    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Have you seen Martin Scorsese's Goncharov? It's my favorite of his films.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh, and if you can convince the township to reduce the minimum size of properties, like in my town, then you can put two huge houses on postage-stamp properties, and charge more! Charge $800K for houses in a $500K neighborhood. Oh, you won't sell them, but they will force up the value of your...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    A soon as a home goes up for sale in my neighborhood, the bank buys it, tears it down, and builds a new one which stands empty. They are excellent tax writeoffs. Especially since the practice constrains the supply of new homes, keeping prices high. Highly recommended! Uh, if you're a bank, I guess.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Squadron Sinister was Marvel, who were probably too big to easily threaten. Champions of Angor looks like it was DC.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The Acquisition Tango. Once DC won the lawsuit, they were sitting pretty. The courts had pretty much said, anybody who was sufficiently Superman-like was an infringement, and by that point every comics company had tried their hand at a knockoff. So, there was a great sell-off, with DC acquiring...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, of course you guys didn't have a great time. You blocked the door to the interior, that was where the Overnight Surprise was supposed to come from! You have to have the Surprise, it's not the authentic experience without it!

    If you rub a sliced onion on your dice, they roll better. That's not my opinion, that's just facts! Science!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The most powerful superhero character I ever ran in one of my games was Ordinary Guy. He had the singular power of being able to take out of his backpack anything that he might conceivably put into it. The group needs some sort of climbing rig? He can pull it out of his backpack. "How did that...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think the architect who built the hotel I last stayed at with my wife and daughter also designed the Shandor Building. If so, no notes -- everything functioned as (apparently) designed!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I just think it's time ENWorld went back to is roots. In other words, it should be only about D&D3.0. Nothing before or later.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I shan't be doing that. I debated with myself a lot before posting it (... in the wrong place...) and it's not going to change anyone's mind there. I'll just be another voice airing my opinions. It's the Internet. Truth is... the game was rigged from the start.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think there's a disconnect between "GM fiat" and "the GM's job" (understanding that it's not actually a job, of course). If I-as-GM describe a town, and they player says, "I'm going to go to the market to buy angel feathers," it's just my "job" to decide if there's a market. If I decide based...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Some writers have lost sight of the "punk" aspect of the various "*punk" genres. I never liked the "Corpo" archetype in Cyberpunk 2020. I tried to play one once, and my GM never knew how to involve me. You have to immediately disengage the Corpo from their place in the hierarchy. They can't be...
