I would like to see less coverage of HIM and more coverage of the coward congress that isn’t removing HIM. That is all.

Well, given his track record at least we know if it’s a hotel it won’t last.

We have this in common. I can tell a lot from a character sheet. Good examples of play in the book are good too!

Which reminds me. I have to update my entirely analog pen and paper journal.

I can think of a place he could volunteer that would impress me…

First tattoo. I miss you, Dad.

Aurora’s Whole Realm’s Catalog and the Night City Sourcebook stand as my favorites, but a new challenger has entered. I really love the Pirate Borg Starter Set.

Pirate Borg Kickstarter photos. Dice, GM screen, core book, and starter set. The voyage begins!

Not as often as I would like. I don’t have a favorite here. Slim pickings. But my honor roll from my travels includes Gamesville Tabletop in FL and the Bearded Dragon in Oneonta NY. Shout out to Next Level in Brooklyn. Only game store I got to in NYC, but bought a really great card game there.

I’ve never had the problem. I’ve been the problem tho’. My philosophy as a player is if I feel myself going that way is to pivot my “role” to “elder sibling” and basically shift to playing the groups Steve Harrington. These chaos goblins are my children and they are under my protection.

I love a game from which story emerges so I like dice. But i also hate feeling incompetent when I don’t get the need result to trigger a particular outcome. So I’m somewhere in between I think.

The sweet spot for me was established by 2e old WoD. Black and white, no gloss, but excellent interior art and covers. These days I’m almost all PDFs. And then for the love of all that’s good, hot link your table of contents and index please. Work that time into the cost. I’ll pay it.

One vet and some new crew is awesome. I live for the “ah ha” moments from new players. They feed my soul.

your reminder that The Drowned Heir is a #SFINCS finalist, and the ebook is on sale for $2.99! There's also a hardcover.

Disagree on the twist. I found it contrived. Made for a disappointing close for an otherwise great story.

Who was Chuck Schumer’s Weimar Republic analog? Jesus, Chuck.

And while I’m on the subject… Play at the deck size minimum. You’re not doing yourself any favors running double sized decks.

If you play collectible or constructable card games w/ control decks… please don’t forget a win con. If you’re not damaging me or milling me, we’re still going to play for twenty turns and a half hour of our lives. If I’m not dead, I’ve got a line. If you don’t deny that line I’m going to win.

And, you know what? Go ahead and report me right back !C3. Do it. I would happily put “ultimately banned from social media for reporting and blocking the account of a government organization.” No matter which one it is, but especially !C3.

Oh, blocked and reported. They’ve participated in and promoted at least half the reasons in the report form.

Aaand that’s how we deal with that.

Yes. I like to homebrew, but I’ve also run established settings. The thing is I readily make every setting my own to an extent that given sufficient time it might become a home brew. And I’ll ignore established canon to fit my purposes with zero hesitation or regret.

Depends a little on the game, right? And the people around the table to be honest. But i don’t have a definitive answer for this one either.

Slow clap, WotC, well done.

Happy Birthday!

New Year or whatever.

Happy New Year!

I tell you what tho’… i don’t think I’ll ever play another tech based character. No more riggers or hackers or whatever. Maybe, The Wrench.
