I think it would be whatever is public-facing. If the lodge is known and the cult is a secret, then use the lodge. If the cult is known and the lodge is a secret, use the cult.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

If the dice make too much noise on the wood, the same craft store likely has self-adhesive felt sheets. Cut to shape and stick on the bottom. Or use regular felt and glue on with contact cement or spray adhesive.

If they don’t get that hull straightened out, it’s just going to go in circles.

I went to a doctor about it a year ago, and got “yes you’re ADD but not enough to prescribe anything” and it felt like he said “Yes you’re drowning but not enough to send a lifeguard.”

Sudoku isn’t math, it’s pattern finding. You can replace the numbers with letters, colors, fruits, emoji, birds, whatever and it will work just the same.

At least now, treat any self-driving car like it’s driven by your teenager who just got their license. Pay attention to everything, be ready to take over at a moment’s notice, and don’t let it drive anywhere you wouldn’t trust your teenager to handle safely.

Remember, however bad you are at it now, you used to be worse, and that’s progress.

I ran a wargame at a con where, after two turns, I stepped back and just let them play. It’s a fantastic feeling.

For the most part it isn’t the internet, there are dedicated communication networks for this that are specifically not connected to the internet because of the obvious reasons.

Between takes on set Peter Cushing painted wargaming figures.

He'd invite female costars to join him if they were new, looked lonely or being perved on by others on set.

"Scream Queen" Ingrid Pitt proudly showed me the little figures they painted together once. Kept them all her life #nerdlings

Emergent

“The deck has emergent properties; individual cards are useful, but combining complimentary cards makes the deck much more effective.”

Complimentary, collaborative, etc. My brain says there’s a great word for “greater than the sum of its parts” but my brain is an asshole and won’t produce that word. I’ll think of it right after I press “reply”.

Growing up they were taught that everything of significance throughout history was done by white men, and thy still haven’t questioned that “fact”.

Not necessarily. In the 80s we would visit my grandmother who lived in a small town (pop 100 if you include all the dogs, cats, and mosquitos) and got raw milk at a local dairy. We had to buy milk at the store for me because I was allergic to something those cows ate and would break out in hives.

With all that’s going on I hope games and devs get even more political. It’s a joke cos nothing is devoid of politics especially with art but I just hope people start to own it more. F*ck fascism and don’t let them bastards grind you down.
