The amount of fascists that played in my town is what turned me off of White Wolf. That and the sex pests trying to seduce the ladies with die rolls in real life.

Racism and prejudice are missing from your equation. The sorcerer is different but only treated special in character creation because they get free shit. In the world they would be hated and feared as the person who started fires as a child or drowned a local cow. They would have a rumor of death or destruction follow them wherever they go

Good on your for not thinking of how much your personal frustrations would impact the behavior of the world. It’s hard to think beyond prejudice and racism.

People hate different people for existing and different people exist: they can be called “special” but they are still different. And special people exist. That’s what makes Einstein and Mozart and many others stand out in history. Differences exist. How your world treats them is what makes a good story.

A mysterious and impenetrable fog is moving across the countryside. The only way to combat the fog, to drive it back and clear the air, is to banish it with light from an ancient and forgotten Reghed cantrip. And time is running out. The players must journey to Icewind Dale and find Rudy the Reghed Deer Druid who can guide them through the fog with his magic light to find the answers they seek.

Star Trek that isn’t embarrassed to be Star Trek

That’s broadly the appeal of Lower Decks

That’s Ralph Bakshi

The offending company is iLife and the product is the A11 vacuum robot.

Reads like they wrote incubus and then panic swapped it to succubus

Or throwing phones at the windows.

That’s why this is a brilliantly played barbarian. They think they are clever but will still have to do things the hard way.

The die need to warm up. I have to practice my release to make sure of a good number. Don’t take this from me.

Historically, the UK has always been very self assured in their goals and never looked for outside input while disregarding the people that they were upending. Anyone who wasn’t helping them was viewed as an enemy to be controlled, oppressed , or destroyed. If that isn’t a non-political explanation of rightwing authoritarianism, I’m not sure what is.

Excellent list but Call of Cthulhu is tapping the same old vein of horror since the 80s and it doesn’t carry the same weight. Delta Green is a very good update on the genre that has some really weird stuff to shock and amaze.

Can we rename succubus to Hell’s Belles?

Things have changed. Before, the worst Facebook could do to its critics was ban them and those that they knew. Now Facebook can have ICE turnover your house without a warrant for a troll post. A private company is now working to suppress a specific kind of conversation that questions the judgement and actions of those in power. It’s a subtle but very dangerous difference in why a bad EULA may not have previously caused concern but the new one is.

Ah yes. They group hearing the language without understanding it. ESL (Elvish as Second Language) character.

A D326 with one face a reroll.

This is one of my favorite underrated gems of a cowboy movie.

Apple and Nvidia hate each other due to some failed business history between them. Apple didn’t like Nvidia chips failing and hurting the MacBook reputation. Nvidia didn’t like being thrown under the bus when the MacBook problem started to surface.

Since 2008/09 they have refused to even joke about doing business together.

You can be literally obliterated by a sneeze. And you’re so dusty, folks would need to make a Con check for allergies.

Skelepathical!
