    How Much Do You Care About Novelty?

    Is that as similar to One-Roll Engine as it seems to me? (Looking for a reference point is all.)

    How Much Do You Care About Novelty?

    It's probably worth pointing out, here, that most of the tropes one would expect in a "Spy TRPG" are probably cinematic in nature, with apologies to Fleming, Bond, Le Carre, et al.

    For some reason, that reminds me of the steak options at Jack Rabbit Slim's.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That there looks very much like a question that contains its own answer, but I do not think pointing that out to you will be helpful.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The best fun is when you have two of those (or even better than the best, two groups of those) arguing at and refusing to understand each other.

    I just barely made that WIS save, dodged that bullet. :LOL:

    How do you choose a class?

    I typically have some idea/s about what job/s (or role/s, whatever) I want to do among the PCs, or I have an idea for some mechanical thing I want to explore; I make choices based on that. For example, I know I want to make a Brick in a Supers game, or I have some specific spellchucker idea/s I...

    Better a disagreement than abuse.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah. And often--"usually" seems too strong--everyone's right, by the definitions they're preferring. There's no point in bothering with that argument.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, I see the argument about definitions is going about the way I expected.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    "Why do people persist in being insulted when I've told them and told them and told them that I'm not insulting them?"

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Well, between reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones last night, and enjoying the hell out of it, and seeing Sinners this afternoon, and enjoying the hell out of it, I'm about full up on vampires for a while: As much as I enjoyed both of those, vampires are honestly not my...

    Having driven through Indiana two years in a row, on our way to vacations, I gotta agree.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yes. From Baltimore. Under cover of darkness. In a snowstorm. Maryland has a horse-racing tradition--I live near the biggest track remaining in the state. I believe "Colts" might have been a bit of a reference to that: The three-year-olds that run in the Preakness (at Pimlico, in Baltimore) are...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sure, and there were some you didn't mention that acquired more local color when they moved. Best I can think of is the Browns becoming the Orioles. Obviously not all names will have any deep local connection, though there are some trends in that direction--local indigenous tribes are kinda...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The Dodgers, at least, did. It's plausible that the Colts did, too. And the Twins changed their name (from Senators) before the Rangers did.
