My great uncle lives in a town called Mountain Top in PA The whole area is lower elevation than the california state university east bay where I was at school. East coast people have a different definition of mountain.

While I think Netflix is still good for most people, I recently canceled my subscription because of my experience in trying to add my son as an extra user on my account. Add in that I actually was using their DVD service for shows that I couldn't get through the other services I have access to...

This is misinterpreting the Greed disadvantage significantly. The text says when riches are offered. Not when money is offered for anything. And it's relative to your wealth level so there is clear room on the amount of money that would indicate riches to someone. And it specifically calls...

I've had my online handle for a long time and in many discords in voice that's how I'm referred because we don't dox people with their real names unless everyone in the group agrees. When our discord server had a physical meet up people would still refer to me by my online handle because that's...

Standard rule Civilization was okay but the Advanced Civilization rules made the game much more interesting. If you like the trading rounds of Civilization look at Sidereal Confluence which is mostly just the trading round of Civilization with a little bit of tech buying and engine building. I...

Spaceward Ho! was a fantastic light 4x style game. Warlords series was a fun quick fantasy conquest game. There are a few games that are similar now but not with the same polish. I still play Puzzle Pirates which doesn't really have a successor.

Paranoia accurately describes the state the characters should be in

The 1945 Dick Tracy movie was good for its time and focus. I haven't seen most of the Republic serials.

Technically not really a school, but the So You Want To Be A Wizard series is fun.

I haven't been able to track down the books, and the world building in the show is interesting. Apparently 50 years before the start of the show ghosts started haunting the UK (and probably the world). Some children have talents of listening or sight and adults cannot see the ghosts at all...

Ghostbusters was built along the idea of the players being franchise operators. I think they did stat up the original characters but the goal wasn't to be those characters. Back to the original post, Dungeons and Dragons does three things well that contributes to it's success. 1. Player...

I have always liked the Citybook Series published by Flying Buffalo. Different businesses you can drop into your own cities if you need something and fairly easy to modify.

GURPS is deadly. Guns and crossbows are not to be laughed at unless you are armored.

Microtransactions are hugely profitable. There is a game I play that has both a subscription side and a microtransaction side and the microtransaction side generated at least three times the revenue of the subscription side. With a subscription you've capped the amount of money you are going to...

I think the answer to the question, "When they find a magic arrow of dragon slaying in Act One, will there be a Dragon in Act 3 to shoot at?" is more on the players. Having acquired an arrow of dragon slaying, will they start to go hunting dragons or sell it to someone who is hunting dragons...

One thing that I find missing from most of the recent published adventures is the true goal of most of the foes or NPCs the players encounter. It helps to know what levers the players could try to use to peacefully resolve the encounter. But too often there isn't anything the GM can use to...

Where do I sign up to bring back weapon speed modifiers? Such a great and crazy table. Or go full Rolemaster and a weapon chart for each weapon indexing the target armor type. (I know someone is going to say it so, I'm beating them to the punch. You never go full Rolemaster.)

In the first edition of Paranoia, you can only recover from vaporization if your name is Spock

I realized I missed the chance to spoil Spock dies and then gets better.

Yes these were all Bogart film spoilers because it was more interesting to spoil something without listing where it was from. I mean I could also spoil Oceans 11 where they don't get the cash. But that's the original movie.
