Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Omega;1071229One thing that kept occurring to me while watching the first episode was that it allmost feels like they wanted to do a live action Futurama. Then changed gears to ST. Got vetoed. And did a merger of concepts.

Seth has said in interviews that they've intentionally been leaning into the "serious" sci-fi angle over the first season, seeing how far they could take it without losing their comedy angle.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

The 2nd season has been kind of lame, until the most recent episode (when the crew go to Isaac's planet) which is probably the best one yet! To be continued..

Big one. My brother and I were talking about it for days afterwards.

Now if they can make that episode the benchmark from here on out. As someone who can't stand what they did to Discovery, I hope the Orville succeeds.

Part 2 of Identity has one of the coolest space battles screened for television. Very well done!


The scene where the shuttle is spinning like a top and the pilots manage to stay in their chairs without even wearing seatbelts, I found to be pretty hilarious. If you want g-force physics realism, watch The Expanse.

I'm actually dissapointed that it was only a two-parter.

Spoiler
Issac's heel turn made sense in that he's a second generation Kaylon, and has a precedent of being affected by his interactions with humanoids in A Happy Refrain. Still, I would have liked to see Issac actually work it out instead of suddenly turning on the other Kaylons.
