Even without that it's truly amazing how easy it is to spot returned banned posters by their turns of phrase and spelling/grammar errors.

Just tenderizing the meat.

I've only read the first two novels and don't even remember the plot of the second anymore. Wikipedia implies that "The California Voodoo Game" and the RPG came out in the same year, so were likely in parallel development. The couple of times that I ran the RPG, as one shots, I did it...

I owned the RPG and I think all of the adventures. I sent them off to a friend a couple of years ago, to see if it might make for a good Youtube/Twitch game. Hadn't touched them in decades before that.

Seems like they've dialed the gore factor up again.

I have a couple of frilly shirts but they're Regency, not Victorian. I'll retain my comfortable modern undergarments, thank you very much ;)

For me, it's Facebook. I follow a couple of Steampunk pages and a friend has a page on which she posts about ghost stories and medium readings. For some reason the algorithm thinks that I need to buy frilly Victorian undergarments.

Elsewhere... Poster, who posted on a motorcycle forum about a rider punching his mirror off for not getting out of the passing lane fast enough, revives thread after 10 years to say that he still thinks about the event today. He was not a rider and was quite contrite about his own actions...

And another thing...

And as someone who has made chainmail (in stainless steel no less), I can say with some certainty that even armour, when worn, doesn't have as much of an effect as when carried. If it makes any sense the way that the weight is distributed makes you move with more authority.

The 'simple answer' has sold millions of self help books over the decades.

I think something like an encumbrance points system, perhaps coupled with the "slots" system that some editions used for magic items, might be an ideal solution. The proverbial "golf bag full of swords" should just never happen, short of a bag of holding or portable hole. (In the old 1e campaign...

Which doesn't suddenly change of there's twice as much stuff laying around to acquire, because no one owns it anymore.

An understandable reaction. Sorry.

They could have even not bothered bringing the literal incarnation of Death into it and just left it as he was hallucinating.

Several universities have been targets of ransomware attacks. One got hit just weeks before they were to host a huge conference of universities and had to scramble to recover in time. We haven't been hit, yet, but it's almost inevitable. Social engineering is a thing and, ultimately, people are...

I've had a couple who almost got their entire department's shared data crypto-locked. One was "retired" maybe 2 weeks later.

The GIF that I didn't post was from when Flynn the Fine is being carried off by the zombies in that scene, in Dorkness Rising, because of the language in it ;)

For comparison purposes I was abut 98, in the US system, just before lunch. Morning numbers have been an issue, pushing up my pre-lunch numbers. Like in the 160 range. I think I finally have a handle on that now.

5.4 before lunch. Best it's been in weeks :)
