AL room was 100%. I did not see anyone without a mask at any table I played at. I played in two games in Boardrooms. Those had 12 to 20 people playing at the big table. Maybe 50%. At the Traveller game table in Linwood, once the reminder came masks were on the rest of the time. No one...

The rules in WI do not require it. The Marriott I was at in downtown SF last week also does not require it. The Con could require masks in events areas but there never was a promise that the hotel would be masks only. The CDC guidelines say they are not required. Almost the entire country has...

He played in Professor Barker’s games for many years and did count him as a close friend. Another person that joined the games also played in that play group.

I played briefly in a campaign that Victor Raymond ran after an earlier online GaryCon. The campaign was really not for me (was billed as an intro to the world but I was the only one who had not played for years and the play sessions were deeply lore based in content and table discussion) but he...

Hotel staff was not reminding people - was GaryCon volunteers. AL room was 100% compliant and no need for reminders. I would say in any of the open rooms other than AL (I did not go into the Pathfinder Society room) it was 80%+ and 100% after a reminder was given. Dealer room was 100%...

The book addresses that as well. The training is made tough because it is meant to dissuade people trying for an easy ride to voting. Plus, they are actually in the military. Johnny also picked the MI which is one of the physically toughest choices. He was a star athlete, he felt up to the...

I disagree. His father (who later joined up when there was an actual war going on and his wife had been killed so was at least being consistent) was arguing that voting was not worth it and he was wasting his time joining the military as it interrupted his father’s plans for him to go to...

Yes. Federal service, actually, with military service being the prime one, but did not have to be military service. Also made it clear in the book that the protections of freedom applied to everyone regardless of if they completed federal service and the service to vote was available to...

It was an attempt at a scathing satire that unfortunately used a book that is completely anti-Fascist (was really a democracy / libertarian society vs. communists story) as the foundation. What happened is that you had really good looking actors saying well thought out dialog from the book with...

This is just the person who was leading the project marketing it under the conditions they pitched it and ran the project under. I don’t see any issue with what they set out to do and will let the work itself speak for itself when I see it. I can nitpick the advertising and the words (my...

I registered for events last week. I am a forever DM so I play only at GaryCon. Have a very nice mix of 5e, ASSH, DCC, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu games set up. If you are a silver badge holder, I see the that there is space in some Empire of the Petal Throne games being run by players from...

Yes. There is a small cadre of Magic players in the fund universe in the NYC area. And fairly common for CFOs to play board games or D&D. Looking at the Board slate, you can see that.

The “make the world better” activists commonly have resolutions added to the proxy for shareholder votes. Very rarely do these ever get passed and never seen where this helps the stock price. I also am not aware of these types of activists being large investors. (The counter proof to this is...

One thing is that today in a very red market, my Hasbro shares are doing well.

https://freethewizards.com/ Activists explaining their case.

The activist’s theory (and this is a common one) that the sum of the parts is worth less than two stand alone companies. That WoTC’s valuation is dragged down by the lower numbers for the rest of Hasbro and that without WoTC the rest of Hasbro would be forced to do better. The Board (and...

That it deliver what it advertises, so I can buy what I am looking for and not waste time and money (or both).

I have a basic issue of the critics assuming the mantle of all Asians (or Chinese or whatever) when we are talking about a Canadian guy from Toronto looking at it from their lens. I lived in China for 5 years and if you think the stereotypes are bad in OA, you should see the historical dramas...

I summarize the current issues with issues as conversations that used to pretty much only occur in colleges spilling over into social media where the level of discourse is raw and people discussing issues can be poorly matched in ability to express themselves. Under bright lights in public...

Dragon Heist is fine. Low level and set in a huge and famous city. Somewhat of a railroad but I think that is more a nod to having a cohesive adventure to play in such a big place. They also tried to bring in a decent number of of iconic FR characters. My current campaign (I think at the two to...
