I wasn’t convinced that this was actually any better than live laugh love, but you’re right. This is way better.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an’ hide But they still go for peanuts when coated in cyanide

After the panel voted 2 to 1 that deploying the national guard was a “measured response”, that one dissenting, non-trump-appointed judge…

not only urged an immediate review of the majority’s decision by her colleagues on the 9th Circuit, but also asked those “watching this case unfold” to “retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer.”

Even judges are willing to admit that watching this is enough to lose faith in the judicial system.

Fight me

I would, but if we’re using 2e it’s gonna take hours.

The problem with asking others how the heck they regulate without drugs is that they’re not you. They don’t have your brain or your hormones.

No solution from someone without the problem is likely to work and most people with the problem do not have a solution.

If i can find a sweet spot where i’m challenged but succeeding in an environment free of selfish unethical people, then i can get through the day without a toke. At the moment its bong-a-fucking-clock.

Trinidad and Tobago challenged Venezuela to provide proof of the alleged false-flag operation and said the joint military operation with the United States “aims to bolster the fight against transnational crime and build resilience through training, humanitarian activities, and security cooperation.”

That is confirmation from T&T, that’s the diplomatic equivilant of “lol bitch what are gonna do about it”.

the pink square is the giveaway

Good to know! The last time i read viz was decades ago.

Also that bird one is just hilarious.

This has to be from Viz, right? It reads like a Viz line.

I also think that like a lot of old d&d, it just wasn’t very good.

Having an encumbrance system isn’t necessarily bad - there are plenty of design goals it can support, as you point out. But counting out every pound and ounce has always been more work than most players want to do.

Oh yeah that’s true, it is somehow unreasonably fun to say.

Phwoah, get a load of those gams.

My first was RIFTS, which i did not have the stomach for at all. By comparison cyberpunk and cybergen ran like a dream, just as my friends and I were getting into Akira.

I never tried the Bab5 rpg, but i stayed up late with my mother to watch it. I was shocked when rewatching a few years back to see lucille blooth playing a regime loyalist captain.

Yeah i’m 43 but i got really frustrated with 2e era rules and moved on to cyberpunk, white wolf and gurps within a year or two of starting the hobby.

By the time 3e came out i was just not interested in fantasy rpgs anymore.

Since you seem to’ve been exposed to rpgs from birth, basically, you might count as slightly older in RPG-years than your real age? 😅

Probably encumberance, almost certainly the single most ignored rule in rpgs.

But honorable mention goes to old school AC/THAC0 - the mechanics were originally for modern-era battleship game where armor class referred to size. Using the smallness of boats to model the defensive power of better armor was never going to produce sensible results. THAC0 was always unweildy at the table, slowed play, and turned combat into a chorus of “uggghhhh does a 13 hit?” “Ugh… no.”

When the story was just ‘suspect and agent shot as suspect rams ice’, the top comment of every post here was some version of “bullshit”. And that was correct.

‘Ice open fire on journalist known for documenting their crimes’ is closer to the truth. Give it a week and ‘Ice shoot, falsely arrest and torture journalist’ is very likely to be true.

Dino Grandino? No, that’s too obvious. Hmm. I know!

Am in my early 40s. And yet I do not have my shit together in any meaningful sense. With each passing decade that becomes less and less sexy.

The only way your spouse could be correct is if you’re still playing 2e and you’re under 50.

I left mine out for too long and now he’s all squeaky and in need of oiling.

Ooph, when it’s impossible to tell if someone is shitposting or just genuinely religious.
