Rio de Janeiro is shutting down schools and events. I'll work from home for the time being.
What will happen to all the people who can't work from home? They still need to eat and such.

-Indirect apocalypse. The plague doesn't kill humanity or even inflict enough fatalities to directly end civilization, but it causes enough economic damage and political instability to cause a 30s-grade depression and a massive surge of war across the globe as devastated economies scramble for reso...

Well, this is it, right? A global catastrophe that humanity could easily deal with if the planet was already united under some form of collectivism but that will decimate us because Capitalism always has the worst reactions. Right now, it seems inevitable that a worldwide economic depression will hi...

There are two kinds of multiclass character concepts . The first concept is the character that acts as if they belong to two different classes, all the time. I think the archetypical example here is the fighter/mage, that wants to kick ass with both weapons AND spells. For this concept in a 3E like ...

Also for all we know Youmu can fly by swording just like she can do sword danmaku. While we can stay here discussing Touhou all week, it's not the thread theme and the quoted bit is the key: By the end of the day Youmu behaves as a magic user, just as any character in the series*. But like a youxia...

If you make a fighty dude able to participate reasonably in level appropriate adventures no one gives a shit about anything else. Really that's the whole ball game. The real issue is that 'fight' has a lot less conceptual space and therefore problem solving applicability than 'uses magic'. We've ha...

The Legend of Galactic Heroes novels lost me quite early, when the beginning of the first book showed how one of the character was a master tactician by having him simply follow the basic principles of war against supposedly seasoned veterans who acted the worst way possible. But I kept reading any...

This is usually one of the major points I bring up in favor of anime - usually a series is commissioned for a certain number of episodes and they resolve their plot point within that number of episodes. It's funny that you mention this because Bleach lost me when it refused to end at the end of the...

Dune style forcefields which are susceptible to slow massive crushing force and immune to fast bullets and bad targets for lasers would make giant robos an acceptable choice. Dune shields vs lasers is one of the weak points of the series: If shields react to lasers like that, then the proper in-wor...
