft speed on top of a +60 mod. The fact that a +60 mod earns you only 45gp per day is silly. Nice to know that m...

While we are talking about theoretical game mechanics, I just had a thought on how to do aid another. The current system works well for groups of one expert and many dabblers, but fails when there are multiple characters of similar proficiency, because it is usually better for each to roll separatel...

So, a friend asked me to join a short 5e campaign this summer. Probably 2-6th level. I've never played 5e, what are some interesting builds at that level? So in seriousness, what are you trying to do? Generally, characters aren't that interesting, so you could literally just throw darts and get you...

One of the criminal associations is approaching a leadership crisis. The current leader is not truly strong enough to hold his position. Perhaps he was propped up by a powerful backer who just died. Perhaps he has weakened recently due to age, illness, or injury. Regardless, normally he would be gon...
