Hermit got a reaction from Lord Liaden in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
He tapped into a lot of resentment, much of it quite justifiable if misdirected. He told folks things like Rich people would be paying more, that he'd drain the swamp and stamp out the typical corruption, that he'd bring jobs in manufacturing back to America. Of course, none of those three were kept but we do tend to forget he made those statements... his followers certainly forget... or rationalize. Rich People are making more IF they cut him or his family/friends a chunk of the pie especially, not less; he didn't drain the swamp, he just put in whole new varieties of snakes, some far more toxic than what was there before; and he would make a show of 'saving' fifty jobs at an American factory while ignoring the dozens more companies that happily kept up business as usual or automated with more deals under the table than ever it seems.
Now, those that voted for him are divided into chunks. Those who regret; those who see him as winning and would rather win without morality than risk losing with higher ideals; and those who dare not, not even for a moment, admit they have become cheerleaders for villains bordering on the cartoonish but with ramifications far too harmful to the country.
Of course, it's not just Republicans that voted for him... but let's hope the Independents that were Pro Trump have realized this little experiment has not worked well at all.

"My Right to Swing my fist ends where your nose begins" to quote a US govt. Teacher who I am sure was quoting someone else, but it always stuck with me how she was careful to phrase it ie we've got to think of the other person in the use of our freedoms and how it might step on theirs.

So, who is Solitaire's father, anyway? Who is the head of the Vega$ criminal empire that he's trying to take over (and Moon Knight and company are trying to take down)?
Only the most feared crime boss around:
Option: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Las Vegas

Hermit got a reaction from Amorkca in Create a Hero Theme Team!
Vulgarian- A rather handsome humanoid with cat like eyes , only a slight face ridge with powers of light manipulation, Vulgarian is built for attention. In more ways that people know- for his power channels excess psychic emotional energy around him to add to his power! The more emotions around him, and not from himself, the more powerful his photokinetic abilities become. So he showboats to please crowds, provokes his foes to anger them, and more! The calmer his opponents the less effective he is, but get him in a crowd of hundreds and his abilities become truly frightening! Of course, the down side is to this is he can end up endangering the very crowds he often relies on.

Hermit got a reaction from drunkonduty in In your campaign setting, how do dragons perceive those that wear dragon-hide/dragon-scale armor?
It depends on the dragon.. I did actually have THIS situation rise up in one game
"So, you have come to my lair have you, hoping to catch the old wyrm unaware? Foolish adventurers I..." The dragon's eyes narrow as he realizes the scale armor on one warrior looks...familiar, then "Wait, Lenathrax? Lennie, are you wearing LENNIE? Oh I HATED that guy, hey sit down, have a drink or something. I want to hear how that wretched son of a Wyvern got his"

George Carlin used to be one of my favorite comedians. His earlier social commentary was seasoned with wry humor and clever whimsy; but as he got older he became increasingly bitter and nasty. I'm not saying he didn't have cause, and ripping fools and reprobates a new one is a valid activity; but IMO it doesn't belong on an entertainer's stage.
