So? It isn't like the point of Session Zero is, "so you can never discuss this at any other time." The point of Session Zero is to at least talk about these things once before you ever actually play. It establishes that the group can and will talk about these things like mature adults. It...

If you mean, it is obvious that the themes will resonate with the audience, now, then yeah.

Many are the meetings that could be made better with a "Release the Velociraptors" lever just at the conference room door...

Oh, and... Big tech company doing Neuromancer. Not ironic at all. No siree.

Unless you are going to claim that fungus on Mars is gonna do the asteroid mining for you... And if you do that, the opposition will then campaign on the fact that you've created tool-using fungus that will inevitably come back and invade Earth.

No, first you have a meeting in which you talk about the things that need to be done. The e-mail then summarizes the list of "action items". Then, after you watch those items not get done, you send a follow up e-mail, restating the action items. Then, at the next status meeting, you mention...

It is for stuff like this that the concept of Session Zero was created.

Mod Note: Wow. Someone pretty actively looking to get removed from the discussion for being insulting and hostile. Okay, here you go, then.

And, that's a whole lot easier if it actually did something useful....

Given how poor a rendition of the original story Arnold's version is, you have very little grounds for this assertion.

Please do not try to get around the language filter. Keep it clean. Thanks.

Ah. Didn't even bother to note the example in which I explicitly say otherwise. Didn't bother to ask a single question. No curiosity demonstrated. No apparent desire to explore examples given. Not much of a discussion here. Have a good afternoon.

From the link you provided: "The UCC-1 publicizes the creditor's legal right to seize collateral if the borrower fails to make payments on a loan. It also establishes the creditor's priority over other creditors for that collateral." So, it sounds to me like the UCC-1 is exactly that - the way...

That may be true of D&D, and many other traditional RPGs. But, there are RPGs that have an explicit end point. Scum and Villany, for example, is designed for a campaign to run for a dozen to twenty sessions, and then be done. Deathmatch Island canonically has the PCs working their way through...

It has been so terribly long since I read that one, that I cannot really recognize the characters to know if that's decent casting. Time to re-read.

Diamond has stuff in warehouses, holding it for the publishers, and Diamond is probably paying for that storage - and when they are already bankrupt, ongoing costs suck. Diamond wants to end that ongoing cost. It looks like Diamond is asserting that the owners have not stepped up to claim...

Yes. Like, if the thing did something useful in the process of growing, then it might be worth a consideration. But, "let's cover Mars in fungus for no real reason whatsoever" probably counts as dumb.

I signed on to the utopia in which machines do all the noxious physical labor, leaving humans free for their choice of personal or intellectual pursuits. I am getting the dystopia where machines replace all human intellectual effort with rehashes of past human creativity....

My wife is in her dream job right now, and it is one that robots and AI could not do until our machine overlords learn some gorram empathy.
