I’m convinced that’s one of the best monologues in all of cinema, never mind just sci-fi. Brilliant work.

The Bene Gesserit had been secretly selectively breeding the noble houses for dozens of generations by the time of the books. Strength and athleticism were two of the factors they bred for. It might not have been as bad as you think…

I think you mean survivorship bias favours the bold.

DNGN+DRGN. CBR+PNK.

People gotta stop giving their games titles that are only distinguishable from major IPs in text, so we can talk about them.

Before 60, being naked in public is your problem. After 60, it’s everyone else’s.

I don’t think you read that article before posting that headline.

Nice. That reviewer has tremendously high standards - if he likes it, it must be a winner.

What sort of mushroom dishes?

Curry. I love curry. Check out this youtube clip for a recipe from Jaime Oliver, which is delicious but also keeps it very simple: Corner Shop Curry

(He says to grate the onion, but I find that just chopping it is fine. And I use powdered ginger because I never seem to have the fresh stuff on hand.)

Wasn’t 1st edition just a couple of years ago? A new edition seems premature.

Chicken fat, civilian casualties… is there really a difference?

Modern day sci-fi game. None of the players created a combat-capable character, but they all kept trying to solve their problems with violence. Eventually I gave them a meatshield NPC (Ed First) with fast healing, because he was a clone. And he needed it - “Another botch on your firearms roll? I guess you shot Ed again.”

If they had ever asked “Hey, who’s he a clone of?” things might have been significantly easier for them. Because the answer was the main villain of the campaign, who wanted to genocide the human race and liked to lock his devices to his specific DNA.

Dangers of shooting video in portrait mode confirmed.

By attracting the 5G waves, obviously.

Can you poke things with it? Can you swish it around and pretend it’s a sword? Does it bring joy to your heart? Then it’s a stick.

Minor issue with your link there. That ‘d’ at the end should be an ‘e’. It works either way, but without the e there’s a permanent label on top of the starscape.

Cool site!

Pathfinder 1st edition, Ironfang campaign. One of our early fights was a TPK. This week was the toughest fight since then. We were outnumbered two to one. Three out of four party members spent some rounds making death saves.

We did this to ourselves, of course. I’m sure we could have made better strategic decisions.

I can tell you exactly what an OSR game is.

Pew pew!

Luanti is a better name, but I confess I have trouble remembering it.
