Re: Climate Change

Never heard of "15 minute cities" before. If the Wikipedia article is accurate, it seems fine. I've been to several military bases like that. Not having to drive to get everything done is pretty nice, and all that walking helps your fitness. Listening to idiots arguing against climate chan...

Re: 2022 primaries

Yeah, we did pretty bad. It'd help if the orange clown would go away, but we also need to re-evaluate our message and policies. I'd like to see us make legal immigration way easier, to the point it's easier and cheaper than illegal immigration for everyone except criminals. I also want us to shift t...

Re: Fire Pro Wrestling World: Magical Girl Pro Wrestling

Amazing work so far. I'm familiar with the inner Senshi and She-Ra, and have heard of the outer scouts and Witchblade, but I don't know anything about the other competitors or their shows.

Re: Chrono Cross is still one of the worst games ever.

I saw that announced and immediately knew Lago would be pissed. Suikoden 1 wasn't bad, but I ragequit 2 once I realized that you would never get revenge on the flying monkey. At least in Dragon Age you can execute the assassin rather than recruit him.

(I screen police candidates for red flags like racist/homophobic/misogynistic/etc. writings and videos. I can teach an ethical person how to enforce the law; I have no use for the other type.)

Kamala Harris hired a new coms director, and he is now having to delete all his tweets. But why!? Are they not vetting their candidates' social media before making an offer?

I know in Alabama, a successful self defense claim makes you immune to civil and criminal penalties. Does anyone know if Wisconsin offers the same protection?

Re: Why are kobolds?

In the same vein as goblin->hobgoblin->bugbear, I have them pokevolve from kobold->lizardman->troll. (Trolls look like random plant monsters in 3e, but lizards can regenerate, so my trolls got reskinned as lizards and now all's right with the world.) They also come in both chromatic and metallic.

Re: Monte Cook's The Darkest House

If the answerer lies to The Gatekeeper, then they're told to get out, and the Gatekeeper will never allow them to pass.... I couldn't parse this bit. They try to leave, but if they lie about payment they're told to get out. Does he warp them out for lying, is this an error loop, or something else?

After he left I took another look, and discovered that my copy came with an expansion pack. So while I've been on leave I took my warden commander through Awakenings. Oghran was my bro, ...

Formalized, serialized order of operations is a good way to put it. It seems to enforce linear time: Before > When > After.

I've had over a dozen years experience with handguns as both a civilian and military policeman. I'd go with the revolver. I've had feeding problems from magazines that stay loaded 24/7, while the revolver can stay loaded without putting any stress on the weapon. However, I'm also older and child-fre...

If all heroes are mages, I think it'd be cleaner to remove the Mage tag from the Hero cards, and have the rule book refer to cards with "Mage or Hero tags."

Champions 5e movement question

I got Champions of the North for my birthday, and I'm trying to figure out how fast the NPCs are. One has SPD 7 and flight 33"/1056", another has running 21"/6" with SPD 6. I have Champions Complete, but it doesn't seem to address converting inches into MPH.

After the VA medical scandal, politicians made noises about taking care of us. Depending on where you are, they might have even accomplished something you can use. In addition to the VA ebenefits, you could try usajobs.gov.
