I can’t answer for anyone else, but with everything going on in recent years, I know my fuse is a LOT shorter. Most of my ignores have gotten on the list relatively recently and I’m more likely to get irritated by certain shenanigans than I used to be.

Sorry, that should be “as long as they’re NOT just being bent out of shape…” Typing too fast on Tapatalk… Edit: oh, I found a way to edit my post in Tapatalk, so situation fixed. Nothing to see here.

Oh, I don't think it would be just a handful and, as long as they're not just being bent out of shape about Starbuck being a woman, I think it's a valid choice. Fact is, the two shows are pretty different. The original show is much simpler the way it contrasts the refugee fleet and the Cylons...

I don't think it's a wrong term - there's a difference between games that have some exceptions (like chess and Monopoly) and ones that are heavily based on it. And 4e is definitely heavily based on it. Exactly how much it really differentiates 4e from earlier editions of D&D may be subject to...

Here's hoping they keep it to one movie and not let it bloat to Hobbit-trilogy-sized proportions.

Maybe... if Ben weren't Jewish (as he canonically is) or if the Nazis hadn't based some of their anti-Semitic rhetoric and persecution on how Jews looked (in facial features, dress, hair, etc) despite many looking like any other Germans. But nitpicking about which civil rights fight is the more...

There also wasn’t widespread speculation on who the figure represented. The perspective and anonymity implied it was YOU the player in an active role as a fantasy hero. That the figure was painted as a male and, as you say, was widely interpreted as male is part of the institutional sexism of...

We've been there before. These white guys from major league baseball are celebrities - these players from the Negro League... aren't. Elvis can get played on white-dominated radio and with most record labels, these black artists who influenced Elvis have to be relegated to lesser known "race...

The set-up is the Greatest Of All Time.

He might have a disparagement clause relevant he has to abide by. Or he might just be avoiding burning his bridges behind him.

Sure are a lot of posters with low... something... count in that thread. But that's pretty much to be expected.

Steve Albini has died at 61. https://pitchfork.com/news/steve-albini-storied-producer-and-icon-of-the-rock-underground-dies-at-61/

Maybe yes, maybe no? If Cocks hadn’t come up to Hasbro CEO through being president of Wizards, would he have been as involved in a decision like that at the Wizards level? We don’t really know. Or does this mean the plan was already in the works while Cocks was still at Wizards about a year...

Picked up the Dragonbane Bestiary and have put Vecna on order at my FLGS.

Why can't it be both, as in the grueling game schedule AND the other stuff?

Word.

Time to open up to your players. Past time, really. I'm not going to say switch therapists given how hard they can be to get and build a relationship with. But you're hosting events all the time and investing a lot of time and energy without much help - if your therapist isn't grokking that, he...

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought when you said you considered canceling the session. That's why I asked. And a good friend, when in the situation, will do that because stuff happens. Yeah, those drives take a LOT more out of me than when I was younger too. I've been driving to and from...

Yeah, but ideally a friend will not have their other friends drive themselves into exhaustion to support their grief either. I'll admit it's complex, but clearly Retreater is paying a substantial cost in physical and emotional labor and it doesn't seem like many (if any) of his players are in...

This may sound like a special, extenuating circumstance, and it is a bit different from most, but everything else has sounded like an extenuating circumstance to keep you from doing the right thing... which is getting some rest. You say you considered canceling the regular 4e game - but never...
