Well written module though the format was an adjustment for players used to dungeon crawls. Like, roleplaying and negotiation were strongly encouraged if not required.

Supposedly smallpox vaccinations are some good against monkeypox. Trouble is, I think my last smallpox vaccination was in 1970.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Yeah, I know. The 1970 vaccination came because the Scout troop decided to go the summer camp in England, but the UK wouldn't let you in unless you'd had a smallpox vaccination in the last 18 months (and my previous one was in summer 1968).

This sounds as though the primary issue is not the one title but censorship. My personal opinion has always been that all materials need to be freely available in all forms to all people. This doesn't mean that they will read this material, just that they have the ability to get it they so choose and not have some outside force say that is on some banned list so they must choose something else.

Sub in "calculus" for "gender queer", and Americans (and I think others but I less sure of that) have been attempting this suppression for over 150 years.

My thought is, what took them so long to try suing the book store? It's a completely natural extension of their suppressive tactics. And yeah, this is nothing but a test case; if they can win, then the landslide begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 I've got no problem with algebra. I can do a little trigonometry when necessary. I can even figure out matrices, given sufficient time and motivation. But calculus is where I reach my limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
