That could make for a fun gimmick(tie it to a roll behind the scenes) for a session, but beyond that, fuck no. Not only would it be an absolute drag timing out each conversation, eventually the party will start working out ways to get around it, be it a graceful zone of silence to the more likely “Gut the loudmouth and use the corpse as a puppet”.
It’s based on the first book of a trilogy, the series is called His Dark Materials, and was a fucking travesty of a film adaptation. I’m honestly glad they didn’t go forward with the rest, I doubt they would have handled the other two any better.
I can’t speak on Amazons attempt, haven’t gotten around to it yet, but can recommend the books. They’re a good read.
Halo LAN parties are also right up there, for me. Made some good memories, even found a team for a time. We did local tournies, never anything big, but it was always fun showing up together at a party and get to face off against each other.
Sleep is a DPS loss. Keep a bottle of caffeine pills so when you’re in the slow part of your rotation, you can pop a couple. Also remember to keep your empty 2 liters on hand, you can recycle them into piss bottles.
And it’s time to move up to a standing desk. Gotta keep the deep vein thrombosis away, after all.
In my experience, you might annoy the “hardcore” ones, but most people won’t be bothered. Hell, people may honestly join in, so long as you aren’t causing any problems.
A lot of the Faire folk I have met are just happy people are participating and having a good time, and if you put effort into a costume, even better.
I always love a good “I have achieved immortality” right before they die.
Sends everyone panicking, looking for the phylactery, warning people to keep their eyes out, “he’s still out there”, and yet the only thing left is the memory they’re keeping alive with their paranoia.
I have watched a party get absolutely consumed by it. It was a blast getting to give the “While you hunted for a pawn that wasn’t even on the table, I made my gambit” speech and have them realize what was meant with immortality.
Was even better when I pulled out notes on everything they theorized, and threw the Uber-BBEN of their own making at them. A twisted Frankenstein’s Monster made out of their own thoughts, barreling down at them from the gaping maw of Hell. The only thing missing was someone trying to turn it into the Staypuft Marshmallow Man.
I have been playing a lot of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral and memorizing what each character likes can be a bit daunting at times so I use it a lot. It also helps when you are trying to figure out certain character’s schedule and where specific items are found....
It’s a reasonable fear, but I feel like it has enough renown for them to be worried about a backlash like 3 got. I know it’s not the most popular, but it’s been popping up more and more in the conversation when REmakes get brought up.
Outbreak is my fear for “Yeah, let’s shit this out real quick” treatment. As much as I would love to see it get some real attention with the hardware we have now, I can’t see it getting any real work put in. Especially after the travesty that was the last MP offering.
Look at salmon. They got, like, two. I mean, sure, ones only to either be born or fuck and die in, but it’s part of their life. I’m certain they get their mail forwarded once they begin the great breeding run.
I have got my OLED Steamdeck today and made a picture with my old one side by side. The display is a little bit bigger, the touch screen is way better (more like a smartphone).
I saw this and laughed because a few months back I ran a one-shot (Darkmoor I believe) that had possible vampire wildlife in it and used this exact deer for my tokens. And added a bit of blood to the fangs because why not.
Wasn’t it Mt. Dew and Doritos, or has it mainly been Halo hitting the double dip on that?
They’ve been doing it for so long now, I’ve forgotten. I think the earliest I remember was those WoW-based sodas that had a pet tied to which flavor you got.
Then came the wall of Master Chief watching you walk down the aisle trying to do your shopping.
Car Talk with Martok is off this week for Thanksgiving and because I have COVID and am embracing the sweet release of death. Come back from my break and a day later get fucked. Come on....
I swear to fuck, the first person to say how terrible it is that we have to work on Thanksgiving with a cart full of dinner rolls is getting a hot cookie to the face. I might see if I can shape a couple for better impact.
Possibly my boss, too. I already know that he’s going to push the entire store to stay open later than advertised because “we might get a big emergency order!”
I fucking love G.U.R.P.S. Is it ground breaking? No. Is it fun to smash 6 different flavors together, hash out what survives, and run a short adventure or a few one-shots? Hell yeah! It’s not often I run into anyone who has a fondness for the system. Hell, I get kinda excited if someones even heard of it, even if they didn’t have a great experience.
Also rather enjoyed Ironclaw. I see it written off as “That Furry TT”, but I had a good time with it. Would happily play more.
See, you’re only looking at one part of the skeletal recycling economy. Sure, the skull companies only want the skulls, but the rest can be easily sold off to other parts of the industry.
Even within the skull industry, it’s a constant drip down. If a skull isn’t good for the Skull Throne, you send it out to the Cup people, who might send it to Goblet to decide, and so on.
The rest of the body, not even just the skeleton, is dispersed amongst these different branches as needed, and whatever isn’t usable directly can always get shipped off to the pig farm.
It’s quiet a nice, clean system. Wouldn’t you love to be part of such a economic feat?
I’ll be honest, if I read it somewhere, I have no clue. I just can’t help but see that as a “I have made a mistake” face, and I figured “return to egg” would be a bird’s closest “I want my mommy”.
There’s a certain level of depression one hits when you find yourself quietly praying the playlist fucks up again, because damn, you’d rather hear “Benny and the Jets” again over another Christmas song.
My store, thankfully, holds off until about a week before Christmas and the week after. It’s still absolute hell.
This is an absolutely boring one, but did you know part of your seatbelt, right now, could just be colored in?
How about your seat cover? Your steering wheel? Some poor bastard had to go get that out of stock, bring it into repair, go over the entire lot, and take a special pencil to color in those little scratches, or mark it as unrepairable.
I was that bastard for awhile. It sucked. 10 hours going over whatever needed checking that day. An “exciting” day meant a defect hit the line and we needed to hunt it down, hopefully without stopping production.
“Repair” can cover a lot of things, and that was the worst repair work I’ve ever done.
I learned playing fast and loose, dammit, I’m going to keep doing it.
Also having a walking Deus Ex Machina in my back pocket helps. If things get too out of whack, they get her attention. No one wants to get her attention. I’ve even unleashed her own my own plans when I realized shit just went sideways and the nuke needs to even the playing field a bit.
Mine mostly don’t really care unless there’s some kind of motion going on.
Unless you play the Eufloria soundtrack. Then the oldest one suddenly freaks the hell out and tries to escape whatever room he’s in. No clue why, just immediate panic and run.

Swap the pet panther for a small passal of oppossums.
I want to hear the rustle of those tails across the flagstone floors, the echoing munch of happiness as the pantry is raided for its fruits, and the silent screams directed at our asses to bring down the hallowed halls.
It would be a wealth of social information. Political events, economic crisis, the views of the common man of the time, all have been represented through memery. This is, in a sense, a journal of opinion with a wonderful look across spectrums. They also encapsulate humor, showing where it has and hasn’t changed across generations.
Sure, a massive chunk would be highly irrelevant, but it’s still a solid look into part of a wide culture.
