Thank you for your service!

Alaskan settlers wanted to call their new town Ptarmigan cause there were plenty of those birds around.
But they didn’t know how to spell it, so they called it Chicken.

Plot twist: It’s just a printout of the DM’s last Dwarf Fortress save.
Below level 23 is where the FUN starts.

I wrote a backstory, along with what my character wants to achieve.
No one else wrote a story. Neither did the DM apparently.
He made my story the campaign, and the other characters my squires.

Just be aware: Extracting anything work related into a private account can itself be reason to fire you.
And if you’re already on the shit list, chances are you are being monitored for stuff like this.

It still exists, and people still use it to vent about their issues in it. But there’s now also a mailing list with externally hosted mail addresses of the important people in case of a real emergency.

My workplace introduced a “crash group” on Whatsapp. The idea was to have a channel for quick emergency communication in case the company got hacked and all other channels were taken offline. So IT was strongly encouraged to join, as well.
It quickly turned into everyone posting to Whatsapp every time they had any tiny issue or had forgotten their password, and expecting immediate tech support regardless of working hours.
So my boss, the IT team leader, left the group and told the CTO to call him directly if there’s a true emergency. He also told everyone else in IT to leave it. And when Teams was introduced, he ordered us not to accept any tech support requests through Teams, and to escalate to him if anyone complains about it.
Even the company owner and the C-suite call helpdesk or write tickets now if they need support (their tickets are automatically flagged with the highest priority).
My boss and the culture he fought for is one of the main reasons I took this job, even though I could have gotten a bit better pay elsewhere.

You’re comparing a kernel with an entire operating system.

But then you have to give up one of your attacks to move or do anything else that takes an action

Yes. That’s generally how it is. If you first have to run to your opponent to hit them, you can’t hit them as often as if you were already there.
If you shoot while moving, you will have a lower effective rate of fire.
But my actual point is: turn-based combat is always an abstraction. I like to abstract it a bit more than DnD does, simply to avoid wasting any game time on arguing about action types.

They’re worried you’ll constantly make puns about women riding you.

This is the type of shit I dislike about DnD.
In any system I write and run, you simply get 2 actions per turn. Action types are a complication that add nothing to the game.
