  1. I have never bothered to watch a presidential inauguration and I sure as hell won't start with this one.
  2. The two things the group really can't do without are a tank and a healer, and I don't know about the healer. Honestly the teams I remember best had nothing to do with what jobs everyone had, but what personalities and quirks they had. There was the dimwitted half-ogre who couldn't hit anything, who hated the quick witted archer, but in combat the archer would hide behind the half-ogre and then stun targets so they would be half DCV and the half-ogre could finish them off. "There, now can you hit him?!" There was the necromancer who probably shouldn't have been in the same group with the paladin but they usually both agreed on who needed to be killed, they'd just argue about exactly how. There were the two wizards who would compete to see who could be flashiest in combat, sometimes at risk to themselves or other party members. Anyway. My point is that I don't know that there really is an ideal party makeup by occupation, aside from having one or two guys who are just really durable and have reliable attacks. As long as each member has their own 'thing' that they can do, just about any party composition can work in FH.
  3. SIG P320 wins U.S. Army's Modular Handgun System contract
  4. After this past November? Hell no!
  5. Better get on it then, these humans aren't going to off themselves! (Not completely anyway.)
  6. Dungeons and Dragons in Dungeons
  7. But there are still lots of humans left. Lots and lots of you.
  8. Well... has anyone forcefully presented a holy symbol at you?
  9. So far. Perhaps one of these days a species will learn how to prey on humans really well.
  10. Is it just me or is Janet really getting around?
  11. Ever notice how plumbing problems always happen in the middle of the night or on major holidays? Sympathies.
  12. Actually they did, when he was kicking ass fighting for the good guys. But then he married a British chick, and some other Americans screwed him over, so he went over to the loser side.
  13. If you're talking about the nobility description towards the beginning of TM, those numbers are low, but they're minimums, not maximums. Historically a Duke who couldn't muster a thousand men was doing it wrong. That said, TM does seem to be a bit smaller scale than other campaign settings, so perhaps that is the reason for the smaller numbers.
  14. We used to track damage by inflicting wounds on the player to match those on his character. It really helps with the roleplaying. Note: this post may contain factual inaccuracies.
  15. We're already there. The A/C in my building can't balance uneven solar heating on the structure, so my office varies from 65 to 75 Fahrenheits over the course of the day. I would complain, but any "fix" would probably require that I strip down to my underwear to prevent heatstroke, and then it'd be an HR issue.
  16. "Forced to abdicate" is putting it politely. Hundreds of Royal Guard faced off with 1500 US Marines and non-native militia across the street, who had the full backing of the US Government. Lili'uokalani stepped down knowing armed resistance would only provoke a full scale invasion. Like most instances of Native American - U.S. relations, this was a case of corrupt Americans screwing over native people while no other Americans cared enough to put a stop to it.
  17. Agreed, but that doesn't change the fact that the Trump administration is a giant unforced error on the scale of the second invasion of Iraq. I'd like to see way more two-steps-forward and way less one-step-back.
