All I'm saying is, I would absolutely download a car if I could.

" That's, like, your opinion, man." - John Maynard Keynes, probably idk

You'll note that my post never actually commented one way or the other as to the merits, or supremacy of any system (not becuase I don't wanna have a good internet argument, but because I don't want to tread too hard on the no politics rule). I simply pointed out the unambigious and objective...

That's 100% true. But also extremely reductive. What's also true is that capitalism is explicitly designed to exploit the many for the benefit of the few. You can have your quote be true without also designing an economic system to explicitly do that very thing as a feature, right?

The blockchain is a solution to a problem that does not exist. "What if we utilize the blockchain to do financial transactions, only far slower and consuming vastly more amounts of energy in the process" is an example. Eventually they'll figure out that when nobody is working, nobody can buy...

Right. I think it's dependent on what kind of theme/mood you're going for. If this is sort of a Dying Earth/Conan thing where sorcerers are all evil and there's hooded cultists with curved daggers around every corner and you're chilling at the courts of chaos at 1st level, then the magic...

Yeah, agreed. The community did what they were supposed to do, they voted and raised the point of improper votes and the committee ignored them. That's on the organization to fix.

That's the thing, though. In the report they insinuate right at the beginning that alot of the votes for China had just email addresses and no physical addresses attached to them as well, which is the norm. I don't think they have proof that there was some vote pumping here, but I think that's...

Yeah, I was just making a dumb South Park reference.

I mean, I guess? I don't quite understand what your broader point is. Every game makes mechanical choices about how aspects of the game function that will cause groups to choose another game or not based on their preferences. What causes one group to bounce off of something is a killer feature...

Science fiction books are often and most famously, at least in some way, about the dangers of authority in the wrong hands and run amok in some fashion. Therefore it follows that the first step to holding a convention about these works is to hold them in an authoritian country that censors...

I think this is a good point. I'm a strong DCC cheerleader, but yeah, even I don't like it for long campaigns. It really shines in short to medium term play.

IIRC there's a table in the book showing you how to simulate the dice with normal polyhedrals.

I mean, the king of reading terribly but being fun to play has to be OD&D, right? Or is that too obvious?

It's been getting worse and worse. I just want to go and grow my own wheat and live in a cabin in the woods.

Fair! I've been playing from launch and in my experience new players really want to play a funnel and I don't blame them. It's a super cool concept! But in practice? Players get to determine marching order of their four level 0 dudes. So 9/10 times, who survives? The guy they like the best at...

I find the inherent nature of spells in DCC to be a feature and not a bug. Given the huge variance in effect, further modified by mercurial magic, makes no two wizards the same. But more importantly, for me, it makes a high level wizard a questionable occurence. Like, if you've made it to level...

Typical degen gnome behavior.

Yeah it's really wild. He's moving his way through different scenes grifting as he goes. I was going through some old RPGs at a comic book store recently and came across his name on some T4 stuff. Kinda wild to think that forever ago he was sort of a normal non-scammy game guy. Kinda like Nystul.
