  • Yeah, my Star Trek knowledge starts and ends with the movies (both the OG Trilogy and the two Abrams films), so most of these meme might as well be in Klingon. But everyone else is having so much fun that it’s fun laugh along like I understand the jokes.

    On a related note, if I wanted to get onto Star Trek, what series does everyone recommend starting with?


  • Not necessarily.

    A. They might have really liked the flavor and/or mechanics on the UA version and the homebrew version was different enough that it wasn’t as interesting to them

    B. OP might have taken long enough researching Mythic and it’s alternatives that the player had time to reconsider their choice. The player might have been split between the two anyway

    C. The player might have realized that running a homebrew/UA class was going to be a lot of extra work for themselves and/or the GM, so they decided to do something easier



  • Your first two examples open up more opportunities for outplays. The opposing team can recognize that you have picked up on their patterns and then run fake-out plays to catch you off guard. Sign stealing just allows you to know exactly what the other team is about to do and there is no opportunity for them to fake you out. (Other than switching to a new set of signs, but learning signs is boring for the players and not entertaining for the audience).

    To equate it to poker: Your first two examples are similar to learning one of your opponents tells. If you start to exploit their tell, they can start faking it to force you to fold or place a bad bet. Sign stealing is like taking a peak at their cards
