You know, I used to think that way, then got laid off from my job of 17 years with 2 weeks severance, so... I no longer think that way.

I like to hold up the PHB and DMG before a new group and say, "I haven't read these. Why are you? Let's play to find out what happens!" Always throws them off from their expectations!

Yeah, my current company is much smaller. When I took two weeks off at this one, I only came back to 150+ emails, and 5 "missed calls/meetings".

I eremember when I worked for a bigger company, took a week off and came back to over 1400 emails, 500 messages, and 20 "emergency" calls.

And that's just Pumpkin Spice Pizza! Different cultures have different perfectly valid preferences! Of course, "perfectly valid" doesn't mean you have to, uh, appreciate the taste...

You've heard of a Hawaiian Pizza? This is a New Zealand. Everybody try to be open- minded about other cultures! /s

Yeah, but that was before Merle Rasmussen defined the agency profile format, so they didn't get defined in that format officially. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing Top Secret agency profiles for both, but it might have been on the old Modus-Operandi.co.uk forums, which are long gone. They had a...

I put that in because that's the most egregious thing a person can say, in my opinion. I try not to judge people at all, but when somebody says it in my presence, I immediately feel like I can put that person in a category of people I don't care to interact with.

Dude! It's water under the bridge, dude! Bygones! Come on! I need more Facebook contacts to increase engagement numbers! to a side group of friends Look how red he's getting!

I got a lot of mileage out of the Dragon damage article. I enjoyed the Mutant Manual, and the one Gamma World session I ever ran, I got to use the Dracs, which was nice. Authentic Agencies -- I never ran Top Secret, but I loved these articles for my modern games including James Bond 007. The...

Listen, I only get 5 days off every year, whether sick days or vacation days. So, yes, I'm going to come in when I'm sick, because the alternative is that I never get to destress. Ever.

That makes a lot of sense! I'd missed that in my first read- through. Thanks! I'm hoping by having the Carnival teach the players the Rules of Faerie I can head that off. Everything has a cost, but that applies to fairies as well as mortals.

Making a mental note that @Whizbang Dustyboots is anti-corporate and therefore against the American Way...

I realized I let this lapse. I got sidetracked by Real Life stuff, and the holiday season is upon us so I anticipate further derailings later, but I'm still working on my materials. I also realized @Umbran ran a WBW campaign that ended earlier this year. Do you have any guidelines? Things you...

Hopefully not! @Morrus made a new rule!

New Thread Idea: The title is just "What do you think about this YouTube video?" and links to a video complaining in somewhat abstract terms about another video, but you can't quite understand what it's about so you follow the link to the video it's complaining about, and that video is also a...
