There are people in this world for whom their social world is currently in a state of contraction. The game might be their major passtime. Or only. I personally have very few friends at age 58; my social circle has contracted greatly over the past decade. But that doesn’t bother me much...

All resources are finite. Too many boats in an area can make it worse for everyone. It’s hard to do commercial fishing where people are swimming or water skiing…and vice versa. Hell, you can’t even have a whole bunch of the same kinds of boats in the same area without causing problems-...

One perception of the blossoming of a wide variety of options is it’s a de-emphasis on what YOU like. Even in major cities, it may be hard to find a group that plays what you like how you like. And this is especially true if you’re not online or in a game-shop desert. When M:tG first hit the...

Both can be true.

I’m thinking that they perceive those things as a threat in some way.

Mod Note: You’ve been a part of ENWorld’s since 2013; you have no excuse for disregarding the site’s “No politics” rule so flagrantly, in such particular, explicit detail. You could have easily pointed to the issue with generalities. But here we are. Don’t do this again.

At one point, I contemplated “doing voices” for AI/robotic/cybernetic/power armor etc. PCs & NPCs using some tech I had on hand from my guitar-playing hobby. Namely, I have: A TEAC microphone from the 1970s A Korg Pandora Px4 or Px5 portable digital modeler A battery operated desktop-sized...

Cast irony, in all likelihood. Tangentially: just remember that just because it’s the pot calling the kettle black, it does not follow that the kettle isn’t black.

Recently saw this done in an episode of Grantchester. A character who was actually British had adopted a foreign accent to seem more exotic. The accent got dropped in the interrogation room.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes burdensome. I was in a whimsical mood DMing one campaign, in which someone Awakened a large lizard, and…I used an Elvis impression for its voice. The group never tired of it.

Marcie Free has died. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/beloved-rock-singer-dies-71-040637485.html

Harry Turtledove’s Darkness novels are in all ways a fantasy version of WWII, down to some pretty esoteric details. (His day job is as a history professor.)

The main singer reminds me of Murray Head.

JEALOUS!

I was just thinking if Zeno were alive today, his favorite lyric in all of rock & roll would be from Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer”: Whoa, we're half way there…

I used to like Ranch, but after a few years of ubiquity, I almost entirely stopped eating it. Now, it’s only a dip for things like fried appetizers (mushrooms, zucchini, onions). Sorry, I take a Germanic approach and eat it like schnitzel. Specifically, with a brown or mushroom gravy, and...

Not to intentionally flatter you, but… Sometimes, it’s about the attractiveness of the salesperson. “Car show girls” exist for a reason. In my own life, my paternal grandfather- peeved by my preferentially casual wardrobe- once took me shopping for dress shirts at Maison Blanche in NOLA. (I...
