Ulm is my main pick. Cheap, stealthy crossbows and be-fullplated barbarians will probably make a more viable early game than a couple squads of dryad hoplites and a handful of well armed minotaurs; the blood late game backed up by a liberal, chaff annihilating barrage of Iron Blizzards looks a hell ...

I'd like to try my hand. No real experience with late age, but Ulm, Ryleh, and Pangea look good. I'll have to try a practice game or two to get a strategy down. Between 50 and 60 for sites doesn't sound too crazy, usually play with 45, myself. Basic research and Indy strength sound best to me. No op...

Been listening to Argy-Bargy nonsense on the radio a lot. Yeah, I can't stand that crap, sorry. I realize taste is subjective, but... well, no, it's just bad. http://crappyindiemusic.blogspot.com/2010/02/five-stages-of-grief-gypsy-punk-edition.html :wink: I read the article; it doesn't actual apply...

Sorry for the triple post, but I wanted to address the actual topic now that I'm done with all peanut gallery comments. The only thing I'm really missing are good, cost effective, 3d printers for things like cloned organs and an improved method of implantation that would naturally be developed after...

Aren't Scandinavian countries, Iceland in particular, especially good sources of pure research? Mostly government, but a good bit of private, funded? Right now we have a number of major technological problems, all of which could be solved by anyone thinking out of the box with the right idea. The bi...

The reason we don't have anything is because of the widespread use of capitalism. Capitalism allows private industry to do all it's research. Private industry doesn't do pure research, it does applied research. For example, the big pharma industry is not looking for cures to cancer.... but there ar...

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that str...

So, you would basically use the combat minigame as a metaphor for the social minigame? While this sounds amazing for a non-serious game, it seems like the sort of thing that a lot of people would have strong objections to difficult social terrain. It also reminds me of a schlock mercenary comic whe...

The last paragraph hints that multiple die rolls should be used in the Stealth minigame. IMO social minigames should follow suit. We have a reaction chart going from Hostile to Friendly but it seems poorly implemented with Diplomacy. Ambivalent, Unsure, Wavering, Beholden, Convinced will be the sta...

Addiction is a problem with all stims. Even caffeine. Yes, I know. It's one of the reasons I don't take any drugs on a regular basis. Soda and coffee are a rarity, cigarettes are once or twice a week thing, energy pills only erratically. And state-dependent learning. Assuming you meant state-of-bei...
