Fearful Ends' mental stress cards are a cool improvement on this concept, IMO. I actually like that they give the player a bit more control in choosing how their character loses control and acts out, and fitting that to the character's personality, though the pacing of their descent is more in...

These are of a piece, and both pretty good. Except a glass of water with ice will also get cloudy if you shake it vigorously. Fun idea, though.

This could be a fun exercise to try once with a friend, but I know I'd regret it afterward.

"If I ever opened a trampoline store, I don't think I'd call it Trampo-Land, because you might think it was a store for tramps, which is not the impression we are trying to convey with our store. On the other hand, we would not prohibit tramps from browsing, or testing the trampolines, unless a...

This almost exactly. Moore was the current Bond when I was a kid, and I still have a soft spot for his humor and unflappability. Connery seemed cruder by comparison, but in retrospect was great. Craig acts circles around the both of them, but they're all good fun.

My back knot/pain relaxed enough that I was able to lift Thursday night, though I shifted my exercises a little to reduce the chance of aggravating it. Machine pec flies for four sets plus a couple of drop sets, machine biceps curl three sets plus a couple of drop sets, and three sets of...

If I spot a rules mistake mid-stream I'll normally point it out right then, regardless of whose favor it's in. Unless the particular GM or table has asked otherwise. GMs I've played with have usually appreciated the help. They've got enough on their plate and reducing rules lookups or...

This response is a non-sequitur and weirdly hostile. The ensuing decades have seen some of what Gibson predicted start to come true a bit. It's reasonable to note areas he and the movement missed on (at least so far).

Coincidentally I just was reading the AV Club this week for the first time in a long while, and enjoying some The Bear episode recaps. I don't do videojames, but hopefully this will be enjoyable for those who partake.

Knot in my upper/mid back still hurting. :/ I was planning to lift tonight. Oh well. I'm still keeping up the morning PT/core/lower body exercises, even if I'm slower and stiffer and groaning more.

Here in NH the classic is 40F in October or Nov = shivering and bundled. 40F in March = shirts off and hollering!

They're not invading anyone yet. :/

Interesting!

Eh. There may be varying levels of self-awareness and of subjective aesthetic preferences involved. They may have built what they thought was a competent but not over the top character within what they saw as a minimal level of self-imposed limitations and not felt until 6 or 10 sessions in...

I had some unaccustomed energy so I went back on a consecutive evening last night, intending to do pull and shoulders, but blanked and went into auto-pilot and did dumbbell bench, dumbbell inclined curls, and dumbbell skull crushers again. And then I did add three sets of cable row. I was...

Look, look, trying to buy clothes for all of Caldwell's underdressed heroines would be like trying to support all the single mothers and grad students at the gentlemen's club. We can only marry so many!

The typical way over-optimization is a problem is when a given character outshines other characters, and makes the players of those characters feel relatively ineffective by comparison. This impinges on their fantasy. When a given character is substantially more powerful than others in the...

There are a couple of clips of Gary talking about the game, including about winning and losing, in this recent short BBC piece. Closing with: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5yf6
