    Gotta be New England or perhaps Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI, or Newfoundland.

     

    A picture like that from the Pacific coast ... well, the red, orange, and yellow would all be fire.

    Or rain lots of rain. Fall in the PNW starts with the rains

    1. There is, as far as I have heard, no verified peer-reviewed evidence that ivermectin has any effect whatsoever on COVID-19.

     

    2. Ivermectin isn't hard to get. You can walk into IFA or pretty much any farm supply store and buy it, no prescription needed. It's in the horse supplies section. 

     

    Yeah, I know, facts like this don't really have much role in the current narrative. But they are facts nonetheless.

    Oh, heck yeah.  NO bet there.  She's gonna scream to anyone that listens that the hospital killed her hubby by "brutally denying the treatment that could have saved his life!!!!"  In suitably dramatic tones, preferably with crocodile tears...at least occasionally.

  3. looks like the APG picked

    Build her using the Miniscule size template, then buy a limited form of Growth to allow her to get bigger. so 56 points for the +8 DCV and +8 to stealth then 4 levels of 'get back to human size' for 12 points* modified by Adv/limits then 20 points back for the size Complication (F/G)

    I dont have this book. A quick summary, perhaps? 

    It is a full page on size and the implications for the use of Growth and Shrinking.

    not a lot of fluff so i'm not sure how much I should post

     

    As shown in the Small Size Templates and in the Shrinking Power, being smaller than normal doesn’t automatically reduce a character’s STR, CON, PRE, defenses, BODY, STUN, or Running. The negative effects it has, as indicated in the mandatory Physical Complication, are being ⅛ mass, a halving of Reach, and suffering +6m of Knockback (distance only) per halving of height.
    Therefore, in most cases, all that a level of Growth needs to do for a small character is double his height, double his Reach, and add -6m of Knockback Resistance. Since that’s all Growth provides, each level should only cost 3 Character Points. Once a small character reaches normal human size this way, if he wants to Grow further he has to buy normal Growth at the costs listed in the table on 6E1 229.

    As RPG or in fiction? Lots before that fiction wise.

    Surprised the above does not mention Mercedes Lackey with her Diane Tregarde (sp?),  Serrated Edge, or Bardic Bedlam series. Those were all solidly Urban Fantasy.

    The SERRAted Edge setting by Mercedes Lackey or the Mercyverse setting by Patricia Briggs could make a good setting for a game wold
