True, and maybe an attempt to distance themselves a little further from the Vulcans.

For 4-6th WFB, 2-5th 40k, and similar timeframe gaming

Looking for dice from the new AOS boxed set and Dark Imperium on the cheap. Let me know if you can help.

A side affect of some mental enhancement, traces of some disease that ravaged the Romulan Empire, mutation caused by their new homeworld, interbreeding with the Reemulans (who we saw all of once)...

Lots of ways to handwave make up changes in Star Trek, many of which have been used in the show.

There certainly are, and there have been various attempts at it over the years. I just don't think it was a necessary change, and the Romulans would have been more interesting (and less silly-looking) without it.

I seem to recall even Spock was surprised Romulans look like Vulcans so I think it was more than just a few thousand years especially since the Vulcans are a long lived and not prolific species.

And maybe the intent was a similar but not identical thing. If memory serves, there were several aliens that Roddenberry would have done differently with a higher budget.

What is this? No Disco Season 2 posts?

It's on Netflix outside the US (or y'know if you point your VPN towards London) and enjoying it. Much more Star Treky.

There's an annoying Spock subplot but I long ago decided the show was in an alternate reality so that's all fine.

Loving May the Guyanese spore creature. Lovely accent.

We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't. - Frank Howard Clark

The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox
