Come on guys...

This kind of thinking is wasteful. Every d20 has a finite lifespan. It was created, and it will, at some time in the future be destroyed, as all things are. That means it has a finite number of rolls in its lifetime, with an equal distribution of all possible outcomes. When you "practice roll" and get a nat 20, you have wasted one of the limited number of nat 20s that die has in it. Think of the 20s. Don't practice roll.

[DISCUSSION} Secret Invasion S01E01 - Resurrection

Stories like these are often about protecting the status quo, or at least protecting it from change involving harm and destruction. Refugees generally want to see the status quo changed because things suck for them. The more radical among the refugees will not be above using a bit of harm and destruction to get what they want. The ends justify the means and all that. I find it better to use the term "antagonist". They are people that the protagonists have conflict with, but they aren't necessarily bad people.

Robert Reynolds aka The Sentry. He's has Superman power levels (A Million Exploding Suns!). Easily one of the most powerful characters in the entirety of Marvel. He's also mentally unstable and has an alter ego called the Void who performs a horrific action for every good action Sentry performs. Don't know how much of his story is going to be pulled into the MCU, but I am excited by the possibilities.

Is anyone using the Bard College of Cuisine?

One of my friends has come up with rules for food and cooking, inspired directly by Delicious in Dungeon. It works really well. Food is directly linked to hit dice. You need to eat to maintain your HD, and you spend HD when healing wounds (even magically) and to exert yourself for bonus actions and such. Hunting, gathering, and cooking are all skill checks that determine how good the food is and how nourishing it is. We played a few test sessions killing monsters and harvesting food from them. Soon we will be playing a large campaign using these rules, and we're all looking forward to it.
