Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
Semantically, isn't it usually "Unidentified"? Might be different in different parts of the world, admittedly. But, the point still stands. One just needs to not know exactly what one's looking at for it to be a UFO. Heck, superman's a UFO for the "Is it a bird, is it a plane?" lines.

Still got it
It is a mystery.
It is important to my very existence that everyone believes implicitly that The Undertaker really is the grim reaper personified in the body of an ancient, decrepit wrestler.
Looking at the videos in question, if it is that then it's something so beyond our current day science than I'm genuinely concerned what they're hiding.

I've always assumed that when wet know it's an alien spaceship it becomes an IFO*.
As has been said, all UFO means is that there was a flying object and we don't know what it is. Could it be aliens? Yes but with the laws of physics as we understand them it's unlikely due to the ~0.1c limit to ramscooping and no real feasible alternative for 'fast' interstellar travel (plus IIRC we're located in a pretty bad location for ramscooping) it's unlikely. And there's no real candidate for alien** origins within the solar system, Venus is the best bet and the chances of there being anything living there are about as low as there being a successful colonisation of my oven when I'm cooking the Sunday Roast. Much more likely is some new or unlikely aircraft (such as a toaster equipped with an externally pulsed nuclear fission drive), some weird atmospheric event that interacted with the sensors in an unexpected way, or a portal to Narnia.
*Joke originally from the first story I ever wrote bank in Year 7, now lost due to my throwing the exercise book away.
**Macroscopic at least, I believe there's decent evidence for microscopic extraterrestrial life.

I see you've bought into the "we never traveled the stars 50,000 years ago and then forgot everything and lost or destroyed all remnants of the technology and the people who settled Krypton were changed by the red sun such that when they returned they were super-powered by the yellow sun" conspiracy theory.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Yeah, I feel like that might be very dangerous in the snowy wastelands of Canada. ...and also heavy on the wallet. 'S a good mental image, though.
(Though you'd probably bring frowns after leaving onto the next place. )
Eh, I've never been a comic book reader, really. I don't have a horse in the race.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
And is that not the coolest thing ever? Kane was War to his Death and they definitely could have done a Famine and Pestilence if they wanted as well and it would rule.
Yeah I wouldn't actually ever do it, but it'd be a cool idea. Maybe I could get a scooter and be a badass who drives safely instead...

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
When I was younger and less thoroughly employed, I used to dream of somehow buying a few 6-8 seat surreys, modifying them to have storage space for luggage, and convincing a bunch of people to join me on a big surrey-ride across the country where we'd stop and do improv comedy at various sites along the way as a big adventure. I'm pretty sure that dream is fundamentally incompatible with my current mortgage-and-career-trajectory-based lifestyle, though.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
I am in the greater Nashville area, as opposed to Nashville proper. Also, I am not registered anywhere in Tennessee. My former state of being is putting a hold on getting a state ID not to mention a driver's license.
Has any one seen my jar of anti-protons or my cyclotron of positrons?

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
True, we need more wandering minstrels singing songs at pubs and/or charming the local maidens.
EDIT: sadly, I've yet to have a GM who'll allow my Noble Bards to cart a grand piano around dungeon. What do they think those servants from the background feature are for? It's clearly moving large items of furniture and bathing me during Long Rests.
I mean, apart from Invisible Ian. Nobody can defeat him.Last edited by Anonymouswizard; 2019-09-19 at 12:40 PM.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
I'm not so sure that Steve Harris doesn't have cool magical powers, though.
What are their strength scores? And, possibly more important when carting a grand piano in a dungeon, their AC and HP? At my table you could absolutely do that, but it probably would work out quite poorly for all involved.Last edited by Peelee; 2019-09-19 at 12:42 PM.

Caught one of the wristbands Nicko McBrain was tossing out.
To be fair, he's epic level. Of COURSE I'm going to assume you're referring to Iron Maiden and not a 5e bard who somehow has helpers that are just totally going to die in that dungeon.Last edited by Peelee; 2019-09-19 at 01:25 PM.
