Another day, another long awkward silence?

better than awkward noises

@AndyD273 that's the core plot of altered carbon

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, I corrected myself just slightly after that

oops

It's ok. GitS does have wandering ghosts IIRC, but body transfer is mostly done by moving a cyberbrain to a new shell. AC is definitely a lot closer to what I was thinking, just took me a few minutes to remember it

Never saw it...worth the watch?

@James its pretty good

so's the book - the series tightens things up a lot

Yeah. They did a pretty good job adapting it.

Mature content warning. There is a 5 minute battle where a cop fights the same naked woman 12 times.

It's a lady cop, so it's not sexist.

also utterly badass.

Her mom's probably the best part of the show ;p

@AndyD273 I'm pretty sure that's not how that works.

@James Who can tell? The rules change from day to day. Does it help if the naked lady is a crazy, evil, criminal mastermind that does sex trafficking?

Also, I guess mature content warning for John Wick levels of violence.

@AndyD273 I think it boils down to is the nakedness relevant to the story or just for the enjoyment of teen-agers?

@James well they're clones

You know what...nevermind. This conversation is not going anywhere good lol

@James Oh, it's probably relevant.

Its relevant

and makes sense considering the setting

It's pretty good. The zero G knife fight was pretty good too

@James Something to add to your christmas wish list:

@NexTerren Yo

They are releasing an Eberron book for 5e. Might be up your alley.

They are introducing an Artificer class, basically a technomancer.

@James Does D&D have technology?

I mean, a water wheel is technology, I guess... But not the kind you can do that much intrestering with

Though I suppose if you made the enemy catapults fall apart and release all the tension, injuring or killing the crew, that could be interesting

@AndyD273 It's pretty limited to medieval level tech though there are a smattering of random items in the core system.

Eberron on the other hand has trains and automatons. I haven't played Eberron before but I think it has a steampunk feel, a fusion of tech and magic

Interesting

So working my way through The Boys, and while it's not bad, it mostly makes me want a good adaptation of Steelheart...

@AndyD273 Try D&D Ultramodern

@James Sadly I only have time for one tabletop, and it isn't 5e...
