From my understanding, Season 2 somehow acknowledges that Season 1 happened, but Season 2 also exists independently from Season 1. I have now idea how or if they will address that in show.

There's truth to this, but even Conan could (and did) fail at things. Yes, he could fight multiple combatants and win, but he still needed an army to fight an army. He could bleed. He could be hurt or captured. Sometimes, luck was a factor, but he also had tangible skill in leading a combat...

I do that sometimes. Sometimes it was to get a particular theme, but sometimes it was to help balance some things out. I liked the Munchkin Fu theme, but the monsters were kinda week in that set. In contrast, the Cthulu set could be a bit tough. Together, it was a nice variety that hit a good...

Unfortunately, I think that one (and the Marvel one) were done via partnership with USAopoly, so I'm not sure it will be reprinted. All of the other sets that I have have SJ Games item number on them.

Fluff and Crunch should have a coherent relationship. If the dice are regularly telling a different story than what the fiction of the game is telling, there's an issue.

I feel that the choices some of these companies are making are, to be blunt, kinda dumb. If your goal (as a business) is to make money, why would you make your potential customer base smaller? I understand having personal morals and how that may influence business decisions. But, at a certain...

On the topic of Munchkin, what are some of your favorite sets that aren't just Munchkin? Cthulu Munchkin can be fun. Wizard of Oz Munchkin is good, but surprisingly rough on the players with some of the Bad Stuff from monsters.

Someone can be deemed not guilty of a crime yet still sued (and potentially liable) in civil court. "Wrongful" and "illegal" are not necessarily synonymous.

In some states, it's a thing. Your wife is correct, even when they do allow it, they'll charge more. (Supposedly due to increased insurance risks.) There are also some places that have weird alcohol laws regarding whether or not someone is allowed to sit at a restaurant table where someone...

I could see that. I was very happy with the content. I haven't thought much about the actual box itself.

I picked up the big box. Very happy with it.

I missed this when you posted it earlier. Thank you for the information. That is very helpful. The answer to my own question appears to be (as is the case here) that the presiding authorities take the position of prohibiting action rather than compulsory action. From a cursory glance, it...

Yes, but the mechanism of how they do that differs. As such, the approach to how they would be legally challenged or enforced would also differ. That's an example of how something was worded making a difference because an entity took advantage of small differences in wording. And that's your...

In most cases, I agree, but not always. And maybe it is semantics, but sometimes semantics and how something is worded actually does matter. Example: When I was a college student, the State made the college promise not to raise tuition if they were given more State money. The college...

Yes, I did ask if the govt has the position of "you cannot deny sale of a requested item to X group" or does the govt say "you are mandated to sell a requested item to X group"? I acknowledge that you feel there is no difference. I disagree. There is a difference between an authority saying...

It's an example of compelled action versus banned action, which is what I was discussing. Sure, I'm currently in Pennsylvania. Where I encountered that issue with the local govt was in Blair County. As said, in recent years, they don't really try anymore, but they were kinda a-holes about it...

Not everyone applying for HUD housing is a protected class, no. Also, it wasn't the organization making the choice. The "choice" was mandated. That's an example of compulsion to do something versus being told you cannot do something. There is a difference, and that is an example that exists...

Another example: Let's say, for example, I decide to sell a car to you. If the local govt here feels that the amount that you and I have mutually agreed upon is below what the local govt feels I should sell the car for, they can try to force me to charge you more. Thankfully, most attempts...

Not exactly, but sorta... Currently, I work for an agency that deals with HUD subsidized housing. In some cases, yes, there actually are times when I have been required to give an available apartment to a particular person over someone else, even when the someone else was -by the normal rules...

There is a difference. As was explained by someone else upthread, it was ruled that the govt cannot compel speech. That is an example of there being a tangible and legal difference between saying "you cannot do X" versus "you must do X." Obviously, the shadowbans mentioned are not a speech...
