I'm saying that, while a DM has fiat to nix anything they want, in this particular case, they can point to the book and say, "This isn't part of the base game and we're not using it." and come at it from a position that is harder to argue against.

PHB page 163, Chapter 6: Customization Options - "This chapter defines two optional sets of rules for customizing your character: multiclassing and feats... Your DM decides whether these options are available in a campaign." Multiclassing and feats are variant rules and not a part of vanilla...

The solution to this is that feats and multiclassing are not in the base game; they are variant rules that the DM must first allow.

I hope they don't show Kurt Russle's character in any trailers. Don't want his appearance spoiled for me.

The preview gif makes me want a new Star Control game so bad. Fingers crossed stardock gets it right.

I'm wonder if it features an impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes.

Why aren't people looking at this and saying, "Hey, these things follow the laws exactly and it's causing problems. The laws seem to actually be pretty bad; maybe we should do some revision." or maybe, "Wow, it looks like a majority of people are breaking the law. Maybe we should be more...

Because I'm gifted with the power of hindsight, I can already read the Kotaku article coming a couple months after release: "Microtransactions Coming To Garden Warfare Star Wars: Battlefront This Week. Thank Goodness." They're gonna release the game designed around micro-transactions but...

I will agree with all the games listed above and add The Fall for some adventure game love. The game plays very much like the old Flashback or Out of the World/Another World games.

No One Lives Forever is fantastic and still holds up in my opinion based on the dialogue alone. However, the reason you can't find it on GOG or Steam is this: Monolith Productions says that the rights to NOLF belong to Fox Interactive and Fox Interactive says that the rights to NOLF belong to...

The biggest problem I've had with the current depiction of feathered dinosaurs is how they (as depicted in your clips) always seem to be shown with horrible garish colors. What predator becomes successful being that flamboyant? I can't think of any; and the birds that they take after all share...

Thanks for that; I suppose entangling the qubits would act as a kind of correction so long as the noise doesn't propagate through the entangled pairs. I've also read that a group has been able to use the principles of quantum tunneling to determine the spin of a particle without actually...

The ENIAC was a calculator too. I don't. Think anyone would argue that it wasn't a computer too.

This isn't exactly accurate; A qubit is more efficient in larger calculations, but less efficient with smaller calculations. Quantum computers will never replace standard computers for the consumer. Modeling weather or running the algorithms that run a countries economy would be much easier on a...

Unless I'm mistaken, no one has yet to solve the no cloning rule which basically makes quantum computing impossible. To elaborate: In a computer, you have a binary or base 2 counting system represented in bits. These bit are 1 or 0, on or off. In a quantum computer, bits are replaced with...
