All of the AD&D trap books were MTP pole poking traps.

Governor Cuomo: *trying to play down the seriousness of UI delays* Reporter: is there a fundamental right to work when the government can't get me the money when I need it? Governor Cuomo: You want to go to work? Go take a job as an essential worker. Emphasis mine. I understand that this is the out...

Certainly, a problem with fictional plagues is that it would be hard to get your audience to accept that the president of the United States sacked the head of an agency researching a vaccine because the head of that agency said that the president shouldn't tell people to drink aquarium cleaner. Or t...

As we mentioned in the review of Cyberworld , plagues are pretty common in Cyberpunk future histories. Games like Shadowrun and stories like Akira almost always have some big epidemic that wipes out a lot of people. But the weird thing about them is that they are hardly ever current and ongoing conc...

Two pet cats test positive Could the fact that cats are catching it be indicative of the disease's origins? Probably not. Viruses very frequently have a number of different species that they are capable of infecting, though often their ability to infect different organisms are not the same. Viruses...

You wanna wait for Jared to read 25 books and decide how many respirators you get? I'm gonna assume 'books' is slang for facebook pages, since we know that's where he gets his information from . The 25 books thing is a reference to the claim that Jared Kushner was going to untangle the Middle East ...

Cuomo literally told people who can't afford food because the state is taking too long to respond to go get a job. I really hate blue states that elect republican governors like Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York. Can I get a link to the exact quote? Kaelik is in all ways and at all times acting...

So the important thing to remember about shops being ordered open is that customers don't magically appear. More than 70% of people are fearful to go to the fucking grocery store right now, business is not going to be normal in salons, sit down restaurants, and movie theaters. It just really obvious...

All in all, this is the most dystopian thing I've seen in my entire life. I find it gallows humorous that WV is among the last to be picked for a team. On the map, its central location seems an ideal - even necessary stepping stone for imperial expansion. The map is different from the territory how...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWJu6u2UcAAGCzR.png New Hampshire and Maine will obviously join the RAC shortly after Vermont does. They can't survive economically without New York and Boston. Idaho and British Columbia joining the Western States Pact is surprising to me, but I suppose at that rate we ...

In other news, if you compare total deaths from the last month to previous yearly averages it looks like the COVID deaths are being underreported by tens of thousands. So that's a thing. Also that's a sample of ten countries and a city, so by "tens of thousands" we probably mean "hun...

The woman on the left of the picture is Melissa Ackison, co-owner of Ackinson Surveying and current candidate to be the Republican nominee for Ohio's 26th state senate district. She isn't out there demanding that she be allowed to die for capitalism, she is out there demand that her employees be al...

So about those protesters. First of all, they look horrifying. But then when you dig a little deeper, they are horrifying. https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/N4W7PVD77UI6VECANCMB6SEO5U.jpg So that's the now iconic picture of the Ohio protesters looking like a fucki...

I keep seeing the US split. I hope the chances of that are way smaller than what my imagination is creating. There are going to be states (South Dakota, Florida) that suck at this. And they're going to have cases long after the west coast slows way down. Which is why I asked my first question becau...

What are the chances that the US breaks up because of this? Higher than it's been at any point in my life. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVwK8kRXYAY6vNd.jpg But still pretty low. The thing is that like the mandate of heaven, there's not much reason for anyone to allow the United States to dissolve wi...

Should I be bringing three cloth masks to the office so I can have a replacement after drinking a cup of tea and having lunch? Probably. Having a single mask that you reuse is better than no mask. Donning and doffing masks without ever touching the front with unwashed hands and using a new mask for...

How do they find you? That's a major plot hole. Most similar stories, like Nightbreed or X-Men involve the "special" person finding and getting found by their people. The people who are special in the same way that they are. It can be a metaphor for any out-group, whether it's gays or got...

A really significant number of people who read Werewolf the Apocalypse come away with the idea that the setting is about magical talking animals. Because otherwise the book is talking about raping normal dogs for page after page and that would be bad . The mind simply rebels, and fills it in with mi...

How long is it going to take for sufficient medical research to create a good consensus on how Covid-19 moves around? We're still at the stage of "t-shirt masks help some, probably" when it comes to safety measures. The news gets all kinds of messed around about this, and the incredible i...

So the most obvious is that if you transform into "crinos" you become a giant monster that also causes traumatic memory loss to humans you have sex with, allowing you to physically overpower people and rape them. Also to get away with it, because the traumatic memory loss keeps them from ...

Is Planescape actually a setting that handles high level full casters Sort of? It accepts that they exist and has a flippant answer for what that isn't a problem. "Shit's like infinite man, so like whatever. You can use your powers to raise an army of Solars and shatter the temples of Mammon; ...

Well boys and girls, now we are all Communists.

But that's a different WW product, surely they have a different reason for including dogfucking and rape? Or was the reason "the writers were horny and edgy"? One of the things a lot of the White Wolf authors were building up to was a big time crossover where Exalted was the past of the W...

It's almost as if someone thought "dog pedigrees are complicated and interesting, what if we put that in our werewolf game?" and didn't realize the implications of what they were doing, even as they were publishing it. But humans can be kinfolk too, right? Kinfolk happen as offspring of a...

So totally normal humans and totally normal dogs/wolves can create werewolf children, or do they have to be special or connected in some way? All werewolves have a human form and a dog form. When (not if) they fuck a normal dog while in their dog form, they create a dog "kinfolk" or (more...
