  1. Sorry, tribble. I hope she gets better soon. Good luck with the court stuff as well.
  2. Newsom does have a point, as the people were taken to a different place against their will. Maybe some were more agreeable than others, but nobody was given a choice. Still, you can't ignore the political grandstanding on both parts, considering Newsom and DeSantis are both eyeing a run for the White House in 2024.
  3. I originally planned to use the Alcubierre Drive for my campaign, but I never got around to the write-up. I also looked at the Stutterwarp from the 2300 AD game. Either way, I probably would have used whatever mechanic is in Star HERO. I abandoned the idea after deciding my campaign would be limited to our solar system.
  4. Virtual Photography -- more than just taking screenshots of your MMO.
  5. The politics of hate: GOP governors send buses of migrants to DC, NYC And while it's to recent to find in a Google search, President Biden just delivered a speech condemning hate-fueled violence.
  6. I finally ordered those speed paints from Amazon. Of course, I had to buy a few miniatures to test them on.
  7. I'd like to eliminate political parties altogether.
  8. Since painting blonde hair is a challenge for many folks, myself included:
  9. I've seen a few of his videos. I don't often watch gameplay unless I want to see how the system works (TTRPG) or I'm stuck on a particular quest (MMO). I do make the odd exception, though. I've heard of Mythic GM Emulator, but I don't think I need it. I have done a lot of solo play before without it.
  10. Meanwhile, back at the ranch: Dept. of Justice Issues 40 Subpeonas in Jan. 6 Probe
  11. I have no plans for streaming my solo games, but I have a couple of ideas if I were. Nothing revolutionary, just a couple of thoughts in my head that I need to share. If I were going to use an overhead camera mount, I'd definitely try to use a battle mat with some features. Loke BattleMats has several books with premade dungeons and wilderness settings (Note that I am not endorsing Loke or any other product; I just need a convenient example). I would use 2D tokens in place of miniatures; they'd be easier for the audience to discern. I would have the camera angle wide enough to see my dice rolls, ideally on a dice tray. If I were going to use a regular tripod instead, I'd hang a magnetic whiteboard with grids on a wall. I would have to draw the terrain. I would still use tokens, but they would be glued to magnetic bases. The audience wouldn't be able to see the dice rolls, so I'd have to announce the results. This way is less visually appealing, but it may be simpler and possibly cheaper.
  12. I have not seen the show, but if it's about forging the Rings of Power as the title implies, Sauron/Annatar will have to become a major character sooner or later.
  13. Getting gifts after you tell people not to give you any.
  14. Wine is not a gift. It's a tool for surviving life.

  16. How did the US Open results affect the rankings?
