The 2 campaigns I did the most work on that have never even been CLOSE to being run are a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting for 3.5Ed and one based on M:tG using HERO as the mechanical underpinnings.

D&D-style? The Fantasy Trip for something simple, beer & pretzel style or HERO for the Full Monty. Sci-Fant? Shadowrun or Star Wars D20. Sci-fi? Traveller or Prime Directive.

In August, WC announced it’s opening its firstTexas location sometime next year. Not far from me, but not close, either.

I haven’t seen a White Castle in person in 30+ years.🙁

For several years, there was a chiropractor a few miles from my home that had window signage claiming to treat all kinds of things, including infectious diseases and cancer.🫤 OTOH, for 20+ years, we used a vet who was also a main lecturer at a local chiropractic school. He didn’t use...

I’m with you on all of that except burritos.🤷🏾‍♂️ There used to be a sandwich chain called The Hip Pocket which used pitas as their only bread. They used large, thick ones, sliced in half with the contents stuffed in the pocket. A generous amount of shredded iceberg and some sliced tomatoes...

I understand the sentiment, but don’t belittle your own burdens.

Hmmmm… BurgerTech? MunchWarrior? Star Meat Battles? G.E.V. (Ground Effect Vealcle)?

I remember an Israeli pharmaceutical researcher was doing some really important work on potential uses for the chemicals in marijuana back in the 1990s. When he was asked about the American medical marijuana movement, he laughed his ass right off. (Seriously, the “thump” was audible, even over...

TIL!

I’d say the secrets for complex burgers are balance and compatibility. Some burgers I’ve had absolutely scream for a goodly amount of leafy greens. Others would be ruined by having any at all. The only Wagyu burger I had probably would have been worse with anything besides a single condiment...

That describes one of our locations to a T. We drive to one slightly farther away to avoid that. However, the last time I was in THAT one, they were NOT having a good day.

I love a good pretzel, almost regardless of form. (I just bought some hand-sized ones from a local German bakery today.) A bakery van used to drive across the American base we lived on in Germany, and we’d get a bunch of their long rolls (6”-8”, as I recall)- best thing for a ham & Swiss...

Marshal Kneeland has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/dallas-cowboys-marshawn-kneeland-dies-rcna242340

Best burger for me came from an Irish Pub in Irving, Tx. They made theirs with Guinness. Unfortunately, the owner had a…loose relationship with the law, and he closed his pub the day after St. Patrick’s. (Without paying his past-due rent, taxes, etc.) As for making & storing them at home, I...

That’s a good one, and would probably fit the visual aesthetic of the source material marginally better than something like the Winged template.

To be fair, a goodly chunk of at least the old pharmaceuticals are just refined and precisely measured versions of old folk/herbalist remedies. Their processing efforts make it much easier to get to therapeutic dosages safely while reducing risks of accidental overdoses or interactions with...

As mentioned, most of the time I eat a burger, it’s a single patty- typically 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound. But one of the better burger places near me, that’s a “Lady” burger- their regular ones are 1/2 lb (and broad, not tall). And honestly, this dude might start ordering the smaller ones. As...

I’d say it is a burger, but it’s also a P.I.T.A. 😜

I prefer single patties over doubles; broad over tall. I have enjoyed non-meat burgers, but have had minor allergic reactions to all of them with the exception of straight-up large portobello mushroom caps. I’ve enjoyed a bunch of different toppings and condiments on my burgers and burger...
