And related games - Call of Cthulhu was the one I have direct experience with. But I know it's also involved in Pendragon. Another Fantasy Games Unlimited game. Probably some cross-pollination.

Trouble is, the drugs Langdon is stealing that we hear about are all sedatives/hypnotics like Librium and Ativan/Lorazepam. They'd be more likely to be the cause of him calming down by the middle of the day.

Honestly, I think that just underscores problems with Reddit and Tumblr denunciation culture. Santos is overconfident and arrogant (not that unlike the surgeons on the show, particularly Garcia who would rather bury her head in the sand than deal with thorny problems), BUT she reports an actual...

Right. It strikes me as more of a recipe for uniting the rest of the world against America rather than with America. The constructed aliens really would be the external threat rather than the FO part of FAFO on America's part that Dr. Manhattan might be.

That's why you calculated it once for each of the sizes your power allowed you to reach when you finalized your power set. Then, you only had to do it again if something changed one of your relevant stats - which generally only happened at level-up if you trained to increase your strength...

As is being made abundantly clear from this thread.

This is a big load of horse manure. In order to “not take sides”, one of those sides demands exclusion and that means… taking that side. And let’s face it, exclusion is not a moral side to take. We never needed segregated lunch counters, buses, or water fountains in the Jim Crow days. We don’t...

Not really the same thing. The youtubers don't all work for the same corporation - youtube is just a medium for transmission of entirely independent people. Individual Pinkerton employees, however, represent the same company and the reputation of that company transfers down to the individual...

There are games with options like that… games that aren’t D&D. And that’s fine. D&D is doesn’t need to do it the way other games do it and other games don’t need to do it like D&D does.

That depends on what you’re doing. Some things work fine with pass/fail, some with varying degrees of success. Brennan Lee Mulligan has made some excellent uses of degrees of success when judging skills in D&D (for example, DC 10 gets you something, DC 15 gets you something more, DC 20 gets you...

Some characters can be pretty simple and others ferociously complex depending on the builds (variable power pools and substantial limitations I’m looking at you here), so a lot of complexity can be avoided or even embraced at the player’s build discretion. But that higher end sure isn’t for newbs.

But it pretty much IS necessary or is at least highly supportive for inclusivity. SOMETHING has to give. I like the older, classic use of humanoids, but I recognize MY ATTACHMENT to that as a part of the game HAS TO GIVE WAY for the good of the game. That’s the adult thing to do here. I can...

Most things in the US are, by European context, comparatively recent history. Fun fact, Wyatt Earp of OK Corral fame died less than 100 years ago in 1929... which happens to be just the year before my aunt was born.

Along with the other answers people have given, sometimes an urban entity as big as New York City is so big and varied that it's hard to conceptually grasp it all at once - particularly for people who live in it. Outsiders or those of us living in American Flyover Country can always just kind of...

We're not using the potion miscibility table that got re-inserted into 5e.2024.

George Bernard Shaw is also a good namer. Examples include: Mr. Sartoius Lickcheese Roebuck Ramsden Mendoza Bluntschli Dr. Blenkinsop Redpenny Admiral Sir Bemrose Hotspot Sir Dexter Rightside

It's not even slightly difficult for a PC to get strength 20 - PCs are not your average Joe.

Clem Burke, drummer for Blondie, has died of cancer. He was 70. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/clem-burke-blondie-drummer-dead-obituary-1235311703/ It had to be cancer because there was no way some cardio thing was ever going to take him out...

That definitely crossed my mind.

And another big factor - time. It takes time to shift operation to the US, even if someone wanted to do so. And even more time for it to have much of an impact in the American economy. Part of that time would be the jockeying around politicians would do to pitch offers to get the employment in...
