That’s probably the most common reason for that particular behavior.

Essentials: 1) HERO 4th, 5th or 6th 2) D&D 3.5Ed 3) any one of Traveller, Deadlands, Space: 1889, Paranoia, V:tM, Mage: the Ascension, or RIFTS HERO lets me play anything. 3.5Ed is my favorite iteration of D&D. The rest? Each holds a special place in my heart as either a game in and of...

I enjoy any good streak prepared between Bleu and Medium Rare. I will accept medium.

It is neither tarrying or running. It is plain that it is not a soldier by its haphazard way of walking. It does not seem to be joking loudly or singing as it advances.

I have seen many a dog raised by cats- including in our own household. Ours mimicked the grooming behaviors and definitely deferred leadership to the boss cat. The funniest of them all, however, was a friend’s red Dobie (60+ lbs) raised by a pair of smallish cats (both under 10 lbs). Not only...

Nope.

I don’t know if I’d like that or not*, but having read this, I’d certainly ask for a slice out of spite. * jalapeños can vary greatly in quality

Y’all did NOT disappoint. Thanks!

It’s currently 81degF where I am. I’m running errands and going to appointments today, and 15 days before Halloween, I’m seeing signs for Christmas display installation services. I get it: they HAVE to start scheduled appointments now, but it made me think. Given that Christmas south of the...

I joined a gaming group and was a member for 3-4 years. But there was one guy who never warmed up to me. He was never overtly rude to me, with the exception that he never shook my hand. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I figured it out when he missed a couple sessions for “militia training”.

@Aeson We have looked at Life Alert, and it’s a good service that costs less than a Watch. But Mom’s not a fan. The shallow reason is that their gear doesn’t look good, and wouldn’t work well with her carefully cultivated aesthetics. But with the extra $$$ for the Apple Watch, you get a LOT...

We’re very close to getting my Mom an Apple Watch to wear around the house. Lots of emergency safety features on those, including an automatic call to emergency services if the wearer falls and doesn’t respond to the watch’s alerts. Short of that, I’m trying to find a lanyard-style phone...

I saw something like this happen in my law school Contracts class. The student offering a solution to a particular problem was one of the brightest in the class- he’s currently a federal appeals court judge. Thing is, the prof was one of the sharpest minds of HIS era…and he wasn’t...

Damn! If they think they can help you, find a way to make it work. My Mom will be 80 in a few months, and that’s what really makes her seem old.

What if some mountains came out of the sky and…just stood there? If Snarf were in your group, you could just have every exit surrounded by Bards.

THIS! Anything around me may be transmogrified into my creative processes for something else. In the RPG realm alone, I’ve had characters and campaigns based on: 1) Songs by Tony Iommi, Queensryche, BÖC, Yes, Follow For Now, and others 2) miniatures I’ve collected. 3) art & photos I’ve...

My Dad used an honor system for leave & sick days in his business. And he tried a time clock for a month before turning it into a paperweight. His employee turnover was extremely low.

Have done. The clearest examples I can think of were buying GURPS Martial Arts (G:MA) and a slew of RIFTS & other Palladium books, including one of arms & armor. TECHNICALLY, I owned a GURPS 2Ed core rulebook and ran some RIFTS. But I had the GURPS core book because I was in a group that...
