He's spiteful and stupid.

At family gatherings for holidays and birthdays inevitably someone would bop a balloon around, and this game would naturally emerge. Perhaps my family were secretly scientists.

If republicans were smart or had a working soul, they wouldn't be republicans.

Well, technically there's Vampire: The Requiem. It's very similar, but not in the exact same universe. Some of the names are reused, but there's no canon metaplot, and many details are changed. I personally liked it a lot, but I think it's less popular than Masquerade.

If you want to roll your own setting, I bet there are generic systems that would work. Fate is my go-to, and I can see how it would work. (Probably a stress track for hunger, some consequence boxes for becoming a monster)

try to talk them out of the idea of “Leveling” they get scared and run back to the system they’re familiar with.

I still think about the time in college I tried to get a D&D friend to consider Mage. I was telling him about how you can just do magic, and the real limitation is paradox and hubris. Like, it's often not about 'can you?' but rather "should you?"

He couldn't get over "you can just cast whatever you want? Fireballs every turn?"

"Yes, but that's probably going to make a lot of paradox, and probably isn't the best way to solve your problem"

"Sounds broken," he said, and lost interest.

I wish they continued to follow them in a different show

"Middle Decks" ?

I think it's kind of a cold start, bootstrap, problem. I don't want to pay for journalism when I don't have faith it'll be good, but since no one's paying for it it's not good

I started using recently. No complaints.

Does anyone know what you can put for the "suggestions API url" in Firefox? It's optional so I left it blank.

Well, for one, they know they're lying but they don't care. It's a tactical advantage for them to lie because a lot of people aren't going to know.

If you're pretty smart, imagine being drunk. All the time. Just moderately sloshed. That's what I think it's like for an average , kind of stupid , person. Poor memory, surges of emotions, incoherent thought. And they can't ever sober up.

Everything Bethesda does is kind of bad. I'll probably get them when they're on sale, but I don't expect anything good.

Get Larian to make a fallout game

Feels like we're going backwards now with like anti-vax stuff. A lot of tech seems to be getting worse for users, too, like IoT gadgets that stop working for remote reasons

This person is a disgrace.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
