  1. Agreed. He has too many enablers in power.

  3. The commute of the future or special gear for high-tech crimefighters?
  4. Border Patrol Union Endorses Bipartisal Border Bill
  5. I thought old threads were archived and no new posts were allowed. At least that's what I saw some time ago. Has that changed?
  6. Yes, it's a fantasy version of California, where it's actually an island. Its name is Insula Calafia (Island of Calafia) after the mythical Amazon queen who ruled centuries ago. San Francisco is called Porta Aurea (Golden Gate) in this universe.
  7. Kelvin-Helmholtz Clouds I got to see those a few years ago when a coworker was driving me home. We both thought it was they were pretty cool.
  8. I watched a video where a few content creators got together for a chat about rpgs. The youngest one looked shocked when she found out about level drain in old-school D&D.
  9. On another note, I have been running short sessions every so often, using a calendar to track the date. So far, the adventurers traveled south to a forest and encountered a group of primitive humanoids who turned out to be hostile. The party was victorious, but the dwarf fighter was killed. While healing up in town, they met up with a couple more adventurers who decided to join them. Today's encounter involved a group of goblin bandits who attempted to ambush the PCs. The elf noticed the goblins. In the ensuing fight, one of the clerics was injured, but he dealt the killing blow on a goblin. The elf put 4 others to sleep, and the remaining goblin fled. The PCs made it to the next town without further excitement. The story continues. A couple of other details. Alcatraz will be called The Citadel, and will still be used as a prison. One of the taverns near the docks is called the Blue Nereid (Blue Mermaid irl). A comely barmaid named Brandy works there. She's a fine girl.
  10. L. Marcus traded his Beatles paraphernalia for an old trombone.
  11. I thought about using opposed skill rolls for easy resolution, but it would just give the end result, not the details like how many shots were traded during a rally or whether the serve was good. It also doesn't take into account fouls, unless you rule that a fumbled roll constitutes a foul. Then again, a lot of combat systems are abstract for a reason.
  12. How would you represent a sport in a roleplaying game or wargame? A boxing or martial arts match would be easy; just run it like a combat. But what about a basketball game or tennis match? Blood Bowl exists, so it is possible. But how would you create the game mechanics?

  15. IIRC Sam married Rosie before Frodo sailed west. I think Elanor had been born as well.
