You know you’re never going to get any hard evidence other than surface-level stuff that they can get from their bigot blogs, because bigots hate actually engaging with media.

That really is over-engineered. Did no one at the company give a moments thought to accessibility? The number of small, smooth, twisty interlocking parts on display looks like a nightmare for anyone with any sort of dexterity issues. The able-bodied also tend to take the ability to twist things for granted; why have a twist-up plunger when it looks like it services as a regular plunger?

I’ve been experimenting with short rests. A 1-2 hour nap when I get home gives me the energy for activities, rather than droning through activities like a zombie for the sake of another couple hours.

Inventory management can be fun if implemented well by the system. See Traveller. “We’ve got 3dT of cargo space left. The locals are paying crap for petrochemicals but they’re having a fire sale on marble. If we basically give away that benzene that no one’s bought in 3 months, we can fill up on marble that some architect will definitely snatch up at the next class A starport.”

It’s not a necessary tool for all fields. I don’t know your area but mathematics journals have vastly different style guides and citation standards. The best way to handle this is to export a bibtex citation which is just a list of metadata tags, then plug in the journal’s style header before compiling your TeX.

It’s a difficult one to rule, as suddenly being meticulous about positioning and line of sight telegraphs that the players should suddenly be focused on these things. I usually just have them roll luck or try to perceive the threat before they accidentally trigger its ability. If they fail, they get a Medusa blast

That’s because mathematicians use log for the natural logarithm. Log base 10 would be log_10

Hand them 4 pre-gens and run them through the Haunting for Call of Cthulhu. It’s made to be a pick up and play introductory scenario.

Do you keep restarting or wiping on fights? There simply isn’t 120 hours of content in a single playthrough of act I.

There are just so many quests in the Lower City, and they’re all great.

The good old Narcissist’s Tankie’s Prayer:

That didn’t happen,

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad,

And if it was, that’s not a big deal,

And if it is, that’s not my fault,

And if it was, that’s Western propaganda,

And if it isn’t, you deserved it.

Sounds good. With the abundance of potions, any composition is viable. I’m currently part of a monk co-op, two short stacks and me as the githyanki skill guy.

Take about 20% off there, bud.

“Depression is a myth; tidy your room. Also, I’ve been clinically depressed for my whole adult life and I shamble from one crisis to another.”

Trash take. Bae’zel is a top tier romance.

Spoilers for Act 3 stuff. Prewarning because spoiler tags don’t work on some mobile apps.

The Witcher 2, though it’s more of an exploit.

If you get the sword from the Lady of the Lake in the previous game, you start the prologue of TW2 with two silver swords, one being the Lady of the Lake sword. Unequip the Lady of the Lake sword so you don’t lose it to the dragon.

You now have a mid-tier silver sword that is good for half the game. You also don’t need to find a new silver sword at the start of the game.

Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Inspired the STALKER video games.

At some point in the 20th century, aliens esentially fired some rockets filled with garbage at the earth. The fallout of these rockets created several “exclusion zones” around earth. The book chiefly follows speculators who risk crossing military cordons in order to recover and sell salvaged tech.

It’s also beefing up some Tactician mode encounters. I’ll have to replay.

There aren’t many interactions which outright rob you of your agency, and indeed it’s very possible to resist the urges. It shouldn’t strongly impede any paladin playthrough, apart from that one hiccup that happens at camp.
