Yes. Oh, yes... Both. You ever heard the old cliché of a suicidal person sticking their head in the oven to kill themselves? That isn't based on modern natural gas. That's based on coal gas - coal gas is composed of a mixture of methane, hydrogen (cool, both of those burn), water, carbon...

Figured I'd close the loop on this. I got a bunch of useful suggestions here, which was really helpful. In the end, I went with a student - the daughter of a gaming friend. I know the friend from a house con I go to every year, that I got invited to through going to EN World Gamedays back when...

Mod Note: You have six hundred accounts, but you made this one just today for this post? So, clearly, you know what's coming. Maybe you'll find someplace more fitting to your posting desires...

What? Archiving has squat-all to do with continuing sales. This is an area in which the digital world has failed to keep up with the implications of its own development. With print works, archival libraries could purchase or receive donation of a copy of a work, and preserve it for future...

Indeed, all of TTRPGs can probably go in the trash right off.

So, argumentum ad populem?

I think he means this in terms of archiving for academic use and study, not in the sense of people actively playing it.

Mod note: Easy-peasy. You need have no fear of exposure to it, since your post here was so incredibly rude, you've earned a ban from the thread. Be better to people.
