    Knights of the Old Republic.

    I’d heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.

    Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.

    The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can’t save the game from the obvious fucking fact you’ve been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.

    People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.

    Doctors tend to not take that oath any longer. Too much of what they do constitutes ‘doing harm’, seriously.

    “Some say that the oath is irrelevant in modern medical practice because it does not address ethical issues that are relevant today.”

    Editing to clear this up: I mean insurance companies stopping them from helping their patients and not giving them enough time to accurately diagnose their patients. Just to be clear I’m not talking about gender affirming care or abortion.

    They are, vaguely. The situation is that two worlds from parallel timelines almost collided and we’re sealed into a bubble plane to keep the catastrophe contained.

    One party from each world is unraveling the how and why. At the center is a pair of liches - the same individual from each world - whose phylacteries are each other. If you dint defeat them both in the alloted time, the other lich rises again.

    None of the players know about the liches yet, but they do know their name, Zeitounessian.

    I’m running multiple d&d games for both friends and family. My friends are currently playing The Curse of Strahd and loving it but it’s just by the book.

    My family just finished The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, which I had heavily modified and plan to release a boom detailing what I did and how it went. After that this group returns to my homebrew game, so…

    I need to revive a third game, also with friends, which is their heroes in the same homebrew world as I plan to bring the two groups together for a level 20 finale.
