We have the tech to build O’Neal style colonies, capture or move asteroids into LaGrange points, or build a ship with a spin section. It would be expensive but could be done and mining the asteroid and turning it into a habitat could be lucrative.

i think 5e skills are boring too. I preferred 3e/PF1e system. PCs generally had more skills and granularity and I like assigning points. They also grew better. I dislike the flat prof bonus for skills in 5e.

The US exempted computer parts. Unless China is adding fees on parts they make to export, then those parts are not subject to the 145%. Smartphones, computers, chips, etc were exempted.

Most publishers have moved to cloud storage via AWS etc. I see very few continue to create or host their own server farms.

Electronics and computer parts were exempted.

My wife and I were just discussing last night how we felt betrayed by season 2. We spent season 1 building up the meeting of the heroes and then it all fell apart and they separated again. We wanted to see them become actual superheroes and start teaming up etc!

If a thread explodes, I will read the last 2-3 pages to see what people are currently discussing.

Or employ a good statistician or methodologist when designing your study. The same goes for grant review. I run team that peer reviews grant-funded research and we are constantly begging the funder to allow us to start peer reviewing their protocols so that the studies we get have fewer flaws...

They still teach humanities but the rigor is gone and most of the critical thought is missing. From what I see, they teach mechanics like diagramming a sentence/ the 5 paragraph essay or they teach short form writing but longer research and thinking critically seems absent. I see a lot of folks...

This is learned or taught behavior though. People are being told that they have a right to their happiness and that compromise is bad. Compromise should lead to a place where both parties can live and be happy with the outcome. People should not live expecting that they must get their way to...

Many scientists have fundamental ignorance of good methodology or statistics. I work in STM peer review and your would not believe that studies that arrive with fundamental methodological issues. We point it out in peer review, but by the time the data arrives, it is already too late to course...

I agree. Humanities has gotten worse over the years and no longer emphasizes critical thinking or analysis. I grew up being constantly told to examine your beliefs and to constantly examine and critique your arguments. It's funny, my bosses just sold their company and they are employees now and...

I stopped being a DM for games that do not interest me. I spent years running games because I felt it was my duty to ensure that my friends were happy and got to play. It was constantly burning me out. It is like having a bunch of friends where you are the only person keeping the friendship...

I never played in older edition games where characters die over and over again. It was a running joke in most groups to create backup characters but it was a meme. You hate it when you feel that people mischaracterize 4e even when they are giving their opinion and argue that the opinion is...

This. I will continue to support my current companies such as EN Publishing, Free League, MCG, Goodman, TLG. I may look into getting a Royal Mail site in the UK to batch shipping etc if the costs become prohibitive. Gaming keeps my somewhat sane even if I only read the material.

Hanover, PA is my normal location for books and journals.

Sheridan Press.

What printer quoted you that price? My 1000 print run HC textbook runs around $7.50/copy and that is 500 pages in full color gloss.

I disagree. I can find players no matter the system. Why, you may ask? Because I am running the game and most people will play whatever the DM chooses to run because they’d rather play than DM a game.
