Or like how you have to read the Balance skill to find out that trying to balance with less than 5 skill ranks makes you flat-footed. You wouldn't even know that spells like Grease and Sleet Storm can cause affected characters to lose Dex-to-AC without reading the entries for the spells, the balance...

Hasran Ogress was fine, 3 power for 2 mana with a drawback. Better than probably 80% of creatures at the time. But yeah, back then they were just trying to winnow out the most broken cards to get the game towards some semblance of fairness. Incidentally, 4th edition decks would stomp all over 5th, t...

Pandemic is great, it's about the only new board game I've played recently that I wanted to go out and buy. Go is excellent, I strongly prefer it to Chess. A big part of that is how well the handicap system works, my dad is slowly moving from a 4 stone handicap to 3 against me (I'm more of a visual ...

The worst game is War. That's the one where you flip over cards and see who has the higher card, and repeat that until one or more players get fed up and quit. Never play this game. Munchkin is pretty lame too. It just devolves into one player getting close to winning, then everyone stops them, then...

I can't imagine that they'd go for cryosleep when they could send embryos instead. Once you give up on sending individual people, you're just transporting genetic data. The most efficient way would be to digitize it and resythesize it on site, but sending a bunch of test tube babies and some robots ...

What are the other good HM slaves? Krabby comes to mind. I had a buddy who turned Lapras into one. I felt horrified... I can top that. I only ever played Red and Blue, like a decade ago, so I don't know about all the new HMs or pokemon, but back when I used to play, I saw a Mew that had all four HM...

There are a couple other games that use the Fate/FUDGE engine. Spirit of the Century is one.
Their main website is here, it has links to the Dresden stuff.
The rules are generally solid, for more narrative style play. If you like D&D/wargame style tactical combat, you may be disappointed.

What would you remove or change to accommodate such a curriculum? History, perhaps?

Those all seem like pretty reasonable conditions. She's in high demand as a speaker.
On the subject, when she resigned as Governor of Alaska, people said she was crazy. Crazy like a fox, maybe. Sarah Palin Has Earned an Estimated $12 Million Since July.

The problem with skill is king games is that there's no ramp up. Very few games actually encourage and enforce a ladder where people of similar skill can be matched and those who have higher skill teach rather than just bully others... -Crissa Right.

More bad news for D&D?
In the past Wizards of the Coast has been very careful to keep Magic and D&D separate. They seemed to feel it would compromise one or both if they allowed any concepts to bleed over between the two.
Not anymore.
