One of my favorite stories was one of my players in the campaign was a D&D/Pathfinder veteran & this was his first foray into other games. He was gob smacked when I asked him to describe what kind of weapon he found in an old ruin, changed his paradigm of how cooperative RPGs could be

I have been eagerly awaiting the full version of Stonetop for nearly five years now. I ran a Stonetop campaign back in 2019 when it was in very early beta and had a blast. The anti Murder Hobo game it ties your characters to a specific village & makes place matter.

I didn't know that the real problem with the Rainbow Coalition was that they dropped white people from the coalition, I'm sure Helen has no other problems with them beyond that.

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

I think what they are going for is that the year she is in specifically is the hardest for medical students usually but they've chosen a really poor way of showing that. I wonder if they're so focused on medical accuracy they've let the writing of the plot suffer.

They really expanded the world and kept it from the bad ending of the book series. I especially liked the afterlife and hedge wizards stuff.

Didn’t the TV series shift it to an actual grad program?

To me this gets at what conservatives want today which is to be respected by the people they are oppressing. It is not enough that they have the power, they need to be acknowledged for being right.

Do you think Rod ever thinks about the time he was deported from the EU?

Who, must be stated again and again, is an immigrant to Hungary! Hungary is not migrant free because Rod is there!

The model seems to have the correct number of fingers so maybe sloppy photoshop. Also, I want to circle back around to the editor signing off with "xo"

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms & Wonder Man take existing franchises and zoom down to the personal level. They take their time exploring the characters and build up to meaningful action scenes that are meaningful precisely because they've taken the time to develop the characters & the stakes.

If Doug Wilson could snap his fingers and bring slavery back I have no doubt he would. The Reactionaries want to bring back every form of hierarchy. They want minorities, women, and non-Christians subservient to the white Christian man. This is their project.

It is time to restore America's strong sense of heterosexual masculinity by emulating ancient Sparta.
