It is airing on ABC at 9 PM, I think. Check your local listings! You mean Statler and Waldorf? They aren't critics. They're hecklers

That was a decade ago - "the muppets" was back in 2015. It ran for one season. Personal opinion - in trying to make that series more "adult" they made the characters more mean-spirited, which didn't really fit their prior ethos, so people abandoned it and ratings crashed. Muppets Mayhem, from...

Disney recently did "Muppets Mayhem," a miniseries about the Electric Mayhem. It was awesome.

I am a cat person. It isn't as hard as folks make it out to be, so long as you find a way to make the change something they want to do. The main problem with cats is that people think that, as an a animal, they'll be subserviant. But that's a dog thing. Cats are more like people. People are...

It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. A new show with the Muppets premiers for us tonight!

The player is going to have a different idea of "success" though. They have some end goal in mind, and are making the move to reach it. If you set the effect low such that they need to crit to get what they really want, then this is really just setting their effective target number higher.

Mod Note: With all respect, I don't see as there's much of a positive reading of that. It is basically saying she's inattentive or ignorant. So, maybe next time think a little bit about how something's gonna read before you click "Post reply", please? Thanks. (And with that, the matter is...

Mod note: Actually, he kinda did. The phrase, "....let her decide whether she can stand the heat enough to want to come into the kitchen." was used. So, how about you ratchet back your own accusations, and leave room for readings other than your own before you start a fight, hm? Thanks.

Not reading the thread, as I am not up-to-date on episodes, and want to avoid spoilers, but I want to jot down an idea in relation to the Betazoids of this time period.

So, there's a difference between what the gods actually do, and what people think they do. I prefer my fictional religions to still require faith - so I usually don't have deities taking giant avatars and walking along on the surface of the world, or mortals going to see them, and coming back...

So, playing the game before playing the game? Why wouldn't I want to just play the game? Again, that's a serious question. You are asking for a subsystem that creates the character and does the stuff you'd expect to do in play. Why have a separate subsystem for that?

Not to be glib, but... that sounds like just playing the game.

It isn't like I have an auditor check my work, or anything. I do not find purity of sufficient value to concern myself about it.

Yep. Unfortunately, these games are out of print at this point, as they were licensed properties. Margaret Weis Productions tended to focus on such, for some reason. Leverage is an excellent example of Cortex at it basics. And, you know, heists are great. Marvel Heroic Roleplaying is a...

I haven't seen Sinners yet. My wife has, and she liked the film, and she has less gore tolerance than I do, so I'd probably be fine with it.
