I met the woman (Jane Wagner) who made "Break the game"! She was really nice, and really, really, upset about how PBS acted with her movie.

I'm trying to think of a situation where a penis, testicles, ovaries, etc, are required and the law would care but I'm not coming up with anything.

Like, you can't be a sperm donor if your body doesn't produce sperm. but that's not something the law needs to worry about, right?

I remember once my players spent like 15 minutes discussing how to get across a 10 foot long puddle of water in a cave.

Eventually I had to remind them that 10' isn't that far, and you can RAW jump your strength score in feet with a running start. They didn't need to build a bridge or cut into the walls. They could also just go into the water, but I understand not wanting to submerge yourself in cave water when you don't know what's down there.

It's funny because adding more non-car options tends to make using a car more pleasant. But conservatives aren't known for being smart, correct, or good at long term thinking.

What? I think the joke is hit net worth is negative. Like, if his net worth is -125, .08 of that is negative one. So if he "gives" that portion of his wealth away, he's giving them negative one dollars. ie: taking a dollar from them.

I met someone who told me she worked at the CDC, and she said shit is way worse than what's reported. Of course she could've been lying, but that seems like a weird lie to do when you're making "so what do you do for work?" small talk.

Sometimes you do. Like monologue. Monogamy. Hm but I guess the root isn't a whole word in those cases.

I think they said because she was a mutant, the clone lab won't work on her. All the other party members are humans.

But like she's a mutant the whole time, and it only comes up when she plot-dies.

(This is from memory, so I might be wrong.)

It's a good game if you like old timey jrpgs. The dungeons are full on mazes.

Phantasy Star 2 has a named NPC die and it has a weird excuse why you can't revive her at the clone labs, even though you could just fine up to that point.

Also when everyone else was like "omg no character has died in an RPG before" youth me was sitting there like "is phantasy star a joke to you?"

You can do non-monogamy without cheating. I know many people who do so.

Huh. I guess no one says "monosexual"

They didn't say, but like

  • if they're a criminal enterprise there's no guarantee they'll pay you
  • my lawyer friend said i'd be exposed to criminal and civil problems
  • you're just helping some other corpo
 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
