Gonzo the Great charges in, demanding his chicken back.

• Loner as my all-purpose multitool. • QuestWorlds for intensely story and genre focused play with a notch more detail than Loner. And I’d use it to run settings deeply engraved in my memory, like Wraith and VtM. Third is probably some kind of historical fantasy. Prince Valiant or Pendragon...

These are excellent things to add. Thanks. The transition is probably going to be hard, with regrets and frustration and impulses to stop and go back, if the thing you’re giving up has been a significant part of your identity. “Good to do” and “easy to do” don’t k ow each other, and the change...

I’ve been reviewing everything I know about stress reduction lately, since I’m having problems with critically bad cardiac conditions and have to be doing all I can on all fronts. One is relevant to both dining and gaming. If it’s wildly unlikely that you will ever have fun with something, get...

Thanks for the overview, @jian Do you particularly recommend any?

No, between caring for Mom and her Alzheimer’s and my own growing pile of health problems, it hasn’t been possible. Book of Oblivion development was my exit.

My advice: if it would overall fun and satisfaction, do it. Going out on a happy note is good. I’d not, don’t. Going out without more unrewarding grind for the sake of maintaining standing is also good.

I am sure that anonymity is overrated as a source of trouble. Look at Facebook. Many many people gladly say horrible things with their names attached. As for the real person, I love the discussion of that by historian Eric Foner in the introduction to his book The Fiery Trial, which is about...

Strange women lying on BBEGs is no basis for a system of government.

Let he who is without sin win initiative.

It took me a long time to fully grasp the phenomenon across very different venues, but…griefing is fundamentally parasitical. Yeah, there are groups that have fun preying on each other repeatedly over time. But it seems that for a lot (most?) people inclined to play rat bastards, it’s most fun...

You can’t have a solution because you are not the right sort of person. You don’t display the proper tribal markers. Therefore I know it cannot work and must dismiss you as a mere hooligan.

I, um, am not unacquainted with doing that at the library.

If you do, I hope you get to enjoy it more this time around.

Clearly not true fo the vast majority of humanity’s existence. We’re biased by writing and durable artifacts. (This is of course a stance oblivious to things like other people existing here and now and concerned about the world they exist in and will exist in in the future, and about the world...

Intriguing. I’ll have to check that out.

Yeah. And, at least on the channels I’ve looked at, going directly from one episode to the next without any break at all is kind of weird.

I have the same feeling, @Nikosandros If they add a digital option, I’ll be on it.
