Dan Savage at least has repeatedly apologized and cut that shit out a long time ago.

Inventory management. Can't secure what you can't see etc

protip: don't cross them off, write who they are on the list (eg "Rivermeadow blacksmith") so you can remember when the players come back to them a million sessions later

Gorn have ballsacks? Aren't they lizards, so they should be internal.

Honorable mention to some of the aliens they interact with in Enterprise, before the Universal Translator was fully working. Though technically they weren't the Federation yet.

Actually, progressing in an interesting if not promising way. There's been a ton of debate about how to handle the Ireland/North Ireland border due to brexit, and what they've recently settled on is basically creating a sea border between North Ireland and the rest of England so that the land border between Ireland and North Ireland can stay unrestricted. I'm not an expert, but this guy is and he's made several videos about it I like: https://www.youtube.com/@williamcfox/videos

I instantly love this image, what's it from? Some kind of Tomb Raider comic?

Well with Data it's different, they didn't know how to make a copy of him, only papa did and it took him most of a lifetime.

Transporter shenanigans are, admittedly, just something you gotta hand-wave.

Maybe the academy is just a terrible educational institution. Basically all we see of it is weird mind games, like simulated terrorist attacks and tests you automatically fail.. Maybe Picard thought of the gardener as a mentor because he was the only adult there not fucking with him.

 

Perhaps obvious to everyone else, but I've hit upon a little trick for better coordinating game time. Instead of announcing "Game will be at 1 o'clock" I've been doing something like "Doors open at Noon, Game starts at 1." This way, the people that want to hang out, level their characters, decide what they like on their pizza, etc all show up at noon, and the people that are running late or decide to come at 1 arrive with the expectation that they're going to walk in the door and immediately start playing. It also provides a natural transition point from the arriving/hanging out mode to game time, which otherwise makes me feel kind of uncomfortably teacher-y, calling the whole class together and whatnot. Try it out, maybe it will help you too.

 

You see something similar in the entranceway to public bathrooms that don't have doors, where it kind of zig-zags for privacy. I'm trying to figure out what this kind of architectural feature is called. Thanks!
