You examine the S. John closely, but find only a small tag proclaiming him a product of the Frobozz Magic Game Designer Company. Trusty GM, Hammondal, Risus, Uresia, Fonts, Maps. Long ago I did stuff for GURPS, LUGTrek, Citybook, d20 Star Wars, Hero, etc.

Heck, I'd try it. Sounds like a lively spread, if an unfamiliar one. ๐Ÿ˜

Often, but not always. With the stuffing, and the sweet potatoes, there's often plenty of starches on the table, but ... mashed potatoes are too great not to have, so we often have those, too. ๐Ÿ˜

I'm heading to Wegman's right now to sit and write for a while. โ˜บ๏ธ

I still use either 3rd or 5th depending on the table. Castronegro is a challenging one, always worth a run!

All the RPGs that I love are funny. Nearly half of them are intentionally so.

reminding myself that getting older and weirder and sexier and more perverted and gluttonous and intelligent and blunt and eloquent and spontaneous and skilled and empathetic is literally what its all about

ImSim, Adventure, Strategy.

Probably. Sometimes I go through Puzzle, RPG or ARPG phases.

I have a light hand with it, bit I always do a dash and it really does let itself be known, in a nice way. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I never made it at all for years until it came up that my wife had never tried tuna casserole ... so I made one to satisfy her curiosity and she insisted it become at regular thing! โ˜บ๏ธ

Similar to how I make it all these years later. I like some veggies added, and some cheese, and I use fried onions for the topping usually ... but that basic noodles + soup + Worcestershire + topping is the same base.

A simple square-graph diagram emphasizing that the high-to-low spectrum of trad gameplay has "In-Character | Creation and Implementation" as the intersection labeled High-Trust and "Out-of-Character | Selection and Application" at the lowest. The graph is tilted slightly to indicate that the axes are not evenly weighted. The intersection of "In-Character | Selection and Application" is labeled "Upper Medium" and, due to the tilt, sits visibly higher than the "Lower Medium" intersection of "Out-of-Character | Creation and Implementation."

What it means to be an HTT gamer:

GM Driven: Nah, no thanks.
Player-Driven: Definite no.
Rule/Procedure-Driven: None for me, thanks.

Richly Tactical? Yes! Don't mind if I do!
Roleplay-Driven: Oh yes. Yes please. That's the spot. ๐Ÿ˜…

I love fresh hummus so much. Whenever there's a good bunch of fresh lemons at the market that's the first thing I want to make.

ALL of that sounds great. The kebabs and all.

But hummus: ๐Ÿ˜‹

Decent line to write for, too. We may never see its like again but I'm glad we had it when we did. Trek gaming fits my brain.

I used to do gamer crosswords for my webpage, but not specifically for Trek.

I did a cute Trek wordfill though! And a fake Broadway musical for the Andorian book. ๐Ÿ˜…

When we were holed up in a shelter for Hurricane David, we feasted on C-RATS, which were a fascinating game of trial and error. Some folks claimed you could guess which can contained the crackers or the much-desired fruit cocktail by serial numbers, but if so I never figured out the code. ๐Ÿ˜†

Absolutely. Thousands of ideas piled up and waiting.

What I need is time. Possibly centuries. ๐Ÿ˜…

It's the one sequel film that made me glad they did the sequel films.

Seeing Harley on the big screen in live action felt like a cultural milestone, even if the film itself was muddled.
