My long term sunday night game is online, running 19:30 to 00:00 Pacific most weeks. Sometimes, we run to 01:00, and rarely, to 01:30. At times, we started earlier by an hour. But EO doesn't get off work until 17:00 AkT (18:00 Pacific), and needs time to drive home. It's 55 minutes or so for him...

Has it gone to an appellate court in the US yet? If not, then whether it's enforceable or not is a potentially unlawful clause in the click-thrugh contract.

They benefit from what little liability they would have for the unprovided material paid for. No guarantee there. Less harmed? Sure. I doubt the payback will be adjusted for inflation. Hell, I have doubts if it will even hit the contributors contributions. So, not the real CSIO.

Kicking them off the internet is technologically possible. In the US, it's not legal. Something about free speech rights. The right exercised to say they should be ostracized is the very same right they exploit to spread their message of hate. EnWorld does kick them off the boards... when they...

Note that many companies in the medical space are putting product information of FAT32 formatted ROMs, on a very thin USB, roughly 12×2×25mm (the tongue of the type A plug). My last CPAP and my glucometer both shipped with such. The stick itself lacks the ground shield, but fits snugly in a USB...

Bigotry has always been present in societies. The US, for example, never has done away with it... it's just been hidden. The KKK still exists, still has new recruits. The Aryan Nations — both it's club-like aspect and it's purported church — are still present.

WotC is not doing well per their corporate overlord at HasBro. Something about needing more licensing deals needed to make D&D profitable again...

bought fantasia ultima natural fantasy atlas... the had the Alien evolved KS drop betas for all three components...

It appears the person doing the licensing is Aaron Bledsaw, not Rob Bledsaw II. It's quite plausible that Aaron might not share Bob II's derangement.

I've had players play canon characters in a non-canon one-shot once; it's a default mode for Marvel games. The "Yes" really is a couple more levels... Star characters as PCs PCs as equals to Star Characters PCs as Rivals to Star Characters PCs as subordinates of the Star Characters. I wonder...

Not always. Several sites wait for the next business day before emailing a link; fewer now than in the 00's. Others, such as mongoose, it's not that long (usually under an hour)... but it's still less immediate than the FLGS. And then the crowdfunding. It's a month or two before I'll see the...

probably. Me. Well, not whist itself, but several derivatives... Euchre, bridge, hearts, spades...

A thought on why Star Wars works for me: 1) I let the PCs make wins just shy of the saga mains, often directly supporting saga mains. 2) I tend to allow Clone Wars level cinematic 3) I let players work for series secondaries of note. Both WEG and FFG really enable 1 & 2...

I don't mind abridged rules, but prefer full. I don't mind a short starter adventure, but I prefer several. (Modiphius' STA one has 3; all the FFG starters had follow-ups in PDF; the pair for L5R took typically 4-8 sessions to get through both. Lost Mine of Phandelver was very well regarded...

So my sunday Jackals game - Last session, Philon had inspired the crowd to do a pitch invasion at the circus and tear apart the popular-but-subversive (and Set-worshipping) foreign charioteer. They'd used magic subtly to let the local boy win... and the Foreigner had realized this... So, Philon...

Don't give up hope... I've had a lot of players who had no problems; while the issue you've had is not unique, I've had only 3 players who couldn't get out of the "must play the setting mains" mode. Of about 50 who have played either WEG or FFG with me over the decades. Also, if you want the...

I found my sweet spot at WEG 2.0, until FFG released. Probably my two most played RPGs, with D&D 5e and D&D Cyclopedia being a bit behind them. All into the > 400 sessions run range. Of those four, I'm only willing to run again two: FFG and WEG 2.0 Star Wars. (Tho' I could easily be convinced...

Favorite memory: Running the other, offscreen, part of the Battle of Yaavin: the other 4 squadrons taking out the fighter wing of the death star so that the assault group can hit the trench... (rules hybrid of WEG 2.0, SWMB.) Second most favorite: Nara Nara Binks going crazy with a repeating...

Mine as well. But having played FTF with these scenery chewers, I miss being able to read their expressions. We only sometimes use a VTT... and haven't used video chat because one of them lives in an area where that bandwidth is too much - he has trouble with voice if it's not a sunny day. In...

There are plenty of people who'd love a WEG based Star Wars still... and since LFL owns the copyrights... which is how FFG was able to reprint the WEG 1e core and sourcebook. If the licensee made a good enough case, the WEG rules could easily make a comeback. If one doesn't need them with...
