This is fascinating to follow, @Ryujin

I’d go for it if the count started after N rests (like 2) per 8 hours or some such. Systems with rests designed in should let PCs do some resting without penalty. After that, fire it up.

Here’s part of an obscure one, Thomas Wilbrandt and his Electric V album.

Thank you for your contribution, and please be sure to send us pics as you travel to Hell. :)

No. Plate tectonics took it away.

In addition to the PKD adaptations I expect his fan to know about, like A Scanner Darkly, there’s a small but very good movie of Radio Free Albemuth with Dick as the protagonist. City of Lost Children is a jewel, though I tend to think of it as a fantasy. Dark City in the director’s cut is...

When you don’t win, you lose, with one O. When something isn’t tight or secure, it’s loose, with two OOs. When you are loose with your spelling, you lose. (A doomed and futile response to many threads here and everywhere. “Loose” seems to have become the dominant spelling of “lose” in the...

I have several of those really serious consideration for my list. Good choices.

It would be, except: how many D&D 5e threads can any of us point out that doesn’t have the same batch of usual suspects showing up to explain how 5e and/or WotC are doing it wrong and terrible the being doing this and those enjoying the results are, how miserable they’re making the lives of the...

The trick is, they do damage their health. It weakens their immune system and degrades cognitive functions, among other things. They seldom connect the hating their health problems, that’s all.

Who knew that sea lions are Van Halen fans?

That’s altogether delightful. Now I want a matching one of a bunch of dungeon dwellers partying in some big chamber.

Not that o think others’ choices suck, but I’ll go tap others for variety’s sake. 1. Strange Days. Bruce Sterling said the essence of cyberpunk is “the Street has its own uses for things”. In that spirit, this story of what’s gained and lost in a world where memories can be recorded and...

The movie isn’t very good, but their soundtrack for Wavelength is amazing.

Much sympathy, @Thomas Shey

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?
