I think the reciprocal ignore is itself also a choice. Unless the feature has changed, it's up to the ignorer if they want to become invisible to whoever they're blocking. I believe the intended use case for two-way Ignore is to shut down stalking, but how people actually use it is up to them...

My takeaway is that the tariffs are a major cause of those sucky logistics issues:

FGU still sells some titles in print, and I think (?) they may even have some material in active development. They recently re-released Bushido in print, and I picked up a full set of Flashing Blades in hardcopy from them a few months ago. Link to FGU: https://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net/ .

I didn't see it posted here yet, so apologies if this is a repeat. Here's the note sent by the Exalted Funeral regarding the Dolmenwood kickstarter: First the link for those who can access the Kickstarter page directly...

I mean, I agree. Literally the only difference of opinion i have is equating "aloneness" with "specialness". We don't need to divine some weird mystical purpose for our existence on the off chance we learn definitively that we are the only one. It's just a fluke, no more or less strange than if...

Yes, i know. That's my point.

The old PSA campaign, 40 years later....

That's the big question, i suppose. If the observations suggest that the greater universe is infinite in extent (and I defer to your astrophysics expertise over mine!), then I can't argue your reasoning there. But I wonder: are "all outcomes of evolution" finite, and able to fit in the...

Fwiw, here's a link to a more science-y article on the topic: https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/skepticism-greets-claims-of-a-possible-biosignature-on-a-distant-world/

(That's kind of my point.)

I would never suggest anything of the sort!

Sure, given enough time in enough places, civilization might be a certainty. But does anyone really know if that cosmic scale is "big enough" compared to the scale of all potential possibilities of evolution? If the likelihood of the evolution of civilization:life is smallish like 1:1000 or...

To be sure, to be alone wouldn't necessarily mean we're "special". We're working from a single data point, so we really have no idea what "special" even means. I mean, if civilization is "certain," then surely it's valid to claim that there must be something "special" about civilization, right...

Heck, as far as anyone knows, there's nothing that requires that "civilization" - much less "technologically advancing civilization interested in space exploration" - is a necessary outcome of life. That's not how evolution works.

This. There's 25 years of stuff out there under OGL: some in active development, some abandoned; some D&D, and some completely different systems and/or genres.

The more defects I discover about house he more I suspect that the seller, the real estate agents, and the inspectors were all cousins.

That's good to know. I know they backtracked when they brought it up, but it wasn't clear to me how much of that was "legal reasons" versus "bad PR."

"Final Expulsion" sounds like an amazing cult 1980's action flick.

As long as they just don't resurrect talk of revoking the OGL again. Not sure what it would entail, but just some sort of explicit assurances regarding the OGL would be nice, especially for the sake of retaining the "openness" of orphaned OGC, and for the sake of active rpg communities using...
