/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I miss Tabletop. Other similar shows never quite captured the same energy for me.
Most of the other shows are just explanations of how to play a game. Tabletop felt like friends hanging out to play them. It's the same thing that makes a good D&D show. We want to be a part of something if it actually looks like they're friends hanging out and having fun.
If either you or @zagorath aren't aware of it, Dimension 20 is an amazing table top series that is absolutely a bunch of friends sitting around playing D&D. I've been hooked the last 6-8 months as we work through the series.
I'm aware of Dimension 20, though as far as Dropout productions go I'm much more a fan of Um, Actually. Wil Wheaton's Tabletop was actually not an RPG actual-play, it was a board game show. A very different genre of show.
I'm aware of them. I've been listening to Tabletop Gold recently, which is only audio but it's good. It's Pathfinder 2E, which I hope we see a lot more of. Everyone knows of D&D, but P2e is the better system.
Yeah same here, such an amazing show.
Forbidden Desert with Alan Tudyk was a personal favourite of mine. "Why can't we just go where we're bidden?"
I think one of my favs would have been Fury of Dracula, with Grant Imahara. That highly asymmetric game design is fascinating to me, and add in Grant Imahara's presence? Yes please!
I also loved Dread, which is just such a fantastic and clever bit of game design, with a really strong sense of ludonarrative consonance.
I can't recommend No Rolls Barred enough. Their chaotic energy is a delight every week.
Got a good name, too!
