Wow, people still post that shit on Facebook? Why? There is anything that isn't that on Facebook? Hang on a minute, he said he's a Christian but is against self-mutilation. Aren't Christian men required to cut a bit of their dick off to show how much they love their god? I thought that was as impor...

What I'd really like to get into, though, are recreated ancient beer recipes. That's my kind of shit to get snobby about. Also, I've seen some interesting non-beer fermented beverages that are interesting. Sprecher was doing some last time I was there (~ a decade ago), but I can't remember much for...

Like Fallout Tactics?

fucking IPA's... I used to love craft beers until they all got together and decided EVERY FUCKING BEER NEEDS TO BE AN IPA NOW. The 90's? Unfortunately, I'm living somewhere that's at least 30 years in the past, so the IPA fad is just hitting. I love that they think the way to be different is to add...

The word I'm having issues with now is "crazy" because I'm still struggling with the question: is this actually a problem? I don't know either. I am a crazy person who doesn't mind using the term, but I can understand it being offensive to other people. I'm legitimately learning disabled....

Ah, that explains my vague memories of a 2-weapon dark side guardian. Does the game still hold up after...17 years?

My initial thought about allowing "categories" of unvaccinated was that those who chose to not vaccinate would find some way to cheat the system and claim that their kid was unvaccinated by necessity and so should be allowed in school. It would help if experts were involved in the craftin...

I played KOTOR when I was about 11 or 12, had a great time with my poorly made Light side warrior guy, then made my way to Malak and got my shit completely rocked. I wound up having to start the game over and blast him with Force Lightning until he died, like everything else in the game. I had no i...

To be fair, I also can't tell which "that" Stahl hasn't seen children doing. But reading is more difficult when you miss a night of sleep.

Something I noticed about the movie is that all the male characters in the movie are either incompetent, sleazebags, creeps, rapists, or all of the above. Must be something in the water in Gotham. I think that's fairly standard to one degree or another in various Batman and related properties. Espe...

The same people freaking out about Coronavirus (and enabling a lot of racism in the process here) still won't get their flu vaccinations, naturally. Agreed. Vaccinations are much more effective when they're actually used. But everyone knows someone who says the only time they ever got sick from the...

Also, as a virus, antibiotics won't help. People will still use antibiotics to cure it.

As a side note, I personally love the beedrill knight idea so much, along with the Haunter Witch idea I just added, that I'm now going to be trying to convince someone to run a game where everyone's just pokemon-inspired characters. Optimally, you'd want a GM who would encourage you to go weirder, ...

Considering 3 different options for a skirmish game 1) D&D turns, but damage is resolved at the end of the round. So I move, attack, but target can strike back before KO. Perhaps critical hits cause immediate damage 2) Movement phase, then attack phase. I move, you move, I attack, you attack 3)...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agapemonites In 1856, a few years after the establishment of the “Abode of Love”, Prince and Zoe Patterson, one of his virginal female followers, engaged in public ceremonial sexual intercourse on a billiard table in front of a large audience. Ceremonial billiard table.

So, what's going on with Thuringia, Germany?

The Adventurer's Almanac wrote:Has it, though?

It has "brand awareness", which is what passes for quality these days.

Most of the information will be useless at any given moment but writing a lot of useful information about a monster is required if you want people to think about it as more than just a bunch of combat statistics. I was going to say that most Pokemon already have lots of useful information about the...

Elves are expensive at 30 BP, but you're paying for a combined 3 stat points (30 BP worth) in the best physical and best mental stat, which also increases the modified maximum. They also don't have any drawbacks like everyone else does. It's a stupidly good deal if you planned on spending those poin...

I assume Manny Bothans was pre-vetoed?

You mean to tell me Australia IS NOT a basically empty blasted hellscape? O.o They also have spiders and emus. you can and will create the entirety of your Outback Odyssey by your own hand. Which is great, good job, but then you gotta ask: what did I get this book for? Are you new to GURPS? The fir...

A guy in my game group wants to run Star Wars Saga edition. I was going to search through threads here and maybe ask some optimization questions, but after perusing the rules I honestly am having trouble giving two shits about it. It just seems like someone's awkward d20 kludge where they nerf ever...

In this case, I'm importing D&D, so the first level challenges are (for a party of 4): - Four goblins (or equivalent humanoids) - Two orc warriors - One ogre - Four giant rats (or bugs, or equivalent monsters) - Two giant centipedes - One giant spider - Four skeletons - Two zombies - One ghoul ...

Question: Which RPG's magic system allows the character to do their homework by casting a spell? Assume a HS or College student or equilavelent who doesn't want to do the work of researching a paper and writing it out. What powers across various systems allow them to do this? Any divination power w...

Alternately Abrams could just be pissing on the character that's not from his movie, since a lot of this felt like a pissing contest between directors. Rey being a Palpatine was both really predictable and really dumb. Rey's parents being nobodies was one of the few points in TLJ I liked. Also, why...
