It's probably wrong of me, but I so want you to follow this up with, "...and that's how they got together. They've been married now for 11 years."

Gretchen, what have we discussed?

I think the character point system 'works best' when it is declared as being an artificial economy meaning you can't take everything and curb any other inferences as much as possible. I feel it works best for introducing a group to the system, and the inevitable min-maxxer showing where it...

We've all been through this rigmarole before, and we've all delt with unclear appeals to authority. It is not our job to sort through another 250 page thread to figure out where you are getting your numbers, or what numbers they actually are. What are the two things you are comparing, and...

They kind of remind me of the Weisman Art Museum (which I love, but would not want to drive to work every day). I guess that means to me they seem more Deconstructivist, which seems appropriate given their safety record and recalls.

To me, they just look like someone from some time ago's idea of what 'futuristic' things would look like. Like, apparently the original Transformers cartoon movie from 1986 was set in 2005, and had transformers that turned into 'modern for 2005' vehicles, and their idea about what that would...

Apparently that is the case. She turned down a full time role and instead Keiko became a recurring character. I get it -- regardless of how much you like the biz, full time scripted tv shows of that era were 100+ hr/week jobs, and I believe she had young children at the time. Chao certainly did...

Having spent two decades or more in the sobriety community, my perspective is that I'm not convinced there's a 'real' person. There's the person at their lowest; the person at their highest; the person where there are no consequences; the person where there are plenty of consequences; the person...

We've been playing an ongoing campaign weekly since the book came out. Setting-wise, the world is wildly imaginative, exciting, and IMO the primary draw of the game. It's also loose enough in interpretation that you can readily make it your own -- if your group wants the cactus-people to be...

As usual: please list out the settings that do not qualify (because they are covered in the video). Do not expect everyone to watch a separate video to answer your question. That said, consider Taladas -- the world of Dragonlance, but an alternate continent with a lava-filled lake in the...

Chef being a IRL background (at least to the same level as entertainer or noble is) I can certainly get behind. Chef the feat (minus the attribute bonus) being something a PC starts with... I don't see a specific reason not to. I suspect it likely that a huge number of people would pick up...

In all honesty, I have never had a problem with "'dead' now means 'defeated.' You are unconscious (and normal in-system ways of getting back on your feet when unconscious will not work). Your survival now depends on the context of where and how you dropped." I don't see people whine. I don't see...

And 40 more pages devoted to adjudicating 'fault.'

If this is all a cosmic misunderstanding, then I am sorry this has happened and I'm sorry you feel singled out. That said, your turn of phrase absolutely mirrored, for example, those clickbait articles that popped up when 1I/ʻOumuamua passed through our solar system back in 2017 (which tried to...

Not mine, but there's a similar interpretation of the Monkee's "Last Train to Clarksville" where Clarksville is Clarksville, TN, just outside of Fort Campbell, and the narrator '[doesn't] know if I'm ever coming home' because he's going to be shipped out to Vietnam. Apparently that line is a...

And here I thought someone was experiencing growth. Foolish me for being optimistic.

You make your jokes too long. Here, let me shorten it: "A bard and his 3 irresponsible companions arrive in heaven..."

I generally approach it as 'they genuinely remember playing by the rules in the book.' Firstly, as you say, memory. But even then, my interpretation is then that they tried to play by the rules (that they were aware of) when they showed up. No one noticed the rules for checking for exception...

Preemptive note: every time I try to get caught up on this thread, more posts arrive than I can get through before being called away. I'm going to address the OP and comment on some posts I've seen. It may all well be wildly out of date to the primary discussion at this point. I'm also going to...

Here and elsewhere.
