tkdguy reacted to DShomshak in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
A recent The Daily episode dealt with Biden's supposed senility. The reporter noted that Biden has a very long history of mixing up names and sentences that wander off into unexpected territory. Also addressed the cognitive advantages of old age: less glib, but better judgment. Slower speed, but better aim, so to speak.
I am reminded here of the assessment of someone who knows former House Speaker Newt Gingrich well. In ten minutes the man can be relied on to come out with ten startling, original, and superficially brilliant ideas... half of which contradict the other half, and nine out of ten of which turn out to be batsh*t insane once you look at them closely. Really, not someone I would want with his hand on The Big Red Button.
As I grow older myself, I place greater value on temperament than cleverness. I trust Biden to at least try to do the right thing, even if I may disagree with him about what the right thing is.

Even if Biden's cognitively impaired, I'll take him over a (much more) cognitively and morally impaired Trump.

Thank you. Just the thing to refer people to who keep repeating that canard because the guy who almost certainly has real cognitive dysfunction keeps throwing out that slander.

"Ok, let's take it from the top."
"The top of what??"
"Name!"
"My name?"
"No, my name!"
"I do not know your name."
"You play games with me mister, and you're through!!"
"I am? May I go now?"

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.

Not really sure why I prefer the not-magic guys. To be completely hinest with myself,I think it is because, in general, I dont like magic.

One way to spice up solo play is to run a monster vs. monster combat. In my campaign, rocs and griffons are natural enemies, so when they meet they fight to the death. I just ran a such a battle. The roc was winning for most of the fight, but the griffon got in a few good hits afterwards, and won initiative in the last round. I allowed the roc a dying blow, and the griffon survived with 2 hit points remaining.

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.
