Old Man

There has been plenty of barbarism in mankind's history, yes, but WWI was really the first instance of mechanized slaughter on a scale of millions. I also don't get the sense that she would have stuck around to see how it all ended.

Maybe you should let CBP know, because they don't act like it.

Let me apologize for my conduct. It was a long flight on short notice, and I…I like to focus, to…to work quickly. The deaths of Mr. Pushkin’s men have interrupted his operations here. Imports, movements of goods, have all ceased. That’s unacceptable. I am the one Mr. Pushkin calls in when people like you f__k up. I’m accountable now. You have taken Mr. Pushkin’s money for years. Money that comes with conditions. Non-negotiable conditions. Problem you’re having with me is you think you still matter. You don’t. I am all that matters. And so we’re clear. I’m not here to say “please.” I’m here to tell you what to do.

Your heart’s beating three times the normal rate. It’s because you’re losing so much blood. About thirty seconds your body’s gonna shut down and you’re gonna suffocate. Alina, the girl you beat half to death, her life’s gonna go on. Yours is gonna end right here, on this funky floor over ninety-eight hundred dollars. You should have taken the money.

That 13% is still 200 million people, locked out of the country for no reason besides religion and fear. Some of them are Americans, or family members of Americans.

2780. As it happens, 3000 was a maximum, not a minimum.

Growth in 6th ed is so jacked I'm afraid to use it for anything. Some density increase might be warranted just to get the mass up to where it ought to be (up to 400 kilos for large grizzly specimens).

Odd races are a function of setting. There's nothing wrong with a campaign set in the fantasy equivalent of Mos Eisley, where everyone is a freak. For purposes of a basic FH book, however, including elves and dwarves would probably cover 95% of the players who like to play non-humans. I wouldn't want to include too many races since we're already having trouble getting "basic" FH down to an unimposing size.

The problem with animal shapeshifters in FH is that, by and large, mundane animals are just not that fearsome. This bear is about as badass as a regular beast gets, and the best it can do is 2d6+1K with an OCV of 3 and a whopping rDEF of 4. Most starting FH warriors have that beat. Admittedly, it may be better at melee than a druid's normal form, and if it's one of multiple forms the druid can toggle through (hawk, fish, stag, wolf) for movement and recon, then that's a lot more useful. But if this bear form is supposed to wade into melee on a regular basis it probably needs to be upgunned.

There is an obvious distinction between the philosophies of Superman and Batman that isn't lost on the boy. Or wasn't, prior to this film.

Good.

Came home the other night to find the boys watching this film--they had come across it while channel surfing. I didn't get to watch the whole thing, because I am too busy adulting in the evenings to be able to watch much TV. But I did see Batman pick up a gun, and kill people. I saw Metropolis get hit with the equivalent of several tactical nuclear explosions, only some of which were caused by a supervillain. And if my eight year old is cheering when Superman seemingly dies, because he thought Superman was the bad guy, somebody did something wrong. I should not have to reeducate my kid about Superman! What the actual f__k?

More to the point, I think that elves and dwarves are popular enough that they need to be included in any fantasy game for fear of alienating that one player who must play an elf.. To them I might add a race or two to showcase what Hero can do.

904. Just 2096 to go.

What if the Plutonians just have better anti-asteroid defenses than we do?

No, no, W was the Iranian mole, as long as we're trading theories. Everything that man did benefited Iran more than any other country. Obama was shockingly naive though.

Shooting at a Quebec mosque. Multiple deaths and injuries. Man do people suck sometimes or what?

It would make perfect sense if Trump is a Russian mole. Just sayin'.

We're also seeing a Constitutional crisis with Customs and Border Patrol flatly ignoring judicial orders staying Trump's immigration ban. This is what, day 7?

I just thought it would be a nice place to hike. (You know, aside from the unimaginably frigid temps and the hard vacuum.) What annoys me is that there's no scale.

It has some craters already.

Geez BB, that seems awfully sudden. What a terrible loss. I'll pray for your dad and for you.
